86. Missing: Sage Smith of Charlottesville, Virginia

Reverie True Crime

19-year-old Sage Smith was on her way to meet 21-year-old Erik McFadden for a date on the evening of November 20th, 2012. Her stepsister is sure she saw her around 6:40PM on the phone, down the street from the bus stop she was at. That lines up with the phone records, too. From there…Sage disappeared. This case gets so strange because a lot of people start to disappear. What is happening? Where is Sage? Her case officially went from a missing person investigation to a homicide investigation in 2016.
If anyone has any information regarding Sage’s disappearance you are urged to call the Charlottesville Police Department [phone] or call the WE HELP THE MISSING -TIP LINE [phone]
There‘s a $20,000 reward for anyone who can tell authorities where her body is or who is involved with her disappearance that leads to an arrest.
