Matthew Muller, a California man serving a 40-year sentence for the notorious “Gone Girl” kidnapping and sexual assault case, now faces additional charges for two home invasion sexual assaults dating back to 2009. Prosecutors allege Muller, 47, invaded homes in Mountain View and Palo Alto, Calif., attacking women and forcing them to consume medications. DNA evidence has linked him to these earlier crimes. Muller’s 2015 crimes echoed the events of the film “Gone Girl,” as he kidnapped and assaulted Denise Huskins, prompting widespread media attention and public disbelief. Following Muller’s recent charges, authorities expressed commitment to holding him accountable and preventing further harm.
