A man with a long rap sheet for torturing women is using dating apps both to lure new victims and evade capture, authorities in northwestern Oregon warned on Jan 29.

Police have been seeking Benjamin Obadiah Foster, 36, since they found an unconscious, bound woman in Grants Pass last Tuesday. Near death, she was hospitalised in critical condition.
