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.

Authorities 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 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 was initially charged with five felonies and decades of prison time after he was arrested for holding his then-girlfriend captive in her Las Vegas apartment for two weeks in 2019, according to AP.
