Popular South Carolina University college senior Samantha Josephson was the pride and joy of her family as she prepared to head off to Drexel Law School with a full scholarship. So, it was unusual when Samantha went missing after a night of socializing at the Five Points bar area in Columbia. Tragically her body was found 24 hours later, with more than a hundred stab wounds. When surveillance footage showed her getting into an Uber in Five Points, police put out an all-points bulletin, and quickly arrested Uber driver Nathaniel Rowlands during a routine traffic stop of a lookalike vehicle. But the case was far from over, as Rowlands claimed someone had stolen his car and he was not the driver in the grainy surveillance photo.
