Keeping Faith: Family and police grapple with Hedgepeth’s unsolved murder years later

Posted Sep 6, 2019
In the early morning of Sept. 7, 2012, UNC junior Faith Hedgepeth was beaten to death in her off-campus apartment. Seven years later, her murder is still unsolved. The seven-year anniversary brings Faith’s memory back to the forefront, but there is still no justice for the former 19-year-old student and member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe from Hollister, N.C. (Daily Tar Heel)
