Was Denise Huskins the "real-life Gone Girl?" Netflix's latest three-part true-crime docuseries "American Nightmare" delves into the astonishingly bizarre true account of the home invasion and abduction of Denise Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn.

Denise Huskins' ordeal has often been likened to the plot of the novel and film "Gone Girl," but this new true-crime documentary series unravels the bizarre home invasion and kidnapping of Denise Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn. In 2015, the couple was reportedly abducted by masked intruders dressed in wetsuits, with Aaron left bound and gagged. Aaron underwent extensive police interrogations, leading to public speculation about his potential involvement. Authorities were skeptical of his account, considering it too outlandish to be true. The perplexing kidnapping case gained nationwide attention.

However, a twist in the tale occurred when Denise reappeared at her home, recounting an unbelievable story of being held captive by masked individuals before being released. This turn of events led to her being dubbed the "real-life Gone Girl." Aaron and Denise faced immense stress and public scrutiny during this time, but eventually, the truth emerged.

Directed by Felicity Morris and produced by Bernadette Higgins, the same team behind the true-crime Netflix documentary "The Tinder Swindler," "American Nightmare" provides a comprehensive retelling of these events, featuring firsthand accounts from those involved, including Denise Huskins.

Comprising three episodes, "American Nightmare" is set to premiere on Netflix starting January 17th. Watch the newly-released trailer for a glimpse into this captivating story.
