faith hedgepeth was a promising college student, living her best life near the university of north carolina, chapel hill, until it was all cut short in a brutal slaying. faith's murder would go unsolved for nine years, until a stunning development led to a suspect that wasn't on anyone's radar. >> the last pictures because this would be right before she got murdered. >> you could say roland hedgepeth's home is a museum dedicated to faith, a name that fills his walls, his shelves, his thoughts, even his voicemail recordings. >> i love you a lot. and i guess i'll talk to you later. bye. >> faith was the light of my

life. she was born at a really tough time during my life, and i have always thought that she was just a gift from god to give me a reason to live. >> faith hedgepeth, much loved by her family and her native american haliwa-saponi tribe in north carolina. >> she was. >> a very. >> lively person, just friendly to everyone. i just want to give to people, give back to her community. she loved people. >> at 19 years old, faith was aiming to be the first in her family to graduate college, living in an off campus apartment near the university of north carolina in chapel hill. she dreamed of becoming a doctor. then someone took her life. >> it's been very hard learning of how faith died. she was beaten. she was bludgeoned to death. >> i don't know how i can

function after i hurt. after i got the news. all i remember was crying uncontrollably for a long time. >> for faith that began as a typical busy day of classes on the unc campus. she hit the library with her friend and roommate, karina rosario, and then was off to the local hangout. just after midnight, a club called the thrill, where they met some guys. according to faith's friend karina, the two arrived back at their apartment at about 2:30 a.m. faith fell asleep, but karina was later picked up by a friend and left the apartment. but when karina returns the next morning around 11 a.m, the place has been transformed into a bloodbath. >> in durham 911 where is your emergency? hi. i just wanted to say apartment and my friend, just like, is unconscious. he's unconscious. i just walked in the apartment and there. looks like there's blood everywhere. okay, listen to me. when you touch her, how does she feel? does she feel warm? no, she's

still cold. she feels cold. okay. yes. okay. all right. don't touch anything else. okay. >> detectives arrive and find faith naked from the waist down with a black t-shirt pulled over her head. they begin the painstaking task of securing the crime scene and the painful calls to her divorced parents. >> i dropped the phone. i put my head down, and i cried, and i said, no, not my baby. >> connie told me that i needed to come to chapel hill, that the police had found faith dead. >> it shouldn't have. >> happened to her. >> i broke down after that. >> it was a tough day. >> but even more painful would be the weeks that turned into months and finally years with no real suspects or arrests. >> if anyone was. >> in the area and saw something. >> that they thought, no. >> matter how insignificant it might have a connection, we would hope that they would come forward. >> i believe she knew her

killer. >> police reports reveal faith may have been sexually assaulted. one of the many people detectives questioned early on was eric decoy jones, an aspiring rap artist and a former boyfriend of faith's roommate karina rosario. according to police reports, the relationship between eric and karina was troubled. >> if i took karina to take out a restraining order, i think that very possibly tucker may have had some ill feelings toward faith for doing that. >> but eric willingly cooperates with police. his apartment and car are searched for evidence, but eric comes up clean on all accounts, and his dna doesn't match any found at the scene. police then test the dna of many other young men. some of them were at the nightclub where faith and karina had partied. none was a match. >> i've been told that some of the sports teams were tested. i've been told that every male

in the apartment complex was tested. >> complying with a freedom of information request. police finally released a trove of documents, many of them redacted, with names blacked out. most disturbing to the family is not what they find in the new information, but what is missing. >> it was about two years before we got the autopsy results, and i'm not quite sure why they want exactly say she was raped. >> police documents showed another possible clue. >> two years went by before we knew anything at all about the note that was left on the bed. the note said, i'm not stupid. jealous? >> roland says, a cryptic note in childlike handwriting was left sitting by faith's lifeless body. we asked a handwriting expert to give it a good look. >> what struck me. >> was how. >> clean the document is. the crime scene was pretty bloody, and there's nothing on this document. looking at it, i would

get the impression it was either written outside of the crime scene, or it was written before, like a premeditation. >> handwriting analysis can't determine gender or age, but it could answer some important questions about who wrote the note. >> when i look at block letters, the writer distances themselves from authority is all about themselves. it's me, me, me. even at the cost of someone else. >> and the true emotional state of the writer can be found back at the beginning of the note. the word. >> and sentence phrase. i'm not stupid is a hot push button factor. that's probably the most important thing said. this was a jealous person who was called stupid. the person that said it who is now deceased has no way of repeating this person is stupid, which is another way to

shut them up. >> did someone have a vendetta against faith hedgepeth? coming up, cops get the big break that they'd been hoping for. did they finally catch faith's killer? the chapel hill p ice department has never given up on this case. >> if you have wet amd you never want to lose sight of the things you love. >> we get it. >> some things should stand the test of time. long lasting elías hd could significantly improve your vision. more people on ilia hd had no fluid in the retina compared to those on ilia at four months. ilia hd is the only wet amd therapy that helped. eight out of ten people go up to four months between injections after three initial monthly treatments. if you have an eye infection, eye pain, or redness or allergies to ilia hd, don't use eye injections like ilia hd may cause eye infections,

separation of the retina, or rare but severe swelling of blood vessels in the eye. an increase in eye pressure has been seen. there is an uncommon risk of heart attack or stroke associated with blood clots. the most common side effects were blurred vision, cataract, corneal injury, and eye floaters. and there's still so much to see if you are on ilia or a similar type of treatment, ask your retina specialist about ilia hd today for the potential for fewer injections. >> if there's a true crime you think we should know about, call th true crime news tip

>> begin a new career as a visiting angels caregiver. >> apply today. >> visiting angels america's choice in home care. >> we choose walden university so we can focus on what truly matters, and we do it on our time. get the w walden university. set a course for change. >> we're back with the murder of faith hedgepeth. bludgeoned to death near the university of north carolina in chapel hill. for nine long years, investigators tried to figure out who could have been responsible. and then a routine traffic stop ended in the arrest of a surprising suspect. >> he still lives in my heart and in my mind all the time. >> faith hedgepeth father wondered if he'd lived to see the day police would arrest someone for his daughter's vicious death. it would take

nine years. but finally, the case blew wide open. >> sometimes justice is swift. >> other times it takes longer. >> a lot longer. for almost a decade, police couldn't tie any evidence to the original persons of interest, including faith's roommate karina rosario, or her ex-boyfriend eric macoy jones. >> today, after nine years in a week, an arrest has been made in the murder of faith hedgepeth. >> cops arrest a man whose name had never been dropped in their case files. miguel enrique salguero olivares. >> when i cried. >> with tears of joy. tears of relief. knowing that someone had been arrested in the case. >> that's right. a man who was 19 years old at the time is now under indictment for first degree murder. in the chapel hill police department. has never given up on this case. they've never even considered it

a cold case. how did investigators finally nab salguero olivares? through pure chance and dna, crime reporter and podcaster kelly mcclure explains. miguel segura olivares was stopped and suspected of drunken driving around august of 2021, and his dna was taken. at that. >> time. >> that dna. >> matched the. >> dna found. >> at the. >> hedgepeth crime scene. >> in fact, according to police, all over the crime scene. >> it was found. >> on an empty. rum bottle, which was determined to be the murder weapon. it was also found on the fast food paper bag with that cryptic message. >> turns out faith's apartment was not that far from where salguero olivares lived. reportedly, he worked as a painter in the area and may have attended a party at faith's apartment complex before she died. >> i was prime suspect. number one. >> and remember eric jones well, he's glad to no longer be living under a cloud of suspicion.

>> i feel like i. >> can breathe again. >> as for salguero olivares. >> there's not been much released so far about salguero olivares as the chapel hill police department and the prosecutor's office are still keeping very much close to the vest. >> while police are tight lipped on a possible motive, mcclure has some ideas. >> he might have maybe asked her out, like. and she was like, no, i got a boyfriend. maybe he saw her out with another guy. >> now, only a trial will reveal if olivares is directly tied to the cryptic note found near the body and the allegations of sexual assault. he remains in custody after a string of court delays, possibly due to over 39,000 pages of evidence and interviews in the case. >> while the prosecution is not seeking the death penalty. both sides have said that they are ready to go to trial once the discovery phase is finalized, and sources have told me that they are expecting to go to court later this year or in early 2026, and it's a trial

that cannot come soon enough for faith's family. >> memories of faith will never leave the hedgepeth family. rowland actually goes back to the apartment directly below faith's, and stands in the bedroom underneath where his beautiful daughter's body was found, desperately trying to keep some connection. >> that's where a life blood was spilled. her last breath was was was breathed. i tell her i'm sorry i wasn't there for her. >> we'll be right back. >> still have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease symptoms after taking a medication like humira or remicade, put them in check with rinvoq, a once daily pill. when symptoms try to take control. >> i got. >> rapid relief. >> with rinvoq. >> check when flares try to slow me down. i got lasting remission with rinvoq check and many were in remission even at nearly two years. >> and rinvoq helped visibly reduce.
