Samantha Josephson was an intelligent college senior at the University of South Carolina aspiring to be an international law lawyer and had been accepted into numerous Universities to complete her educational path. Unfortunately, Samantha’s life would be cut short by Nathaniel Rowland, a native of South Carolina in the blink of an eye.
After a night of celebration, Samantha would decide she was ready to leave the popular 5 Points area of Columbia, so she ordered an Uber. Soon after a black Chevy Impala would pull up and Samantha would get in. 14 hours later and 65 miles away in New Zion, SC, two turkey hunters would find Samantha’s body in a field with over 120 stab wounds.
It would not be long after the discovery of Samantha’s body that the police would arrest 24-year-old, Nathaniel Rowland. The evidence would be damning for Nathaniel, and he would swiftly be charged with the kidnapping, murder, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime.
What would cause Nathaniel to kill Samantha? Was this a racially driven murder or was Nathaniel just looking for anyone to kill? Take a listen to this week’s episode when Sam tells the unimaginable tale of the murder of a young college student and case that follows it.
