Convicted Kidnapper Matthew Muller Charged in 2009 Bay Area Home Invasions

Harvard-educated lawyer already serving 40 years for infamous 2015 kidnapping faces new allegations tied to DNA evidence.

Matthew Muller, known for a 2015 Vallejo kidnapping case, has been charged with home invasions and attempted rapes in Mountain View and Palo Alto from 2009.
Prosecutors allege Muller broke into two women's homes, restrained them, and forced them to consume medication, but both victims convinced him not to proceed with sexual assault.
DNA evidence recently linked Muller to the 2009 cases after Santa Clara County investigators reexamined cold case evidence.
Muller, a former Marine and Harvard-educated attorney, is currently serving a 40-year federal prison sentence for the 2015 kidnapping and sexual assault of Denise Huskins, a case marked by a botched police investigation.
Authorities believe Muller may have additional victims and are continuing their investigation with potential further revelations expected in the coming weeks.
