0:03
Speaker 1: we're going to look at three progressively more disturbing stories,

Speaker 1: share the photo or photos that are famously associated with them.
0:11
Speaker 1: But before we get into today's stories, if you're a

Speaker 1: our channel internal in all notifications so you don't miss

Speaker 1: any of our weekly uploads. All right, let's get into
0:35
Speaker 1: today's stories. On August fifteenth, two thousand and three, forty
0:51
Speaker 1: one year old veteran construction worker Ron Hunt was part
0:54
Speaker 1: of a crew that was building a house in Reno, Nevada.
0:56
Speaker 1: On that particular day, ron knew before he could do
0:59
Speaker 1: any anything else on the job site, the first thing
1:02
Speaker 1: he needed to do was drill a couple of large
1:05
Speaker 1: holes in the ceiling of one of the rooms in
1:07
Speaker 1: this house. And so as soon as he got to
1:09
Speaker 1: the job site that morning, he went in the back
1:11
Speaker 1: of his truck and pulled out a six foot tall
1:14
Speaker 1: step ladder and a drill, and then walked into that
1:16
Speaker 1: particular room. Once inside, he opened up his step ladder
1:19
Speaker 1: and placed it where he wanted it, and then he
1:21
Speaker 1: tested his drill by squeezing the trigger a couple of times,
1:24
Speaker 1: and so once he knew that worked, he climbed up
1:26
Speaker 1: the ladder a couple of steps, not to the very top,
1:28
Speaker 1: but just a couple of steps, and began punching holes
1:31
Speaker 1: in the ceiling with this drill. Now, at first, these
1:33
Speaker 1: holes were very easy to punch through, but when he
1:36
Speaker 1: got down and moved the ladder to another section of
1:39
Speaker 1: this room where he also needed holes in the ceiling.
1:42
Speaker 1: When he got up there, he could not get the
1:44
Speaker 1: drill to go through the ceiling. And he didn't really
1:47
Speaker 1: get it because he knew there was nothing behind the
1:49
Speaker 1: ceiling that would stop the drill from going through, and
1:52
Speaker 1: it was just wood, so it really should be going through.
1:55
Speaker 1: And so he decided he just needed a little bit
1:57
Speaker 1: of extra leverage. He needed to really press on the
1:59
Speaker 1: back of this drill while he's pulling the trigger, and
2:02
Speaker 1: so instead of standing on the second or third rung
2:05
Speaker 1: of the six foot tall step ladder. He walked to
2:08
Speaker 1: the very top of the ladder, the kind of dangerous
2:10
Speaker 1: section you're not supposed to stand on on any ladder,
2:13
Speaker 1: and from there he was in a better position to
2:15
Speaker 1: really push this drill into the ceiling. And so he
2:18
Speaker 1: gets in position and kind of feels like the ladder's
2:21
Speaker 1: fairly stable, and then he lines up this drill where
2:23
Speaker 1: he wants it. He begins squeezing the trigger and at
2:25
Speaker 1: the same time he really pushes with all that extra
2:28
Speaker 1: leverage into the ceiling, and as he does that, he
2:31
Speaker 1: feels the drill starting to go into the wood. But
2:34
Speaker 1: at the same time, he's pushing so hard that he's
2:36
Speaker 1: not realizing he's pushing down with his feet at a
2:39
Speaker 1: bit of an angle, and at some point he pushes
2:42
Speaker 1: too hard and he causes the ladder to spill out
2:44
Speaker 1: from underneath him. Ron instinctively tried to throw the drill
2:48
Speaker 1: away from him, which is a common practice amongst construction workers.
2:52
Speaker 1: You don't want to land on your gear. It could
2:54
Speaker 1: hurt you. But he wasn't able to throw the drill
2:57
Speaker 1: far enough away from him, and worse, the drill when
3:01
Speaker 1: it hit the ground basically right underneath him. It landed
3:05
Speaker 1: on its back with the drill bit pointing straight up
3:08
Speaker 1: into the air. And so when he fell down face first,
3:12
Speaker 1: his right eye socket landed directly on the drill, and
3:16
Speaker 1: so this eighteen inch long one and a half inch
3:20
Speaker 1: in diameter drill bit impales his head, goes right through
3:23
Speaker 1: his eyeball, goes through his skull and punctures out the
3:27
Speaker 1: back of his head, and so Ron he hits the ground,
3:30
Speaker 1: but he's conscious, and so without even rolling over, he
3:33
Speaker 1: just reaches up with his hands and he feels the
3:35
Speaker 1: base of this drill, and then he traces to the
3:38
Speaker 1: drill bit and he feels it going into his eye,
3:41
Speaker 1: and then he feels around the back of his head
3:43
Speaker 1: and he feels the rest of the drill coming out
3:46
Speaker 1: of his skull, and at that point he just starts screaming.
3:49
Speaker 1: The only other worker on the job site at the
3:51
Speaker 1: time was this man named Forest, and Forrest, who was
3:54
Speaker 1: in a separate part of the job site, he hears
3:56
Speaker 1: Ron screaming, and so he runs over. He goes in
3:59
Speaker 1: the room and he sees Ron, who's now standing up
4:02
Speaker 1: cradling the drill bass, the bit, the eighteen inch bit
4:06
Speaker 1: is still poking through his head, and so Ron is
4:09
Speaker 1: looking at Forrest and then turns to the side to
4:12
Speaker 1: show him that he's been fully impaled by this thing.
4:15
Speaker 1: And Forrest is totally horrified at what he's seeing. He
4:18
Speaker 1: can't believe Ron is even alive. But then Forrest jumps
4:21
Speaker 1: into action. He rips his shirt off, runs over to
4:23
Speaker 1: Ron and kind of wraps it around his head to
4:26
Speaker 1: try to control the bleeding a little bit, and then
4:28
Speaker 1: he tells Ron to stay where he is, and then
4:30
Speaker 1: Forrest ran out of the job site, ran about one
4:32
Speaker 1: thousand feet away to the nearest house, and he was
4:35
Speaker 1: able to use their phone to call paramedics. The paramedics
4:38
Speaker 1: arrive in an ambulance a few minutes later, and they
4:40
Speaker 1: find Ron sitting next to Forest just with this drill
4:44
Speaker 1: still in his face. Ron is very obviously in shock
4:47
Speaker 1: because he's not making any sound. He's totally conscious, but
4:50
Speaker 1: he's just kind of staring blankly holding onto this thing.
4:53
Speaker 1: And so the paramedics they go over and they detach
4:55
Speaker 1: the drill bass from the drill bit, so all that's
4:58
Speaker 1: left is the actual eighteen inch row that's been pushed
5:01
Speaker 1: through his head, and then they take Ron via ambulance
5:04
Speaker 1: to a local hospital, and from there they actually fly
5:07
Speaker 1: him in a helicopter to a bigger hospital that can
5:09
Speaker 1: handle this kind of injury. And so when he arrives
5:12
Speaker 1: at this larger hospital, they rush him immediately to the
5:15
Speaker 1: operating room. And at first the surgeons attempted to cut
5:19
Speaker 1: off either end of this bit, the part that's sticking
5:22
Speaker 1: out in the front of his eye and the part
5:23
Speaker 1: that's sticking out the back of his head. But they
5:26
Speaker 1: realized once they did that there would still be this
5:28
Speaker 1: huge piece of bit that was stuck in his skull,
5:31
Speaker 1: and that would obviously be a huge problem, and so
5:33
Speaker 1: after thinking about it, they decided their best bet was
5:36
Speaker 1: just to unscrew the bit from his head, and so
5:40
Speaker 1: they gave him some morphine and then over the next
5:42
Speaker 1: couple of hours, the doctors slowly twisted this piece of
5:46
Speaker 1: metal until it finally unwound itself out of his skull.
5:51
Speaker 1: And apparently as they were doing that, Ron, who was
5:53
Speaker 1: so high on painkillers, was cracking jokes about how somebody
5:57
Speaker 1: needs to come in here and take a picture of me.
5:58
Speaker 1: I probably look so great and so miraculously Ron would
6:02
Speaker 1: survive and he would not even be paralyzed. The worst
6:05
Speaker 1: thing that happened to him is he lost the sight
6:07
Speaker 1: in his right eye. But all things considered, Ron is
6:10
Speaker 1: okay with that. The surgeons would tell Ron that the
6:12
Speaker 1: only reason he didn't die or get paralyzed is because
6:16
Speaker 1: when that drill bit went into his skull it kind
6:19
Speaker 1: of pressed his brain aside as it passed through. Had
6:23
Speaker 1: it punctured his brain when it went through, that almost
6:26
Speaker 1: certainly would have killed him, but by some unbelievably slim chance,
6:30
Speaker 1: it did not, and he survived. Here is Ron's X ray.
6:40
Speaker 1: Before we get into the next story, I want to
6:42
Speaker 1: talk about today's sponsor. Ever since I started this channel,
6:45
Speaker 1: I have been shocked at the number of home envision
6:47
Speaker 1: stories I've come across where the victims locked their doors
6:50
Speaker 1: and lived in a safe neighborhood. And so for this reason,
6:53
Speaker 1: I went out and got Simply Safe. Simply Safe is
6:55
Speaker 1: an incredibly effective and easy to use home security system,
6:58
Speaker 1: and honestly, for me, a big selling point was they
7:00
Speaker 1: don't send a company to your house to set it
7:02
Speaker 1: all up. I hate that. It's totally an inconvenience and
7:05
Speaker 1: usually you don't even know how to use the system
7:07
Speaker 1: at the end of it. So instead they send you
7:09
Speaker 1: this really neatly packaged small kit and then using their
7:12
Speaker 1: very easy to navigate app, you build the system yourself.
7:15
Speaker 1: And so for reference, it took me less than an
7:17
Speaker 1: hour to do this. Then everything worked first try, so
7:19
Speaker 1: it's very very easy to use. Also, simply Safe will
7:22
Speaker 1: fit any home. It's fully customizable. They have all the
7:25
Speaker 1: cameras and sensors for every type of door and window,
7:27
Speaker 1: and they have lots of cool extra stuff like water sensors,
7:30
Speaker 1: temperature sensors, smartlocks for doors, and they even have this
7:33
Speaker 1: really cool outdoor camera that has a massive field of vision.
7:36
Speaker 1: It's got eight x zoom, it's got night vision, and
7:38
Speaker 1: so basically at any hour of the day you can
7:40
Speaker 1: know what's going on outside and inside your home. And
7:43
Speaker 1: simply Safe professionally monitors your system all the time, so
7:47
Speaker 1: if anything were to happen, they would call the authorities.
7:49

Speaker 1: Safe system. Hu back to the stories. In two thousand
8:06
Speaker 1: and nine, fifteen year old Christina Grimmy finally caved and
8:09
Speaker 1: made her own YouTube channel. For years, her friends and
8:12
Speaker 1: family had been begging her to do this because Christina
8:15
Speaker 1: had this incredible singing voice that they wanted the world
8:18
Speaker 1: to hear, but Christina had always been hesitant because she
8:21
Speaker 1: was a bit of an introvert. But that year, Christina
8:23
Speaker 1: was feeling more outgoing, and so she took the plunge.
8:26
Speaker 1: She makes this channel, and in July of that year,
8:29
Speaker 1: she uploads her first two songs. They were both cover songs,
8:32
Speaker 1: and she was really proud of them, but when she
8:34
Speaker 1: uploaded them, they didn't get very many views, and so
8:36
Speaker 1: Christina probably was not very excited about making more videos.
8:40
Speaker 1: But a month later, she found herself really enjoying the
8:44
Speaker 1: song Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus, and so
8:47
Speaker 1: she was singing it all the time and humming it
8:49
Speaker 1: all the time, and so finally she said, Okay, I'll
8:51
Speaker 1: just film myself covering that song. So she records herself
8:54
Speaker 1: singing the song. She uploads it to her YouTube channel,
8:57
Speaker 1: her third video, and she thinks, no one's going to
8:59
Speaker 1: see it, because her first two videos no one really saw,
9:02
Speaker 1: but this video is different. It went viral almost immediately,
9:05
Speaker 1: and millions and millions of people saw it and they
9:09
Speaker 1: loved it. Christina couldn't believe it, even though her friends
9:12
Speaker 1: and family had been telling her all along, you have
9:14
Speaker 1: this great voice, you get to share it with the world.
9:17
Speaker 1: That's different than actually seeing the results of the world
9:20
Speaker 1: saying you're really great, we love your voice. And so
9:23
Speaker 1: she saw this huge opportunity and she began uploading more
9:27
Speaker 1: and more music to her channel, and more and more
9:30
Speaker 1: of her videos went viral. Over the next four years,
9:33
Speaker 1: she amassed over two million subscribers on her YouTube channel,
9:36
Speaker 1: She put out her own album, and she even went
9:38
Speaker 1: on tour with the mega celebrity pop star Selena Gomez.
9:42
Speaker 1: In twenty fourteen, Christina auditioned for the TV singing competition
9:46
Speaker 1: called The Voice. This show only allows a very small
9:50
Speaker 1: number of contestants who are all incredibly talented musicians. They
9:54
Speaker 1: get screened really aggressively before the competition even starts. But
9:58
Speaker 1: despite the very intense compet she was up against, Christina
10:02
Speaker 1: still managed to finish third overall in this competition. Now,
10:06
Speaker 1: she might have been a little bit let down that
10:07
Speaker 1: she didn't finish first, but that show did wonders for
10:11
Speaker 1: her career because the judges of this competition were mega
10:15
Speaker 1: celebrity musicians, and every time Christina was on TV doing
10:19
Speaker 1: her performance for the competition, the judges would be raving
10:22
Speaker 1: about how talented she was and that even if she
10:25
Speaker 1: doesn't win this competition, someone's going to sign her she's
10:28
Speaker 1: so incredible. And then, sure enough, shortly after that competition ended,
10:32
Speaker 1: Christina was signed to a major record label. But despite
10:36
Speaker 1: being considered a star by the masses, Christina still very
10:40
Speaker 1: much viewed herself as being a YouTuber first, which meant,
10:44
Speaker 1: despite her mainstream popularity and fame, she continued to upload
10:49
Speaker 1: songs and vlogs to her YouTube channel because she wanted
10:52
Speaker 1: to stay connected to her fans. YouTubers often upload videos
10:56
Speaker 1: that appear very amateur like, not professionally produced. Almost looks
11:00
Speaker 1: like anybody could have picked up their phone and filmed
11:02
Speaker 1: that video, and YouTubers tend to be very candid and
11:06
Speaker 1: show their personality in their videos, and so it makes YouTubers,
11:10
Speaker 1: especially these really popular ones, seem very real and raw
11:14
Speaker 1: and relatable, unlike traditional celebrities that are kind of outside
11:18
Speaker 1: of society, living in their mansions, living a totally elite
11:22
Speaker 1: and different lifestyle. YouTubers feel like they're your friends, and
11:26
Speaker 1: this was definitely the case with Christina. On her videos,
11:29
Speaker 1: she came off as very humble and gracious and kind
11:32
Speaker 1: and friendly, and so her fans truly adored her. By
11:36
Speaker 1: June of twenty sixteen, Christina was still growing in popularity
11:40
Speaker 1: when she was asked to be the opening act for
11:42
Speaker 1: this concert in Orlando, Florida that was happening later that month.
11:45
Speaker 1: She agreed, and then on the day of the concert,
11:48
Speaker 1: which was June tenth, she posted to her social media
11:51
Speaker 1: this kind of shout out to all of her fans saying, Hey,
11:54
Speaker 1: if you're in the Orlando, Florida area, come out to
11:56
Speaker 1: my show. And then after the show, I'm going to
11:59
Speaker 1: stick around and sign autographs and meet you guys. That night,
12:02
Speaker 1: the venue where this concert was happening was jam packed
12:05
Speaker 1: and most of the people were there for Christina, not
12:08
Speaker 1: the main act. And so Christina she goes on stage,
12:11
Speaker 1: she has this incredible performance. The main act goes on stage,
12:15
Speaker 1: and then around ten PM the concert ends, at which
12:18
Speaker 1: point Christina comes back out from behind stage and went
12:22
Speaker 1: right out into the crowd and began meeting her fans
12:25
Speaker 1: and hugging them and signing autographs and taking pictures. And
12:28
Speaker 1: then at ten twenty four pm, a man who was
12:31
Speaker 1: a fan of Christina's walked down from the back of
12:34
Speaker 1: the venue and kind of awkwardly gestured that he kind
12:37
Speaker 1: of wanted to get a hug. And Christina saw that,
12:40
Speaker 1: and so she smiled and she walked up to him.
12:42
Speaker 1: She opened her arms to give him a big hug,
12:44
Speaker 1: and when she got just a couple of feet away
12:46
Speaker 1: from him, he drew a pistol and he fired four
12:49
Speaker 1: shots into her head and into her body. Christina's brother, Mark,
12:52
Speaker 1: he was standing right nearby and he saw the attack,
12:55
Speaker 1: and so he tackled the shooter and he was trying
12:58
Speaker 1: to get control of this guy. Point the shooter managed
13:01
Speaker 1: to wriggle free, and then he stood up and he
13:03
Speaker 1: kind of walked backwards until he was literally up against
13:06
Speaker 1: this wall, looking at the sea of people that are
13:09
Speaker 1: totally horrified. People are screaming and running and no one
13:12
Speaker 1: knows what he's gonna do next. And then the shooter
13:14
Speaker 1: just raises the gun, puts it to his head, and
13:16
Speaker 1: pulls the trigger. There were people in the audience who
13:18
Speaker 1: were medically trained, who rushed over to Christina and they
13:22
Speaker 1: began performing CPR on her, but there really wasn't anything
13:25
Speaker 1: anyone could do. She would die that night at the hospital.
13:28
Speaker 1: Her killer was a twenty seven year old man named
13:30
Speaker 1: Kevin Loible. He, like many people, had become a Christina superfan,
13:35
Speaker 1: but his infatuation with her became a totally unhealthy obsession,
13:39
Speaker 1: and when it eventually dawned on him that he most
13:42
Speaker 1: likely would never have a romantic relationship with Christina, he
13:46
Speaker 1: came to the conclusion that if I can't have her,
13:50
Speaker 1: no one can have her. And so when Christina put
13:52
Speaker 1: that post out on social media asking people to come
13:55
Speaker 1: to Orlando to see her show and meet her after
13:58
Speaker 1: the show, he took that as an opportunity to go
14:01
Speaker 1: kill her. And so he lived in Saint Petersburg, Florida,
14:04
Speaker 1: which is one hundred and twenty miles away, and so
14:06
Speaker 1: he sees this post on social media. He grabs his
14:09
Speaker 1: two pistols, some extra ammunition, he gets a large hunting knife,
14:13
Speaker 1: and then he calls a cab. The cab drives him
14:15
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty miles northeast to Orlando, Florida, and
14:20
Speaker 1: then he gets into the venue with his weaponry because
14:23
Speaker 1: there weren't metal detectors and no one was frisking people
14:26
Speaker 1: as they came inside, and so he was in the
14:28
Speaker 1: back of the venue during the show. And then when
14:30
Speaker 1: it was over, he kind of lingered back, allowing other
14:33
Speaker 1: fans to go up and you know, kind of mob Christina.
14:36
Speaker 1: And then when there was a lull and there were
14:38
Speaker 1: less people down there with her, he strode right down
14:41
Speaker 1: the aisle and he ended her life. Here is a
14:43
Speaker 1: photo of Kevin standing in the back of this venue
14:46
Speaker 1: just moments before the show came to an end in
14:59
Speaker 1: two In nineteen twenty one year old Samantha Josephson was
15:03
Speaker 1: a senior at the University of South Carolina. She was
15:06
Speaker 1: a brilliant student who aspired to be a lawyer. Specifically,
15:09
Speaker 1: she wanted to practice international law, and so in order
15:12
Speaker 1: to do that, she needed to be able to speak
15:14
Speaker 1: other languages besides English, and so during her college years
15:18
Speaker 1: she had really leaned into Spanish and become quite good
15:20
Speaker 1: at it rather quickly. During her college Spanish studies, one
15:24
Speaker 1: of her professors was a woman named Daniella Himez. Daniella
15:28
Speaker 1: very quickly recognized in Samantha that she had this incredible
15:32
Speaker 1: intellect and work ethic and just knew she was destined
15:35
Speaker 1: for greatness. In fact, she compared Samantha to Amal Clooney,
15:39
Speaker 1: who is George Clooney's wife and is considered to be
15:41
Speaker 1: one of the most famous international lawyers ever. And so,
15:44
Speaker 1: just out of a general interest to see Samantha succeed,
15:48
Speaker 1: Daniella offered to Samantha to kind of be there for
15:51
Speaker 1: her if she needed anything beyond just Spanish, that she
15:55
Speaker 1: was there to help her with law school applications, or
15:57
Speaker 1: if she needed advice on something, or if she just
15:59
Speaker 1: had ideas she wanted to bounce off of her, she
16:01
Speaker 1: would be available. And Samantha had taken her up on
16:04
Speaker 1: this offer, and by twenty nineteen, in Samantha's senior year,
16:08
Speaker 1: the pair had become very close, forming a sort of
16:11
Speaker 1: mentor mentee relationship. Early that year, Samantha got accepted into
16:15
Speaker 1: her target law school, Drexel University in Pennsylvania, and so,
16:20
Speaker 1: after telling her mother and father, Samantha ran to Daniella's
16:23
Speaker 1: office to tell her mentor the great news, and the
16:27
Speaker 1: two hugged and laughed and celebrated right there in the office.
16:30
Speaker 1: It was clear that everything was falling into place for Samantha,
16:34
Speaker 1: and Daniella was just very, very proud of her. A
16:36
Speaker 1: few weeks later, on March twenty ninth, Samantha decided to
16:39
Speaker 1: go out with her friends for some drinks. Now, Samantha
16:42
Speaker 1: normally spent a lot of her time studying, even on
16:45
Speaker 1: the weekends. But since she was about a month away
16:47
Speaker 1: from graduation and she was already accepted to law school
16:51
Speaker 1: and really didn't have that much work since it was
16:53
Speaker 1: the end of the year anyways, she decided she could
16:55
Speaker 1: cut loose for that weekend. So she, along with her
16:58
Speaker 1: friends head out to this downtown area called Five Points,
17:01
Speaker 1: which is right near the University of South Carolina, and
17:04
Speaker 1: it's an area that's full of shops and restaurants and bars,
17:07
Speaker 1: so on the weekends it is packed with college students.
17:10
Speaker 1: Samantha and her friends hop from bar to bar. They're
17:12
Speaker 1: having a great time, and then around two am, the
17:15
Speaker 1: group found themselves in a bar called Bird Dog, And
17:18
Speaker 1: while they were there, because it was so crowded, the
17:21
Speaker 1: group of friends got separated. Now, initially the friends were
17:24
Speaker 1: trying to reconnect with each other through texts and phone calls,
17:28
Speaker 1: but they were just really struggling to locate each other.
17:31
Speaker 1: And kind of in the middle of all that, Samantha
17:33
Speaker 1: decided that she was just too tired and didn't really
17:35
Speaker 1: feel like staying out any longer, and so she texted
17:37
Speaker 1: her friends and let them know that she was going
17:39
Speaker 1: to head back to her room. So Samantha leaves the
17:41
Speaker 1: bird Dog Bar on her own, she hops in an uber,
17:44
Speaker 1: and she starts driving back towards her campus. Several hours later,
17:48
Speaker 1: after all of Samantha's friends had also finally gone home
17:51
Speaker 1: and then woke up that following morning, they realized Samantha
17:55
Speaker 1: was not in her room, and so they called her.
17:57
Speaker 1: She didn't pick up. They started asking around to other
18:00
Speaker 1: friends who might know where she was, but no one did,
18:02
Speaker 1: and so pretty quickly Samantha's friends were very, very worried
18:05
Speaker 1: about her because the last they had seen her she
18:07
Speaker 1: was leaving the bar on her own, so they were
18:09
Speaker 1: really worried something might have happened to her, and so
18:12
Speaker 1: by one thirty pm that day on that Saturday, the
18:15
Speaker 1: day after they had gone out, they called the police
18:18
Speaker 1: and reported her missing. At the same time that Samantha
18:21
Speaker 1: was reported missing. There were these two men who were
18:24
Speaker 1: in their mid twenties that were located seventy miles to
18:26
Speaker 1: the east of the University of South Carolina. They were
18:30
Speaker 1: out in this forest and they were hunting for turkeys.
18:32
Speaker 1: Earlier that day, these two men whose names were Anders
18:35
Speaker 1: and Ryan, they had had no luck actually finding these birds.
18:39
Speaker 1: Since they were getting frustrated, and so by the afternoon
18:42
Speaker 1: they had split up and were kind of combing this
18:44
Speaker 1: forest on their own to see if they would have
18:46
Speaker 1: more luck solo. And so Ryan he posted up next
18:49
Speaker 1: to their truck which was parked on this dirt road
18:51
Speaker 1: that was butted up against the edge of this big forest,
18:55
Speaker 1: and Ryan with his binoculars was scanning out across this
18:58
Speaker 1: field that butted up against the tree line of forest,
19:00
Speaker 1: and he was kind of scanning the tree line, but
19:02
Speaker 1: he still was having no luck finding any turkeys. And
19:05
Speaker 1: then Anders, he actually had walked into that forest which
19:09
Speaker 1: is right next to Ryan, and he was just kind
19:11
Speaker 1: of walking around looking for the birds as well, but
19:13
Speaker 1: he too was still having no luck. And so around
19:16
Speaker 1: four thirty pm, Anders, who's the one in the forest,
19:19
Speaker 1: He finally is just ready to admit defeat and leave
19:22
Speaker 1: empty handed, and so he turns around and begins walking
19:26
Speaker 1: out of the forest in the direction of Ryan. And
19:29
Speaker 1: so at this point he's maybe one or two hundred
19:31
Speaker 1: feet away from Ryan, but the trees are very thick
19:33
Speaker 1: and they can't really see each other, and so Anders
19:35
Speaker 1: is just kind of walking in that direction. He's not
19:38
Speaker 1: looking for birds anymore, so he's not scouting around. He's
19:40
Speaker 1: just kind of looking straight ahead. And as he's walking,
19:43
Speaker 1: something catches his eye off to the left, behind some trees.
19:46
Speaker 1: It was pretty far away, but he instinctively turned and looked,
19:49
Speaker 1: and he couldn't really tell what it was. It wasn't
19:51
Speaker 1: a turkey, but it wasn't anything that should have been
19:53
Speaker 1: in the forest, and so he decided he would go
19:55
Speaker 1: get a better look. And so he turned away from
19:58
Speaker 1: Ryan and went left and started cutting through the trees.
20:01
Speaker 1: And he kept walking until his view of this thing
20:04
Speaker 1: was no longer obscured by trees. And when he got
20:07
Speaker 1: a full look at this thing that had caught his attention,
20:11
Speaker 1: he stopped where he was. He yelled for Ryan, who
20:13
Speaker 1: couldn't see him, but he yelled for him to come
20:16
Speaker 1: into the woods and look at this. And as Ryan
20:18
Speaker 1: is running into the forest to see what's going on.
20:21
Speaker 1: Andrews is pulling his phone out and calling the police.
20:23
Speaker 1: When the police finally show up, they find Anders and
20:26
Speaker 1: Ryan and they're very shaken up and they're sitting on
20:28
Speaker 1: the back of their truck on that dirt road where
20:31
Speaker 1: Ryan had been. And so the police pull up to them.
20:33
Speaker 1: They speak to them and get directions of how to
20:36
Speaker 1: get to what they saw inside of the forest, and
20:38
Speaker 1: then the police officers walk into the forest. They follow
20:41
Speaker 1: the directions and before long they're looking down at Samantha.
20:44
Speaker 1: Fourteen hours before her body was discovered. Samantha left the
20:49
Speaker 1: bird Dog bar and walked out front where there's lots
20:51
Speaker 1: of other students, and she walked to this corner of
20:54
Speaker 1: this road right in front of her, and she hailed
20:57
Speaker 1: an Uber and then the Uber car pulls up, she
20:59
Speaker 1: hops in, and then the car backs up and drives away.
21:02
Speaker 1: Except that was not an Uber car. That was a
21:05
Speaker 1: car driven by a twenty four year old named Nathaniel Roland,
21:09
Speaker 1: who was not an Uber driver. He was a guy
21:11
Speaker 1: who had been driving around five Points all night, presumably
21:15
Speaker 1: to try to trick people into getting into his vehicle,
21:19
Speaker 1: believing it was an Uber and Finally, his plan had worked.
21:23
Speaker 1: He had pulled in right in front of Samantha. She
21:25
Speaker 1: thought it was her car. She climbed in without question,
21:28
Speaker 1: and then once she was inside, she couldn't get out
21:30
Speaker 1: again because the doors were child locked. There was no
21:33
Speaker 1: way to open them unless they were opened from the outside. Now, initially,
21:36
Speaker 1: Samantha wouldn't have noticed this. She just sat in the
21:39
Speaker 1: back seat. The car backed up, it started driving, except
21:42
Speaker 1: it didn't drive towards her campus. It drove the opposite direction.
21:46
Speaker 1: And the drive from this bar to the campus was
21:49
Speaker 1: only a couple of minutes long, and so even if
21:51
Speaker 1: she wasn't really paying attention, she would have recognized fairly
21:55
Speaker 1: quickly they were going the wrong way, because again, she's
21:57
Speaker 1: expecting to get dropped off within a couple of minutes.
22:00
Speaker 1: Now we don't know what actually happened inside that car
22:03
Speaker 1: in terms of how Samantha actually handled this realization that
22:07
Speaker 1: he was taking her the wrong way. We don't know
22:09
Speaker 1: if she confronted him. We don't know if she tried
22:11
Speaker 1: to open the door and then realized it was child locked.
22:14
Speaker 1: We just don't know. All we know is that Nathaniel
22:17
Speaker 1: drove Samantha to some isolated area, most likely seventy miles
22:22
Speaker 1: to the east near that forested area where her body
22:25
Speaker 1: was found. And then once he parked wherever he was,
22:28
Speaker 1: Nathaniel pulled out a knife and then leapt into the
22:31
Speaker 1: backseat of his car where Samantha was trapped, and he
22:34
Speaker 1: stabbed her one hundred and twenty times. And then after
22:38
Speaker 1: he was finished stabbing her, it would take Samantha over
22:41
Speaker 1: ten minutes to finally die. Within hours of dumping her
22:45
Speaker 1: body in the forest, Nathaniel was posting these normal posts
22:48
Speaker 1: on Facebook of him in front of his car and
22:51
Speaker 1: regular status updates, and he was having very normal interactions
22:55
Speaker 1: with his family and his friends, as if he was
22:57
Speaker 1: completely unaffected by this this horrible crime he had just committed.
23:02
Speaker 1: Nathaniel was arrested within twenty four hours of the discovery
23:05
Speaker 1: of Samantha's body. While he never offered any motive for
23:09
Speaker 1: the crime, it's believed he simply decided that night he
23:12
Speaker 1: was going to go kill someone, and so he just
23:15
Speaker 1: began prowling around for a victim, and unfortunately, Samantha was
23:19
Speaker 1: just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nathaniel
23:21
Speaker 1: was ultimately convicted of her murder and was sentenced to
23:24
Speaker 1: life in prison. Here are the final images of Samantha
23:27
Speaker 1: as she climbs into Nathaniel's car. So that's going to
