- 4:12Speaker 1: A beautiful young girl found dead. I just can't believe
- 4:18Speaker 1: that this time has passed and this little girl's killer
- 4:21Speaker 1: has still not been brought to justice. Joining me Joseph
- 4:26Speaker 1: Scott Morgan, death scene investigator, Professor Forensics at Jacksonville State
- 4:31Speaker 1: University and author of Blood Beneath My Feet. Doctor Michelle Dupree,
- 4:35Speaker 1: South Carolina medical examiner and author of Homicide Investigation Field Guide.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Renowned North Carolina family lawyer Kathleen Murphy. Also with me,
- 4:46Speaker 1: Renowned new York psychiatrist doctor Judith Fiona Joseph straight out
- 4:51Speaker 1: to syndicated talk show host David Mack. David, let's start
- 4:55Speaker 1: at the beginning. What happened? Faith in her roommate went
- 4:59Speaker 1: out to an club earlier in the evening. They had
- 5:02Speaker 1: already been studying, they'd gone out, and they got home
- 5:05Speaker 1: about two thirty three o'clock in the morning. Now, there
- 5:07Speaker 1: were a number of people involved in this scenario with
- 5:10Speaker 1: Faith and her roommate, men in particular, and a number
- 5:14Speaker 1: of text messages and calls were placed to several different
- 5:17Speaker 1: young men. But all we know is that Karin, her roommate,
- 5:21Speaker 1: left at about three or about four thirty in the morning,
- 5:25Speaker 1: and when she returned at eleven o'clock, she found her
- 5:28Speaker 1: roommates Faith in bed, bludging to death and a very
- 5:32Speaker 1: very bloody crime scene. You know, it's actually a death
- 5:36Speaker 1: investigator's field day to find a crime scene with that
- 5:41Speaker 1: much forensic evidence. I'm going to go to doctor Michelle
- 5:44Speaker 1: Dupree on cause of death, but to Joe Scott Morgan,
- 5:47Speaker 1: death scene investigator. Joe, question to you, what do you do?
- 5:52Speaker 1: Can there be a scene where there's so much blood
- 5:55Speaker 1: that it actually obscures evidence. Yeah, yeah, Ken, that is
- 6:00Speaker 1: evidence as it is viewed through the unaided eye. There
- 6:03Speaker 1: are things that we can do back at the lab,
- 6:05Speaker 1: but yeah, just initially upon your initial observation. When you
- 6:09Speaker 1: walk into a scene like this, Nancy, many times the
- 6:13Speaker 1: area is just completely bathed in blood, and so it
- 6:16Speaker 1: obscures a lot of other evidence that otherwise might appear.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Just plain, you know, plain in plain side without the blood.
- 6:24Speaker 1: To doctor Michelle du Pre, South Carolina Medical Examiner dodgor
- 6:28Speaker 1: g Pre, another issue when a scene is literally drenched
- 6:32Speaker 1: with blood, stabbing or cutting or piercing the skin may
- 6:39Speaker 1: not be the cause of death. How can that be?
- 6:42Speaker 1: That's absolutely right, Nancy. That's why we do on autopsy,
- 6:45Speaker 1: because we examine the entire physical outside and inside of
- 6:49Speaker 1: the body. A lot of blood just simply means that
- 6:51Speaker 1: you hint a vessel that blieds A lot. Head injuries
- 6:54Speaker 1: are very good example, you know. To doctor Judith Theona Joseph,
- 6:59Speaker 1: now chiatrist, I'm about to play the rest of that
- 7:01Speaker 1: nine one one call for you, but doctor Joseph, again,
- 7:05Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. The previous night, Faith
- 7:08Speaker 1: hedgepath and roommate Rosario had gone out to a Chapel
- 7:12Speaker 1: Hill nightclub. Now there was a pocket dial voicemail that
- 7:19Speaker 1: revealed hedge Path, another woman and two men. We're at
- 7:24Speaker 1: the club a few hours before she was killed, Doctor Joseph.
- 7:30Speaker 1: How can a night out having fun with your friends
- 7:34Speaker 1: go so wrong? Well, you know, this is a perfect case,
- 7:39Speaker 1: and the nine one call is terrifying. I mean, imagine
- 7:43Speaker 1: the scene that she walked upon, if she in fact
- 7:46Speaker 1: walked upon the scene. So, you know, when you mix
- 7:49Speaker 1: drugs and alcohol, it's a deadly combination. And what we
- 7:53Speaker 1: find is that most cases of violence, especially in the
- 7:56Speaker 1: mental health field, occur when there's a mix of drugs
- 7:59Speaker 1: an all hal and unfortunately at night during nightlife scenes
- 8:05Speaker 1: in college, there's a lot of drugs and alcohol. So
- 8:08Speaker 1: sometimes a night out of fun can end up in
- 8:12Speaker 1: a night out, can end up being a night out
- 8:15Speaker 1: in terror. What we know that they were was that
- 8:18Speaker 1: they were at a bar. There was some drinking. But
- 8:21Speaker 1: I don't believe that Fate Hedgepath or Hat was even
- 8:24Speaker 1: over the legal limit. Let's see what we can determine
- 8:27Speaker 1: from the nine one one call. I don't know what, okay,
- 8:32Speaker 1: is she on her back or is she on her
- 8:34Speaker 1: laying on their stomach. You know, I love the back
- 8:39Speaker 1: like she I think she fell off the bed because
- 8:42Speaker 1: she's like off said, thanks, flood all over the pillows
- 8:47Speaker 1: like in the comfort there. Okay, all right, listen, Tommy,
- 8:56Speaker 1: all right, yes, I've got somebody's coming. I've got somebody coming.
- 9:02Speaker 1: I need for you to help her. I need for
- 9:05Speaker 1: you to go up to her. We need to see
- 9:08Speaker 1: if she's breathing or not. Okay, okay, listen to me.
- 9:17Speaker 1: Go up. The paramedics are on their way. I want
- 9:20Speaker 1: you to stay on the line. I'm gonna tell you
- 9:22Speaker 1: what to do next. All right. Are you right by
- 9:25Speaker 1: her now? Yes? Okay, listen, cheerfully listen. She's not moving, okay,
- 9:35Speaker 1: and will you touch her arm? Tell me does she
- 9:39Speaker 1: how does she feels? Okay, ma'am. We need to find
- 9:43Speaker 1: out if we can help her or not. You've got to,
- 9:47Speaker 1: you know, do as I'm asking so we can help her.
- 9:51Speaker 1: All right, Okay, if you can lay her flat on
- 9:57Speaker 1: her back, remove any tell please, flat on her back,
- 10:03Speaker 1: flat on her back, remove any pillows. Okay, Okay, Neil. Next,
- 10:10Speaker 1: we're looking her mouth for food or vomit. But okay, Neil, next,
- 10:15Speaker 1: we're looking her mouth for food or vomito. Tell me something.

- 11:49Speaker 1: the police can get in when they get there, Okay,
- 11:54Speaker 1: it's unlock. Okay, now get here though. Okay. They're on

- 12:34Speaker 1: You just you sit down on the couch and don't
- 12:37Speaker 1: touch anything. Okay, you just fit okay, Okay. What happened
- 12:42Speaker 1: to Fate Hedgepath. She's absolutely stunning. I'm looking at her
- 12:47Speaker 1: right now, and this is what you don't want to see,
- 12:50Speaker 1: a picture of your beautiful girl smiling. Her hair is
- 12:54Speaker 1: all and curls around her face. She looks a lot
- 12:58Speaker 1: to me like Julia Louise Dreyfus. She's just stunning. And
- 13:03Speaker 1: then below that is a picture of her gravestone. Faith
- 13:08Speaker 1: Danielle Hedgepath. I always try to start a murder case,
- 13:14Speaker 1: a homicide case with a nine one one call when
- 13:17Speaker 1: presenting to a jury. Why because it takes you Kathleen Murphy,
- 13:21Speaker 1: North Carolina family lawyer. Back to the moment of the crime,
- 13:27Speaker 1: the moment as close as we can get to the crime,
- 13:31Speaker 1: and everything you hear at that moment in that nine
- 13:35Speaker 1: one one call factors into what happened. For instance, we
- 13:39Speaker 1: find out she is lying there in her bedroom naked
- 13:45Speaker 1: and the bed covers are covered in blood. That tells
- 13:50Speaker 1: me this was a sex attack or sex attempt, that's
- 13:55Speaker 1: what happened. And that she was cut with a sharp object,
- 13:58Speaker 1: which turns out to be, by the way, a rum bottle.
- 14:03Speaker 1: I mean, Kathleen Murphy. If you listen very carefully to
- 14:07Speaker 1: the nine one one causes so many cases, you learn
- 14:11Speaker 1: the elements of the crime, you absolutely do. And in
- 14:17Speaker 1: this neighborhood that she was about thirty minutes from where
- 14:20Speaker 1: I live, it's a safe neighborhood, it's a safe campus.
- 14:25Speaker 1: It's a difficult school to get into. These not individuals
- 14:30Speaker 1: that are troubled individuals. And when she's out at a
- 14:33Speaker 1: bar with her friends. The investigation that has come about
- 14:39Speaker 1: is looking into the relationships she had with the people
- 14:44Speaker 1: that she surrounded herself with. They did a DNA FEMOE
- 14:50Speaker 1: type model of what they suspect. The killer could look
- 14:55Speaker 1: like he's a male. Some individuals want to alleged that
- 15:01Speaker 1: her roommate is responsible for this crime, but the photograph
- 15:07Speaker 1: from the DNA phenotyping shows a male and they used
- 15:11Speaker 1: that photograph to narrow the list of suspects in this case. Well,
- 15:17Speaker 1: I can tell you right now that this is not
- 15:19Speaker 1: the work of a female killer. Joseph Scott Morgan joining
- 15:23Speaker 1: the author of Blood Beneath My Feet, this is a
- 15:26Speaker 1: male murder. The roommate left and that has been established.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Early early that morning, she came back and found Fate
- 15:36Speaker 1: Hedgepath dead. This was a sex assault or an attempt
- 15:41Speaker 1: an attempted sex assault. Yeah, it was Nancy. And they
- 15:44Speaker 1: did find semen at the scene as well. And the
- 15:48Speaker 1: curious thing about this is that the semen that they
- 15:52Speaker 1: found within this within the rape kit that they that
- 15:57Speaker 1: they collected at autopsy, it also matched DNA sample that
- 16:01Speaker 1: was taken from around the surrounding area within the apartment.
- 16:06Speaker 1: So that's kind of compelling as well. That gives me
- 16:09Speaker 1: an indication that either the subject cut themselves with this
- 16:14Speaker 1: rum bottle that they used, which I like to refer
- 16:17Speaker 1: to as a weapon of convenience, and we can go
- 16:20Speaker 1: into that or they did touch DNA sampling where they
- 16:25Speaker 1: collected partial DNA from slough skin cells. Very difficult to do.
- 16:31Speaker 1: To doctor Michelle Dupree, joining us out of South Carolina
- 16:35Speaker 1: over now medical examiner. The autopsy determined she was not
- 16:39Speaker 1: stabbed to death, she was beaten to death and she
- 16:42Speaker 1: died of blunt force trauma to the head. Why is
- 16:45Speaker 1: that typically not a female crime, Nancy, It's typically not
- 16:50Speaker 1: a female crime because it takes some strength to do that.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Most women are not going to pick up a blunt
- 16:56Speaker 1: object and strike someone else. They just don't have a
- 16:59Speaker 1: physical strength to do that. Question about this to doctor
- 17:03Speaker 1: Judith Fiona Joseph, New York Psychiatrists, joining us from Manhattan.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Doctor Joseph, what does that say to you about the
- 17:09Speaker 1: mind of the killer that not only would he and
- 17:12Speaker 1: it is a he beat her dead, the cause of
- 17:16Speaker 1: death were blows to the head. Doctor, Yeah, it sounds
- 17:20Speaker 1: like a very rageful murder and very personal. And so
- 17:26Speaker 1: you know, most of these crimes where women are attacked
- 17:30Speaker 1: involves someone that they know. And like I said earlier,
- 17:33Speaker 1: when you mixed drugs and alcohol into any situation, you
- 17:37Speaker 1: just heighten the level of intensity of violence. So this
- 17:41Speaker 1: is probably someone that she knew who was intoxicated and
- 17:44Speaker 1: full of rage, and then we know what happened in
- 17:47Speaker 1: the end. You know, the Chapel Hill Police Chief Chris
- 17:51Speaker 1: Blue has been making public appeals for help in the
- 17:56Speaker 1: case to solve the murder. A Fate Hedgepath. What do
- 18:00Speaker 1: we know about Faith David Matt What do we know
- 18:03Speaker 1: about her? We know that she was a great student,
- 18:06Speaker 1: that she was a Native American tribe in western North Carolina.
- 18:10Speaker 1: But we also know that she took a semester off
- 18:13Speaker 1: of school because she needed to raise some money. She
- 18:15Speaker 1: was working two jobs as a full time student. I
- 18:18Speaker 1: do want to go back to something you guys have
- 18:20Speaker 1: talked about with the potential crime. The weapon that was used,
- 18:23Speaker 1: that Bacardi run bottle. That bottle was tested and they
- 18:27Speaker 1: determined that sixteen miles per hour of force would have
- 18:30Speaker 1: caused the blunt force trauma two major hits to her head.
- 18:33Speaker 1: But the bottle wasn't broken and it didn't a similar
- 18:36Speaker 1: bottle did not break in testing. It's got blood all
- 18:39Speaker 1: over it. They have identified that as the murder weapon,
- 18:42Speaker 1: and that's why they I've actually seen a picture of
- 18:44Speaker 1: this bloody Bacardi bottle. The thing is, Nancy, is that
- 18:49Speaker 1: there that you mentioned the butt dial phone call, Well,
- 18:51Speaker 1: you know that night the cell phone provider involved in
- 18:54Speaker 1: that actually had a major glitch and it caused a
- 18:58Speaker 1: time shift of over two hours of time stamps during
- 19:02Speaker 1: a twelve hour window at the time this took place.
- 19:05Speaker 1: So where they're trying to place that butt dial at
- 19:07Speaker 1: the club at about one thirty, it actually could have
- 19:10Speaker 1: been placed at three thirty in the morning. And on
- 19:13Speaker 1: top of that, at the time if that happened at
- 19:15Speaker 1: three thirty in the morning, a neighbor downstairs heard what
- 19:19Speaker 1: she believed could be some very loud thuds going on
- 19:22Speaker 1: upstairs in the apartment. Take a listen to the Chapel
- 19:25Speaker 1: Hill Police Chief Chris Blue defeating one tourist in the
- 19:31Speaker 1: area and saw something that they thought, no matter how insignificant,
- 19:35Speaker 1: might have a connection. If they would come forward, if
- 19:38Speaker 1: they heard something overheard, someone mentioned something that seems related
- 19:43Speaker 1: to this case, we would hope they would come forward.
- 19:45Speaker 1: They heard something that struck in the strange, would hope
- 19:47Speaker 1: they would come forward. If the killer is out there
- 19:50Speaker 1: hearing this message, know this, we will fashion Do you

- 23:13Speaker 1: at Chapel Hill just hours just a few hours after
- 23:17Speaker 1: she was last seen alive. She had gone out with
- 23:20Speaker 1: girlfriends to a local nightclub called The Thrill the night before.
- 23:25Speaker 1: The FI Behavioral Analysis Unit insists the killer new Hedgepath,
- 23:30Speaker 1: maybe lived near her now or in the past, may
- 23:34Speaker 1: have made comments about her to friends or co workers.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Did the killer's behavior change after her death, maybe an
- 23:42Speaker 1: odd interest in her case or a change at work
- 23:46Speaker 1: or at school. Investigators say the crime lab definitely found
- 23:50Speaker 1: DNA in the apartment by a man. Now, they have
- 23:55Speaker 1: not disclosed where the DNA was found, as you heard
- 23:58Speaker 1: just got Mo're gonna say it was around the apartment,
- 24:01Speaker 1: but they were convinced it would lead them to Faith's killer.
- 24:05Speaker 1: If you have information, please call nine one nine six
- 24:08Speaker 1: one four sixty three sixty three, repeat nine one four

- 24:23Speaker 1: hurts me to hear her father begging, begging for that
- 24:28Speaker 1: one tip that will crack the case. Is that tip
- 24:31Speaker 1: a note left at the scene that has just been
- 24:36Speaker 1: revealed by police and as it relates to that DNA.
- 24:41Speaker 1: To Joseph Scott Morgan, desine investigator and author, we may
- 24:45Speaker 1: have all the DNA in the world, but you've got
- 24:47Speaker 1: to have something to match it too, Joe Scott. Yeah,
- 24:51Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, Nancy. And unfortunately there is not a
- 24:56Speaker 1: tremendous DNA database like fingerprints say, for instance. We've got
- 25:00Speaker 1: some databases that are out there, so it's kind of limiting.
- 25:03Speaker 1: But Nancy, they took samples, reportedly took samples of one
- 25:07Speaker 1: hundred people, one hundred people that were at least associated
- 25:11Speaker 1: with her in some way, and none of them have
- 25:14Speaker 1: come back as a match. There's been between a thousand
- 25:18Speaker 1: and two thousand people interviewed in this particular case, so
- 25:22Speaker 1: the case has been very wide ranging. I agree with
- 25:25Speaker 1: the Behavioral Sciences Unit. This crime is so passionate, it's
- 25:30Speaker 1: so brutal. I think that someone was very, very angry,
- 25:33Speaker 1: and they were within her circle. They knew her, they'd
- 25:36Speaker 1: been watching her, probably, and they assaulted her. Lord only
- 25:39Speaker 1: knows how and for how long. Take a listen to
- 25:43Speaker 1: what we can learn from the nine one one call.
- 25:46Speaker 1: I just want you to sit down, because the LEAs
- 25:51Speaker 1: and the medics are going to be there, just there,
- 25:53Speaker 1: coming to the best as they can, all right. They
- 25:58Speaker 1: just you could stay on the phone of the name. Okay,
- 26:05Speaker 1: let me just stay on the phone with me. Are
- 26:08Speaker 1: you here, yes, ma'am. They are on their way in there. Okay,
- 26:19Speaker 1: We've got we've got first responders on the way. There's
- 26:22Speaker 1: firetop coming, there's a medic coming, and the sheriff's departments
- 26:26Speaker 1: on the way to you. Okay, you just stay on
- 26:29Speaker 1: the phone with me until somebody gets there with you, right, okay, Karina?
- 26:36Speaker 1: How old are you? Karina twenty? You're twenty? Okay, honey,
- 26:41Speaker 1: you're doing all right? Are you doing all? You? Just
- 26:44Speaker 1: stay on the phone. You see the police, yes, okay.
- 26:51Speaker 1: You let me know when they get in there with you,
- 26:52Speaker 1: and then you can talk to them. I I just
- 26:55Speaker 1: don't want you to be along right now. Okay, Okay,
- 27:01Speaker 1: stay on the phone with me. To David Max, syndicated
- 27:05Speaker 1: talk show host David tell me about a recently revealed
- 27:10Speaker 1: note found at the scene. There was apparently they had
- 27:14Speaker 1: gone to a fast food restaurant on their way home
- 27:16Speaker 1: from the club, and in the midst of this horribly
- 27:20Speaker 1: bloody crime scene, there was a note written on the
- 27:23Speaker 1: back of this fast food bag. Do you want me
- 27:26Speaker 1: to give you the actual text of it? Yeah, because
- 27:29Speaker 1: all right, he said, I'm not stupid, bitch jealous. And
- 27:33Speaker 1: their part about this that bothers the investigators is that
- 27:36Speaker 1: this was written there's no blood on the bag. The
- 27:40Speaker 1: DNA on the pen matches up with the sperm they
- 27:42Speaker 1: found near the body, and yet there's no blood on
- 27:45Speaker 1: that bag, meaning that the perpetrator actually felt comfortable enough
- 27:49Speaker 1: in this apartment, knowing nobody was coming home, and cleaned
- 27:52Speaker 1: himself up before writing that note. And one of the
- 27:56Speaker 1: experts I heard talking about that specific note said that
- 27:59Speaker 1: it seemed like there was a deliberate deception, like maybe
- 28:01Speaker 1: somebody used their non writing hand to write that note,
- 28:05Speaker 1: and it just it really blows the case wide open
- 28:08Speaker 1: because of the anger in the context. Let's go to
- 28:10Speaker 1: New York psychiatrists. Joining us from Manhattan, doctor Judith Fiona Joseph,
- 28:15Speaker 1: doctor Joseph, what does it say to you that the
- 28:19Speaker 1: killer actually left a note and also that there was
- 28:24Speaker 1: no blood on the note. What does the note reveal
- 28:27Speaker 1: in your mind? We gotta get inside the mind of
- 28:29Speaker 1: this killer. That tells me that this person again was
- 28:32Speaker 1: full of rage and had no remorse, because after a killing,
- 28:36Speaker 1: you know, sometimes in the heat of passion, a crime
- 28:39Speaker 1: of passion, there's there's remorse, you know, because it's it
- 28:42Speaker 1: is heat. At the moment you had this grudge, you
- 28:46Speaker 1: did something, and then immediately after you probably feel remorse
- 28:49Speaker 1: or regret. This person had no regrets. In fact, this
- 28:52Speaker 1: person wanted to leave a statement and that is horrific.
- 28:56Speaker 1: So to you, Kathleen Murphy, this is in your backyard,
- 28:59Speaker 1: Kathleen Murphy, North Carolina family lawyer joining us. You know,
- 29:03Speaker 1: Chapel Hill is very, very prestigious. It's very hard to
- 29:09Speaker 1: get into. What do all these factors tell you, Kathleen,
- 29:12Speaker 1: What do you know about the community. It is a
- 29:15Speaker 1: beautiful campus. The students there are aboff par It is
- 29:20Speaker 1: very difficult to get into the school. It is a
- 29:22Speaker 1: beautiful campus. And it just convinces me that this is
- 29:26Speaker 1: somebody that she knew, and I cannot believe with all
- 29:29Speaker 1: the DNA samples that they took from her circle of friends,
- 29:34Speaker 1: that they haven't had a match yet. And that is
- 29:36Speaker 1: concerning to me. Well, what it says to me is
- 29:39Speaker 1: the PERP is not in the DNA data bank, or
- 29:41Speaker 1: the fingerprints are not in the data bank, because you've
- 29:44Speaker 1: got codas and you've got aphis. One is about DNA.
- 29:47Speaker 1: One is about fingerprints unless you are a civil servant
- 29:51Speaker 1: or a cop or in the military, or you have
- 29:53Speaker 1: a criminal wrecker. I mean, my fingerprints are on file
- 29:56Speaker 1: from being a prosecute. And that's the first thing I
- 29:58Speaker 1: had to do before I got my job. I had
- 29:59Speaker 1: to my fingerprints. So people are in the system. But
- 30:03Speaker 1: if you're not in the system, there's nothing to compare
- 30:06Speaker 1: those prints or that DNA too. So you may have
- 30:10Speaker 1: a wealth of DNA, but you can't get a match.
- 30:13Speaker 1: I want you to listen to something that literally haunts me.
- 30:17Speaker 1: This is Faith's father, Rolling Hedgepath. Faith was my my
- 30:23Speaker 1: youngest daughter, my baby girl. She was born at a
- 30:27Speaker 1: real bad time in my life. I mean a good
- 30:30Speaker 1: time for her to be born, but one of the
- 30:33Speaker 1: lowest points of my life. And she was a god
- 30:36Speaker 1: sin to give me a reason to live. Faith was
- 30:44Speaker 1: a pretty baby, Okay, from the moment they brought her
- 30:46Speaker 1: out of the delivery room, the first time I saw her,
- 30:50Speaker 1: she was just a beautiful little girl. And uh, you know,
- 30:54Speaker 1: everybody thinks their child's pretty good. Sometimes newborns are not
- 30:58Speaker 1: so pretty people, but uh, Faith was just pretty. And
- 31:03Speaker 1: she never really changed a whole lot from that aspect.
- 31:08Speaker 1: But her beauty would Her beauty didn't lie on her exterior,
- 31:12Speaker 1: you know, her beauty was from with him. That's the
- 31:15Speaker 1: beauty that I saw. I've always heard that, uh you know, O,
- 31:20Speaker 1: parents should never have to bury their children or the child,
- 31:24Speaker 1: and I guess in a perfect world that's true, but
- 31:28Speaker 1: it certainly would was it the case here? Um? We
- 31:33Speaker 1: buried Faith on September twelve, twenty twelve, and her leavingess
- 31:38Speaker 1: has just left such a board. I don't really know
- 31:42Speaker 1: how to describe it. Okay, Yea, So you know, the worst,
- 31:46Speaker 1: the worst thing I ever heard in my whole life
- 31:47Speaker 1: was that she had died, and uh, you know, and
- 31:52Speaker 1: the hardest thing I've done since then, the hardest thing
- 31:55Speaker 1: I've ever done is just live every day since then.
- 31:57Speaker 1: You're hearing Faith hedge pass father Roland talking about the
- 32:01Speaker 1: loss of his as he says, baby girl and what
- 32:05Speaker 1: he is going through is pure hell hell, and it's
- 32:08Speaker 1: only compounded by the fact that her case has not
- 32:11Speaker 1: been solved. Among brand new details made available to us
- 32:16Speaker 1: is a note scribbled on a fast food bag left
- 32:20Speaker 1: next to her naked body that reads, according to Dave Mack,
- 32:25Speaker 1: I'm not stupid bitch jealous. That's what the note said
- 32:29Speaker 1: as compared to everything else in the bedroom where she
- 32:34Speaker 1: was found naked and dead. It doesn't have a drop
- 32:37Speaker 1: of blood on it. I'm looking at it right now
- 32:39Speaker 1: and you can see it on crime online dot com
- 32:43Speaker 1: and here the very latest See the very latest about
- 32:46Speaker 1: Faith hedge Pass death. What doesn't tell us I'm not
- 32:50Speaker 1: stupid bitch jealous? To doctor Michelle Dupree rightnown medical examiner
- 32:55Speaker 1: and author of homicide Investigation fuel Guide. Doctor Dupree is
- 32:59Speaker 1: a bringing back memories of the Jamboni Ramsey murder. And
- 33:03Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, because that perp was not afraid
- 33:07Speaker 1: somebody was gonna walk in the front door and see
- 33:09Speaker 1: them sitting there writing a ransom note on Patsy Ramsey's
- 33:13Speaker 1: notepad with Patsy Ramsey's writing pen or sharpie. No, they
- 33:19Speaker 1: were relaxed in the home. They wrote a draft and
- 33:23Speaker 1: a full on I think it was a two page letter.
- 33:26Speaker 1: They were not worried of detection at all. And this
- 33:30Speaker 1: person a parallel, This person is not worried. What does
- 33:35Speaker 1: that mean to you, doctor Michelle Duprie about this murder? Now,
- 33:40Speaker 1: that tells me that this person was well organized, This
- 33:43Speaker 1: is well found out. There's probably going to be not
- 33:46Speaker 1: that much forensicabitance except for the DNA. It also tells
- 33:49Speaker 1: me that this person was very, very comfortable in this
- 33:52Speaker 1: location and probably knew her and, as we've said before,
- 33:55Speaker 1: knew that they would have time to do this horrific crime.
- 33:59Speaker 1: What else do we know? Face's body was found in
- 34:01Speaker 1: a pool of blood. There was a blood spider on
- 34:04Speaker 1: the wall and the bedroom closet door of the apartment.
- 34:08Speaker 1: To Joseph Scott, Morgan death investigator and author of Blood
- 34:12Speaker 1: Beneath My Feet, Joseph Scott, what does that mean to you?
- 34:15Speaker 1: Blood found on the wall and also on the closet
- 34:20Speaker 1: door of her apartment. Well, not knowing what the nature
- 34:22Speaker 1: of this blood is, I can only assume that it's
- 34:24Speaker 1: probably cast off and what that means is, as she's
- 34:27Speaker 1: being struck with this heavy rum bottle, which has already
- 34:31Speaker 1: been stated, was not broken this blood. If people at
- 34:35Speaker 1: home will just think about taking a paintbrush and dipping
- 34:38Speaker 1: it into a can of paint and slinging it over
- 34:40Speaker 1: the shoulder, this creates cast off and so those are
- 34:43Speaker 1: a little particulate. And what this can tell us is
- 34:46Speaker 1: actually the position of the perpetrator relative to the victim.
- 34:51Speaker 1: My suspicion is is that they were obviously in a
- 34:54Speaker 1: dominant position. They were on top of her beating her
- 34:57Speaker 1: with this. Now, if I could just address one thing
- 35:00Speaker 1: about this note, because I think it's quite telling Nancy.
- 35:03Speaker 1: First off, as you note, as was stated earlier, there
- 35:06Speaker 1: was no blood on the note. That means that, in
- 35:09Speaker 1: my estimation at least, either the note was written beforehand
- 35:12Speaker 1: or after this event took place, someone cleaning their hands
- 35:16Speaker 1: prior to writing this thing. One more thing and I'll
- 35:19Speaker 1: be quiet. The note itself is written in a very
- 35:23Speaker 1: particular fashion. If you read the text of the note,
- 35:27Speaker 1: it's in three distinct lines that are stamped, that are
- 35:31Speaker 1: stacked on top of one another. The top statement says,
- 35:34Speaker 1: I am not stupid and then the word bitch appears
- 35:39Speaker 1: in the second line, and it's bold, it's bolder than
- 35:42Speaker 1: anything else. And then below it it says jealous. This
- 35:45Speaker 1: looks like it was written in a fevered manner. It's
- 35:48Speaker 1: kind of disorganized and overlapping the letters are. And they've
- 35:51Speaker 1: already had a question document examiner look at this thing.
- 35:55Speaker 1: I'm sure several have at this point in time, and
- 35:58Speaker 1: they will be able, I think, to match handwriting with someone.
- 36:01Speaker 1: We know that Hedgepath and roommate Rosario left the bar
- 36:04Speaker 1: together and drove back to their old Durham Road apartment
- 36:08Speaker 1: in Hedgepath's white Nissan Ultima. Rosario left soon thereafter, but
- 36:14Speaker 1: when she came back that morning around eleven am with
- 36:16Speaker 1: a friend, the two of them find Faith's body. We
- 36:22Speaker 1: know that investigators have collected hundreds of items of evidence.
- 36:26Speaker 1: They've interviewed friends, family, co workers, neighbors. They've consulted with
- 36:31Speaker 1: scientific experts. They circled back to classmates of hers. They've
- 36:36Speaker 1: asked persons of interest to give DNA swabs to compare.
- 36:40Speaker 1: They collected hundreds of samples. So far, none have been
- 36:44Speaker 1: a match. Chief Blue says that key piece of information
- 36:48Speaker 1: is still out there. What happened? Who killed Faith Hedgepath
- 36:55Speaker 1: Take a listen to Faith's father. My last believing memory
- 36:58Speaker 1: of her vis just here at this home. She came
- 37:02Speaker 1: to visit me on Father's Day and on June or
- 37:04Speaker 1: twenty twelve. I had just undergone a total hip transplant
- 37:08Speaker 1: and about a week a little morning a week before,
- 37:12Speaker 1: and I was very weak, and but she came to
- 37:17Speaker 1: saving for Father's Day, and I had no idea it
- 37:20Speaker 1: was the last time I was gonna see her. We
- 37:23Speaker 1: talked every week, several times a week normally if I
- 37:27Speaker 1: could get up with her either we texted, were talked,
- 37:31Speaker 1: and she was a highlight of my day normally, and
- 37:36Speaker 1: our conversations when we I just I always would close
- 37:40Speaker 1: our conversations with you know. I'd always tell her to
- 37:42Speaker 1: read her Bible and pray, and I'd always tell her
- 37:45Speaker 1: to be careful of the company she killed. You know.
- 37:50Speaker 1: I always watched her surroundings. And I look back at
- 37:54Speaker 1: even some of the letters that I wrote her that
- 37:56Speaker 1: her mother gave back to me, and I put the
- 37:59Speaker 1: same thing, same things in your letters, you know, But
- 38:03Speaker 1: in the end it didn't seem to make any difference.
- 38:06Speaker 1: If that does not make you want to run to
- 38:09Speaker 1: your children's school and make sure they're okay, or check
- 38:13Speaker 1: on them, or call them. It's just overwhelming to me
- 38:16Speaker 1: to hear Faith's father in such deep despair. Let me
- 38:20Speaker 1: remind you there is a forty thousand dollar reward to
- 38:25Speaker 1: help solve the murder a Faith Hedgepath there in North Carolina,
