SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A woman who was held captive and tortured in Oregon remains in critical condition as police chase dozens of tips on the whereabouts of the felon charged in the attack. Less than two years ago, he was convicted in Nevada of keeping another woman in captivity. The victim was found unconscious and bound in Grants Pass, Oregon, on Jan. 24. She was hospitalized in critical condition and has not regained consciousness. Benjamin Obadiah Foster narrowly eluded a police raid Thursday in the nearby unincorporated community of Wolf Creek, Oregon, and police say he may have changed his appearance by shaving his beard and hair or changing his hair color.
