'It's been two years and it's not very different': Arrest made in Faith Hedgepeth murder two years ago Saturday

Saturday marked two years since Chapel Hill police arrested a suspect in the murder of Faith Hedgepeth.

Miguel Enrique Salguero-Olivares was arrested in connection to her death and is currently awaiting trial.

Hedgepeth’s father, Roland Hedgepeth, said the case has had little movement since Salguero-Olivares’ arrest.

“Well, it’s pretty much at a standstill from what I understand,” he said. “It’s been two years and it’s not very different than when she was first murdered.”

Salguero-Olivares’ case has not got to trial for a number of reasons. Some of the reasons are the amount of discovery and evidence in the case, including digital forensic analysis.

WRAL News reported that Salguero-Olivares was linked to the crime from DNA evidence gathered in a drunk-driving stop the month before his arrest.

As time goes on, Hedgepeth’s family says they don’t have closure, despite the man accused being behind bars.

“We just take it a day at a time,” Roland Hedgepeth said. “It's never very far from our minds, but we cannot dwell on it everyday.”
