The Durham man accused of killing Faith Hedgepeth was arrested after investigators linked DNA from a rape kit, a wine bottle and other evidence at the 2012 crime scene to his distant relatives, newly released court documents reveal.
Miguel Enrique Salguero-Olivares, 28, was charged with first-degree murder Sept. 16, about nine years after the 19-year-old UNC-Chapel Hill sophomore was found dead in a friend’s apartment near the Durham-Chapel Hill border.
Police said after the arrest that they had matched Salguero-Olivares to DNA evidence, but they didn’t give details about when or how he became a suspect in the case.
