Samantha Josephson Killer (Nathaniel David Rowland)
Video surveillance footage showed Samantha Josephson getting into a black Chevy Impala around 2 a.m. on Harden Street outside of the Bird Dog bar.
According to police, On Saturday around 3 a.m., K-9 officers were on patrol looking for the suspect Impala and made a routine traffic stop. The officers asked the driver to step out of the vehicle at which time the suspect fled on foot. After a brief chase, officers were able to take the suspect into custody and realized when they got back to the vehicle that blood was inside.
SLED officials tested the blood in the vehicle, which matched the victim’s. The driver had a child seat in the back seat and had child safety locks on the car doors so the victim could not get out. There was evidence of blood in the trunk and passenger’s side of the vehicle as well as the victim’s cellphone in the passenger compartment. After reviewing all of the evidence, SLED charged Nathaniel David Rowland, 24, with kidnapping and murder in connection with Josephson’s death.
