Three years after the murder of Faith Hedgepeth, Chapel Hill Police say they are still actively seeking her killer.

Hedgepeth was a 19-year-old UNC student living off-campus. Her roommate found her body at 11 o’clock on the morning of September 7, 2012 at their apartment at Hawthorne at the View. She had been beaten to death and left partially undressed.

Last September, to mark the two-year anniversary of Hedgepeth’s murder, investigators unsealed search warrants and publicized information about the case in an effort to garner new leads.

Police Chief Chris Blue wrote in a statement that though authorities received numerous calls and emails, they are still looking for more information.

He and others in the department insist this is not a cold case. He notes advances in DNA technology may help identify the killer.

DNA evidence from a male suspect was collected at the scene, and more than 100 people involved with the case have submitted DNA samples for comparison.

At least $40,000 dollars worth of reward money has been pledged from a number of sources for information to solve this case.

If anyone has information to provide, please contact investigators at 919-614-6363. If you call this number, you will speak directly to one of the investigators who are assigned to this case and are familiar with it. This number continues to be staffed 24 hours a day.

Anyone with information, who wishes to remain anonymous, is asked to contact Chapel Hill-Carrboro-UNC Crimestoppers at 919-942-7515 or at http://www.crimestoppers-chcunc.org.
