02x06 - Suttles and Josephson

Post by bunniefuu »

[ominous music]

NARRATOR: This time, on "K*llers Caught on Camera," in the US,

South Carolina, an elderly woman goes silent for a week

and is reported missing.

There's just no sign that anything bad happened.

It was as if she just vanished.

NARRATOR: A man who goes into a store just to buy yogurt

comes under suspicion.

And miles away in the state capital

a University of South Carolina student disappears.

But a patrol officer gets a lucky break.

[suspenseful music]

MAN 1: It just sounds like something

bad is happening to her.

WOMAN 1: We know what happened because the video

tells us what happened.

MAN 2: I heard some g*nshots.

POLICE OFFICER: Drop it!

Whatever it is, drop it!

That

Does now prove that I k*lled my wife.

MAN 3: The camera doesn't lie.

[tense music]

NARRATOR: Travelers Rest, South Carolina,

A small city in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains

in Greenville County,

Home two 80-year-old Edna Suttles.

GREG WALTER: When you talk about Edna Suttles,

you need to think of somebody who lived life to the fullest.

I mean, 80 years old, and she's out still, coming and going.

She's still going out with her friends,

spending time with family, just so full of life.

NARRATOR: Edna was a formidable pioneer in her youth,

becoming South Carolina's first female bail bondsman.

She looked after other elderly people in the community.

Friday, August 28, 2021.



GREG WALTER: The deputy shows up at her house

because that's the last known location of where she should be,

knocks on the door, no answer.

The door is secure.

The windows are locked.

There's just no sign that anything bad happened.

It was as if she just vanished.

NARRATOR: Seven whole days went by,

and Edna Suttles was still missing.

Then a breakthrough-- her Jeep located at a hotel.

It was removed, and detectives checked the vehicle

for forensic evidence.

Greg Walter was an investigator for the Greenville

County Sheriff's Office.

The police pulled all the surveillance

footage from the day before Edna Suttles went missing.

Friday, August 27, 2021, Edna was

filmed leaving her home in the morning in her gold Jeep Grand

Cherokee.

This footage is from the business

right outside Edna's house at approximately



And you can see Edna Suttles departing her house.

NARRATOR: Her Jeep was next picked up pulling

into the Food Lion parking lot.

GREG WALTER: Edna had arrived.

She's sitting at the front of the store in the parking lot.

NARRATOR: An unknown man walked up to and past the car.

GREG WALTER: From the looks of the camera,

you see him look at her vehicle and his body language,

mannerisms indicate that they knew one another.

He waved at her.

You see him walk back to his car.

He gets a small bag out of his trunk

and walks over to Edna's car, who's parked right nearby.

And then he hops in with her like they were friends,

and she was expecting to pick him up.

NARRATOR: Edna and the mystery man drove off together.

It was obvious that they had some sort of relationship.

GREG WALTER: Edna got home and made a phone call

at around 10:15 in the morning.

Nearly four hours later, Edna's Jeep was seen again,

this time leaving the house.

At 1343 in the afternoon, as the vehicle transitions

from the driveway onto the main roadway,

it's not a smooth transition.

Instead, it's a bit abrupt and jerky

compared to somebody who would be familiar with transitioning

into that roadway.

This made us think that whoever's driving is not Edna.

[tense music]

NARRATOR: Just before 2 o'clock, Edna's car returned

to the Food Lion parking lot.

But this time, the unidentified man was driving.

He parked at the very back edge of the parking lot.

He gets out, and he walks back to the front

where his car is parked.

He gets into his car and drives it so it's alongside the Jeep

Grand Cherokee.

He's definitely about to load something in to the front car.

And right there, you see that blonde head being loaded

into the front passenger seat.

And then after she is seated into the passenger seat,

he leans in as if he's buckling her in.

NARRATOR: To the untrained eye, it's hard to see.

But frame by frame, police deduced the blonde head

belonged to Edna Suttles.

What's key from this angle is you

see directly inside of the passenger

compartment of the sedan.

You see no movement coming from the passenger compartment, which

implies to us that Edna Suttles is, at the very least,

incapacitated.

He then shuts the doors and he hops back

into the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

NARRATOR: 4 minutes later, he pulled up

in the hotel parking lot.

Then you see this individual wipe

the vehicle down front to back.

You see him walking around the car, wiping door handles,

wiping down the sides.

This behavior is absolutely suspicious.

At around 2 o'clock, the man walked back to his car

and drove off with Edna slumped in the passenger seat.

We didn't know if she was with him willingly,

if she had been kidnapped, or if she was dead at this point.

People over 60 don't go missing very often,

and people over 80 certainly don't

go missing very often, especially

if they don't have dementia.

And when we're talking about abductions in places

like the United Kingdom and the US, over the age of 80

is so rare that those statistics aren't even published.

So when you get this footage that starts putting these two

people together, that must have been an absolute breakthrough

that they would just never have had if they

hadn't had that footage.

They wouldn't even have considered

that she might have been taken.

NARRATOR: The police needed to identify the man seen with Edna.

[ominous music]

Footage from inside the store captured five hours earlier,

provided the breakthrough.

GREG WALTER: Around 9:30 that morning,

he's walking into the store.

And that gives us a very good shot of what he looks like

and what he's wearing.

This footage is absolutely critical

because now we have a face and an image of who this guy is,

and he has a lot of distinguishing features.

He's taller, older, and he has a very distinguishable birthmark

on the left side of his face.

[tense music]

He goes into the store, he makes a purchase of four yogurts.

We see him paying with cash.

The cashier asked the customer, do you want to use

your card for the discount?

And just a typical reaction, obliged him.

NARRATOR: The loyalty card helped police identify the man

as 59-year-old Daniel Printz.

Delving into his records revealed a disturbing past.

GREG WALTER: We found out that he had actually

been arrested in 1996 in Michigan

for a prior kidnapping charge.

NARRATOR: Daniel Printz had served 13 years in prison

for kidnapping.

He also had prior convictions--

firearm possession and as*ault and battery.

But the police had no evidence to charge Daniel

with the kidnapping of Edna Suttles.

They had to bring him in on another charge.

As far as we were aware and what her family was aware of,

he didn't have permission to take and drive her vehicle.

Even though it was a short distance,

we actually signed an arrest warrant

for grand larceny of her vehicle,

which is just a misdemeanor.

But nonetheless, it's an arrest warrant

and gives us an opportunity to detain and talk with him.

[suspenseful music]

NARRATOR: Six days later, police moved in

to arrest Daniel Printz at his home in Bostic, North Carolina.

He was very nonchalant about the entire arrest process.

When you see somebody acting almost too calm compared

to how you or I would react--

--yeah, it definitely raises flags that he was,

in part, expecting it.

[tense music]

NARRATOR: The team on the ground began to search the property.

NARRATOR: Greg Walter conducted the first interview

with Daniel Printz.

He was very arrogant and very callous

about this entire interview.

At this point in the interview,

he was unaware about the surveillance footage.

He didn't know how much information we had acquired

and what the true scope of the investigation was.

[suspenseful music]

NARRATOR: Daniel revealed that he was a handyman,

and Edna had asked him to do some jobs at her house.

GREG WALTER: Interviewing Daniel Printz was like playing a game.

You knew that this guy did something with Edna.

But for one reason or another, he wasn't revealing what

he had done or where she was.

NARRATOR: Greg decided to confront Daniel

with the surveillance footage.

Yep

I directly confronted him and told him

that, you know where Edna Suttles is,

because I want to see how he would respond

both physically and verbally.

I would compare his mannerisms to a snake oil salesman.

He had an answer or an excuse for everything.

NARRATOR: Daniel Printz wasn't helping the police,

and they still had no idea where Edna Suttles was.

Whatever Daniel Printz knew about Edna,

he wasn't saying anything.

NARRATOR: The police were left empty-handed.

They needed more evidence to link him to Edna

and continue to search Printz's home.

[tense music]

By chance, a huge breakthrough.

Not only did they find an entire cache of firearms

and ammunition, but they also found a number of documents

with Nancy Rego's name on her.

Nancy Rego is not his wife.

Why does he have all of her documents?

[suspenseful music]

NARRATOR: The police were starting to wonder

if they had a second victim.

GREG WALTER: There's a lot of alarm bells and flags

that are going off.

Now we have to figure out who Nancy Rego is.

And is she missing?

NARRATOR: Police contacted Nancy Rego's family.

They discovered Nancy hadn't been seen since her mother,

Dolores Sellers, died in 2017.

With more than one potential victim,

Daniel Printz was arrested and taken back to a holding cell.

The case was upgraded.

The FBI were called in to investigate whether Daniel

Printz was a serial k*ller.

Because of his personality, they thought he might respond

well to somebody from the FBI.

What we were going after was to build a relationship with him

where we could come back and talk to him again

and again if needed.

NARRATOR: Watching the interview in real time

was FBI Special Agent Erin Carlisle.

I had the job of looking at Mr. Printz

and analyzing him to pick up on all those little clues,

to feed that information to Agent Newsome.

It was abundantly clear from the first interview

that we shouldn't bruise his ego, give him some deference,

because that's what his personality needs and wanted.

One of the first things the FBI agent does

is he says, you're very intelligent, which, to me,

I register as a really obvious manipulation

tactic to get him to soften up.

But we know from research that the people who are being

flattered in those situations don't read it like that,

and it usually works.

So when someone is tapping into something that we do take pride

in ourselves and they're flattering us,

we are more likely to build rapport.

And we are more likely to trust that person

and tell them things.

That I could ask the questions in a way that made him feel

like he was helping us, that we were a team or a partnership,

that he responded well to that.

I knew that I couldn't interview him

again for his third interview until I

had some new information.

Because during our interview he made it very clear that once

he had spoken or talked about something,

he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

[tense music]

NARRATOR: The new information came

in the form of a significant discovery

back at Printz's property.



Why do we have almost 30 devices?

What's on those devices?

So we're going to start picking through each of those one

by one.

NARRATOR: It was detailed digital forensics,

and the evidence they recovered was chilling.

[ominous music]

We discover a couple of the devices belong to Nancy Rego.

We find one that belongs to Dolores, who is Nancy's mother.

Why does he have Nancy's mother's telephone?

[ominous music]

In addition to Nancy and Dolores, one of the devices

revealed a new name, Lee Goodman.

There was a particular message that

reached out to the individual and said,

hey, mom, we're worried about you.

And that happened to be Leigh Goodman's daughter,

and she let us know that they had

not seen her mother in a significant amount of time.

NARRATOR: The FBI were now looking

at four possible victims--

Edna Suttles, Nancy Rego, Delores Sellers,

and Leigh Goodman.

There's a category of offender who are known as extreme career

criminals, and what that means is that someone is basically

integrating into their life the various serious crimes

that they're committing.

Normally, kidnapping, which already is very rare,

is a one-off event.

It's very targeted.

It's a specific kind of person.

When you've got multiple people being abducted

by the same person, you're already

in an exceptional circumstance.

If you've got multiple murders, you've got a serial k*ller.

All of this is highly unusual.

NARRATOR: Then at Printz's property, another breakthrough,

a beekeeping box with vital evidence

relating to Edna Suttles.

Inside that bee box were found Edna Suttles' belongings

to include her keys, her purse, other things

that she would have had with her on the day

that she went missing.

Beside that bee box also were found her shoes, a shovel,

binding equipment, a pickaxe, things that a lot of us

would assume belong to someone who has disposed of a body.

NARRATOR: Alongside a used yogurt container,

the same brand as the ones Printz

picked up the day Edna went missing.

Traces were found of drugs lorazepam,

tramadol, and cyclobenzaprine.

The drugs make you sleepy, dizzy, and relaxed.

It was time to confront Daniel Printz about all four women.

It was a real definitive moment in the interview where he

knew he knew about the victims.

He knew he had found the Suttles' belongings

and how bad that looked.

NARRATOR: Although the camera was turned off,

the decision was taken to keep the audio running.

It was a pretty powerful time.

He basically stated that he had multiple victims

that he would tell us about.

Daniel Printz was a serial k*ller,

and he doesn't match what we normally think of when we think

of serial K*llers, because it was almost a sort of slow burn,

where he would trap his victims.

He would have this emotional connection with the victims,

and then he would k*ll them.

And exactly at what point we don't really understand,

possibly when it no longer was as fun as it used to be,

possibly when he had all of the account

information that he needed or money that he'd taken from them.

You have this relationship.

You exploit it, and then you m*rder the person.

And that is definitely a type of serial k*ller,

but not one that we see very often.

We were able to get him to name how many bodies there were

and a little bit of the information

around each person's disappearance.

NARRATOR: But Daniel still hadn't told them

where Edna Suttles' body was.

We actually had to pull him out of jail,

transport him up to the property,

and walk him out into the woods.

[suspenseful music]

--and have him point exactly where

he claimed to have buried her.

NARRATOR: Edna's remains were finally recovered in May 2022.

JUSTIN NEWSOME: Their loved one was deceased,

but were able to recover them.

They could have a funeral.

They were able to have all the things that a lot of people

want for their closure after the death of somebody they love.

NARRATOR: Daniel Printz could have received the death penalty,

but his cooperation on all four known victims

resulted in a plea deal.

He pleaded guilty to the charge of kidnapping

resulting in death.

Daniel Printz will spend the rest of his life

in a federal prison.

[suspenseful music]

ERIN CARLISLE: Surveillance footage

was key to this investigation.

Without a crystal clear picture of Daniel Printz's face

walking into that grocery store, and then also checking

out with the yogurt that he was purchasing that day,

I think it would have been a much

more challenging investigation.

NARRATOR: The footage also linked Daniel Printz

to a critical piece of evidence.

We believe that Daniel Printz did utilize the yogurt that he

purchased at the grocery store that morning to potentially take

some of the medications that were Nancy Rego's initially,

crushed them up and put it in the yogurt, which he then

served to Edna Suttles, and unfortunately

led to a Suttles death.

NARRATOR: Police believe that Edna was drugged and then

suffocated with a plastic bag.

Her body was then buried on Printz's property.

But the question still remains, why did he do it?

He was able to manipulate these women into allowing him

into their lives to a point where he

had access to their finances.

He had gotten himself placed on their wills.

In fact, that's how we were able to identify

a potential living victim who we think would

have been his next target.

You have the romantic piece, the sexual component of it.

They believed they were in a relationship with him.

Was it a power trip?

I don't know.

He's living a double life the whole time.

He's married to someone but yet in these other relationships.

He has control over these women.

They are trusting of him.

They give him everything.

They give him access to everything.

Why does he do it?

And then why does he k*ll them in the end?

Those are questions I don't think we can answer.

Are we done with Daniel Printz?

I don't think so.

No one can say for certain that we

have found all of his victims.

Unless we presented the evidence to him,

he was not volunteering anything to us.

So his secrets are his secrets.

To finally be able to tell Edna Suttles' family,

we found your loved one, it's emotional for all.

It's emotional for us as law enforcement

to be able to watch a family get that closure.

[ominous music]

[tense music]

NARRATOR: Daniel Printz was a repeat offender, a serial k*ller

who avoided capture for years.

We may never know the full extent of his crimes.

While having a history of violent crimes

is a risk factor for perpetrating

more violent crimes, the same isn't true the other way around.

So just because you don't have a history of violence,

it doesn't mean you're not capable of m*rder.

And so m*rder, because it's such an unusual thing

to do that people often do quite opportunistically,

almost impulsively, you don't need this whole backstory.

You don't need to escalate to m*rder, necessarily.

NARRATOR: In our next case, a more random,

opportunistic attacker who preyed

upon an unsuspecting and unknown victim.

[sirens wailing]

[ominous music]

[suspenseful music]

In the heart of South Carolina, the state capital, Columbia,

Home to the University of South Carolina and a large population

of college students, including 21-year-old Samantha Josephson.

Samantha was warm, loving, genuine person.

She was the kind of person who was always there for her friends

willing to do anything if they needed it,

just the kind of person that you wanted your friends

and family to be around.

NARRATOR: Samantha grew up in Robbinsville, New Jersey.

She was one of two children.

She'd studied in Barcelona, Spain,

and traveled around Europe before coming home

to study political science.

Samantha had her whole life in front of her.

She had planned to go on to study law after she graduated,

so she had a real sense of going somewhere.

NARRATOR: Like any other University city,

Columbia has a well-known part of town,

with a buzzing nightlife.

Five Points is an area in Columbia where college students

like to go and let off some steam, go to some bars,

have drinks, party, dance, things of that nature.

NARRATOR: On the evening of March 29, 2019,

Samantha and a group of friends went to the Bird Dog bar.

You can see Samantha Josephson here walking through the bar.

She's there with her friends, her roommates,

having a good time, talking, laughing,

just enjoying the night out.

NARRATOR: Just before 2:00 AM, Samantha decided to go home.

So she ordered an Uber.

Samantha also had a job in addition to being a student,

and she had to work the next day.

She was never late for work.

She was never a no show.

ROBERTA BABB: She doesn't look unduly stressed or panicked.

She's calm and waiting.

There doesn't seem to be any indication

that anything suspicious, risky, or threatening is going on.

NARRATOR: At 12 minutes past 2:00, Samantha got into a car.

And it drove off.

But later that night, when her friends arrived home,

Samantha was nowhere to be seen.

By lunchtime the next day, Samantha was still missing.

Her friend called 911.

NARRATOR: As well as informing the police,

Samantha's friends took matters into their own hands.

They call the local hospitals and are unsuccessful.

They call the local jails and are unsuccessful.

They call friends.

No one knows anything or has seen or heard anything.

So eventually, they get in the car and go looking for her

themselves.

NARRATOR: Samantha's boyfriend, Greg, had been speaking to her

on the night she disappeared.

He tracked her phone, leaving the bar.

DAN GOLDBERG: The last point he saw where

her phone was was in this area near the intersection

of Montgomery and Ott.

So her roommate's drive to that location

and literally get out of the car and walk around going

door to door trying to see if anyone has seen her

or heard anything.

Unfortunately, they came up empty, as there was no sign

of her being in that area.

NARRATOR: Samantha's friends and boyfriend turned detective

and retraced her last steps.

DAN GOLDBERG: They were able to make contact

with one of the managers of the bar

in order to try to get a look at any video that

may have existed at the bar.

They were able to see video of her

and them inside the bar that night,

as well as her leaving and standing outside on the sidewalk

awaiting the Uber to come and pick her up.

As they continued to watch the video, they saw a black sedan,

four-door car pull up to the curb where Samantha

is standing by herself.

And they see her get in that vehicle

and watch the vehicle back up and pull away from the location.

NARRATOR: Her friends told the police

about the surveillance footage.

DAN GOLDBERG: The windows were tinted on the car,

so no one could see who the driver

was or anything of that nature.

Additionally, the license plate identifying the car never

came into view on the camera, so the only information

that the police had to go on was that it

was a darkened color four-door sedan that

looked like a Chevrolet Impala.

Otherwise, they had no idea anything about the identity

of the vehicle or the driver.

NARRATOR: Samantha's friends could still access her laptop.

When they logged into her Uber account,

they discovered the ride she'd ordered had been canceled.

It was clear she was picked up by a complete stranger.

The individual drive in the car

was looking for an opportunity to take advantage

of a vulnerable, lone individual, which

feels really, really scary.

That's when the tenor of things really changed

and it began to dawn on everyone that this quite possibly

was an actual kidnapping.

NARRATOR: Samantha's parents were notified

that she'd disappeared.

Dr. Roberta Babb is a clinical psychologist.

ROBERTA BABB: When a child goes missing.

For any parent, it's their worst nightmare.

Their world stops.

There's a real sense of anguish and anxiety.

Their darkest thoughts would be that their child

is no longer alive, and they will never see them again.

And that's their worst fear that they

pray with every bone in their body is not going to happen.

NARRATOR: 14 hours after Samantha

got in the car, a major discovery

in the middle of nowhere, more than 60

miles away from her home.

Two hunters who were out there looking for turkeys

stumbled across a body of a young female

and immediately called the police.

She had sustained numerous injuries, stab wounds all

over her body.

However, there was not any blood on the ground around her body,

which seemed to suggest to them that the crime had occurred

somewhere else and that she had been brought

and dumped in this location.

NARRATOR: A medical examination of the body

revealed extreme violence.

ROBERTA BABB: 120 stab wounds really signifies

the viciousness of the attack.

It probably speaks something to the mind of the attacker

in that moment because it feels very frenzied,

it feels very uncontrolled, and it feels very excessive in terms

of really wanting to ensure that this person was not only dead,

but eliminated or damaged beyond recognition.

Once the dots are connected and it's determined that that

is, in fact, Samantha, the focus shifts back

to Colombia and the police department

there trying to locate the person responsible.

NARRATOR: As detectives tracked back through the footage,

they found the car Samantha got into filmed on multiple cameras.

This car was circling the area almost like a shark,

looking for someone, looking for something until he found what

apparently he was looking for.

NARRATOR: Finding the vehicle was

critical to the investigation.

They put together a BOLO or Be On the Lookout, which

is a sheet of paper that has photos of the vehicle

that she got into.

The police also checked Samantha's bank records.

DAN GOLDBERG: Law enforcement was

able to get video from two ATM machines showing an individual

trying to get cash.

This person was wearing similar clothes in both videos.

NARRATOR: They needed to find the man and the car.



a patrol officer spotted the type

of car they were looking for.

He was approximately two blocks away from the Bird Dog,

and he happened to pull up right behind a darkened colored Chevy

Impala.

NARRATOR: Inside, a male driver and female passenger.

NARRATOR: Police were in pursuit from every angle.

He was cornered.

DAN GOLDBERG: Fortunately, another officer

was on the other end of the street--

DAN GOLDBERG: --and was able to contain and subdue the driver so

that he could be taken into custody in order

to try to identify who he is and what he had been

doing in the last 24 hours.

[suspenseful music]

NARRATOR: Back at the suspect's car,

officers also detained the female passenger.

NARRATOR: They checked inside for any evidence of Samantha

being in the vehicle.

They had flashlights looking into the interior of the vehicle

and pretty quickly observed that there

was a great deal of blood located

in the back seat of the car.

NARRATOR: The driver was identified by police.

His name was Nathaniel Rowland.

DAN GOLDBERG: Not much was known about Mr. Rowland at the time

that this occurred.

He had been arrested one time before for trying

to sell some stolen items at a pawn shop,

but otherwise appeared to come from a good family.

There was no suggestion that he was capable of anything

like this.

NARRATOR: Nathaniel was taken into custody for questioning,

his clothes removed for DNA testing.

NARRATOR: Nathaniel's last known address was close to where

Samantha's body had been found.

NARRATOR: The police tracked down Nathaniel's girlfriend.

DAN GOLDBERG: Mr. Rowland actually

been staying at her house on the night that Samantha was taken.

They went and got in bed at approximately 1:00 AM.

A short time thereafter, she describes

Mr. Rowland getting out of bed, and she fell asleep.

When she awoke at 6:00 AM, he wasn't there.

[ominous music]

NARRATOR: A search of Nathaniel Rowland's girlfriend's house

uncovered clothing which matched the person

covering their face at the ATM.

DAN GOLDBERG: Nike hoodie with some distinct drawstrings,

a black jacket, a tan shirt, black pants, some flip-flops

that were red and black.

When he was pulled over by the police on that night,

he was still wearing some of those items as well.

NARRATOR: When the police searched the trash,

they also found a two-bladed knife.

Nathaniel Rowland was also filmed in a cellular city store

just hours after Samantha was k*lled.

DAN GOLDBERG: He's wearing the Nike hoodie

with the distinctive drawstrings coming down,

the same drawstrings you can see on the ATM footage,

the same sweatshirt.

There's a sense of a lack of empathy,

a lack of remorse or guilt, a sense of entitlement

to do as you please to other people, which characterizes

the fact that Nathaniel stabs Samantha so many times

and then, within a short window, was

casually seen selling her items for his personal gain.

NARRATOR: He was charged with kidnapping, m*rder,

and possession of a weapon.

When the case went to trial, the surveillance footage

was shown to the jury in court.

One of the challenges that we had with prosecuting the case

is there was nothing to definitively show

that at the time that Samantha Josephson was in the car

and k*lled, that Nathaniel Rowland

was the one in the vehicle.

The surveillance footage was able to do that

by way of showing everything from the car itself

to Mr. Rowland at the ATM, at a cell phone store,

all wearing these similar items of clothing that

were later discovered at his girlfriend's house.

NARRATOR: The footage of Samantha outside the Bird Dog

bar was vital.

It was very possible that Mr. Rowland, without this video,

could still be walking the streets.

NARRATOR: After being presented with seven days of evidence,

the jury took just 60 minutes to find Nathaniel Rowland

guilty of Samantha's m*rder.

He was sentenced to life without parole.

The only way that Mr. Rowland will be leaving the prison

will be in a pine box.

We don't know what took place or what activated Nathaniel

to act in such a violently savage way,

where he stabbed Samantha 120 times.

But that is very much demonstrating a disregard

for life, demonstrate his propensity

for violence and aggression to the point of wanting

to annihilate an individual.

And there's a real sense of a lack of remorse

or even guilt or shame about what has been done.

As horrific as this case is, there was

some good that came from it.

Samantha's parents have been fierce advocates

for rideshare safety to the point

that the United States government has
