I think he blew his chance of an insanity defense by sending all those emails to the media, he acknowledged in them that he knew what he did and he knew it was wrong. The insanity defense in California requires: "Did not understand the nature of your criminal act, OR Did not understand that what you were doing was morally wrong" He should have quit while he was ahead, I think those emails did him in.

Speaking of emails. He told the cops that the kidnapping was not a hoax. I wonder if he felt bad for her. Or if he just wanted to get pursued by the law. Lol. Who does that when the coast is clear. Jmo.

yep, and that ^ is one of the reasons the cops thought it was the victim or the victim's boyfriend sending the emails I have no idea if the guy felt bad or maybe sending those emails was as exciting to him as the act itself. People like him are the scariest predators of all because they aren't committing crimes for money, or to seek revenge, they are playing out some kind of plot they dreamed up in their crazy head and no one knows what they will do next.

She was holding her boyfriends hand fairly tight on the news conference. The lead detective needs to resign. They treated her story like she was a hooker. Very sad indeed.

This reminds me of a couple of other cases I've read about recently, in Lee Butcher's At The Hands Of A Stranger and Johnny France's Incident at Big Sky. Just total weirdness. The perps in each case were seriously not thinking straight.

Reads like a novel doesn't it?

When people hear outlandish stories, they assume it is bogus. But there are stories out there that are indeed true and make your head spin.

Matthew Muller gives jailhouse interview,
"Muller told Goodrich, “I want to focus on the victims…I do feel very bad for Denise and other victims out there.”
Goodrich asked Muller what he thought when police said Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn made the kidnapping story up. He put his head down and quietly said, “that should never have happened to her.”
Muller also told Goodrich that he suffers from bipolar disorder, ranging from being hyper-focused, a high achiever and extremely productive to suicidal tendencies, paranoia, and psychosis.
He said, “Bipolar disorder has many different stages and levels. I don’t want anyone to fear someone who has depression or mental illness. Mine is extreme.” Muller also told Goodrich he was relieved to be in jail and in a controlled environment. He said if he were to have a breakdown, nothing bad would happen to him or anyone else."
