Murder of Sam Poss
On October 19, 2016, White and Brandon Warren were arrested on Murder charges after an 18-year-old boy, Samuel Poss, who had been missing since the weekend was found dead in the woods on the same day. Poss had reportedly had gone to White's home to fix his computer. He never made it back to his father's home.
According to Brandon Warren's arrest warrant, Sam died as a result of strangulation, suffocation, and/or stabbing. Prior to his arrest, White had posted on his personal Facebook account links mocking Samuel Poss' death.
Dakota White was convicted in 2018 of murdering Sam Poss, and given a life with no possible parole sentence.
White's lawyers argued the ruling was extreme and not justified.
But in their ruling the court ruled that prosecutors provided enough evidence to meet that standard and that the judge ruled properly.[13]
The second killer, Brandon Warren, is also serving a life sentence.[13]
