How Cops Hunted Down a Coed’s Killer with DNA and a DWI

This week on True Crime News The Podcast: For more than nine years, police hunted for the person who beat 19-year-old college student Faith Hedgepeth to death in 2012. Miguel Salguero Olivares was arrested in 2021 for driving drunk, and his DNA matched evidence at the crime scene where Faith was killed. He had no ties to her or her friends, so it couldn’t be explained away. Five years later, a jury decided the only explanation was that he murdered Faith. Retired LAPD detective Don Tabak joins host Ana Garcia.
