Does Charlottesville, Virginia have a serial killer?

Dashad "Sage" Smith

She was last seen walking in the 500 Block of west Main Street in Charlottesville, Virginia at 6:30 p.m. on November 20, 2012.
She had contacted Erik Tyquan McFadden and they made plans to meet near the Amtrak station.

The pair had been exchanging texts and calls for weeks and had met before.

Smith accepted money in exchange from the promise to keep herself a secret from McFadden's girlfriend.

She has never been heard from again. 

Her family reported her missing after she missed Thanksgiving dinner two days later. 

Her cell phone had been turned off.

McFadden worked at a paint store and lived in Charlottesville, Virginia. 

He left town shortly after Smith's disappearance.

His girlfriend reported him missing on November 24.

He called the police on November 27 and spoke to them on the phone, saying he was in New York. 

He said Smith never showed up for their planned meeting and he didn't know what happened to her. 

Police told him he should return to Virginia, he hung up on them.

On November 29, McFadden's girlfriend told police he was taking a bus back to Charlottesville.

The next day, however, McFadden's girlfriend said he had changed his mind. 

He emailed his girlfriend saying Smith had been blackmailing him, threatening to tell the girlfriend they had had sex. 

He said he did, in fact, meet with Smith on the day of her disappearance, but he did not know what happened to her and that Smith "had a lot of enemies."

Authorities want to question McFadden in person.

He is considered a person of interest in Smith's disappearance. 

The last sign of him was an email he sent to his girlfriend in May 2013, from an untraceable email address.

Smith is a 2011 graduate of Charlottesville High School, and took cosmetology classes. 

She was raised by her grandmother for much of her childhood.

Then she returned to her mother's care.

After her mother was deemed unfit, she spend time in foster care.

She had recently moved in with roommates in an apartment on Harris Street.

Smith's disappearance is being investigated as a homicide. 

One of Smith's roommates was caught using her food stamp card after her disappearance, and another friend was seen wearing a locket belonging to Smith.
