A man accused of kidnapping and torturing a woman for days before fleeing into a forested area of southwest Oregon has been active on dating apps to avoid capture by police or potentially find more victims, authorities warn.
Benjamin Obadiah Foster, 36, may have changed his appearance by shaving and dyeing his hair and has taken to apps where he can lure women into helping him escape or becoming his next victim, the Grants Pass Police Department said this weekend as authorities looked for the man.
About two years ago, Foster was released from prison in Nevada where he had been charged with holding another woman captive for weeks and convicted on lesser charges, the Associated Press Police think the woman was initially following Foster in another vehicle when he drove his car over an embankment. She then gave him a ride to the property, the AP reported. It’s unclear whether Jones and Foster met through a dating app. Grants Pass police declined a request for an interview about the case on Sunday.Foster faces multiple charges in the Oregon attack, including attempted murder, kidnapping and assault, according to court records.
