Police said John Lytus, 52, pulled up to a 7-Eleven at 955 Ridgewood Avenue and asked the victim to get in his truck, which she did.
According to a police report, after Lytus asked her, the victim told him she was "dope sick" and homeless.
After the two drove around for about two hours and found some prescription medication delaudid, they arrived at an RV, which was parked near 554 Baldwin Lane.

Police said the victim went to the bathroom and when she walked out of the room Lytus, armed with a knife, forced her to the bedroom. He told her she had two options: Do what he told her to do or she could die and he would bury her.

Lytus reportedly raped her and then left her bound for 12 hours.
The following day, Lytus returned the woman to the same location he picked her up at, police said.
