Though Erica Heather Smith died nine years ago, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is still trying to find her killer. The 14-year-old Ashburn resident had met an older guy who had been on a family vacation in Europe right before she disappeared, according to her friends.

On July 29, 2002, she called her boyfriend and told him that the guy who had been in Europe was back and would be take her shopping for clothes that afternoon. After getting another phone call, Smith left home.
