HERE For Faith Hedgepeth...: March 2021

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

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:

Deja Vu... review of the case

Sorry, nothing really new, but for anyone new to the case, or who needs a refresher, the Durham Herald-Sun has put out this review/summary of the case (including at end a link to many of the key released documents):

Not sure of the timing of this story??? Or if it means anything? Usually this sort of synopsis would appear closer to the crime’s anniversary date in September, so end of March seems a little odd…? Anyway, a good quickie review.
