• Matthew Muller, previously convicted in the 'Gone Girl' kidnapping case, faces new charges linked to two 2009 sexual assaults.
• Prosecutors allege Muller committed home invasions, tied up victims, and attempted to drug them.
• New DNA evidence has matched Muller to these earlier crimes following his confessions sent from prison.
• The district attorney emphasized the importance of accountability, noting, “This nightmare is over.”
• Muller's upcoming arraignment is set for January 17, 2024, as police continue to uncover past transgressions.

Matthew Muller, the man infamously linked to the 'Gone Girl' kidnapping of Denise Huskins, has been charged with two counts of felony sexual assault from his alleged home invasion crimes in 2009, as reported by The Guardian and India Times. The charges stem from a recent investigation that uncovered DNA evidence linking Muller to multiple assaults across the San Francisco Bay Area.

In a shocking twist, Muller sent letters from prison in 2024 confessing to additional sexual assaults, shedding light on a violent history that predates his kidnapping of Huskins in 2015. These revelations arose after a police chief, inspired by a documentary detailing the original crimes, began to review unsolved cold cases and reached out to Muller.

The charges against Muller, now 47, include forcefully entering homes, binding victims, and drugging them, which he detailed in his letters. Despite not having followed through with several assault attempts, the implications of his actions carry severe consequences, potentially leading to life imprisonment. “Our goal is to make sure this defendant is held accountable,” stated district attorney Jeff Rosen.

Muller, who has a history as a disbarred attorney and was once regarded as a promising professional, remains a figure of public notoriety and dread. His upcoming arraignment is anticipated to reveal further details about the case and the extent of his criminal behavior.
