Police Chief on Faith Hedgepeth Investigation: 'This is Not a Cold Case'

Posted May 3, 2013

A chancellor resigned, and we’ve welcomed a chancellor-elect. Babies born just after Labor Day are now crawling. And yet her killer walks free, even though DNA from a male suspect was discovered at the scene. (Chapel Hill Magazine)
