Summary

When a black, transgender woman went missing from Charlottesville, Virginia in 2012, her family was appalled by the lack of a police investigation, despite having a solid person of interest. In Part 2 of our look at Sage Smith's disappearance, we talk about the investigative timeline, Erik McFadden, the main person of interest, as well as some other possible suspects. Sage Smith has received a fraction of the coverage as white women who went missing from the same area at the same time, but her story deserves to be told. Sage Smith has a family who loves her, and they deserve answers and accountability.

0:00.0	Last week, we brought you the story of 19-year-old Sage Smith, a transgendered woman who went missing from Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2012.
0:15.3	On the night of November 20th, Sage was supposed to meet a man she'd been seeing and then go to her family's house
0:20.8	for Thanksgiving the next day. But when she never returned to her apartment that night or
0:26.0	showed up for the holiday, her family knew something was wrong. Did Sage meet foul play at the hands
0:31.6	of Eric McFadden the man she was supposed to meet? Or did someone else cause her disappearance?

1:29.2	Welcome back.
1:30.0	Thank you for joining us for part two of the Sage Smith story.
1:34.9	This is a case that has gotten some publicity, but not nearly the amount that similar cases of white women who went missing in the area received.
1:44.7	And we're going to talk a lot about that today because there are glaring differences
1:50.0	between both coverage and the police investigation.
1:53.6	And these are things that need to be talked about.
1:57.2	So to the person who said they were tired of hearing us talk about race.
2:00.9	Should probably turn the podcast off now.
2:03.2	Sorry.
2:04.3	Not sorry.
