Family of Samantha Josephson advocates for rideshare safety after murder by fake Uber driver
Fox News
Seymour Josephson, the father of murder victim Samantha, explained how he is ensuring rideshare safety through a mobile app to prevent the tragic death of his daughter from happening to someone else.
Samantha Josephson, a 21-year-old senior, was kidnapped and murdered when she was targeted by a person posing as a rideshare driver on March 29, 2019. She mistook his car for an Uber ride and was never again seen alive. Covered in roughly 120 stab wounds, her body was later found in remote woods about 65 miles from her pickup location. The death cast a national spotlight on ride-hailing safety and led to some changes, including more prominent displays of driver’s license plates. "Immediately following this unfathomable tragedy, Samantha's parents, Seymour and Marci Josephson set out to educate others on the importance of rideshare safety so that no other family would have to suffer this kind of loss," according to the "What's My Name Foundation’s" website.More Related News
