In each episode of Crimes of the Centuries, award-winning journalist Amber Hunt will examine a case that’s lesser known today but was huge when it happened. The cases explored span the centuries and each left a mark. Some made history by changing laws. Others were so shocking they changed society.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T20:22:35.066214+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689"},"episode":{"title":"S6: The Murder of Faith Hedgepeth: Future COTC?","slug":"s6-the-murder-of-faith-hedgepeth-future-cotc","published_at":"2026-06-26T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689/s6-the-murder-of-faith-hedgepeth-future-cotc","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8919965","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8919965.mp3?modified=1782408955&sid=5034723&source=rss","summary":"In September 2012, a 19-year-old UNC-Chapel Hill student was found beaten to death in her off-campus apartment. She was a biology major, a member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe, and weeks away from her twentieth birthday. Despite DNA evidence collected from the scene on day one, her case went cold for nine agonizing years — generating hundreds of DNA tests, thousands of interviews, and an internet's worth of amateur theories that muddied the waters and targeted people who had never been charged. An arrest has since been made, and trial is set for September. But questions about what was preserved, what was lost, and whether the systems around her worked the way they should have are only beginning to surface. This is a case worth watching.","meta_description":"In September 2012, a 19-year-old UNC-Chapel Hill student was found beaten to death in her off-campus apartment.
