Mom held captive found when 8-year-old tells 911 she didn’t come home, OR cops say

An 8-year-old’s 911 call led to the arrest of a man accused of holding his mom against her will, Oregon officials said.

On Sept. 28, Salem officers responded to a home after getting reports from an 8-year-old boy that his mom was possibly in danger and hadn’t returned home, according to a news release by the police department.

An investigation revealed that Caiden Rose, 31, of Portland, had been driving the mom and her daughter around and wouldn’t let them leave the car, officers said.

Officers didn’t specify how Rose knew the woman.

He assaulted the woman in front of her daughter, leaving her with significant injuries before taking her back to his apartment and leaving her there, officers said.

She drove herself to a hospital where police later found her, officers said.

Officers found him at a home, and he tried to leave out a back window but eventually he was arrested after a “short foot pursuit,” officers said.

He was arrested on multiple charges of domestic violence, kidnapping, assault, strangulation, and had an outstanding warrant, officers said.

Salem is about a 50-mile drive southwest from Portland.
