VA VA - Dashad "Sage" Smith, 19, Charlottesville, 20 Nov 2012

is he in holding? arrested?

No. He was questioned, released, and authorities do not know his exact current location; he is not formally accused of committing any crime. The sheriff said something about how they "should be able to track him down again" if they need to though.

Ah, I stand corrected!! I truly thought the mugshot in the press conference was a recent one. So he is a person of interest? I am shocked to learn he is not apprehended. He should be apprehended no? Justice for Sage!

It is a recent photo, but it's very clearly a CA driver's license photo and not an arrest mugshot (the tell is the blue background).

I am not American so I did not recognize the blue background as a Drivers License photo.

I see. My apologies.

No worries. I appreciate the info. It explains a few NamUs profiles I saw in CA! l

Wondering if Erik was found because you usually have to get fingerprinted for a legal name change (couldn't find verification if that's the case in Los Angeles). So even if he was using his alias on the name change form they would have found him with those.

Either way very glad there might be some traction in the case.
