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:

Moving Onward...

 I suspect there may not be a lot more news forthcoming on this case unless/until there is another arrest made (which I do expect) or the trial begins (a looong way off), except for the possibility of leaks to the press. [of course, read through the previous post if you have not done so already]

Here are two further news links for the time being, the first on forensic genealogy (undoubtedly utilized in this case), and the second on the current suspect Olivares:

Still, so very many questions outstanding, and I'll continue to add links/comments here as I see fit (as done in previous post), until something warrants a separate new posting.
