Faith Hedgepeth: What to Know About the Murder Trial

Faith Danielle Hedgepeth was 19 years old and studying at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill when she was killed inside her Durham apartment in September 2012. Investigators recovered DNA evidence, a handwritten message, and other clues from the scene, but the case remained unsolved for years. Now, 14 years later, Miguel Salguero Olivares is on trial in connection with Faith’s death. He is charged with murder, burglary, rape, and sexual offense, and he has pleaded not guilty to all charges. There has not yet been a verdict. In this episode, we review Faith’s final night, the evidence investigators collected, the years long investigation, and the case now being presented to a jury. It is a full catch up for anyone starting to follow the trial now. Thank you to this week's sponsors! Upgrade your sleep with Boll & Branch.
