Sage Smith, a 19-year-old transgender woman, was living her authentic life and pursuing her dreams when she vanished on November 20th, 2012, just 11 days after publicly coming out as female. Sage was the first in her family to graduate high school and had recently moved into her own apartment while studying to become a cosmetologist. Her disappearance remains a chilling mystery, with suspicions swirling around her last known contact, Erik McFadden, who has since gone missing as well. Despite extensive investigations and a $20,000 reward, Sage’s case remains unsolved, leaving her family desperately seeking answers and justice.
