4 years later, Faith Hedgepeth’s family still no closer to closure

Posted Sep 6, 2016
The family of Faith Hedgepeth is still no closer to having closure nearly four years after the UNC student was murdered. The 19-year-old was found beaten to death inside of her Chapel Hill apartment on Sept. 7, 2012. And to this day, her murder remains unsolved. Every September brings a somber reminder to the Warren County family. (WNCN)
