00:00:00I'm not so sure.
00:00:09All set?
00:00:10Okay.
00:00:13Okay, let's go. Rolling.
00:00:14Okay.
00:00:15Okay.
00:00:16Okay.
00:00:18Yeah, it's that up?
00:00:20Huh.
00:00:21So, Ms. Ann, you wanted to listen to your recording on 911, right?
00:00:31Yes.
00:00:33Just press the play button and it will start.
00:00:39911, what is your emergency?
00:00:41My friend called and said that he might have to go to the hospital and then the phone died.
00:00:45And now I'm going to him.
00:00:49Is he conscious?
00:00:51Yes, he was conscious at that time, but now he's not answering the phone.
00:00:54What's his name?
00:00:55His name is Justine Siemens.
00:00:57How old is she?
00:00:58Thirty-nine.
00:01:00We've been friends for the last ten years.
00:01:07On Tuesday night, my mom called me and said that Justine had called.
00:01:13She might have to go to the hospital. She's not feeling well.
00:01:18Okay, you go and see.
00:01:20I'll go and see. I've just arrived. I'm just parking the car.
00:01:25Hold on, I'll just go inside and see what's going on.
00:01:29I ran to her door. The main door was never locked, but it was that day.
00:01:34Justine, are you in there?
00:01:37Can you hear anything from inside?
00:01:38No, nothing.
00:01:40Justine, are you in there?
00:01:43Are you in there right now?
00:01:44I can't go inside.
00:01:45Ma'am?
00:01:46So I went to the back door and I heard...
00:01:50Justine!
00:01:51Are you okay?
00:01:52Oh my God, she's screaming.
00:01:53After hearing her first scream, I heard a thud.
00:01:57I felt like she was hitting the wall so that I could get in quickly.
00:02:02I tried to open the door, but it didn't open.
00:02:05And she screamed again and I heard a loud thud.
00:02:09I've never heard such a heart-rending scream in my life.
00:02:13Ambulance is coming, honey.
00:02:16So I ran to the other side of the house to see if I could find a way in.
00:02:22I'm coming.
00:02:23They're coming, okay?
00:02:24Okay.
00:02:25And suddenly I saw that the garage door was open, so I said,
00:02:29What's this?
00:02:30And why didn't I see it before?
00:02:33Justine!
00:02:34So I ran to her house and I saw Ben Foster coming out.
00:02:39And I said, What's going on here?
00:02:41You've gone inside. She's had a heart attack.
00:02:44Oh, really?
00:02:45He's saying he's had a heart attack.
00:02:48So tell me, why haven't you called the ambulance yet?
00:02:51He said, you go inside and get him.
00:02:53I'll get the car out by then.
00:02:55Then we'll take him to the hospital.
00:02:57Okay, what's going on there now?
00:02:59The man who was here, he took the car and left.
00:03:01Justine!
00:03:02And I ran inside and as soon as I went inside, I saw Justine.
00:03:07Justine, I'm here, baby.
00:03:10I'm here.
00:03:11Did he hit you?
00:03:13He's got a rope around his neck.
00:03:16Oh, my God.
00:03:18There are bruises on his body.
00:03:20Justine!
00:03:21Oh, my God, honey.
00:03:22He's coming.
00:03:24It was very bad there.
00:03:26And she couldn't even move.
00:03:28Oh, my God.
00:03:30It's definitely blood.
00:03:32Oh, God.
00:03:33Hurry up.
00:03:34Please hurry up.
00:03:36I'm here, honey.
00:03:38What's all this?
00:03:43Let's go.
00:03:46Let's go.
00:03:49Let's go.
00:04:07Copy.
00:04:08He was working as a lieutenant.
00:04:12I got a call at 7 a.m.
00:04:14The officers got in the car and left to go that way.
00:04:19Liz, hurry up.
00:04:20He'll be there in a minute, okay?
00:04:21This psycho has already done this to a girl in Vegas.
00:04:25Do you know who he is?
00:04:26Yes, I know him.
00:04:27He brutally kills girls.
00:04:29Okay.
00:04:30Please tell me the truth.
00:04:32Is he conscious right now?
00:04:34No.
00:04:36Hello?
00:04:38Come here.
00:04:39We're here.
00:04:40Please come here.
00:04:41Who else is at home?
00:04:42Just him.
00:04:43Okay.
00:04:44Is he okay?
00:04:45No.
00:04:46He's got a rope around his neck.
00:04:47Okay.
00:04:48Please come this way.
00:04:49What's his name?
00:04:50Justine.
00:04:51Send the medical team outside.
00:04:52Okay.
00:04:53I've been in the law enforcement department
00:04:55for the last 33 years.
00:04:56And I've never seen so many scary and hideous things
00:05:01in my entire career.
00:05:04It's obvious that Justine was tortured
00:05:08and brutally killed.
00:05:10She's a 30-year-old woman without any clothes.
00:05:13And she was brutally killed on her face.
00:05:18I'm currently working as a detective
00:05:20in the investigation division
00:05:22of the Grants Pass Police Department.
00:05:24Pay special attention to the evidence.
00:05:26The victim, Justine, was unconscious.
00:05:29She couldn't answer any questions.
00:05:31They took her to the hospital in Manfred.
00:05:33What was the name of the crazy man
00:05:35Justine was dating?
00:05:38Benjamin what?
00:05:39Okay, easy.
00:05:40Benjamin Obagayo Foster.
00:05:44We found out about the suspect at the same time.
00:05:47And his name was Ben Foster.
00:05:49Are they girlfriend and boyfriend?
00:05:51Yes.
00:05:52How long have they been dating?
00:05:53A few months.
00:05:56What did he wear?
00:05:57I don't remember.
00:05:58He just had a weird ponytail.
00:06:00That's all I saw.
00:06:01I remember because I met him a few days ago.
00:06:03Angela told him everything
00:06:05and his face was revealed.
00:06:08He was arrested in Las Vegas
00:06:10for assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
00:06:12He said the name is the same as he said.
00:06:14Because he has already checked the name.
00:06:16A name was revealed in Clark County's criminal record.
00:06:19Benjamin Foster.
00:06:20Very good.
00:06:21We found out that Benjamin Foster
00:06:23was involved in many incidents in Las Vegas.
00:06:27And we found many similarities
00:06:29with the incidents in Grants Pass.
00:06:34Grants Pass is a small city.
00:06:36Most of the time,
00:06:37you have to deal with small crimes
00:06:39like theft.
00:06:40I mean, low-level crimes.
00:06:44This kind of incident
00:06:46should not happen in Grants Pass, Oregon.
00:06:49I was worried.
00:06:51We were worried about the society.
00:06:53We know that this city
00:06:55is full of criminals.
00:06:57We know that this man
00:06:59should be put behind bars at any cost.
00:07:01What if he does this to someone else?
00:07:15There was a time when I felt
00:07:17that there is no one better than Ben for me.
00:07:19Then it is very difficult to tell
00:07:21what you feel
00:07:23when you know that
00:07:25the person you love
00:07:27wants to kill you.
00:07:37I met Ben in the summer of 2012.
00:07:40We were working
00:07:42in a strip hotel in Las Vegas.
00:07:46He was the bar assistant
00:07:48and I was the server.
00:07:50He was very cute,
00:07:52very athletic.
00:07:54His eyes were a little blue
00:07:56and his hair was black.
00:07:58He was very smart
00:08:00and I liked that about him.
00:08:02I don't know if I wanted
00:08:04to get into a relationship
00:08:06or not,
00:08:08but in the end,
00:08:10we got into a relationship.
00:08:12Before living together,
00:08:14we dated each other
00:08:16for about a year.
00:08:18Ben was very cute.
00:08:20He used to say,
00:08:22Hey, I hope you have a good day today.
00:08:24I love you.
00:08:26Our relationship was
00:08:28normal like any other relationship.
00:08:30We would go on dinner dates,
00:08:32go to Disneyland
00:08:34and spend time with our friends.
00:08:36But Ben didn't like
00:08:38to be in the middle of people.
00:08:40He liked to be alone.
00:08:42He lived in himself.
00:08:47I think that
00:08:50Ben was jealous.
00:08:54I let my ex stay at my house
00:08:56because he was not from here.
00:08:59But Ben was very upset
00:09:01about the fact
00:09:03that I was still helping my ex.
00:09:08He started asking
00:09:10a lot of questions.
00:09:12He didn't shout at me,
00:09:14but often his tone
00:09:16was full of anger.
00:09:18He didn't talk to others like that.
00:09:20And I could understand
00:09:22that he was upset with me.
00:09:26I couldn't understand
00:09:28the reason for his anger.
00:09:30My ex was in a relationship
00:09:32with someone else
00:09:34and they were engaged.
00:09:36Now I think
00:09:38that Ben got upset
00:09:40and did something
00:09:42that I found out later.
00:09:44I found out
00:09:46that he was meeting
00:09:48his ex-girlfriend
00:09:50behind my back.
00:09:55Ben was from Oregon
00:09:57and he was an outdoor person.
00:10:01He was very interested
00:10:03in guns.
00:10:05He was interested
00:10:07in knives, knives
00:10:09and martial arts.
00:10:11Every week he would buy
00:10:13new knives and guns.
00:10:15He was obsessed
00:10:17with these things.
00:10:19He had a very strange habit.
00:10:21He would practice
00:10:23cutting my throat
00:10:25with those knives
00:10:27in his games.
00:10:29At that time
00:10:31I never felt
00:10:33any danger from all this.
00:10:35But when I think about it today,
00:10:37it seems that
00:10:39there was something else
00:10:41behind his game.
00:10:45One afternoon
00:10:47Ben and I were
00:10:49in a meaningless argument.
00:10:51I remember
00:10:53he was shouting a lot
00:10:55and he was very angry.
00:10:58Now as I was there
00:11:00I made him even more angry
00:11:02and I lied to him
00:11:04that I had thrown
00:11:06his new gun.
00:11:08In his anger
00:11:10he pushed me down
00:11:12and raised his hand
00:11:14and he pulled me
00:11:16and slapped me hard.
00:11:18He was blinded
00:11:20and I could see it in his eyes.
00:11:22The Ben whom I loved
00:11:24was not him at all.
00:11:26He was someone else,
00:11:28a stranger.
00:11:30I was in shock.
00:11:32I was very scared.
00:11:34I controlled myself
00:11:36and took the car keys
00:11:38and left.
00:11:40I decided to call the police.
00:11:44I gave my statement
00:11:46to the police
00:11:48and the police came to my house.
00:11:50They handcuffed Ben
00:11:52and put him in jail.
00:12:07A few months
00:12:09after the arrest
00:12:11Ben was released
00:12:14from the jail
00:12:16and he had become
00:12:18my ex-boyfriend
00:12:20and I was unaware
00:12:22that he was keeping an eye on me.
00:12:31That afternoon
00:12:33it was raining heavily
00:12:35and I was going to watch
00:12:37a football game
00:12:39with a few friends
00:12:41but before that
00:12:43I had to buy a jacket.
00:12:45I parked the car
00:12:47outside the house
00:12:49that Ben and I shared
00:12:51and I saw that he was
00:12:53standing next to his car.
00:12:55He was shouting
00:12:57and abusing
00:12:59and punching my car.
00:13:01He was asking me to unlock
00:13:03the car's door
00:13:05and to come out.
00:13:07I told him to leave.
00:13:09Ben sat in his car
00:13:11and left.
00:13:13I stayed there
00:13:15for 15 minutes
00:13:17and went inside the house.
00:13:19As soon as I
00:13:21reached the closet
00:13:23Ben pulled me
00:13:25with his hair
00:13:27and threw me on the floor.
00:13:29I didn't realise
00:13:31when Ben came inside the house.
00:13:33I was lying on the floor
00:13:35and he started pulling me.
00:13:37He hit my face
00:13:39and I put my hand in the middle
00:13:41and my little finger
00:13:43was cut off
00:13:45and my hair was left.
00:13:47I was bleeding a lot
00:13:49and I was thinking
00:13:51that this might be the last day
00:13:53of my life.
00:13:56He dragged me
00:13:58to the garage
00:14:00and threw me on the floor.
00:14:02I was completely
00:14:04in his clutches
00:14:06and he suddenly got up
00:14:09and I thought
00:14:11that this is the only chance
00:14:13that I can run away from him.
00:14:15I got up as soon as I could
00:14:17and opened the garage door.
00:14:21I rushed out
00:14:23like an army man.
00:14:27I was bleeding a lot
00:14:29and I ran to the leasing office
00:14:31and he called the police.
00:14:33As soon as the police arrived
00:14:35she went inside the house
00:14:37to talk to Ben.
00:14:39In the meantime
00:14:41Ben changed the whole story.
00:14:43He hit his own face
00:14:45and told the police
00:14:47that I had hit his face.
00:14:51Then the police came
00:14:53to the leasing office
00:14:55and handcuffed me.
00:14:57At that time
00:14:59the police didn't want
00:15:01to listen to my story.
00:15:03I couldn't understand anything.
00:15:05I was addicted
00:15:07to my own blood
00:15:09and I was injured
00:15:11in my own defense.
00:15:13I was wondering
00:15:15how they could handcuff me
00:15:17and take me to jail.
00:15:19To be honest
00:15:21that day was
00:15:23the worst day of my life.
00:15:25After saving my life
00:15:27I spent 18 hours
00:15:29in jail.
00:15:31The officers
00:15:33didn't check Ben's records.
00:15:35They didn't know
00:15:37that Ben had already
00:15:39been arrested
00:15:41to kill me.
00:15:43But the judge
00:15:45inquired a little more
00:15:47and he told the DA
00:15:49that Ben had already
00:15:51been arrested
00:15:54to kill me.
00:15:56After that
00:15:58he acquitted me
00:16:00of the domestic charges
00:16:02that I was charged with.
00:16:07After coming out
00:16:09of jail
00:16:11I came home
00:16:13and I saw
00:16:15that he had robbed everything.
00:16:19He took all my clothes
00:16:21and there was not a single one.
00:16:23Not even my undergarments.
00:16:25My personal belongings
00:16:27like my birth certificate
00:16:29and my social security card.
00:16:31He took everything with him.
00:16:37Come baby.
00:16:39Come.
00:16:41Come.
00:16:45Her name is Maya.
00:16:47She is a little Shih Tzu
00:16:49and she is very cute and stylish.
00:16:53Ben liked my dog a lot.
00:16:57He spent more time with Maya
00:16:59than with me.
00:17:05The one thing
00:17:07that won my heart
00:17:09and took me closer to him
00:17:11was the way
00:17:13he took care of my dog.
00:17:16When she comes close
00:17:18I will throw her away.
00:17:20There is nothing to bite.
00:17:23He would bring
00:17:25a lot of cute gifts for her.
00:17:27Backpacks, a lot of cute things.
00:17:29And he took a lot of care of Maya
00:17:31and he loved her a lot.
00:17:36I met Benjamin
00:17:38when I started learning Krav Maga.
00:17:40Krav Maga is a martial art.
00:17:42It is a mix of martial arts.
00:17:44It is not as fancy as Kung Fu
00:17:46but it is very violent.
00:17:48Ben was from a very good family.
00:17:50He wanted to work in law enforcement.
00:17:52He never took drugs.
00:17:54He would sometimes drink alcohol.
00:17:56He seemed to be a very kind person.
00:17:58We were friends for about a month.
00:18:00After that,
00:18:02we got a little closer.
00:18:04But we never had
00:18:06a girlfriend-boyfriend relationship.
00:18:08Although we used to meet a lot.
00:18:10I never had
00:18:12that kind of relationship
00:18:14with Ben.
00:18:16I didn't want
00:18:18that kind of relationship
00:18:20and neither did he.
00:18:22But I knew he met other girls
00:18:24and I never put any pressure
00:18:26on him to have a relationship.
00:18:28So I would meet him a few times a week
00:18:30and sometimes not at all.
00:18:32But whenever he would come,
00:18:34his attention would be elsewhere.
00:18:36I mean, he was physically there
00:18:38but something else was going on
00:18:40in his mind.
00:18:42And I thought
00:18:45and it turned out to be true.
00:18:52In December 2017,
00:18:54I got a text message from Ben.
00:18:56All of a sudden,
00:18:58he started saying something new.
00:19:00That he was going for therapy
00:19:02and he was trying
00:19:04to talk to the people
00:19:06he has hurt
00:19:08and make a compromise.
00:19:10He just wanted to sit face to face
00:19:12and finish everything.
00:19:15We met in a restaurant
00:19:17and he said
00:19:19that he was ashamed of
00:19:21whatever he did.
00:19:23He said he loved me a lot
00:19:25and it felt like
00:19:27he was really sorry.
00:19:29I was convinced
00:19:31that he really wanted to change.
00:19:33I felt bad for him.
00:19:35I wanted to help him
00:19:37as a friend.
00:19:39It felt like Stockholm Syndrome.
00:19:41I mean, you feel bad
00:19:43for him
00:19:45which is really strange.
00:19:49We started talking
00:19:51on text messages
00:19:53and we spent time together again.
00:20:02It was Christmas Eve
00:20:04and Ben was sitting
00:20:06in my living room
00:20:08and I had my cell phone
00:20:10on the table.
00:20:12I went to change
00:20:14in the other room
00:20:16and when I came back
00:20:18I didn't see Ben
00:20:20sitting on the couch.
00:20:22All of a sudden,
00:20:24he came into the kitchen
00:20:26and started pulling my hand
00:20:28towards him.
00:20:30Everything happened
00:20:32very quickly
00:20:34but I knew that
00:20:36I had made a big mistake.
00:20:38He threw me on the couch
00:20:40and kept strangling me
00:20:42until I passed out.
00:20:47When I came to my senses,
00:20:49I saw him walking
00:20:51and punching the walls.
00:20:53I got up
00:20:55and ran towards the back door.
00:20:59Then I jumped down
00:21:01from the balcony on the first floor.
00:21:03I stopped the first car
00:21:05to help him.
00:21:07There was a lady
00:21:10who helped me
00:21:12and she was very nice.
00:21:14If I'm alive today,
00:21:16it's because of her.
00:21:18911 emergency.
00:21:20Police, my ex-boyfriend
00:21:22has attacked me.
00:21:24I'm in a stranger's car
00:21:26and I don't even have shoes on my feet.
00:21:28What did he do?
00:21:30He pulled me and strangled me.
00:21:32He threw me on the ground.
00:21:34I'm hurt and I have some deep wounds
00:21:36that are bleeding.
00:21:38It's the first time
00:21:40that something like this
00:21:42has happened to me.
00:21:44Then the police came.
00:21:46An officer put his hand on my shoulder
00:21:48and told me
00:21:50that I should never meet this man again.
00:21:52He could have snatched me
00:21:54from your family a day before Christmas.
00:21:56He said,
00:21:58nothing is more important than life.
00:22:04Ben went to jail again
00:22:06and the state charged him.
00:22:13There was a case against Ben
00:22:15but I didn't see
00:22:17anything like that happening.
00:22:19Not at all.
00:22:21After that day,
00:22:23I used to turn around
00:22:25and look at him again and again.
00:22:27I used to wonder
00:22:29if Ben was there.
00:22:31There was always a fear in my mind
00:22:33that if Ben gets another chance
00:22:35he'll come back
00:22:37to finish his unfinished work.
00:22:45One year after meeting Ben,
00:22:47a lot of things happened to him.
00:22:49One of them was
00:22:51losing his job.
00:22:53He couldn't pay the rent
00:22:55for a long time
00:22:57and in the end,
00:22:59he started living with me.
00:23:01When he came to live with me,
00:23:04it had been a year and a half
00:23:06since we met.
00:23:08There was nothing serious
00:23:10between us.
00:23:12He just needed help
00:23:14and I helped him.
00:23:16We spent some time together
00:23:18and everything
00:23:21started getting a little weird.
00:23:26He was always sick
00:23:29and depressed.
00:23:31He couldn't get a job
00:23:33and I couldn't get up.
00:23:36I used to ask him
00:23:38what his plan was
00:23:40and what he wanted to do.
00:23:42There's no problem in helping you
00:23:44but I can't do it all the time.
00:23:51One day,
00:23:53I was trying to make him understand
00:23:55and he suddenly came from behind
00:23:57and threw me on the ground.
00:24:03I had never thought of that.
00:24:06We weren't even arguing.
00:24:08I was shocked.
00:24:10It was the first time
00:24:12he hit me.
00:24:15And then he started
00:24:17behaving very strangely.
00:24:20He said people were following him.
00:24:22He really thought
00:24:24people were coming to kill him.
00:24:26And I got scared.
00:24:28This madness didn't stop here
00:24:30but started increasing
00:24:32every day.
00:24:37By September,
00:24:39Ben had already attacked me many times.
00:24:41I didn't know
00:24:43what was going to happen next.
00:24:45His every attack was more dangerous
00:24:47and painful than the last one.
00:24:49He couldn't control his mind
00:24:51and I didn't know
00:24:53what to do,
00:24:55how to get away from him
00:24:57or get him out of the house.
00:24:59I didn't tell my friends
00:25:01that I used to live
00:25:03with a guy
00:25:05who used to beat me up.
00:25:07I used to go to a hotel
00:25:09many times a week
00:25:11because I was scared of him.
00:25:13But not on weekends
00:25:15because hotels were expensive.
00:25:17So I filed a restraining order
00:25:19against Ben.
00:25:24In Las Vegas,
00:25:26I met the police near my house.
00:25:28They told me
00:25:30that if I don't open the door,
00:25:32they'll kill me.
00:25:34I said,
00:25:36but that's my house
00:25:38and he's living in my house
00:25:40with his belongings.
00:25:42I have to take some things from my house
00:25:44so that I can go to work.
00:25:46So can you take me to my house
00:25:48so that I can take some things
00:25:50without getting beaten up?
00:25:52No, we don't do that.
00:25:54On the basis of my restraining orders,
00:25:56I went to ask the police about Ben.
00:25:59But he didn't open the door
00:26:01the way I thought he would.
00:26:03And then he just left
00:26:05with the paper near the door.
00:26:07I sat outside my house
00:26:09for a few hours.
00:26:11I didn't know what to do
00:26:13or where to go.
00:26:15I was very scared to go in
00:26:17because I had just filed
00:26:19a restraining order against him.
00:26:21But I was tired.
00:26:23I was broken.
00:26:25I couldn't think of anything.
00:26:27So I went inside.
00:26:29I went straight to my room
00:26:31and laid down
00:26:33and went to sleep.
00:26:35When I opened my eyes,
00:26:37he was sitting on top of me.
00:26:42He held my hands
00:26:44with one hand.
00:26:46He shaved my head
00:26:48with a clipper
00:26:50and made me bald.
00:26:52And he said,
00:26:54now no man will look at you
00:26:56and call you beautiful.
00:26:58Even if I fought him,
00:27:00I couldn't beat him.
00:27:02I knew I couldn't do anything about it.
00:27:04He had already shaved half of my head.
00:27:06This man in front of me
00:27:08is someone else
00:27:10that I couldn't understand.
00:27:12At that time,
00:27:14I had only one way
00:27:16to save my face.
00:27:18That was to stay quiet.
00:27:20He kept me there
00:27:22for several weeks.
00:27:24He didn't let me go
00:27:26even for a moment.
00:27:28When we slept,
00:27:30he would either tie me up
00:27:32or stand with a gun on my head.
00:27:34He took off all my clothes
00:27:36so that I couldn't hide anything from him.
00:27:38He even took my phone.
00:27:40A few days went by
00:27:42and he told me he would kill me.
00:27:44I knew he could do that.
00:27:46I could see it in his eyes.
00:27:48I was very scared.
00:27:54In the next few days,
00:27:56things got out of hand
00:27:58when he started beating me up.
00:28:00I asked him
00:28:02why he was doing this to me.
00:28:04I've been taking care of you
00:28:06for the past year.
00:28:08Why are you doing this to me?
00:28:10He looked at me and said,
00:28:12I'll have to do it.
00:28:14I said, okay.
00:28:16He looked at me again
00:28:18and said,
00:28:20I'll have to do it.
00:28:23He looked at me again
00:28:25and said,
00:28:27I'll have to go to jail
00:28:29for what I did to you.
00:28:36Finally, my credit card limit was met.
00:28:39Because of that,
00:28:41I couldn't order food
00:28:43and we didn't have water.
00:28:45I had to go to the grocery store.
00:28:47I thought,
00:28:49this is my chance.
00:28:51I said,
00:28:53the dog food is over
00:28:55and we don't have anything to eat.
00:28:57He said,
00:28:59we'll have to go to the store.
00:29:01We sat in my car.
00:29:03He asked me to drive.
00:29:05I thought,
00:29:07I might be able to get out of his clutches.
00:29:10We went to the grocery store
00:29:12near our house.
00:29:14It was a small grocery store.
00:29:16I thought he'd be more comfortable there.
00:29:18As soon as I parked the car in the parking lot,
00:29:20Maya had to go to the bathroom.
00:29:22I said, okay.
00:29:24I was very nervous.
00:29:26I opened my seatbelt
00:29:28and got out of the car.
00:29:30I ran away.
00:29:32I didn't have a phone
00:29:34or money.
00:29:36I ran to the store.
00:29:38I was very nervous.
00:29:40I explained the situation
00:29:42to a staff member.
00:29:44I asked if there was an office or a room
00:29:46where I could hide.
00:29:48He said no.
00:29:50I said, okay.
00:29:52He's outside.
00:29:54He's walking my dog.
00:29:58I asked him if there was a back door.
00:30:00He said yes.
00:30:02I ran out of the building.
00:30:04I didn't look back.
00:30:06I kept running.
00:30:08I didn't know what would happen
00:30:10if he found me.
00:30:12A man was sitting in his car.
00:30:14He looked at me and asked,
00:30:17should I drop you to the hospital?
00:30:19I said yes.
00:30:25Metropolis?
00:30:27This is Marie from the Mountain View Emergency Room.
00:30:30I want to talk to you about Marpeach.
00:30:33It's a kidnapping case.
00:30:35I don't know the name of the person
00:30:37who killed him.
00:30:39He was kidnapped
00:30:41and kept in his house.
00:30:43I think his dog is with him.
00:30:46Okay.
00:31:08Hi, Jamie.
00:31:10I'm Officer Casper.
00:31:12He'll stay here and talk to you.
00:31:14Hi.
00:31:44If he's arrested,
00:31:46he won't be in jail forever, right?
00:31:49I didn't think the police would keep me safe.
00:31:52Even if the police arrested him,
00:31:54I knew he'd be out soon
00:31:56and reach me.
00:32:00Jamie, tell us where that man lives.
00:32:03I gave my statement to the police.
00:32:09I was taken to the hospital that night.
00:32:12I was released from the hospital that night.
00:32:15A SWAT officer dropped me home.
00:32:18He called the judge
00:32:20and got a search warrant
00:32:22to search my house
00:32:24and arrest Ben.
00:32:26When we got home,
00:32:28I saw an ambulance,
00:32:30a fire department,
00:32:32a news team, helicopters,
00:32:34drones, everything.
00:32:36They had already surrounded the place.
00:32:40All the windows were broken
00:32:42with tear gas.
00:32:44The front door was down in the lawn.
00:32:47Ben picked up Maya and came out.
00:32:50An officer took Maya from him
00:32:52and gave her to me.
00:32:54He put Ben in the car.
00:32:59One day, I was just sitting on the couch
00:33:02and watching TV.
00:33:04Suddenly, I saw Ben's face
00:33:07on a TV news.
00:33:09He accused his girlfriend
00:33:11of being a prisoner.
00:33:13He killed her, burned her alive,
00:33:15and made her bald.
00:33:17The girl he was dating
00:33:19was treated very badly.
00:33:21I was in shock.
00:33:23I couldn't believe it.
00:33:25I was surprised to think
00:33:27that in all his past,
00:33:29he had done the same
00:33:31to someone else.
00:33:33I couldn't think straight.
00:33:35But if I could think
00:33:37of his other side,
00:33:39it would seem like
00:33:41he has done something
00:33:43more dangerous than before.
00:33:45He might get a long sentence this time.
00:33:48The police said
00:33:50Foster locked himself in the house
00:33:52for several hours last week.
00:33:54Ben was charged with domestic violence,
00:33:56strangulation,
00:33:58kidnapping first degree,
00:34:00and several other charges.
00:34:02But I didn't want to go to that trial.
00:34:04I didn't want to go to that courtroom.
00:34:06I didn't want to see it all.
00:34:08I didn't fear giving a statement.
00:34:10But sitting in that room
00:34:12where he would be
00:34:14and feeling it all again
00:34:16was difficult.
00:34:21The DA and the police
00:34:23had a lot of evidence.
00:34:25They had taken my 100 photographs.
00:34:27I had made my statement.
00:34:29They had seen me.
00:34:31So why should I sit in front of them?
00:34:33The DA found a solution.
00:34:36If we don't have
00:34:38a victim who is willing
00:34:40to come to court
00:34:42or a victim who refuses to come to court,
00:34:44then it is our responsibility
00:34:46to get the criminal punished.
00:34:57He was given a maximum of
00:34:5930 months in prison
00:35:01and a two-year sentence.
00:35:06He was released
00:35:08after the first sentence.
00:35:10I was alert
00:35:12and alert again.
00:35:14I knew Ben was free.
00:35:16It felt like
00:35:18Ben's pattern had been created.
00:35:20He was more violent
00:35:22and dangerous than before.
00:35:24He was more violent
00:35:26and dangerous than before.
00:35:28He was more violent
00:35:30and dangerous than before.
00:35:32He was more violent
00:35:34and dangerous than before.
00:35:36He was more violent
00:35:38and dangerous than before.
00:35:49I am sure Ben Foster is a devil.
00:35:51I don't know how he was free
00:35:53even after doing
00:35:55such a disgusting thing
00:35:57with my friend.
00:35:59It was very wrong.
00:36:01He should not have been freed.
00:36:03He should not have been freed.
00:36:11The AMR victim is ready to be taken to the hospital.
00:36:14They are talking about intubation.
00:36:16The victim has very deep wounds on his face.
00:36:19Oh, my God.
00:36:21I never thought I would see something like this.
00:36:23Oh, my God.
00:36:25I spoke to the police
00:36:27and the detective
00:36:29and then my cousin and I
00:36:31went straight to the hospital.
00:36:35Justine was in a coma
00:36:37and she was
00:36:39beaten very badly.
00:36:41She had very deep wounds on her body.
00:36:43The doctors thought
00:36:45she would not survive.
00:36:48Justine is my
00:36:50very dear
00:36:52and very good friend.
00:36:54She is a very alive heart.
00:36:56She is very beautiful.
00:36:58And I believe she is
00:37:01my favorite bartender.
00:37:03I have never seen a more talented person than her.
00:37:06I just wanted
00:37:08her to come to her senses.
00:37:10That's all I wanted.
00:37:12A man is being searched in Southern Oregon.
00:37:15If anyone asks for a lift,
00:37:17call 911, okay?
00:37:19This incident had shaken this small town.
00:37:22Everyone was worried about it.
00:37:24And they were very sad
00:37:26that Justine was in this state.
00:37:28Everyone wanted to catch her.
00:37:3036-year-old Benjamin Obadiah Foster
00:37:32escaped.
00:37:34He tried to kidnap a woman
00:37:36and kill her.
00:37:38And the police say
00:37:40that he is very dangerous.
00:37:42Ben Foster had been identified.
00:37:44He ran away from the crime scene
00:37:46before the officers got there.
00:37:48Okay. Come out and come here.
00:37:50Who are you? Are you Ben?
00:37:52Is he the one?
00:37:54We had to catch that suspect
00:37:56so that he could not target anyone else.
00:37:58This is not him.
00:38:00Okay.
00:38:07We had to call more resources
00:38:09to catch this Ben.
00:38:11To help us,
00:38:13we called the U.S. Marshals.
00:38:15And then we called
00:38:17all the detectives
00:38:19from the police department.
00:38:21All the information,
00:38:23whether it's from social media
00:38:25or an address,
00:38:27we started looking for him.
00:38:57Oh, my God.
00:39:27Really?
00:39:57This is a rural area
00:39:59where there are a lot of farms and ranches.
00:40:01And that area
00:40:03is like a dense jungle.
00:40:05We set up surveillance
00:40:07in Sunny Valley.
00:40:09And then Ben Foster
00:40:11was seen outside a house.
00:40:13Let's cover here
00:40:15and surround from that side too.
00:40:17We found out
00:40:19that the house belonged
00:40:21to a woman named Tina Jones.
00:40:23So we deployed our scout team
00:40:25to keep an eye out.
00:40:29Tina's dogs barked
00:40:31and alerted Ben
00:40:33about the two officers
00:40:35hiding in the jungle.
00:40:37Ben Foster came out of the house
00:40:39and it was clear
00:40:41that he was scared
00:40:43because of the barking of the dogs.
00:40:45Ben decided to investigate
00:40:47and climbed onto the roof
00:40:49of Tina's house with binoculars.
00:40:51One of our officers
00:40:54was watching the man
00:40:56who was in the trailer.
00:40:58Then Ben got down
00:41:00and looked around the property.
00:41:02As soon as he saw
00:41:04our surveillance officer,
00:41:06he immediately ran away.
00:41:08He ran that way.
00:41:10That way?
00:41:12Yes, straight ahead.
00:41:14To your left.
00:41:16Track his footprints.
00:41:18He was wearing a blue jeans
00:41:20and a camo jacket.
00:41:22Come on, boys.
00:41:52No, no, no.
00:41:54I don't know who he is.
00:41:56He's...
00:41:58Okay.
00:42:00We have evidence
00:42:02that you have protected him
00:42:04and helped to erase the evidence.
00:42:06In the search of Tina's house,
00:42:08we found a small travel backpack.
00:42:10When we opened it,
00:42:12we found Ben's wallet,
00:42:14his ID,
00:42:16and a lot of cash.
00:42:18It looked like he had
00:42:20a small bag
00:42:22that he could take
00:42:24to escape from the state or that area.
00:42:26Handbag
00:42:28with three cell phones.
00:42:30We found multiple phones
00:42:32wrapped in tinfoil.
00:42:34We found a tablet
00:42:36and a laptop with the camera covered.
00:42:38The electronic communication
00:42:40that was in his backpack
00:42:42was wrapped in tinfoil.
00:42:44We could clearly see
00:42:46that he was being tracked.
00:42:50We retrieved a cell phone
00:42:52from his go-bag.
00:42:54When we checked the phone,
00:42:56we found out that he was using dating apps.
00:42:59And using those dating apps,
00:43:01he was either trying to escape
00:43:03from the state or that area
00:43:05or he was looking for
00:43:07his next victim.
00:43:11And once again,
00:43:13we have the person
00:43:15who the police say
00:43:17used dating apps
00:43:19to track him.
00:43:49We found out that Ben was in Surkhi
00:43:51and was being searched for.
00:43:53As soon as I heard the word search,
00:43:55I heard a voice inside me.
00:43:57Is it possible that he came back here?
00:43:59I used to listen to the news
00:44:01sitting in front of the TV all the time.
00:44:04I was always afraid
00:44:06that Ben might come back to Las Vegas.
00:44:15One day, I got a call from Ben's brother.
00:44:19And I hadn't spoken to him
00:44:21for about a year.
00:44:23He told me that Ben had escaped.
00:44:26He was crying.
00:44:28He said,
00:44:30I'm sorry, I didn't believe you.
00:44:35Then he said...
00:44:39I didn't want to believe it was true.
00:44:41But now I know you were telling the truth
00:44:43because he did it to someone else.
00:44:45And he's in a terrible state.
00:44:47And...
00:44:49the police are looking for him
00:44:51and he's running away.
00:44:53I just want to tell you
00:44:55to be careful
00:44:57because he could come to you.
00:45:06On Sunday, the 29th,
00:45:08our fugitive apprehension teams
00:45:10continued their search for Ben Foster.
00:45:13We are doing our best
00:45:15to get as much information as possible.
00:45:18We were sending out groups
00:45:20to Sunny Valley
00:45:22to get as much information as possible.
00:45:27Then on Monday,
00:45:29I remember
00:45:31I was talking to my partner
00:45:33about where we were going
00:45:35and what other leads we had
00:45:37that could lead us to him.
00:45:41I asked Tina in jail
00:45:43because I knew
00:45:45she knew who Ben Foster was.
00:45:47She said he came on the night of the 24th
00:45:49and said,
00:45:51I had a fight with my parents.
00:45:53Can I stay here?
00:45:55And he used to go to the same church
00:45:57in Sunny Valley.
00:45:59So she said, yes, you can stay here.
00:46:01And she allowed him to park his car there.
00:46:03She said she really didn't know
00:46:05that he was a fugitive.
00:46:07We're still looking for Mr. Foster
00:46:09and we're getting more worried
00:46:12because he's on the loose.
00:46:14He's not at your house, but he's somewhere else.
00:46:16No, he can't be at home
00:46:18because, um,
00:46:20Ron and Rick
00:46:22must be taking care of my dogs.
00:46:25She was worried about her dogs.
00:46:27There were two dogs at home
00:46:29and she took Richard Barron's name
00:46:31and she had complete faith
00:46:33that he would take care of the dogs.
00:46:35My partners went to meet Richard
00:46:37and asked him if he had any trouble
00:46:39taking care of the dogs.
00:46:41He said, no,
00:46:43we can't find Ben,
00:46:45so if anything happens,
00:46:47please let us know.
00:46:52Because of our network,
00:46:54we finally got a tip
00:46:56that someone had booked a taxi
00:46:58from the Sunny Valley area.
00:47:00A guy who works for a cab company
00:47:02said he got a call
00:47:04for a cab
00:47:06and the cab driver's name
00:47:08was Richard Barron, Tina's neighbor.
00:47:10The cab driver knew Richard
00:47:12because he was older
00:47:14and his voice
00:47:16didn't sound that loud,
00:47:18so he rejected the call.
00:47:20He knew we were looking for Ben,
00:47:22so he called us.
00:47:24A little later,
00:47:26I got a call from Detective Sergeant Hamilton
00:47:28and he told me
00:47:30he was at Richard's house.
00:47:40This time I saw it.
00:47:42There are two bodies here.
00:47:44Okay. Two bodies.
00:47:46Two bodies. Two murders.
00:47:48Okay.
00:47:50They found Richard dead
00:47:52and his caretaker,
00:47:54Ronald Griffith,
00:47:56both dead in the living room.
00:47:58There's blood.
00:48:00There's bloodstains here.
00:48:02They were murdered at his house,
00:48:04which was a little away
00:48:06from Tina's house.
00:48:08We suspect that Ben
00:48:10must have sneaked in
00:48:12and locked them up
00:48:14and hidden them there.
00:48:16They were brutally murdered.
00:48:18Gas. I smell gas.
00:48:20The smell of gas
00:48:22was very strong in the house.
00:48:24Their bodies were covered
00:48:26in pieces of wood
00:48:28and the stove was on.
00:48:30I think he wanted to burn them.
00:48:32Yes. I was not at all surprised
00:48:34when he said
00:48:37that he was connected to Ben.
00:48:39We called the cab company
00:48:41and found out
00:48:43that the other cab company
00:48:45had picked someone up from Richard's house.
00:48:47Is he the one who was picked up?
00:48:49He didn't have a beard, but he was tall.
00:48:51Does he look like him?
00:48:53Yes.
00:48:55He took him to Grants Pass
00:48:57and he also said
00:48:59that he dropped him near the area
00:49:01that was near Justine's house
00:49:03where this horrible incident took place.
00:49:05He also said
00:49:07that he had a small white dog.
00:49:12Hello.
00:49:14Hi.
00:49:16Justine's neighbor saw a glimpse
00:49:18of Ben eating mail.
00:49:20Did anyone tell you
00:49:22about our suspect?
00:49:24He said he was walking the dog
00:49:26at about 10 a.m.
00:49:28The detectives managed
00:49:30to get some videos from our neighbor.
00:49:32The video that our team got
00:49:34shows a white dog
00:49:36with a tan colored jacket and jeans.
00:49:38Tan colored jacket, blue jeans,
00:49:40white dog with blue vest.
00:49:42Clean shaven, trim cut.
00:49:44Perfect.
00:49:46The video shows Ben Foster
00:49:48walking near Justine's house
00:49:50with a white dog.
00:49:52Copy.
00:49:54Let's go help from the back.
00:49:56We were sure that Ben
00:49:58was hiding in Justine's house.
00:50:00So we called the Jackson County squad team.
00:50:02There's a shooter there.
00:50:04We need three more people
00:50:06to get to the front door.
00:50:08We didn't want him to run away
00:50:10like he ran away from Sunny Valley
00:50:12in the jungle.
00:50:14Many law enforcement agencies
00:50:16have blocked the road
00:50:18to this community.
00:50:20Everyone, move back.
00:50:22Please go to the other side of the road.
00:50:24First, we need to open the door.
00:50:26We need to open a garage.
00:50:28We'll search the whole area
00:50:31to find Ben.
00:50:33We have an arrest warrant for you.
00:50:35Come out with your hands up.
00:50:37We stood outside the house
00:50:39and made announcements for four hours.
00:50:41We used chemical weapons.
00:50:43Get out of the way.
00:50:45We have a search warrant.
00:50:47Come out with your hands up.
00:50:49But there was no answer.
00:50:51We were sure that Ben
00:50:53was inside the house.
00:50:55So we had to get a search warrant
00:50:57so that we could go inside the house.
00:50:59Everything is ready.
00:51:01We can go inside.
00:51:03They sent the Jackson County squad
00:51:05with K-9s and drones
00:51:07to search the house.
00:51:13There's no one in the right and left cabins.
00:51:15The primary is clear.
00:51:17We didn't touch anything.
00:51:19There was no Ben either.
00:51:21He should be inside.
00:51:23We checked all the closets,
00:51:25but we didn't find him.
00:51:27Yeah.
00:51:44There's a dog in there.
00:51:52I saw something moving.
00:51:54We found out that
00:51:56there's something down there.
00:51:58Guys, he's under the house.
00:52:00Don't go without a weapon.
00:52:02Be careful. He won't survive.
00:52:04Ben was hiding under the house.
00:52:06Guys, why don't we put some paper balls
00:52:08or chemical gas in that hole?
00:52:10We had to take the paper ball
00:52:12to that little place.
00:52:14We put some chemical bombs
00:52:16in there.
00:52:18And then with the help
00:52:20of the Jackson County robots,
00:52:22we sent the camera inside.
00:52:25We sent the camera inside
00:52:27so we could see the bags,
00:52:29the clothes, the sleeping bags.
00:52:31And as we got down there,
00:52:33we saw Ben.
00:52:35Hey, he's on his knees.
00:52:37He's looking out.
00:52:39He started wailing here and there.
00:52:41I don't know how long he was there.
00:52:43He had a pistol in his hand.
00:52:45Guys, be careful.
00:52:47There was a speaker on a robot
00:52:49so we could negotiate.
00:52:51But he didn't say anything.
00:52:52Benjamin Foster.
00:53:22Oh, my God, that voice.
00:53:53People tell me,
00:53:55oh, he chose the easy way.
00:53:57He killed himself.
00:53:59And I say, he's where he should be.
00:54:01He's burning in hell.
00:54:06I was afraid
00:54:08that Justine would never wake up.
00:54:12And I thought,
00:54:14this is all because of me.
00:54:16I wish I had gotten there sooner.
00:54:19I couldn't believe
00:54:21that she had woken up.
00:54:28I wouldn't be alive.
00:54:30I wouldn't be alive if Angie and her mom hadn't been there.
00:54:37Whatever happened to me,
00:54:39it's nothing but torture.
00:54:41I mean, I never thought
00:54:43that something like this
00:54:45could happen to me.
00:54:47Never. Not even in my dreams.
00:54:49I never thought
00:54:51that someone would try to kill me.
00:54:55Ben and I were together
00:54:57for about two months.
00:54:59Two months.
00:55:01It was a very casual relationship.
00:55:03I didn't feel any danger
00:55:05because he was very nice to me.
00:55:07But one day,
00:55:09Ben came to Angie's house
00:55:11and he asked for clean urine
00:55:13because he had to pass
00:55:15the urinalysis test.
00:55:17I was very excited
00:55:19because usually,
00:55:21the urinalysis test is done
00:55:23when you're in a legal situation.
00:55:25That's why I started going on the internet.
00:55:28And that's when I found out
00:55:30about his history in Las Vegas.
00:55:37I was in shock.
00:55:39I thought,
00:55:41I should tell my boss about this
00:55:43because you wouldn't want
00:55:46anyone in the industry
00:55:48to serve you alcohol
00:55:50who has been beaten up
00:55:52by women in history.
00:55:54And that's why
00:55:56he was fired.
00:56:00Ben knew that he was fired
00:56:02because of me.
00:56:04Then I decided
00:56:06and I stopped going out with him.
00:56:09A month after he was fired,
00:56:11one day when I came home,
00:56:13he was sitting alone
00:56:15in the garage.
00:56:20I remember,
00:56:22I was sitting on my couch
00:56:24and he came out of the garage
00:56:26and started hitting me.
00:56:28He said,
00:56:30I got him fired.
00:56:32Ben made me a prisoner
00:56:34and basically kidnapped me
00:56:36for three days.
00:56:38He kept hitting me,
00:56:40hit me, hit me,
00:56:42and hit me.
00:56:44Justine?
00:56:51Ambulance coming, honey.
00:57:14♪
00:57:44♪
00:58:14I consider myself
00:58:16to be very lucky.
