Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn know you have questions about what actually happened to them in 2015. They do, too.
“I don’t want to disappoint people, but the truth is, we don’t have all the answers,” Huskins tells Tudum. “We’re never going to get the answers. We’ve had a long road of trying to accept that.”
That search for answers is the subject of American Nightmare, the new doc series from The Tinder Swindlerfilmmakers Felicity Morris and Bernadette Higgins. The three-part series is an unflinching journey through Huskins’ and Quinn’s harrowing experience, beginning on March 23, 2015, when the pair were awakened in the middle of the night by a home invader.

When the worst happens, those at the center of the story hope for justice — or, at the very least, to be believed. Unfortunately, the vast, knotty criminal justice system doesn’t always prove so reliable. On March 23, 2015, Denise Huskins and her boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, were woken in the dead of night by a home invader. Huskins was kidnapped, and what transpired next in the terrifying tale is the subject of American Nightmare, the new docuseries from The Tinder Swindler filmmakers Felicity Morris and Bernadette Higgins.
“A lot of crime stories are very linear and obvious from the start.
