Family of slain UNC student Faith Hedgepeth desperate for answers nearly 8 years after her murder
Posted Apr 23, 2020
Faith Hedgepeth would have been the first person in her family to graduate from college. An honor student in high school, she earned a Gates Millennium Scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina and hoped to become a pediatrician. But that dream ended tragically in the early morning of September 7, 2012, just weeks before her 20th birthday.
