Samantha Josephson - 532
March 29th, 2019. Columbia, South Carolina. Samantha Josephson was spending the evening with her friends celebrating her recent acceptance into Drexel University School of Law and her upcoming graduation from University of South Carolina. Her long-term boyfriend was going to be moving to Columbia to live with her during law school. She had been texting her boyfriend all through the night and told him that she was getting an Uber ride home around 2 a.m. on March 29th. Samantha never made it to her apartment; her driver actually went the opposite direction. This driver wasn’t her Uber driver, it was a man that had been driving around the area hunting for a victim. She was found later that morning about an hour and a half away from Columbia with around 120 stab wounds. Investigators moved quickly to find Samantha's killer before he could harm anyone else.Get bonus content from Generation Why at: patreon.com/generationwhyListen ad free with Wondery+.

However, as the years went on, new evidence revealed that Sarah was likely railroaded and multiple pieces of evidence from her trial were fabricated. Would her legal team be able to overturn her 110-year sentence?

July 24, 2016. Bend, Oregon. After a night out at her friend’s bachelorette party, Kaylee Sawyer walked down the street outside her apartment and disappeared.

Almost three years later, while investigating a separate case, detectives interviewed Father Ryan Erickson, a Catholic priest who was serving in Hudson in 2002. He revealed information only the killer and detectives knew about the double murder. As police investigated, Father Ryan hanged himself outside of his rectory and took any means of solving Dan and James’ deaths with him. This leaves the question, did a Catholic priest kill two men?

John ignored them all, until a woman named Debra called him, asking to help intimidate a brother in law as part of a child custody battle. John took the job, and became involved in not one, but three elaborate murder for hire plots, all originating from one source; a woman he loved named Debra Banister.Get extra episodes from Generation Why at: patreon.com/generationwhyListen ad free with Wondery+.

The Vampire of Sacramento - 444
December 29th 1977. Shots ring out from a random drive by shooting in Sacramento killing a 51 year old man named Ambrose Griffin. Two weeks later a break-in happened not far from the shooting. Then on January 23, 1978, Teresa Wallin was brutally murdered inside of her home. The murder was reminiscent of a scene from 1888 when Jack the Ripper was mutilating his victims. The police scramble to find the killer but it'll take several more victims and a chance encounter with a witness at a grocery store before they get a lead. The murderer drank the blood of some of his victims which gave him the moniker of the Sacramento Vampire.
