It was 2019. Samantha Josephson was 21 years old. She was about to graduate from college and just got accepted into law school. Life was good, but what no one knew was that Samantha's life was about to end. And clues to what happened to her in those last moments were caught on video.
deep dives hi everyone welcome back to my channel my name is kimberlea if you've never been here before nice to finally meet you today i want to introduce you to samantha josephson she was born august 13 1997 and raised in robbinsville new jersey she was the second daughter born to marcy and seymour josephson Her parents met when they were in college. Seymour was working at a supermarket that Marcy went to all the time, and Marcy would purposely use his lane when she was checking out. Two years after Marcy first saw Seymour in that store, she was introduced to him by a friend. When they walked past the store one night, Seymour was like, hey, I used to work there. And that's when Marcy remembered that he was the cute guy behind the counter.
I love love stories like theirs. Sydney is Samantha's older sister. She was born 20 months before her and they were very close. When Samantha was first born, Sydney would only refer to her as baby. Samantha Josephson was everybody's best friend. She got along with everyone. To her friends, she was known as Sammy, and her family as Sweet Pea. Samantha was goofy, she was silly, and she was the life of the party. And although Samantha had a playful side, there was another part of her that was fiercely loyal and serious. One of Samantha's friends, Jessica, would always say that no one knew what Samantha was up to when she was exploring and playing, but she was an enormous amount of fun and she was feisty and funny.
So much so that Samantha's friends would call her silly antics Sammy-isms. As a teenager, Samantha loved Justin Bieber. At one concert, she covered her face in face paint in order to catch the pop star's attention. One of Samantha's college professors described her as trying to improve daily. She was always trying to better herself. In 2015, Samantha graduated from Robbinsville High School and studied overseas in Barcelona in 2018. And she took this trip with her sister, and there are so many really awesome Facebook posts that they made together. I'm gonna show you some of them up on the screen. Their parents were so proud of the fact that they were traveling together, learning together, and that they had such a close relationship.
When Samantha was a child, she was interested in beauty and cosmetics,

and she even considered studying cosmetology. She practiced doing her hair and her makeup, and she even did this with her mom and her sister before she decided on a completely different career path. Samantha had big dreams and big aspirations. She was determined to change the world. Whatever Samantha's future career path might have been, she wanted to make a difference. And that's when she decided she wanted to become an attorney. Since Sydney and Samantha were so close in age and only pretty much one year apart in school, Marcy told Samantha to take everything in that she could from the schools that her sister was visiting. From New Jersey, the family flew to South Carolina to tour the University of South Carolina.
While Sydney ultimately chose to go to another university, the school made a very strong impression on Samantha. samantha knew this is the college that she was going to attend after she was done with senior high school and no one was surprised when she received her acceptance letter to the university of south carolina the following year marcy and seymour were initially reluctant because they didn't want to send their daughter so far away she was born and raised in new jersey she was a jersey girl but they discussed it in depth and having lived in the northeast her whole life seymour knew that the south was different from the northeast he felt like samantha had to take a new journey especially as a jewish woman he thought it would be good for her to be in a world that was completely different than the one that she already knew marcy and seymour also worried about their daughter's safety what parent doesn't these days especially when they're sending their children off to college in another state but they agreed that the university of south carolina was likely safer
