86. Missing: Sage Smith of Charlottesville, Virginia

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.
