Woman Rescued at Olive Garden After Man Forced Her Into ‘Satanic Ritual’ and Held Her Hostage, Police Say

Prosecutors say Daniel Ouellet used a gun and threats to force a marriage and keep the woman isolated before her escape drew police help.

  • On Saturday, police arrested 47-year-old Daniel Ouellet at an Olive Garden in Newington, New Hampshire, after a woman fled to officers claiming she was held hostage by a man with a gun.
  • Investigators allege Ouellet forced the woman to marry him in Lee, New Hampshire, after threatening her family; she later reported he performed a "Satanic ritual" by slicing her hand with a box cutter.
  • Officers discovered a copy of "The Satanic Bible" in Ouellet's car during their search, while the woman told police she had been kept without her phone and suffered cigarette burns on her legs.
  • During a court appearance on Monday, Ouellet denied the allegations, insisting the woman was his "wife" and they were simply having a meal together; a judge ordered him held in preventative detention.
  • The case spanning Pennsylvania and New England involves additional charges prosecutors are pursuing for domestic violence and using a deadly weapon, with an emergency protective order granted to the woman.
