Smith, who is a transgender woman, was 19 at the time. She was believed to be meeting with 29-year-old Erik McFadden.
Police wanted to question him, but in the months after Smith disappeared, he too went off the grid and was classified as a missing person.
Smith's disappearance was eventually classified as a homicide, but her body has never been found.
Diamond Stylz, executive director of “Black Trans Women Inc,” joins Laverne McGee on “Making the Case” to discuss the case.
