A woman who escaped her kidnapper by punching her way out of a homemade cinder block cell at a home in southern Oregon likely saved other women from a similar fate, authorities said, by alerting them to a man they now suspect in sexual assaults in at least four more states.

Investigators interviewed Zuberi’s wife and neighbors, but authorities declined to say if there was any indication that any of them had been aware of the abduction.

Assuming they didn't live separated it is hard to imagine that they didn't know. A makeshift cell in your garage that holds your victims is kind of hard to hide from your family.

A search of Zuberi’s home and garage turned up the Seattle woman’s purse and handwritten notes, according to investigators. One of them was labeled “Operation Take Over” and included a bullet list with entries that read, “Leave phone at home” and “Make sure they don’t have a bunch of ppl (sic) in their life. You don’t want any type of investigation.”

This kinda makes it sound even darker, maybe like a trafficking ring. Did he write that himself? Some third party? His wife?

I heard that the woman was taken from Washington, held in the cell in Oregon, and the guy was arrested with his family in Reno. I don't know any details, but figured there was something more to the logistics that weren't being reported.
