Summary

Sage Smith was a 19 year old transgender woman when she disappeared from the downtown area of Charlottesville, VA on November 20, 2012. In today’s case we discuss her background, the circumstances surrounding her case, and question why her story has not been as told as other missing teen’s cases. Sage, and someone else closely related to the case, are still missing.

The investigation into the disappearance has turned into a homicide investigation and the police, as of 2018, consider Erik McFadden a suspect again. But as you will listen you will learn of many suspects.
