Oregon police warned the public on Jan. 27 that a man suspected of kidnapping and torturing a woman he held captive in Oregon is actively using dating apps to either find people who can help him avoid capture or find new victims.

Benjamin Obadiah Foster, 36, of Wolf Creek, is wanted by police for kidnapping, attempted murder, and assault after a woman was found bound and “severely beaten into unconsciousness” in Grants Pass, Oregon, on Jan. 24. She was hospitalized in critical condition.
