Samantha Josephson: A Night Out Turned Into Every Student’s Worst Nightmare | Cases with Context

This episode of Murder x Mascara covers the heartbreaking case of Samantha Josephson, a 21-year-old University of South Carolina student who disappeared after a night out with friends in Columbia, South Carolina in March 2019.

Samantha believed she was getting into her Uber to go home safely. Instead, investigators say she mistakenly entered the car of a man prosecutors later described as a predator searching for a vulnerable victim in the crowded college nightlife district.

In this episode, we break down:
Samantha’s final known movements
The surveillance footage timeline
How investigators identified the suspect so quickly
The forensic evidence presented at trial
The search for Samantha
The case that later inspired “Sami’s Law” and the #WHATSMYNAME Foundation

This case changed national conversations around rideshare safety and led to the #WHATSMYNAME Foundation created by Samantha’s family. To learn more about the #WHATSMYNAME Foundation:
