SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A story of early morning abduction, a ransom and a woman missing for days may not be what it seems. Investigators Wednesday night said it appears the reported kidnapping of Denise Huskins
was an "orchestrated event" and "not a kidnapping."
Huskins, who lived in Vallejo reportedly with her boyfriend, went missing Monday morning, launching a large-scale search effort using officers from several agencies around California.
She was found in Southern California Wednesday morning; Vallejo Police say she has retained a lawyer and has not spoken with investigators.

Woman believed held for ransom found safe
Vallejo Police say Denise Huskins spoke briefly with an officer from the Huntington Beach Police Department after she was located, and reportedly there was an indication she would talk to investigators.
Vallejo and FBI officers arranged for a jet to bring Huskins from Huntington Beach to Northern California for an interview, and to return home.
PRESS RELEASE: Vallejo Police release statement
"As of this moment, detectives have been unable to contact either Ms. Huskins or family members" a press release from the Vallejo Police Department stated.
Huskins was reported missing Monday afternoon by her boyfriend, who told police she had been taken against her will from their Vallejo home sometime early in the morning.
Investigators are still looking into what exactly happened and have not said if Huskins or her boyfriend committed any crime.
