Faith Danielle Hedgepeth
September 26, 1992 - September 7, 2012

On September 7, 2012, the world lost a remarkable and inspirational young woman who achieved so much and touched the lives of so many people in her short life.
Faith Danielle Hedgepeth was a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and friend. She was a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with dreams for her future, a beautiful smile and a spirit that left a lasting impression on those who knew and loved her.
We continue to celebrate Faith’s life, honor her memory and seek justice in her name.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
On September 28, 2026, more than fourteen years after Faith Danielle Hedgepeth's death, the trial in her case is scheduled to begin. Our family is preparing for what is expected to be a lengthy and emotionally difficult court process.
For several weeks, members of Faith's immediate family will be making significant sacrifices to be present throughout the trial. Some immediate family members will be staying locally near the courthouse, while others will commute approximately 140 miles round trip each day. Over the course of a trial expected to last several weeks, the costs of lodging, transportation, meals and other trial-related expenses will quickly add up.
Many people have asked how they can help, and we are deeply grateful for the continued love, prayers and support shown to Faith and our family throughout the past fourteen years.
Contributions and proceeds from Justice for Faith T-shirts, buttons and car decals will help offset the family's trial-related expenses. Any funds remaining after those needs are met may also be used to support the Faith's Smile Faith Hedgepeth Memorial Scholarship.
Justice for Faith T-shirts are available in adult and children's sizes.
Small–XL: $22
2X–3X: $25
4X–5X: $28
Children's sizes are also available.
Justice for Faith buttons and car decals are also available.

We are incredibly thankful for everyone who has supported Faith and our family over the years. Whether through a contribution, purchasing a Justice for Faith item, sharing Faith's story, offering a prayer or simply continuing to remember her, your support means more than we can express.
Thank you for continuing to remember Faith and stand with our family.
JUSTICE FOR FAITH


This scholarship was created to commemorate and honor the life of Faith Danielle Hedgepeth, a vibrant and loving American Indian woman. Faith was devoted to her family, friends, community, church and tribe. She was a successful student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a proud member of the Haliwa-Saponi Tribe of North Carolina.
The scholarship supports young women pursuing higher education. Applicants must be female, connected to a recognized American Indian Tribe in North Carolina through documented membership or ancestry, and an incoming freshman at a four-year college or university.
Scholarship awards, application deadlines and other details are announced annually.
Our Faith had a heart of gold and an infectious smile that illumined a room. Although her time on earth was short, Faith had an enormous impact on many. Our lives were forever changed when Faith was taken from us on September 7, 2012.
We are relieved to know that someone has been arrested in Faith’s case. We thank the members of the Chapel Hill Police Department, NC State Bureau of Investigation, and other agencies that had a hand in the investigation. We are grateful for all the support that we have received across the country over the past nine years. As we move into this next phase, we ask for your continued support, patience, and understanding as we limit commenting on the investigation.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
The Hedgepeth Family
