After being separated from her roommates during a night out, at 2 am, 21 year old, Samantha Josephson called for an uber. She had got in the car thinking it was her ride and 14 hours later turkey hunters had found her body in a field 90 miles from her college in Columbia. Nathaniel David Rowland, 24, was arrested on charges of murder and kidnapping in connection with Josephson's death.
This is really sad and its a good reason as to why taking uber's by yourself is very dangerous and its best to have someone with you. This world has become that dangerous were you cant trust anyone to take you anywhere and also she should have double checked that, that car was actually for her uber. This connects to how these days its not safe to do anything anymore.
The idea of getting a ride from a complete stranger is dangerous and if someone was with her may he would have thought twice about taking her.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, this reminds me of an episode of Criminal Minds, which is ridiculous because something like this should never be happening in real life. I wish that she had checked the car's plates, or that someone was there with her. Will this and should this affect the company in any legal way? It's tough to decide, because on one hand, without their service she never would have been exposed to her murderer, but on the other hand Uber does have warnings to check license plates and to always make sure that you are getting into the right car. Either way, I'm glad that a suspect was caught.
