Yes, Uber tells you what car, color and license plate will come to pick you up. It is your job to match that information so you get into the right car.
The Uber driver knows your name as well.
Yes, there is more to this story. I am sure drugs/alcohol are involved as well.
Agree with all of your points.
Also: How about if a pal of the perp was the actual Uber driver, and upon seeing Samantha’s photo pop up on the request for an Uber at 2am, the actual Uber driver told his pal to go pick her up in his vehicle, which would have already been displaying an Uber plaque on the window?
