What was the note discovered in Faith Hedgepeth's apartment?
On the morning of September 7, 2012, Karena Rosario found her friend Hedgepeth severely beaten to death in her bedroom.

Who was arrested in connection to Faith Hedgepeth's death?
On September 16, the Chapel Hill Police Department announced the arrest of Miguel Enrique Oliveras, 28, of Durham.
The 28-year-old suspect has been charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bail.
“Patience will be asked of you. This story will take time to completely unfold," Police Chief Chris Blue said in a press conference.
“This investigation is not complete. Our work is not done,” added Assistant Chief Celisa Lehew.
Authorities did not comment on whether Oliveras would also be charged with a sex crime, as investigators at the time said Faith was brutally beaten and raped.
Police also would not comment on Olivares' relationship to Faith or whether there was one.
However, they said Olivares was not considered a suspect from the very beginning of the case.
“When I got the news this morning, I didn’t do anything but cry, and thank God,” Hedgepeth's mother, Connie, said.
“When I cried, it was tears of joy, tears of relief, knowing that someone had been arrested in her case.”
“It’s been a long nine years. It was an honor to be Faith's dad," her dad Roland said.
