Reporter he said that his girlfriend had been kidnapped by strangers and asked for 8,500 on ransom story. They spent thousands of dollars searching around the clock for Denise Huskins, but today, she turned up at her dad the at her dads home. She was flown up to her dads home by jet, and right now, we have not had any contact with ms. Huskins or any other family member. They said they had a break in the case when they had a voice that seemed to be hers. Reporter it is not independently verified, but that the voice is hers and that the couple should give the community a apology.
