19-year-old University of North Carolina student Faith Hedgepeth was brutally murdered on the morning of Sept. 7, 2012, in an off-campus apt. To this day, despite LOTS of evidence and suspicions, the case remains unsolved. It is my hope that a collaborative Web effort ("hivemind") may accomplish what law enforcement has been unable to do in two long years… solve this vicious, senseless crime. In recent years Web collaboration of 100s, has been the tool allowing many decades-old problems in science to be solved in a matter of months; it can work for solving crimes as well. On behalf of Faith, her friends, and loved ones... let's DO IT!

Here are links to several of the podcasts/sites that have covered the case in recent years (and of course you can google for many more news reports) -- I would caution though that virtually all podcasts and extended treatments of this case (including this blog!) have some facts wrong, and are highly speculative:

ALSO, because of the heavy suspicion usually directed toward Karena Rosario, I'll leave a permanent link to this longish "Defense" of Karena that has been offered by a reader:

The Note...


There are, as mentioned earlier, a plethora of perplexing, sometimes cryptic, aspects to this exasperating case. Perhaps it's worth focusing some posts on different single conundrums and see if any good can come from it. At least I'll give it a try.

We'll start with the confusing bag-note left behind at the crime scene, presumably by the killer(s). Right away we're starting with an assumption, since it's possible the bag and note have nothing whatsoever to do with the murder, or has something to do with it, but was NOT written by the killer. I'll trust the prevailing view though, that it is tied directly to the killer(s): Again, it reads: "I'M NOT STUPID   BITCH   JEALOUS"

There have been all kinds of possible interpretations of what it means, how it should be read, who it may be directed towards, why it was written, etc. etc. All the way from, it was written by a woman, to it is a deliberate red-herring composed to throw investigators off-track, to it is the incoherent, rage-filled scrawl of a drunken psychopath out-of-his-mind... or, of course the angry words of a devious murderer directed at a specific person.

I'm not interested in listing all the possible interpretations already mentioned elsewhere, BUT if you have what you believe to be a NEW or little-considered interpretation for the note, please let us know… OR, if, among those many decipherings already out there, you believe there is a really STRONG case to be made for one particular meaning over all others, make that case.

ALSO, beyond the meaning of the note, much has been written about other aspects of the note as well -- the fact that it's on a fast-food bag, and in particular, the letter-formations, also the possible timing of when it was written... if you wish to dissect some aspect other than the meaning, please feel free to...
Anyone?
