Gov. Bev Perdue is offering an additional $10,000 in reward money for information leading to a conviction in the September slaying of a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student, the Governor's Office announced Wednesday.

Faith Danielle Hedgepeth, 19, was found in her bedroom at her off-campus apartment in Chapel Hill on Sept. 7.

Although police have said they do not believe her death was random, they have not publicly identified any suspects.

With the governor's reward, the total reward in the case is up to $39,000.

Investigators have released few details in the case and are asking that anyone who thinks they might have information that could help to call the Chapel Hill Police Department at 919-614-6363 or Crime Stoppers at 919-942-7515.

Hedgepeth's family said recently that they are not sure if there ever will be an arrest in the case.

"I'm starting to lose hope at this point. I don't know any other way to put it," her father, Roland Hedgepeth, said. "I'm just getting really concerned."

The police know who did this. He probably has an alibi they cant break or some other legality that they cant break. They are needing some small piece of information to get this guy. IMO

Too bad people won't come forward with facts unless they get a reward of sizable value. Nice world we live in, huh?

why would they be so closed mouth on any details at all? I've never seen them release so little information.

The Chapel Hill police are clueless. They say the public isn't at risk, that the crime wasn't random, but they have no idea who did this terrible crime.

$10k of her own money right? didn't think so.

this is great news but bev is breaking every law in the book if it's our money she's using at her own disposal
