That's the message sent Thursday by lawyers for Aaron Quinn, the boyfriend of a woman who may or may not have been abducted in Vallejo, California, according to CNN affiliate KGO. 
 
 Quinn really was drugged and bound during the abduction of Denise Huskins, lawyers Daniel Russo and Amy Morton said during a press conference, KGO reported. 
 
 "What has been coming out makes him look like he's somehow perpetrating a hoax and I want to make it clear to everyone that we have not seen evidence yet that this was some kind of hoax," Russo said. 
 
 "As to the victim and her failure to cooperate with police, we don't know what that's motivated by," Russo said, according to KGO. "And it's unfair to speculate." 
 
 Huskins, 29, was reported kidnapped on Monday in Vallejo, California, with a demand for $8,500 ransom. She showed up safe and sound on Wednesday in Huntington Beach, 400 miles away. When Vallejo police went to talk with her she disappeared again. 
 
 Vallejo police have said they don't believe Huskins or Quinn, who initially told police Huskins was abducted. 
 
 "We know that the statement Mr. Quinn provided was such an unbelievable story we initially had a hard time believing it and, upon further investigation, were not able to substantiate any of the things he was saying," Vallejo police Lt. Kenny Park said. 
 
 Park called the case a "wild goose chase" that wasted department resources. 
 
 Huskins and Quinn are no longer cooperating with police, Park said. The Huskins family has hired a lawyer, too. 
 
 Charges are possible in the case, Park said, but those will be decided by the district attorney once the investigation is complete. 
 
 Reported kidnapping 
 
 The quickly changing developments left authorities frustrated. 
 
 Quinn called on Monday afternoon to report that his girlfriend had been kidnapped several hours earlier from his home. 
 
 At the time, Park said the case was being treated as a kidnap for ransom. 
 
 Huskins' father, Michael, made an emotional appeal through CNN affiliate KGO-TV in San Francisco directed at the kidnappers: "Don't hurt her, please don't hurt her." 
 
 "The biggest fear is the horror she might be going through ... that's my biggest fear. The horror, she doesn't deserve that, not from anybody." 
 
 "It's like a nightmare that I can't wake up from," her father told the affiliate. "This is not supposed to happen." 
 
 Audio recording 
 
 Then, the San Franciso Chronicle posted an audio clip. On it, a woman who identified herself as Denise Huskins says she has been abducted. 
 
 "My name is Denise Huskins. I am kidnapped, otherwise I'm fine," the voice says. "Earlier today there was a plane crash in Alps and 158 people died. And one thing that people know about me is that I went to my first concert, me and my mom, to Blink 182 (last word is inaudible)." 
 
 The editor in chief of the Chronicle, Audrey Cooper, said the newspaper received a link to the audio file in an email. 
 
 The Chronicle reported the anonymous email said Huskins would be "returned safely (Wednesday). We will send a link to her location after she has been dropped off. She will be in good health and safe while she waits. Any advance on us or our associates will create a dangerous situation for Denise. Wait until she is recovered and then proceed how you will. We will be ready." 
 
 Call to her father 
 
 Then came Wednesday. 
 
 The Chronicle reported that Huskins' father said he received a voice mail from his daughter saying she had been dropped off at his apartment. 
 
 He called police to ask that the authorities pick her up and make sure she was safe, he told the newspaper. 
 
 "I almost had a heart attack," he said, according to the Chronicle. "I tried to get authorities to pick her up, but they kept asking me a bunch of questions. I said, 'Send a squad car.' I was hyperventilating." 
 
 Officers from the Huntington Beach Police Department talked with Huskins at her father's apartment complex, department spokeswoman Jennifer Marlatt told reporters. 
 
 Huskins initially indicated she would be happy to talk with Vallejo police and provide details of what happened, according to Park. 
 
 Vallejo police and the FBI sent a jet to Huntington Beach to fly her back to the Bay Area. 
 
 When it was time to go, Huskins was a no show. 
 
 Authorities are unclear what exactly is going on. Or , if they know, they're not saying. 
 
 Police said the requested ransom amount was $8,500. The FBI is investigating the Huskins' financial records. 
 
 Expressing disappointment 
 
 About 40 detectives from various agencies and 100 support personnel "worked around the clock" on the case, leaving the community on edge, Park said. 
 
 "I can tell you that our investigation has concluded that none of the claims has been substantiated," he said. "And I can go one step further to say this: That this was not a random act and that the members of our community are safe and that they have nothing to fear." 
 
 "It's disappointing. It's disheartening," he said.

 The mysterious reported kidnapping for ransom took a new twist Wednesday night when authorities said the woman and her family who had made plans to talk to police had disappeared. 
 
 Denise Huskins, 29, was reportedly abducted Monday morning from a Vallejo home, police said. She was reported to be kidnapped by her boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, but was found safe Wednesday morning in Huntington Beach, her family and police told NBC4. 
 
 Now, police say, Huskins and Quinn have become the target of the investigation as police probe whether they did anything illegal in their report of a random, violent abduction and a ransom request of $8,500. 
 
 Huskins and her family had made plans Wednesday afternoon to speak with authorities but have since disappeared, Vallejo police said.

 Police said there was some indication that she would be cooperative and speak with investigators but when the FBI arranged a jet to bring her to Northern California for an interview, she was nowhere to be found. 
 
 Huskins has since retained an attorney and detectives do not know where she is, police said. 
 
 Since the investigation was launched on Monday, 40 detectives and over 100 personnel have been searching for and investigating Huskins' disappearance, which they said they didn't believe was a random act of violence.

 "Today, there is no evidence to support the claims that this was a stranger abduction or an abduction at all," Vallejo police said in a press release. "Given the facts that have been presented thus far, this event appears to be an orchestrated event and not a kidnapping." 
 
 Lt. Kenny Park of the Vallejo Police Department told reporters at a press conference Wednesday night that police are looking into possible state and federal charges in the case. Park also said Huskins and her boyfriend sent police on a "wild goose chase." 
 
 "The fact that we've wasted all these resources is really upsetting," Park said, adding that "Mr. Quinn and Ms. Huskins owe this community an apology."

 At an earlier news conference, Park said his department received a phone call from Huntington Beach police at 10:30 a.m. reporting Huskins had been found safe. Prior to the conference, Mike Huskins said his daughter, Denise, is safe in Huntington Beach. He didn't provide any other details. 
 
 Huskins' boyfriend claims an intruder broke into his Mare Island home early Monday morning and took Huskins by force while demanding a ransom. But for some reason, her boyfriend waited 11 hours to report it to police. Park said the alleged ransom for Huskins was $8,500. 
 
 How Huskins got to Huntington Beach was not made clear in Wednesday's press conference. 
 
 Huskins' uncle, Jeff Kane, said Wednesday morning he was relieved to hear his niece was safe. "Now we know where she is, that’s the most important thing, obviously, but now curiosity is kicking in, and we go, ‘what happened here, why her,’” he said. 
 
 “It all seems curious to me," Kane added. "it seems diabolical, it seems criminal, but it also seems orthodox in the crime world.” 
 
 Kanes said Huskins' dad had answered a call from an unknown number which turned out to be his daughter. "She said 'Daddy, I am safe, they let me go and I am walking to your house'," Kane said.

 Since Huskins' father was in Vallejo at the time, she went to a neighbor's house. Family in Southern California broke into tears when they heard Huskins was back. 
 
 "Excitement, overwhelmed ... I didn't know anything that was going to happen. You hear these stories all the time and you watch TV about them and you never know," cousin Natalia Kane said. "I just was happy to hear that she was alive and safe, and home." 
 
 Huskins is from Huntington Beach, and according to her Facebook page moved to Vallejo in June 2014. She is a physical therapist at Kaiser Permanente. 
 
 On Tuesday, the San Francisco Chronicle was sent an email with an audio file of a woman claiming to be Denise Huskins, who said in a brief call, “I’m kidnapped, otherwise I’m fine.” 
 
 In the short clip, she identifies herself, talks about the French Alps plane crash to establish the date and references a personal detail about herself about the first concert she saw. Her voice is calm and the clip lasts less than 10 seconds. It’s unclear who made the clip, or who emailed it to the Chronicle. 
 
 Vallejo Police, FBI Investigating Report of Woman Kidnapped for Ransom

 Police investigating the alleged kidnapping of a woman from a northern California home said late Wednesday -- hours after she was "found" more than 400 miles away -- that it was a hoax "orchestrated" with the woman's boyfriend. 
 
 Authorities had originally treated the disappearance of 29-year-old Denise Huskins as a kidnap-for-ransom case, but said late Wednesday they had been unable to locate her or any of her family members after Huskins retained an attorney and stopped cooperating with police. 
 
 Vallejo police spokesman Lt. Kenny Park said that Huskins and her boyfriend, Aaron Quinn, 30, have now become the targets of an investigation into whether they did anything illegal in reporting a random, violent abduction and a ransom request of $8,500. 
 
 "There is no evidence to support the claims that this was a stranger abduction or an abduction at all," Park said in a statement. "Given the facts that have been presented thus far, this event appears to be an orchestrated event and not a kidnapping." 
 
 Park told reporters at a news conference late Wednesday that police had doubts about Quinn's initial report of the abduction, but said they had a responsibility to investigate thoroughly and speak cautiously to the public. 
 
 "It was such an incredible story, we initially had a hard time believing it and upon further investigation we couldn't substantiate any of the things he was saying," Park said.

 Park also expressed disgust at the resources the two squandered -- saying more than 40 detectives had worked on the case -- and the fear they instilled in the community over what was reported as random violence. 
 
 "Devoting all of our resources 24 hours a day in a wild goose chase it's a tremendous loss," he said. "It's disappointing, it's disheartening. The fact that we wasted all of these resources for nothing, it's upsetting." 
 
 Huskins was found outside her father's home in Huntington Beach, Calif., some 420 miles away from Vallejo, at approximately 10:30 a.m. local time Wednesday. Her father, Mike Huskins, had traveled to Northern California to help with the search. Around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, he said Denise called him to say she had been dropped off at her mother's Huntington Beach house. No one was home, so she told him she walked the 12 blocks to his home near the beach. 
 
 "She wasn't crying at all. She just said, `Daddy, I'm OK,' " an emotional Mike Huskins told The Associated Press. 
 
 Quinn had told police that Huskins was abducted early Monday morning from Mare Island in Vallejo, about 23 miles northeast of San Francisco, according to Park. However, the spokesman said Quinn did not actually contact police until 1:55 that afternoon. 
 
 Park said Wednesday night that Quinn's waiting so long to inform them was part of what aroused suspicions. It was not clear whether police had had contact with Quinn since they decided the case was a hoax. Park said he was "free on his own" for now. 
 
 The San Francisco Chronicle obtained an audio recording -- emailed to the newspaper on Tuesday -- of a woman claiming to be Huskins. The woman calmly identifies herself as Huskins in the recording and talks about Tuesday's plane crash in the French Alps to establish the date. She also states a personal detail about herself, saying the first concert she had attended in her life featured Blink 182 and Bad Religion. The Chronicle reported that Mike Huskins had confirmed the voice on the recording as his daughter's. 
 
 The person who wrote the e-mail mentioned that she would be returned safely Wednesday, the newspaper reported. 
 
 "We will send a link to her location after she has been dropped off. She will be in good health and safe while she waits," the e-mail read. "Any advance on us or our associates will create a dangerous situation for Denise. Wait until she is recovered and then proceed how you will. We will be ready." 
 
 Fox News’ Cristina Corbin and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
– If you thought Denise Huskins' bizarre kidnapping was hard to believe, you were on to something. California police now say her disappearance from boyfriend Aaron Quinn's home in Vallejo on Monday was "an orchestrated event and not a kidnapping" and Huskins and Quinn may face charges. Officers first spoke to a cooperative Huskins at her father's apartment in Huntington Beach after she turned up yesterday. The FBI arranged a jet to bring her to North Carolina to speak with investigators, but she never showed up, CNN reports. "As of this moment, detectives have been unable to contact either Ms. Huskins or family members," police say, per the San Jose Mercury News. "Ms. Huskins has since retained an attorney and detectives are unaware of her location." Quinn's initial statement "was such an incredible story, we initially had a hard time believing it and we couldn't substantiate any of the things he was saying," Lt. Kenny Park adds, per Fox News. He says Quinn and Huskins "owe our community an apology" as police were sent on a "wild goose chase." Police say the motive isn't clear, but officers are checking Huskins' financial records; an $8,500 ransom was demanded. Huskins' uncle tells NBC4 that she called her father from an unknown number yesterday. "She said, 'Daddy, I am safe, they let me go and I am walking to your house.'" He added the case "seems curious to me," but "the most important thing, obviously," is that she's safe.
