Original: 14 years after her murder, family of Faith Hedgepeth finally has closure
Faith Hedgepeth, a University of North Carolina student, was murdered in 2012. Fourteen years later, her family says it finally has closure after the resolution of her case. The killing, which went unsolved for years before an arrest was made in 2021, drew sustained attention in the Chapel Hill area and among Native American communities, as Hedgepeth was a member of the Haliwa-Saponi Tribe.
