Jury selection begins in Faith Hedgepeth murder trial
Original: Miguel Salguero-Olivares trial | Jury selection begins in Faith Hedgepeth murder case more than 14 years after she was killed
Jury selection has begun in the trial of Miguel Salguero-Olivares, accused of killing University of North Carolina student Faith Hedgepeth more than 14 years ago. Hedgepeth was found dead in her Chapel Hill apartment in 2012, a case that went unsolved for years until Salguero-Olivares was charged in 2021. The long-awaited proceedings mark a major step toward answers for her family and community.
Why now: The trial of a long-unsolved killing that shocked the UNC community is finally getting underway, drawing renewed attention to the decade-old case.
