Summary

Denise and Aaron continue telling us their harrowing story. They describe the humiliation and callous treatment that law enforcement put them through -- from interrogating Aaron for eighteen hours, to giving Denise the incredibly disrespectful (and FALSE) moniker of "Gone Girl". Aaron and Denise also talk about how they were saved by the determined detective work of Misty Carausu -- who was working in a completely different county on a different case. Yet she managed to connect the dots Vallejo police could not (or would not). Lastly, the couple talks about the healing process of writing the book "Victim F" together.

0:17.0	It's not an easy conversation in parts, but we believe it's a really important conversation that we need to have, and so too did Denise and Aaron.
0:27.0	So without further ado, here's our interview with Denise and Aaron.
0:32.0	I'm telling you, it did not happen the way that you're describing it. It did not. Period. I didn't perk her. And do any of that.
0:58.0	But let's surprise you most about the way that police treated him in those hours following Denise's kidnapping.
1:03.0	To see how Aaron Quinn was treated immediately by police, accused of being a killer, being sleep deprived, being asked the same question over and over again, he said, I understand why people falsely confess.
1:15.0	Hi, everyone. And welcome to Real Crime Profile. I'm Laura Richards, Criminal Behavioral Analyst, former New Scotland Yard, Victim Advocate, and Founder of Paladin National Stalking Advocacy Service, and host of the podcast Crime Analyst. And with me today is...

2:27.0	They're not only they they apologize. They're lawyers wrote apology letter. And then they signed it, which base was not apology.
2:36.0	I mean, I have to say that's the case.
2:41.0	From the law of the law of the law of the law of the law of the law.
