An Oregon woman faces charges after allegedly helping a kidnapping suspect destroy and hide evidence last week while he was evading police, according to an affidavit obtained by CNN
Benjamin Foster, 36, was accused of kidnapping and torturing a woman in Oregon January 24. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot earlier this week after a standoff with law enforcement while on the run, authorities said Wednesday. Tina Marie Jones, 69, was charged with hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence on January 26, according to the affidavit. It’s unclear whether Jones has an attorney.
Prosecutors accused Foster of torturing the woman with the intention of killing her, according to charging documents, and was wanted on suspicion of attempted murder, kidnapping and assault. Officials this week alleged Foster also killed two men while he was on the run. The two men’s bodies, which were found by sheriff’s deputies doing a welfare check Tuesday, were victims of blunt force trauma, Oregon State Police Capt. Kyle Kenney said. It’s not clear what led to those killings.
