SC v. NATHANIEL ROWLAND (2021)

Nathaniel Rowland is on trial for the 2019 murder of 21-year-old Samantha Josephson, a senior at The University of South Carolina. Rowland allegedly killed Josephson after she got into his vehicle thinking it was her Uber ride. Surveillance footage from a local business shows Josephson getting into a black sedan around 2:00 a.m. About 14 hours later, turkey hunters found her body in a wooded area 65 miles east of Columbia. She had been stabbed over 30 times, and her remains had to be positively identified by DNA analysis.
