Held in captivity for two weeks, the woman’s head had been shaved and one of her fingers burned by lye. By the time she had managed to escape, she had seven broken ribs, two black eyes and bruises on her wrists and ankles.

Court and jail records show that the woman’s boyfriend, Benjamin Obadiah Foster, now faces charges of first-degree kidnapping, coercion with force, assault with a deadly weapon and domestic battery.

At the time of the alleged attacks and kidnapping, between Sept. 16 and Oct. 2, when the woman escaped, Foster had been been free on a suspended jail sentence in connection with a 2018 case for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

In addition to the suspended sentence, Foster was awaiting trial in Clark County District Court in another 2018 case involving domestic violence by strangulation. It was unclear whether the victim in that case also was his girlfriend.

According to the 33-year-old suspect’s arrest report in the recent case, he had held his girlfriend of two years, whose name is redacted in the report, against her will inside her northwest Las Vegas apartment after becoming paranoid that she was having him followed.

“Foster also told her that she had cameras hiding all inside the residence that watch him to include the microwave,” the report states. “Foster then became very physical with her.”

Over the next two weeks, according to the report, Foster — at times armed with a knife and other times armed with what the woman described as a small brown handgun — threatened to kill her.

She told police she was beaten, forced to eat lye, choked to the point of unconsciousness and bound at the wrists and ankles with a combination of zip ties and duct tape. Her hands at times went numb, she said, from her wrists being bound so tightly.

The woman also told police after her escape that half of her head was shaved one day during her captivity and the other half was shaved the next day.

What was she expecting dating this guy.

A man accused of torturing a woman he held captive in Oregon, and who was convicted in Nevada of keeping another woman in captivity, is using dating apps to find people who can help him avoid the police or to find new victims, authorities said Friday.

Benjamin Obadiah Foster, 36, is the subject of an intensive, round-the-clock search by police after a woman was found unconscious, bound and near death in Grants Pass, Oregon, on Tuesday. She was hospitalized in critical condition.

On Thursday night, Grants Pass police, sheriff’s deputies, an Oregon State Police SWAT team and federal agents raided a property in the unincorporated community of Wolf Creek, where they seized Foster’s car and arrested a 68-year-old woman for hindering prosecution.

Foster managed to escape. Authorities provided no other details, but the area, right off Interstate 5, is thickly forested and mountainous.

The arrested woman, Tina Marie Jones, had followed Foster in a vehicle earlier Thursday as he drove to a remote location in Wolf Creek then intentionally drove his 2008 Nissan Sentra over an embankment, according to court documents. Jones then gave Foster a ride to the property that was raided Thursday night and where Foster had been hiding while police searched for him, according to Josephine County Circuit Court records.

Grants Pass police said Foster “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 Chief Warren Hensman told AP on Thursday 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.


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.

She escaped when Foster let her out of his sight during a trip together to a grocery store and gas station.
 
Dead.


"Benjamin Foster, 36, a convicted felon who was wanted in the recent kidnapping, torture and attempted murder of a woman, is now dead following an hours-long standoff with police.

Foster was initially found Tuesday afternoon in a crawl space under a home and refused to surrender himself to officers of the Grants Pass Police Department and other departments for several hours. SWAT and a Crisis Negotiation team were on the scene.

He was placed into custody Tuesday evening after a self-inflicted gunshot wound... "

" Foster was in critical condition at the time of his arrest and was subsequently transported to [and died at] the hospital."


 
I like waking up to good news. Since he was just going to keep getting let out until he killed one of those women who suffered from absolutely terrible taste in men.
