After a woman escaped from a makeshift “dungeon” made of cinder blocks in a man’s Oregon home, the FBI says it is looking for additional victims in other states.
The man, 29-year-old Negasi Zuberi, was taken into federal custody on suspicion of kidnapping across state lines after a woman from Seattle escaped from his home in Klamath Falls, Oregon, according to a news release from the FBI Portland Field Office. The woman also said she was sexually assaulted, the FBI said.
Zuberi, who has lived in at least 10 states since 2016, has been linked to violent assaults in at least four states, according to the FBI. Investigators have reason to believe there could be several other victims, the agency said. Zuberi was indicted by a federal grand jury in Oregon on one count of kidnapping and one count of transportation with intent to engage in sexual activity, court documents filed Wednesday show.

This guy has a trail of bodies.
Not to make light of the situation but the person needs some masonary classes. Someone with enough determination could probabbly take out a column or two with their shoulder the way they’re stacked.
Complete nightmare fuel. I don’t even want to think about how many people are trapped in situations like this, or never make it out of them. Castro had those girls locked up for a decade or more. awful.

Two Nevada State Patrol officers tracked Zuberi down at a Walmart parking lot in Reno the next day, July 16, the complaint says. He was in his car holding one of his children in the front seat while talking to his wife, who was standing outside the vehicle. He initially refused to get out of the car when the officers asked and instead cut himself with a sharp object and tried to destroy his phone, according to the complaint, which notes that Zuberi eventually surrendered and that the child wasn’t harmed.
WTF
Why do so many creeps in the US end up in a place like Oregon? I remember seeing something about how a good amount of serial killers live there in hiding?
Klamath County is huge, sparsely populated and filled with off grid homesteads on massive but very cheap parcels of land especially in places like Tableland. There is truly so little out there that if you don’t want to be bothered, it’s the place to be. There’s also basically no cops. It’s the modern wild west.
We say here in the valley, “Ted Buddy was a Husky,” so at least he isn’t ours
They finally tore down his favorite seattle college bar, Dantes, about 5 years ago. Its a car lot now, but at least it only lasted another 40 years or so after he killed all those women.
Very sparse population. But why is the population so sparse? Here’s a good answer: https://youtu.be/cOoFsehit6U
(Geography video about the history of this area.)
Maybe just the location of being in between Seattle and California.
Probabbly because it’s one of the more habbitable parts of the country that also is not too population dense. Major cities are less frequent in some places but they tend to be in the desert or something.
