STOP US IF you’ve heard this before, but there’s a true crime docuseries on Netflix that has tongues wagging.

But sometimes, a series will sneak through that offers more than titillation, cheap thrills, and hyperventilating aesthetics.

It’s one of those stories you might remember from when it actually unfolded.

His story was admittedly strange: soft-spoken, almost polite kidnappers wearing wetsuits made him drink a sedative, warned him not to call the cops, and mentioned a paltry ransom sum of $15,000. Said cops, whom Quinn eventually called, made it clear they thought Quinn was lying.
Then things got weird...............
