On November 20, 2012, Sage Smith left her home to go out for a date, but she would never return home that night. There are numerous suspects in her case, one of which is missing himself, and the police are no closer to finding Sage than they were at the time of her disappearance. The media, police, and community failed her but we can still share her case and seek justice.
