A week ago, Chad Hedgepeth came to Chapel Hill searching for answers about the Sept. 7 death of his little sister, UNC student Faith Danielle Hedgepeth.
Hedgepeth, 19, was found by friends in her off-campus apartment in what police are calling a homicide.
Since that Friday two weeks ago, little information has emerged about her death, which spurred Chad Hedgepeth to make the trip from Virginia last week.
“I was in Chapel Hill poking around just trying to see what I can find out,” he said. “The cops won’t tell us anything.”
On Sept. 10, a Durham County Superior Court judge sealed several documents in the case — including the 911 call and multiple search warrants related to the case — at the request of Chapel Hill police.
Hedgepeth said police have also released little information to his family about the investigation.
No arrests have been made in the case, and a cause of death has yet to be released.
“They’re saying it’s all locked up … that anything they tell us would compromise the investigation,” he said.
As the days drag on with no new information, Hedgepeth is growing worried the case will go cold.
