  • Summary

  • Terra Newell, the girl who killed Dirty John in self-defense, and Collier Landry, the kid who put his father in prison for killing his mother, have come together to promote ethical true crime. In each episode, they create a space for a survivor to share - in their own words - what happened to them. This is a show where you'll get to know the survivor for the person they are outside of the news story. Our goal is to make the true crime space better for survivors. Welcome to The Survivor Squad!

    Part 2: Citizen F's American Nightmare w/ Denise Huskins
    Mar 11 2024

Be a better you, one language at a time! *Rules and restrictions may apply. About our guest: Denise Huskins In March 2015, Denise and her boyfriend at the time, now husband Aaron Quinn, were victims in a home invasion. The intruders bound them up with zip ties, blinded them with blackout goggles, and forced them into a closet. Denise was then kidnapped. Aaron was able to break free later to call the police. Aaron told the police that Denise was being held ransom for two payments of $8,500. The Vallejo police never took him seriously. The police had his phone turned off where they could have had Denise’s location traced to be saved. Denise was then dropped off two days later by her family in Huntington Beach at her parents' house. The police and media did not believe them naming Denise the real-life gone girl.
