Oregon State Police, Capt. Kyle Kennedy, right, speaks to reporters during a news conference at Grants Pass police headquarters on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023, in Grants Pass, Ore. Kennedy, and Grants Pass Police Chief Warren Hensman, left, recounted the series of events in recent days that led to an armed standoff with a suspect in a violent kidnapping in Oregon who died after shooting himself, authorities said. Police now believe he also murdered two people in Sunny Valley, Ore. SALEM, Ore.
Authorities in Grants Pass say none of this would have happened if authorities in Nevada hadn't been so quick just over a year ago to release Foster from prison, where he was serving time for holding his then-girlfriend in Las Vegas captive for two weeks and torturing her. And a Grants Pass woman would not now be in a hospital, comatose and in critical condition, they say.
The case rattled the town of 40,000, which has seen high unemployment and poverty rates and public safety layoffs with the decline of the timber industry. Law enforcement authorities said they were bringing all their resources to bear to find Foster. Then, a major break in the case. One of the tips came from a cab company saying a man had requested a taxi from Sunny Valley, just south of Wolf Creek, Hensman said Wednesday.
Several items were taken from the house, including the men's dog. On Tuesday, Foster was spotted in Grants Pass — with the dog. Police rushed to the neighborhood, the same one where Foster's girlfriend had been found.

Manhunt underway for Oregon man accused of torturing woman: PoliceA manhunt is underway in Oregon for a man accused of torturing a woman who authorities believe uses dating apps to find victims or people to help him evade police. This might be the most poorly written headline I’ve ever read. Perfect example of why leftist proposed gun laws should be ignored. His name should be Bullet Trap. You kidding me? These are exactly the kind of guys women love. They love the disheveled look. The long hair, beard, tattoos and if he’s got a truck that’s 20ft tall that’s as loud as a train well then you’re guaranteed to get any woman you want no matter how you treat them.
