Denise Huskins

He was flown back to California to face those charges.

There, he was also charged with attacking the family in Contra Costa.

While sitting in the Santa Clara County Jail, Mueller wrote another letter.

He sent a letter to Nick Borges essentially indicating he had additional information that he wanted to provide to Denise and Aaron.

He's trying to lure Denise and Aaron into coming and talking to him.

I read that letter exactly that way.

DA Vern Pearson thinks meeting with Denise, in particular, may have been Mueller's objective for confessing all along.

DA Pearson was like, he's confessing to certain things for a reason.

They're all in California.

I think he wants to get back to California in hopes that he can meet with you.

Even though they were fully aware Mueller may have ulterior motives, Denise and Aaron did still want to talk with him.

Mueller had confirmed and given details about other crimes he had committed, but still maintained he acted alone in theirs.

Denise and Aaron are adamant they heard other people during their attack.

I felt like maybe, of all people, he would be more honest with us.

But having already spent many hours interviewing Mueller, Pearson did not want them in a room together.

They came up with a compromise.

On February 13, 2025, Mueller and his attorney met with Pearson, the FBI interviewer, and Chief Borges at the Santa Clara County Jail.

Denise and Aaron were there, too, watching from another room.

They had let him know early on in the interview, they're observing, they're not coming in.

I think that irritated him.
