she must have been so scared when she realized it wasn't Uber and she was trapped in the car
😢
I am,,😢😢😢😢😢😢😢so sorry for her family
She was probably drunk sadly. Had no chance.
Famished Nintendog she could have at least fought the abductor with everything she had
Jason Borunda What makes you think she didn’t?
Watching that poor girl open up that door and getting in and shutting the door is absolutely CHILLING!😭💔
My God, all I could do was scream " No!!!" Realizing the danger. When the guy steps in front of NR car, before they pull of I was just hoping she realized at that moment before he pulled off!!! If only!!
Rest peacefully Samantha 🙏🏾❤️😇
Friends, no matter what, do not let friends leave a bar by themselves! Especially at that time if the night.
Even if its the right "driver" you are still getting into a car with a stranger. And the same dangers exist
True...but at least you have a better chance of survival...at least strength in numbers.
MyNovember18 but what if they’re drunk AF?
great blue very true a woman got into a lyft vehicle and he ended up kidnapping and raping her. No woman should ride alone period. Thank god she convinced him to let her go.
Hopefully, they choose at least one person who will be the sober one for that night before they all go out. I share this with all my 5 daughters.
This story gives me chills because it could have been me. In 2016, I got into a car in Brooklyn thinking it was my Uber, and it wasn't. Not even 30 seconds after, NYPD pulled us over saying that it was an illegal cab, and that I had to get out. The officer also reminded me to be more careful. I was very young, naive, and foolish-- thank god I walked away from that situation alive. This easily could have happened to me. Rest in peace Samantha
FateAndFurie you are SO lucky.
My daughter did the same thing, on the west coast though..and the guy drove way off route and raped her😡😰
So horrible, although thankful that she’s alive... it happened weeks within this young woman’s death...
I'm glad you're okay!
May God heal this family , what a loss.
@@liyanibernier5720 yeah, we're almost as foolish as people who go around making rude and unnecessary comments online 🙄
That's why I made myself a rule to always ask the driver when i open the door which car service r u? If they answer correct i go in.
The feeling in Samantha's heart when she realised this man was not an uber driver must have been extreme terror. I only hope and pray that God was there with her an she didn't suffer much pain. I as a mom would have to hold onto this belief to get me through this horrific crime against my child. My prayers and heart go out to Samantha's parents and family.😔
He stabbed her 120 times!!! He IS A MONSTER.
HE was there with her
She suffered a lot. Nathaniel Rowland killed her with a multi-tool. That’s a very slow death. May she Rest In Peace …🙏🏻
No she didn't suffer a lot because God fortunately lets you go into shock when something like that starts happening to you I know because I had something bad happen to me beat up kicked but after the very beginning I didn't feel anything else really like a dream
IT'S to surreal it's happening
@@ShesTexan The coroner said 10-20 minutes to die after being stabbed.
I love the Barcode idea. Lyft and Uber can easily integrate that into their systems
How about you read the license plate?
@@roger8654
Sorry, intoxicated people can barely walk a straight light not to mention read a blurry license plate. Barcode is a more useful fix.
roger8654 you’re an idiot.
D J what makes you think drunk ppl are even going to be able to that? XD
@@vanessativa2418
If an intoxicated person is incapable of pointing their phone camera at a Barcode, I would suggest that person call a friend for a ride and not depend on Uber or Lyft.
Dont blame UBER . dont blame the victim.. The dude who killed her is just awful .. 😡😡
Worse than awlful..evil!! They live amongst us
@@debibarrington8348 yes they do.. Some are only here for the anarchy
Very
@mark navarro see, you're trying to be funny. But you're really not. Pathetic.
@mark navarro again, pathetic as fuck
what are the odds that you get in one wrong car and the driver just happens to be a (soon-to-be) murderer?!
He pulled into the rideshare spot- he knew what he was gonna do.
G-dawg That’s the worst luck I’ve ever heard of. More chance of being struck by lighting.
Pretty good if these asshole killers think of this idea.
He was on the prowl that night to commit murder...he was "posing" as an Uber. I do not use these services personally. I feel safer in my own car especially alone.
@@candysmith8724 you are a very smart lady. Always go out with group of friends and designate one of them as a driver. No uber.
Every time I took an Uber in the last few days, I saw that every time I ordered one it said “check your number plate to make sure it’s your Uber” and now I know why. Shocking
Samantha's parents are doing a great thing to honor her, focusing on preventing this from happening to another person, instead of dwelling in sorrow. I don't think Samantha would want her parents to be living the rest of their lives in pain and sorrow.
I hate how people are so evil. Like damn he didn’t have to kill her, he could have just told her he wasn’t an Uber driver.
Exactly, like what did she do to deserve it?
Exactly so fucked up.
That's how the world is,.
He didn't have to kill her....
A politician doesn't have to lie to you...
Your wife doesn't have to take advantage of divorce..
Preachers don't have to lie
Etc
Little good left in the world.
But he knew what he was up to before he did it
It was planned. I’m sure he didn’t plan to kill her specifically but he planned to trap someone in the backseat or his child locks wouldn’t have been activated. He’s an animal, and if it wasn’t her it would have been someone else or even more than one person. My heart aches for this family. We cannot trust people so taking Uber, Lyft, or even a taxi can’t always be safe. People need to be more aware and never ever let someone ride alone. PLAN YOUR OUTING! Have a sober friend or family pick you up, take the necessary steps to keep safe, and never let your guard down around strangers.
Don’t blame the victim.... blame the monster that chose to drive around impersonating an Uber. He ripped a lot of people’s lives apart.
I'm sorry for your loss, this is so heart breaking. You are strong parents, thank you for getting involved to change these laws.
Do any of you care that drivers are being killed and car jacked weekly?
Sorry for your lost, Samantha looks so much like her mom. May God bless your family!
yep, i though i was the only one who noticed, so sad thou
What got me is that he drove off like he knew her instead of saying wait you in the wrong car. but he plan on killing her. he just let her get in and drove away.
That part! The intent was there...SMH
He was on the hunt to kill that night watch the trial. He circled her like a shark in his car before he let her jump in and take off.
He was driving around looking for a vulnerable victim he saw her and pick her up !
@ Anna Carter, they knew of each other and he was not impersonating an Uber like the dad said, her friends dropped the ball by allowing their friend to be alone & drunk, what hapn to her was awful but he was not alone, two ppl were in the car when she got in, and she also tried to get in another car before his, he is not alone in this murder he needs to tell on all involved
@@cherriegood5350 I been thinking that this horrible crime, was perpetrated by more than one person, at least 2 !
Im so sorry what happened to her...when i first heard this story
...I immediately got upset with her friends for leaving her alone that night! Where I'm from....we never leave a girl behind
Exactly what I said! If we come together we leave together
Or she could of checked the license plate like you are supposed to and she would still be alive
It’s sad I thought the same thing how her friends left her alone, it’s so sadd
Tonya Castle Bruce how scared do you think she was?
@@chicagorob9997 Or he could have not murdered her and she'd still be alive. There's many things that would have changed the outcome, and her reading the license plate is just one of them.
My daughter is graduating this May and I can’t stop thinking that could have been my child. My heart physically aches for this family 💔🎚🙏
@Charles Charlemagne Because white men never do shit like this. #sarcasm
And I feel for you... my daughter recently got into what she thought was her Uber ride and the guy took her off the route and raped her.
She’s in college and it happened around the time as this case... 😢
I’m glad she’s alive, but it’s still terrible... she had been drinking and wasn’t paying attention, like this girl.
Excruciating lesson to learn, she’s more careful now.
Having children out in this world is the toughest thing ever...
@@Alphacentauri819 u r lying for sure .
@@itsbonkerjojo9028
Why would I lie about that?
Additionally...that’s an epic combo of arrogance and ignorance to call something a lie, when you know nothing about me. Are you god?
That’s as narcissistic a comment as I’ve ever read. Wow.
Be gone
It is so tragic, my heart breaks for these parents. My 17 yr old daughter will be going to college next year and I will surely try to educate her on these situations- what to do and what not to do.
This is awful. If you ever find yourself in this situation and the safety locks are on, this may help; pull out the head rest on the passenger seat and use the metal pins to smash the window, works if you end up in the water too! Be safe people.
Best comment award goes to you.
Thank you. I'd completely forgotten that.
Wow thanks. I didn’t even think of that
*You can see the pain in the mothers face... Very sad.. And you can hear the pain in the father's voice..*
I thought the same thing about mom. Like she is still trying to comprehend it. Prayers.
Always check license plate number on car too!!!
How very sad this happened to this precious young lady. Thank goodness she has such strong and loving parents fighting for a great cause and staying together through their daughters everlasting love ❤
My heart is broken for her family! I could not even imagine how scared she must have been. Wow, what kind of human would do that to an innocent person. I mean the creep had his child safety locks on. There ought to be a universal way for adults to know how to get out of those damn locks!
Grim Reaper fuck you. She was a political science major and a good human.
@@DarkReapersGrim Wow, really? In 2019, damnit man! Prayers for you and your hatefulness.
I wonder if he murdered before..
Everyone report the troll above.
She could of checked the license plate like your supposed to and she would still be alive
Thank you George for being kind and considerate through this interview
This isn't Uber's fault. Every passenger needs to check the front or back plates. Also before getting in the car, ask driver for their name and see if picture matches too.
Bree Lakew that’s what I always do
Bree Lakew I wish she should’ve checked the back license plate.
@anders damin what a stupid comment. This case has nothing to do with uber. All she had to do was check the damn licence plate number and she would have know this was not her uber ride
anders damin have you looked up taxi driver rapes over the past decades. There was more than a few. Just like rapes and child abuse. There are sick people in this world. That guy was going to kill someone that night wether she got in that car or not. Uber is not the problem, it’s sick people. It’s just sad.
@anders damin Every driver gets a background check so stop your lying. Drivers are being killed on a weekly basis for doing their job. Are you up in arms about that? I highly doubt. She fucked up by not doing her due diligence and look what happened. Had she checked anything she would be alive
My heart goes out to this family.
2:22 seeing her parents face made me tear up inside... and my stomach turn! No parent should have their children ripped from this world prematurely, especially from murder 🤦🏾♀️☹️
this story is heart breaking.
😞
My god could u imagine the fear she felt when she realised it was not her uber smh 💔 people need to be aware of their surroundings and never get so relax this world is a cruel evil place, my condolences goes to the family
So sad; she is so beautiful. Why did her friends left her all by herself.
My EXACT THOUGHTS! I can understand like the friends breaking up and just going separate ways... I have three girls a 30-24 and 20 and I tell them all the time... always stay with somebody walk in groups or walking in pairs it's so chilling watching that poor girl getting into that car and shutting that door I just can't imagine when she tried to open up that door how she fell it's just unfathomable!😭💔
LADIES NO MATTER WHAT, LOOK AT THE LICENSE PLATE # & PICTURE OF YOUR DRIVER. DOESN'T MATCH -DONT GET IN!.
If only common sense was that common.🤦🏽♀️
roxxylala26 ladies if your go out with friends leave with the group you came with
I sit in the back and I make sure the back of me no one hiding back there, I check the license plate, and the pic and I make sure they know my name .
These parents raised her to be trusting and loving. Her friends left her alone without support.
This is a cold world smh 🤦♂️ rip
He stabbed her 120 times and he says he is innocent, how?
How can you fix people accidentally getting in peoples car? People just gotta pay more attention.
@anders damin Thats not the issue Im talking about, try saying something actually helpful.
anders damin stop derailing sir. THIS specific case was brought on by her lack of attention.
Your comment must be for a different video, cause it sure as hell doesn’t have anything to do with the topic in the video.
anders damin trueeee!
@anders damin i just googled and you are right...i was so naive when i used to use uber now i don't but wow. Disgusting and disturbing.
anders damin Jesus fucking Christ , this want an Uber driver , sir. Take ya ass to a video about Uber driver rapes and murders.
This is so sad💔. I pray they get justice for her.
And THIS is why our parents always taught us to NEVER EVER get in a car with a stranger. I feel the same way about a taxi...you don't know who is driving and/or what kind of record they may have. My heart goes out to the parents of this young woman.
But also Uber drivers have to be safe they have no idea who is riding in their car. And uber is not soing anything to protect their drivers
@@CAR-qb3di That also goes with my mom teaching me NOT to pick up people you don't know. I think the whole Uber thing should be abolished.
No matter what they say or do the truth is that you are getting in a car with a STRANGER. Answer? Never get into a strange car by yourself.
I did that once...wheni was 17..i needed a ride home from work...regular customers put a knife to my neck. Tore my shirt off and threw me in a ditch.....then yelled and said never get in a car with a stranger again...and left me miles away from anywhere... Yes, never get in a car with ANY stranger... I feel so sad for these parents. 🤤
People have been doing it FOREVER. When someone takes a taxi, it’s still a stranger.
@@arizonadreaming4183 What a bunch of toxic psychos you ran into. Ends don't justify means.
This just shows you that your life can go away in a second. Enjoy your life to the fullest because you are never granted to live another day. Why live with hate when you can live with joy. Have a great blessings everyone.
pedro Hernandez jr thank you Pedro , you too
Lame. Rather this, drink less, be responsible.
This life is beautiful,
@@EbFilesX wtf is lame abt this .
You, too, Pedro. Be well.
I've been watching this trial and his defense is he was at a party and someone stole his car but the evidence against him is overwhelming and the murder weapon with DNA of both was found in a trash can at his ex girlfriend's home.
And now the defense rested without calling any witnesses. A waste of time and money. It's a shame how they play the system for fun. 🤬
You should also be careful not to open people's car as well. Never, ever go around at night by yourself. It is truly dangerous out there. 😱😢
Yep, this ride sharing business will surely get innocent people wack by paranoid trigger happy folks who think someone is trying to rob or hurt them
Yup. And choose your friends wisely, what kind of friend let friend uber alone at 2am.
nou yang unfortunately drinking blurs all sorts of judgements. No one is thinking straight.. I know, I’ve been in this situation
Nobody can convince me that earth isn’t hell. Nobody.
Then what do you suggest we should do ,kill ourselves?
Hell is a lot worst!
It's not Hell, but evil runs rampant. This is why I pray over my family for protection from this world.
gina morals you’re a ray of sunshine aren’t you
It truly is.
This is so sad! I still wonder why he had to kill her? Hope she rests in peace and this evil monster rots in jail!
Breaks my heart. What a beautiful young lady. May she Rest In Peace and that this tragedy does not go in vein, but opens eyes and saves others from making this mistake.
Her friends let her down by letting her go by herself. Someone should’ve been with her.
True, like Natalie Holloway in Aruba.
I want to know more about what happened. Why did he kill her? Did he plan to hurt her before she got in? What's the full story?
FreddieMercuryIsThicc
I know me too! This story sounds very weird!
I’ve never had an Uber driver not ask my name and state their name.
I've actually had it happen to me a couple times. I did check the car model, but sometimes I wouldn't even look at the tags. This story definitely reminded me to always make sure the license plate number matched!
Ask them to tell you your name!
Same
M K no don’t do that it’s dangerous for the driver and disrespectful, bc if the driver looks at the person and says there name, that person can easily claim it’s them and walk into the car and get a free ride, or worse rob or kill the driver that’s why we must stand together and stop this whatsmyname movement to protect drivers!
I’m very sad for this family... but there is already precautions; she just failed to look at them.. if you look on your phone, is the drivers license plate, color of their car, name, picture.. ask whom they’re there for. She just didn’t do these things and sadly paid with her life for it. 😢
When I lived in a city and would have to use Uber to go to and from work, I did everything by the book. I looked at the app to see what car, driver’s name and picture, follow their car on the app, and when they picked me up I always said their name and they said mine. I cannot believe this happened to this girl.
Was she coming from a party? If so, it's possible that she was inebriated and got careless!
Exactly. Sorry but she wasn't very smart
LaDolcevita I agree, the app tells you exactly where the vehicle is, the make of the car, the plate # and the driver’s info. Why did’t she look? Perhaps she was drunk? Sorry, but this was her big mistake! RIP
C M0107
Don’t say she wasn’t smart. She made a mistake and the guy was an animal. Everyone makes mistakes, including you. This could happen to anyone.
Sending positive vibes to her parents. They are sooo strong to present themselves for this interview and work towards making changes.
Awareness always comes at the end of a tragedy.. If this happens and a lot of people are sure to become defensive around-the-clock. Whether individuals or even for their friends n family. Some people do find it serious and being able to speak abt it.. I mean truly. It's the bravest thing
Her parents are so strong ❤️
Her parents have good ideas that will help us disabled riders as well. I hope they listen to them.
Mom and Dad are beautiful, no surprises there 🙏🏽🌹🙏🏽
I have no words for your loss But please remember we ALL Send our Love From England XX
rest in peace to Samantha, condolences and prayers to her family :(
Their mission should be encouraging folks to take personal responsibility for their safety. Their daughter would be alive RIGHT NOW if she had done that. Stop blaming rideshare companies for this! They aren't responsible for what happened this girl, not AT ALL.
Are you even listening?? They ARE encouraging personal responsibility. This was a fluke and many people get into their rides intoxicated and this was a sick fucked up man that was looking to kill someone.
@@Lollita23 Ofcourse I'm listening, loud and clear. Are YOU?
@@Lollita23 I heard them encouraging the car service companies to change their procedures like adding a license plate to the front of the card, having the QR code sticker to the car...
@@danjuan325 I take Lyft pretty often and you can see the lit up sign from blocks away. At least there is that.
An uber drive did just recently murder a woman. This happens, all levels of violence, in any sort of public transit or ride share including cabs. I've had my scariest experiences so far in a cab, actually. And the point of the matter is murder is not ok. It's not her fault she was murdered due to an honest mistake that people do daily.
Nothing but love and strength to these parents and any other people that have fallen victim to these type of actions. My hugest condelences and I hope changes are in affect quickly.💗😣
To the parents - I'm so very sorry for your loss. i can see what a bright and beautiful young lady Samantha was. You are very courageous for speaking out to help other young people. May God be with you .
This should've never happened and I am so sorry to this family. My heart goes out to all of them.
Sammy saved all our lives her parents are amazing rip peace angel
My deepest condolences for you loss and thank you for working so hard to make ride shares safer.
How many stars have to align that you ACCIDENTALLY hop into a killers car........
I agree I drove for Uber and I had an African American women being cautious to get into my car cause she said she wasn't sure if I was Uber or not it was really dark. But she only took precaution because she was a parole officer. I have hard time telling cars apart with their mark and also I get drunk easily because I don't drink often. Young girls needs to be more careful.
You are so right! What are the odds?
Jason Voorhees SMH it's crazy
If you're a female traveling uber alone, always take a picture of the license plate and send it to a friend before you get in.
Princess Leia Organa yeah but it was too late
Before you get in a car. Take a pic of the plates, and the whole picture of the back car. So the brand and plates are in the pic. Sent it to your family. Your friends are not always who you think they are. Your mama or papa will always be there. RIP Samantha.
Leslie T Mama and papa will not always have your back, maybe you have good relationship with your parents, but you have to consider others, just like you considered when it came to friends.
Taking a photo of a license plate won't stop you from getting murdered. DO NOT RIDE ALONE!!! ...POINT BLANK!!! ...ANYTHING ELSE IS USELESS!!
Ummm.... I think that sounds like a better Idea than it actually is. Co suffering their is a feature on your uber user app that will allow you to share every ride with someone you trust. It shows them turn by turn where you are from pick up to drop off, including all of the drivers info that is available to you the user.
I dont know what the need to take a picture of the plates would be at that point. If the plates dont match why would you even consider getting in that car?
These parents are so strong and honestly anyone could make this careless mistake poor young lady please God Bless these parents on this unselfish mission🙏🏻
How can you possibly make this mistake? You're supposed to check the plates everytime. She obviously wasn't to bright
My heart goes to her family and friends at this difficult time...
Thank God those guys found her when they were hunting. If they had not....I don't want to think about how differently this could have ended had they not found her that morning. I'm so sorry for the trauma I'm sure they endured and pray they find comfort as they need it. So often the missing are never found and families suffering is compounded by never knowing what happened. Prayers for her loved ones, I'm s sorry for your loss.
.
God Bless her. condolence's to the family & her friends may she rest in peace
My heart breaks for her family and friends. I will say, they held it together amazingly well for this interview!
Kim Altman I couldn’t agree more so sad...😣
My heart goes out to her family. No one should ever feel the pain not only she went through but her poor parents.
Blessings from one woman to the next. I remember this story. So sorry to this family. Sending blessings to them all on the road ahead , Glad justice was finally served 🤎.
Friends should NEVER leave without someone they came with. Period.
As an Uber and Lyft driver, my only concern is when your friends and family call for you or someone else and not inform the driver prior to picking them up. That is really dangerous because you have no idea who’s getting in your vehicle. My suggestion is that the individual must have a Uber/ Lyft account and must link together with the person making the request. This needs to be incorporated into the App.
I'm also surprised to learn recently (since I don't drive) that little information is given to drivers about their passengers, whereas as a rider I have enough information about the driver to go off of. Personally, we need to make it safe for both parties. I would be afraid to be a driver esp as a woman in the current set up.
Shirley Lei It is scary sometimes...that’s why I have decided to drive only during the day and only at the airports.
Susan D. Byrdsong may be they can make it that only women drive women at night to make it safer. As a female driver you could choose to only pick up female customers at night and as a female rider you could pick only female drivers at night 🤷♀️
What a terrible tragedy. You can feel the heartbreak in the eyes of her parents. They lost their beautiful baby girl. What a horrible tragedy. I am so sorry for their loss. :(
These parents are so strong and loving....So sorry for your loss..
She will forever in your hearts 💕 she’s a beautiful young lady I’m so sorry 😐 for your loss know that she is home in glory she will leave a legacy God bless her mom and dad for taking a tragedy and making it a blessings for others. God continue to bless them and heal them , Jesus be with them. RIP sweet pea 💕🙏🙏🙏
That was beautiful 👼😥✨
How many other women has he killed??
Latte Arrival Exactly. It’s not just random. He has done this before.
I'm sorry for the pain and lost of the parents,I pray she visits her parents and tell her parents she's in a happy place and alright and she loves them.
Sorry for your loss. Dont know the pain of losing a child. My prayers up for you all.
Up to this day, i still can't understand how people can be soo comfortable jumping into an unmarked private vehicle of a random someone, who signed up online to drive for that company. Even thou there are back ground checks, it still haven't stop people who had their so call back ground check, from killing, raping and kidnapping their customer in various sections of the world. Of course people will be trilled when innovation comes along and change an old school custom but with innovative change, also comes with risk. Traditional taxi cabs have a solid foundation consist of an actual headquarter with an actual boss that can yell, scream and say 'Your Fired" in your face when you mess up. Taxi cabs have that uniform structure involving paper work where all the vehicles are branded and can easily be recognise from a block away. Uber and similar companies are that innovative wild card where different private vehicles from ordinary people, who get paid via an app, don't feel the same pressure to perform and to be law abiding.
I see your point, but there have been stories of cabbies assaulting and killing customers. Using a legitimate service for nefarious purposes. "Everyone's legit"... until they're not. Conceal and carry makes the most sense, imo.
People drive taxis. People drive Uber’s. You’ll die either way if it’s your time to die. Get off your phone and pay attention.
These parents need to stop blaming state’s license plate placements, ride share, and blame their kid and then be mad at her killer
@@Master_Petes_Theater The opportunity to do evil lies within every human and of course both passengers and drivers could be the aggressor. Which means those who drive for these companies, also have that risk factor applied where a crazy passenger can attack them such as in the case of a passenger killing a 8 month pregnant female Uber driver in Arizona whom the passenger knew. My focus is on the visual aspect where you can tell someone is actually on duty when driving. Maybe the laws will demand all private vehicles place some kind of bold stickers on the sides and something on the wind shield that identifies the company assigned once on duty. Some pizza delivery joint, use regular vehicles but they place one of those magnetic things on the roof that identifies them as a Pizza delivery
@@HardBoy1 I understand, but under the cloak of all that legitimacy there lies those who use it to gain the trust of the unsuspecting. That story of the serial killer in California who had a career in law enforcement for all the years he spent in his horrific crimes is a case in point. The uniform spoke of "trust"; the parasite wearing it betrayed that symbol and used it to lure, murder, and harass his victims that did survive.
@@Master_Petes_Theater , the golden state killer didn't lure his victims in though while in uniform. He broke into homes at night so that's a lot different.
My question is why does it always take a tragedy before people scream about safety issues. All should have been aware that this could have happened when Uber was being thought of inside someone's mind?
As a person that has taken many cabs in NYC, NOLA, SF, ATL, I had a real problem for going for the Uber instead of a Cab. This is why. Much love to this family ❤️
My prayers for the family and friends of Samantha ~ peace fill their heart.. know demons are real !!!
just...heartbreaking.
How about checking the licence plate matches the digits on your uber?
Yea its amazing how you just get in a car without checking the plates or anything. Can't fix stupid
@@chicagorob9997 Exactly...there's literally nothing uber can do to correct this since that's the only real measure people have to take.
It's amazing one idiot dies due to her own stupidity yet drivers are being killed every week and noone says shit.
I pray for the parents, they are so brave. I lost my mom this year, I know how difficult it is to bear the sadness and keep walking ahead.
So sad is will save lives in the future so sorry for your loss MA she rest in peace god bless u and your family hugs from maryland and hope that sob fries
Once I was at a hotel with my kids, nieces, and nephews. I went downstairs to get something out of the car I had forgotten. Before I left the room I gave them a password for me to re-enter the room. DO NOT open this door unless you asked the password. SMILEY FACE.
It’s terrifying and tragic :// im hurt for the family
This is so much like the Kaylee Sawyer case. She had gotten into a fight with her boyfriend. Went walking while extremely drunk and a College Security SUV pulled over and offered her a ride. Seeing that he was a security officer ( written on his vehicle) she took that ride. Like police cars, she had no way to escape the back seats. He knew instantly that he was going to rape and kill her which he did as he testifies later. So tragic. The fear in these two ladies must have been horrible. This boyfriend felt horrible as well. He did search for her, but she was no where.
Prayers go out for this family 💐. How tragic
Unreal how evil some people are.... just sickening
...it saddens me that tragedy has to happen before change take place. This is terrible
God bless you unfortunately Sam he's not with us but look how she saved us all Rest in Peace Angel I am so sorry for your loss God bless you
This was a Monster lurking for a victim ! Completely heartbreaking, my heart goes out to her parents. RIP Sammie ❤
Exactly. He was trolling for a victim. It wasnt a happen stance, on his part.
What are the chances this happens? My God this is so tragic. May she RIP 💜
Omg...Eloisa Melo you are very photogenic.
D J thank you !
This could have been any of us. She just wanted to go home.
Also no tinted window for ride sharing cars
I go to South Carolina. God bless her and her parents. RIP beautiful girl, we miss you so much
My heart goes out to you, your fam, and the extended family your daughter developed.
In addition to all that you have regretfully become proponents of, I am a strong proponent of living a concealed carry lifestyle (especially women). The are so many dangerous situations that can reveal themselves in an instant.
My Heart goes out to these Parents. I to lost a Daughter who was a wife and a Momma to my Sweet Granddaughter. She's missed each and every day. I to call my other Daughter Sweet Pea. She's an Uber driver and I worry about her driving however her being a Momma to my other Granddaughter a single mother she needs the extra money. So she drives and I worry.
Sandy, I am so sorry you lost your daughter. I can not imagine loosing a child and no mother should ever go through that. My heart breaks for you and her little girl. ❤
Pls tell her to STOP driving for Uber, and help her find a SAFER way of making money... pls
It's only unsafe if she drives at night. I have a female friend that does Uber & Lyft & she only does mornings/day time. She never feels unsafe.
As i mentioned on another comment, the danger goes both ways as the driver could be the one getting attacked by a crazy passenger just as a passenger can get attacked by the driver. Think about how they claim they vet and run back ground check on the drivers but maybe something need to be designed where the app can confirm if the passenger have a criminal history, which will be relayed on the app, and leaving it up to the driver to accept or not accept that job. The way how they can run your credit history and find out your credit or the way how you can enter a social security number which can confirm who that passenger actually is etc. Something need to be designed where the app have information already stored on both drivers and passengers. I don;t know if new passengers have to register an account with those companies which will store your info on file but the danger goes both ways.
My hearts goes to the family..
I am so very sorry for your loss my heart breaks and this horrendous act of violence I pray some how you all received some type of justice
I ride these all the time it sure opened my eyes God Bless You All
