Oregon man who police say kidnapped a woman and beat her unconscious might also be looking for more potential victims on dating apps, police say


(CNN) Authorities in southwestern Oregon are warning that a man suspected of kidnapping a woman and beating her unconscious may now be using dating apps to evade capture or find potential new victims, according to police.

The suspect, 36-year-old Benjamin Obadiah Foster, has so far evaded capture but he appears active on online dating services, the Grants Pass Police Department said in a statement Friday.

“The investigation has revealed that the suspect is actively using online dating applications to contact unsuspecting individuals who may be lured into assisting with the suspect’s escape or potentially as additional victims,” Grants Pass Police said.

The search for Foster began Tuesday after officers found a woman who had been bound and severely beaten into unconsciousness, Grants Pass Police said. She was taken to a hospital in critical condition and is being guarded while the suspect remains at large, police said.

The man fled the scene before officers arrived, but investigators identified Foster as the suspect and asked members of the public to call 911 immediately if they see him, warning he “should be considered extremely dangerous.” .............(more)

In 2019, before moving to Oregon, Foster held his then-girlfriend captive inside her Las Vegas apartment for two weeks. He initially was charged with five felonies, including assault and battery, and faced decades in prison upon conviction. But in August 2021, Foster reached a deal with Clark County prosecutors that allowed him to plead guilty to one felony count of battery and a misdemeanor count of battery constituting domestic violence.

A judge sentenced him to up to 2 1/2 years in a Nevada prison. The 729 days he had spent in jail awaiting trial were factored into his punishment, leaving Foster with fewer than 200 days to serve in state custody.

Foster’s girlfriend suffered seven broken ribs, two black eyes and injuries from being bound at the wrists and ankles with zip ties and duct tape during her two-week captivity, according to a Las Vegas police report.


The woman also told police she was forced to eat lye and was choked to the point of unconsciousness.

9. Two week captivity of a person should result in longer time in jail..just to protect the public

[ShazzieB]

13. Hell yes, it should.

[lostnfound]

19. The choking is a red flag, next step is often murder.

And 7 broken ribs

[progressoid]

12. There are no words for this.

[oldsoftie]

15. THIS is the kind of shit that pisses people off. You dont "deal" with people like this

That prosecutor should be thrown out

[Iggo]

6. Ugh! Off topic.

Always take “potential” out and see if it still says what you’re trying to say.

[chowder66]

7. He should have been in prison for a lot longer for his past crimes.

10. There's guy here in Wisconsin like this, too.

Uses dating apps, beats up women, gives them date rape drugs, two women may have died from the drugs.

16. Another unsavory character.

He's 52 years old, huh? Good- when they find him guilty he can serve time until his dying day. Which hopefully wouldn't take long doing a life in prison sentence.

There are some really sick SOBs out there. Folks who use the internet for dating and meeting people, please be extra careful.

[Sky Jewels]

11. All dating apps should plaster this POS's face on their sites with a warning.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

17. Great idea!

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

14. when found, cops will arrest him nice and softly.
