Welcome back crime junkies. I'm Ashley Flowers and I'm Britt and as always our

program is brought to you by Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana and I have some

exciting news. Crime Stoppers is participating in a big nonprofit event here in

downtown Indianapolis on June 14th 2018. That's this coming Thursday. So if you

guys want to come out and meet me learn more about the Crime Stoppers program. I

have all of the information on our website crimejunkiepodcast.com. I hope to see

some of you out there.

Britt the story I have today is about the disappearance of sage Smith. This is

one that I remember coming across my Facebook feed a lot in like 2015-16-ish

and I'm sure you saw it too because we get a lot of the same stuff and after this

quick flurry of information I never really heard anything else about it

until there was a TV special that came out recently and I thought I have to

talk about this on crime junkies. Yeah I remember reading a pretty extensive

article on it a while back and it was a lot to take in. Yeah it's a ton of

information it's it's a really kind of confusing case and there's all these

different players but again nothing really happens. So sage's story takes place

in November of 2012. She is a trans woman who lives in Charlottesville, Virginia

and at the time she was 19 years old and really learning but to become

independent. She had just graduated high school recently and she's now in school

for Cosmetology and got in her own apartment with two other trans girls one

named Shakira and one named Aubrey. On Monday November 19th all of the girls

decide to throw a party for Shakira's 19th birthday. Oh it's her golden birthday
