Uber “What’s my name?” and “where’s my destination?” Too many strangers know names from social media. Add the second question to the campaign. savelives WhatsMyName

Seriously, who clicks 'like' on stories like this? There's nothing to like about this!

That is standard behavior for a predator. Look for isolation, weakness, and then ambush.

It's such a old saying:..IF WE COME TOGETHER WE LEAVING TOGETHER!!! PERIOD.

Never relax!!!

Heard this advice...Ask Uber driver WHO they are picking up!!! If they don't know your name, they are not your driver!

This is really a sickeningly horrifying act. She was literally trapped in the back seat of that car and brutalized by that monster. Her parents will forever be haunted by the thought of her savage murder. May time mercifully help them to cope.

The fault lies with the scum bag who attacked her. However, if she wasn’t intoxicated and if she was armed, she would’ve had a chance.

it's ashame they can't just execute the guy on the spot...

It’s not her fault at all. However please learn from this. When you go out with a group of “friends”, make sure to use the buddy system and leave together. Pair up and watch each other’s ass. It’s not fair but we live in a society where there are some POS roaming around among us.

Samantha could of may had a chance. One thing I seen in that video footage she did that was very negligent was she was too engross talking on the cell phone not aware of her surroundings or the car she was getting into, that was very dangerous.

Was the driver mooslims?

Why! I just don't understand why this girl would be alone at 2 in the morning if you're with your friends why wouldn't somebody stay with her until that Uber came it breaks my heart I have a daughter that's 23 years old I couldn't even imagine my heart breaks for this family

All Lyft and Uber drivers should have signs on their cars. A killing would have been prevented.

Uber is mentioned, but not the racial aspect of the murder case? Wonder why?

So very sad for her family, friends and school community. Senseless, totally senseless

Hate crime?

Sad

Talk about the suspect

So terrifying. 😔

This goes to show that you can’t trust anybody. Can’t take any chances.
