Her mother quoted
Her dreams were my dreams, and her death was my death, I close my eyes, and I feel what she endured at his hands — 120 times, I used to have dreams for her, and now all I have are nightmares.
Two hikers saw the body in a rural area near Rowland’s home and reported to the police about what they saw, police identified the car and searched it, and found Samantha's blood in it, they stopped the car with Nathanial in it and he started running until police caught him. they found the knife with Samantha's blood on it, it was a knife with different blades, she has stab wounds to her head, neck, face, upper body, leg, and foot.
Her Father writing with grief on Facebook saying:
I will miss and love my baby girl for the rest of life. I could continue to write about her, but it kills me. I sit here and cry while looking at the picture and write this,” he said, referring to a shot of the proud dad and a smiling Samantha posing on a couch, her right arm wrapped around his shoulders.
Samantha's family asking the judge and the court that Nathanial gets the worst punishment and uber itself introduced safety options to avoid imposter drivers, he was sentenced to life in prison.
