Crime
A man suspected of torturing a woman and holding her captive in Oregon is using dating apps to target new victims or to lure individuals into helping him evade police, authorities said Friday.
Benjamin Obadiah Foster, 36, is the subject of an intensive, round-the-clock search by police after a woman was found bound and "severely beaten into unconsciousness" on Jan. 24 in Grants Pass, Oregon. She was hospitalized in critical condition.
On Thursday, Grants Pass police, county officers, an Oregon State Police SWAT team, and assisting federal agents launched a manhunt and raided a property in Wolf Creek – an unincorporated community about 20 miles north of Grants Pass – in an effort to arrest Foster for attempted murder.
"Following a lengthy manhunt, Foster evaded capture and likely received assistance in fleeing the area," Grants Pass police said Friday.

During the search, authorities seized Foster's car and arrested a 68-year-old woman, identified as Tina Marie Jones, for hindering prosecution.
According to court documents, Foster had driven to a remote location in Wolf Creek and intentionally drove his vehicle over an embankment. Jones then drove Foster to the property that was raided Thursday where Foster had been hiding.

Grants Pass police have advised people to be "extra safe while this predator is still at large" and warned that those who assist Foster with his escape will face potential prosecution.
Police offered a $2,500 reward on Friday for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of Foster.
Authorities said in an update Sunday that Foster is wanted for attempted murder, kidnapping, and assault. They also believe that Foster may attempt to change his appearance and is known to be armed, making him "extremely dangerous."

Foster was also previously convicted of holding a woman captive in Nevada.
Grants Pass Police Chief Warren Hensman told The Associated Press last week that it is “extremely troubling” that Foster was out and able to prey on other women instead of still being behind bars for the Nevada crimes.
Foster initially faced the potential of decades in prison when he was charged with five felonies after his arrest in holding his then-girlfriend captive in her Las Vegas apartment for two weeks in 2019, according to AP.
But in 2021, Foster was able to reach a deal with local prosecutors and plead guilty to one felony count of battery and a misdemeanor count of battery constituting domestic violence, AP reported. Foster was sentenced to up to 2½ years in a Nevada prison.
William Quenga, a spokesperson for the Nevada prison system, told AP that Foster arrived at a prison intake facility on Oct. 18, 2021 but was released the same day because the judge had factored in the 729 days he had spent in jail awaiting trial. Foster had served his minimum sentence behind bars but was a half-year from serving the maximum time given by the judge.
According to court records, Foster was out of custody at the time on a suspended jail sentence for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.
He was also awaiting trial in another 2018 case involving domestic violence, according to court records. But Foster’s plea deal with prosecutors in 2021 settled the domestic violence case, according to a copy of the agreement, and he was “sentenced to credit for time served.”

This past Saturday, a man called 911 to report that he had been kidnapped and robbed by someone he met on a dating app.
The 30-year-old victim told deputies that he had met a woman on Plenty of Fish and drove to an apartment complex in Parkland to meet her in person. He said he was in her apartment for about five minutes when a man appeared and pointed a gun at him. The male suspect ordered the victim to remove his clothes and give the suspect his money. The female suspect then took photos of the victim.
The suspects ordered the victim to unlock his cell phone and then instructed him to transfer $6,000 to their account using an app. The transaction failed because it was flagged as fraudulent. The suspects made the victim attempt numerous other transactions via various apps and even posed as the victim over the phone to try to get an account unlocked.
The victim was finally released after three hours. The suspects threatened to send the nude photos to everyone in the victim’s contact list if he told anyone what happened.
Deputies worked with the victim to try to identify the suspects using social media apps and other means.
The following day, deputies were dispatched to the same apartment for a domestic violence assault. When they arrived, they recognized the male suspect from the robbery. As deputies attempted to handcuff him, the suspect reached for a gun inside his pocket. Deputies acted quickly and were able to prevent him from drawing the weapon. The 22-year-old suspect was arrested and placed in the back of a patrol vehicle.
According to the patrol car’s rear-facing camera, the suspect moved his handcuffs to the front of his body and broke the interior door panel in an attempt to escape. He also broke the top of the seatbelt fastener and used it as a tool to aid in his escape efforts. The car had to be taken out of service until repairs can be made.
Prosecutors charged the male suspect with robbery in the first degree, kidnapping in the first degree, extortion in the first degree, unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree, and malicious mischief in the first degree. His bail was set at $125,000.
The male suspect has multiple prior felony convictions, including a juvenile conviction for robbery in the first degree, and convictions for assault in the second degree and residential burglary as an adult. He also has a prior conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm and is currently on supervision with the Department of Corrections.
The 19-year-old female suspect was charged with robbery in the first degree, kidnapping in the first degree, and extortion in the first degree. Her bail was set at $50,000.
Never and I repeat, Never go to a persons home on a first date!!
From Washington State Pierce County Sheriffs Office:
We encourage everyone to review our online dating safety tips to help lessen your chance of becoming a victim. We also encourage parents to talk to their kids about the dangers of meeting people online. Always do your research and trust your instinct.
Hello friends,
Today I want to talk about dating during and after Covid 19. Do you need to be concerned about this while online dating? Regardless of your opinions about Covid 19, it has now finally been acknowledged that natural immunity is stronger and even better than getting a vaccine.
What about your Online Dating Profile? Do you need to mention anything about Covid 19? Here is my opinion on the subject.
If you have had Covid 19, with or without a vaccine, there is always a chance of getting it again. I would treat it like the flu or an STD.
I do not think you need to call it out in your Online Profile unless you are very sensitive and only want to be around vaccinated people. With that being said, there is about a 100% chance you will be around someone who is positive at any time if you leave your home for any reason. I think you should ask yourself if you had the flu or a cold, would you put that on your online profile? My guess is NO because I have never seen anyone call that out on their online dating profile. So, why would you call out anything about Covid 19 on your profile?
This is something you would discuss on the phone before you actually meet someone because it is a hot topic of conversation among everyone these days. This is what I do recommend you put on your Online Profile though:
• Put your religious and political affiliation on your profile, my advice would be in the first or second sentence. By doing this, you are
weeding out anyone that you may not have the same mindset. This is highly important and by doing this, a lot of your concerns will be
answered because you should only attract people like yourself.
• Ignore the hate mail you will get, and you will get some. Life is too short to banter about these things that are important to you.
This my friends will set you off on the right way to meeting someone you could truly fall in love with.
I would love to hear your comments and concerns on this topic so please contact me at Linda@Lindasdatelist.com
XOXO,
Linda
