Re-Release: Sage Smith - Part 2
November 20, 2022 marked both Transgender Day of Remembrance and the 10-year-anniversary of Sage Smith's disappearance in Charlottesville, Virginia. Sage is still missing, but her case has been classified as a homicide. The man she was supposed to be meeting that night, Erik McFadden, has also been missing since shortly after her disappearance. We are re-releasing our two-part episode on Sage Smith in hopes of getting her name out there more and generating new leads.
When a black, transgender woman went missing from Charlottesville, Virginia on November 20, 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 into 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 of 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.
If you have any information about the disappearances of Sage Smith or Erik McFadden, please contact Charlottesville Police Detective Regine Wright at (434) 977-3381, or the anonymous CrimeStoppers tip line at (434) 977-4000.
