It never fails to astound me how fast the friends and family were out searching for Samantha. They were a coordinated team. We all should so be lucky to have love and support like that

It’s was an honor to see Judge Newman on a case other than the Murdaugh tragedy. Judge Newman is a badass.

[missp]

Just senseless. The fear she must have felt. Rest in eternal peace Samantha.

[CobiewithaK]

A life filled with purpose and promise gets carelessly and brutally snuffed out by a piece of useless garbage who is not even worthy of the air he breaths - these type of cases always get to me.

[JonBullock]

Such a tragic story. I don't know how the parents of these monsters can get up in court and support them with the mountain of evidence against them.

[eduardodiaz]

The silver lining is that the... thing... that killed poor Samantha won't be able to hurt anyone else, ever.

[Luckimee]

The mother makes me sick. Defending a murderer. They get away with too much

[mariapower]

Great research and narration, Jiles!!!! Thank you for following this case all the way to the Judge delivering the verdict and imposing sentence to this monster.

Wondering when Samantha realized she was not with the Uber driver she hired makes me cringe and shiver! What is truly perplexing is at what moment did Nathaniel decide to kill her? Kidnapping a college student and expecting huge amounts of cash to be readily available is he may have needed money, but in my opinion, this is not why he killed her.

Kudos to her family for honoring her memory by creating safeguards to the Uber transportation process!!!!

[NinaDuffy]

So sad and senseless. Absolutely a monster of a human being. Thanks Jiles, for another early morning video to go with my coffe.

His mother is the perfect example of why you cannot trust people to do the right thing.

[goethalzbridge]

😂 the cop who started to chase the monster before he even.. good instincts ... 13:55

I remember hearing about this
case when it happened back in
2019, it was so horrible, Samantha
fought so hard for her life, she
absolutely did not deserved to die
such an brutal death at the hands
of an murderer. RIP Samantha.☹🙏

A terrible
A friend of mine owned a bar and a very drunk tourist jumped into a van thinking it was her taxi. She got ra×ed, bashed.... police tried to help her but she fled our country to get home. The guys were never caught.

I watched part of the trial and I do not know how this guy and his mother were going to continue to deny his killing this woman.

[josealqueres]

If this is not a case for the death penalty I dont know what is. SMH

[motrwithmary]

Such a tragic story, may the victims family find peace. Also, I'm glad his girlfriend testified, it could not have been easy.

[geeksworkshop]

Very sad indeed. I wish we lived in a world were people weren't monsters.

[LeggoMyMeg]

Had no idea Clifton Newman overall this trial too. Glad it was him such a powerful message for such a monster.

[elizabethshepard]

Hi Jiles I remember this trial and the extent he went to cover up and denied his guilt, but everyone saw right thru him and judge gave him the sentence he deserved!! Her parents were devastated, RIP Sam ❤🙏🙏🙏

[AcypressRN]

This one always bothered me because although there is rarely ever an excuse to take a life, there was absolutely no rhyme or reason for him doing this. No sexual assault, didn’t rob her, nothing! He just was out here doing some sh*t and it was just truly tragic and senseless!
