An Oregon man allegedly posed as an undercover cop, kidnapped a Seattle woman, sexually abused her and then locked her in a jury-rigged cell in his garage, according to a newly unsealed federal affidavit. Negasi Zuberi is accused of interstate kidnapping after police say his victim escaped his cinderblock holding cell by beating on a door and ripping through a screen until her hands bled.
Oregon FBI’s assistant special agent in charge Stephanie Shark said his latest victim’s “will to survive may have actually saved many other women.” Police discovered handwritten notes that seemed to outline Zuberi’s elaborate scheme to trap his victims.
