\n*** Content warning: Sexual assault ***
\n[Part 1 of 2]
\nWhen 17-year-old Shari Smith disappeared from the end of her family's driveway in Lexington, South Carolina, there were immediate concerns for her wellbeing. Shari had a rare medical condition that could turn fatal without her medication.\xa0
\n
\nBut any concerns that Shari\u2019s illness could have caused her disappearance were quickly quashed after the Smith family received an odd phone call, prompting the largest manhunt in South Carolina\u2019s history. As the taunting calls continued, the question remained - where was Shari? And was she still alive?
