Mind Your Business

During the early morning hours on March 29th, 2019, 21-year-old Samantha Josephson, a student at the University of South Carolina, was out with friends in the Five Points district of Columbia. Although her friends were looking to spend a night out on the town, Samantha wanted to call it a night early and ordered an Uber home shortly after 2 a.m. When the car arrived, she notified her boyfriend Greg that she was heading home. She then got into a black Chevy Impala and departed from Five Points district. But Greg, who was able to track Samantha’s phone, noticed that she was heading in the opposite direction of her apartment - and shortly thereafter, was disconnected altogether from the app and unable to see her location. The next day Greg and Samantha’s friends all realized that she had actually never made it home that morning and soon everyone would soon learn the horrific truth - the Uber that Samantha Josephson got into… was no Uber at all.
