Kidnapping survivor, once dismissed as a liar, now retrains police to help victims

Denise Huskins, who was accused of lying after surviving a home invasion and kidnapping, has now found herself teaming up with law enforcement.

The California woman, whose ordeal was chronicled in the Netflix true-crime docuseries “American Nightmare,” is now being invited to speak with officers who are looking to change the way they are trained to interrogate suspects.

The 40-year-old recently spoke out in a true crime podcast by PAVE Studios, “Clues,” which is hosted by Morgan Absher and Kaelyn Moore. The weekly series aims to analyze some of “the world’s most infamous crimes where a single clue can crack a case wide open.”

“Who I really am – the core of my being, my values, my worth – I wasn’t going to let anyone dictate that,” she added.

New episodes of “Clues” drops every week. “American Liar” is available for streaming on Netflix. Fox News Digital’s Stepheny Price and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
