Mother of 'Gone Girl' Vallejo kidnapping victim criticizes police

With the revelation this week that a couple in Vallejo may not have staged a kidnapping-for-ransom plot, a victim's parent is saying police created a public backlash that is only now subsiding.

“They caused us a lot of pain, and they didn’t care,” Marianne Quinn, mother of Aaron Quinn, told ABC News.

Authorities now say Aaron Quinn and his girlfriend, Denise Huskins, were the apparent victims of an elaborate kidnapping scheme that has drawn comparisons to the plot of the movie “Gone Girl.”

Quinn called Vallejo police on March 23 at 1:53 p.m. to report that thieves had entered his and Huskins’ Mare Island home in the early morning hours and drugged them, according to the FBI.
