A man named Nathaniel David Rowland was driving the car Samantha got into, and he was charged with kidnapping and murdering Samantha, and his trial starts today. He claims he is innocent, and he is currently behind bars.
The most damning pieces of evidence that authorities found inside of Nathaniel’s car shortly after Samantha was kidnapped include her blood, her cellphone, and bleach.
Another thing authorities noticed was that the child safety locks were on in the back seat, which pointed to Samantha having been trapped inside, unable to escape.

“It is with tremendous sadness and of a broken heart that I post this,” Samantha’s dad wrote in a Facebook post.
“I will miss and love my baby girl for the rest of life. Samantha is no longer with us but she will not be forgotten.”
“It is extremely hard to write this and post it but I love her with all my heart. I could continue to write about her but it kills me. I sit here and cry while looking at the picture and write this.”
