According to the DA’s office, in 1993, Matthew Muller ordered two campers to come out of their tent near Folsom Lake.

Muller, then 16, tied up the boy and “carried the female away to sexually assault her,” the DA’s office said.

The cold case was recently revived after evidence linked Muller to the crime.

“This case is a powerful reminder that the pursuit of justice never ends,” District Attorney Thein Ho said. “Matthew Muller’s admission to the horrific kidnapping and sexual assault of a young girl in 1993 brings long-overdue justice for the victims. Thanks to the continued efforts of law enforcement, a dangerous sex offender is being held responsible for his crimes in our community.”

Muller was sentenced to 11 years to life.

That sentence is to be served consecutively to his life sentence for committing an assault to commit a sex crime in Santa Clara and a 40-year sentence relating to the 2015 case in Vallejo featured in the documentary “American Nightmare.”
