In the pre-dawn hours of March 23, 2015, Aaron Quinn and his girlfriend Denise Huskins were asleep in his Vallejo, California, home, unaware they were being watched.
Denise Huskins Quinn : … around 3 a.m., we were awoken to a strange man saying "This is a robbery. We are not here to hurt you, stay calm."
They never saw his face, but, oddly, he was wearing a wet suit. He said he was part of a group of people there to rob them, but he did all the talking. In recalling what happened to them, Denise and Aaron call him "The Voice."
Denise Huskins Quinn : My eyes shot open and I saw flashing white light on the walls, and red laser dots scanning the walls … "The Voice" … instructed me to tie Aaron up with zip ties, left them on the edge of the bed …
Aaron Quinn : I'm tied up. He makes me hop to my closet. I could hear people downstairs going through the kitchen cabinet. I could hear a drill running.
