However, Sam never showed up at her parents on the day they were supposed to take her to rehab. After three days of calls and trying to get into her apartment, her parents finally got in on Nov. 9, 2011, and found Samantha murdered and stuffed into a closet.

An investigation began by the Maine State Police and Jesse was a prime suspect, but the lead never panned out, as Jesse was in jail at the time of Sam's killing. He was in jail for assaulting Sam’s boyfriend, who she met after they split up.

Fingers then started pointing to the new boyfriend. However, the new boyfriend was in jail for assaulting Sam, True Crime Daily stated.
