There were two more murders, 15 miles away.

When police arrived, they found the telephones and electricity lines.

We have a weird homicide.

A scene described by one investigator as reminiscent of a weird...

A cup of murder...

Missing persons cases always leave us with more questions than answers.

On November 20th, 2012, a young girl whose life was

information and lack of media posts seems to have far more questions than answers. So if you like your coffee hot but your bones chilled,

sit back and start your day with a morning cup of murder. Sage Smith, born to Shod Laquin

Smith, grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia, and at the age of just three, went to live with

her grandmother, Miss Cookie.

Living in what the media reported as extreme poverty, when Sage was a preteen, she moved from the wrought iron fenced-in housing complex to a neighborhood where she met her very

best friend, Shakira Washington. As she got a little older, Sage came out to her grandmother

and told her that she was gay.

Miss Cookie responded by telling her granddaughter that she already knew, and through that support,

Sage, able to explore, later realized that the label of gay didn't fully suit her.

In reality, Sage, who still identified it as Deshaat at the time, was a transgender woman.

Now going by her new name, Sage struggled through school, but came out as the first in her family

to graduate. Things later took a bit of a downward turn when Miss Cookie returned her granddaughter

to her mother, and after she was deemed unfit, and Sage was

forced to spend some time in a foster home, the department paid for her to move into her own apartment.
