Final text message from Faith Hedgepeth's phone revealed by SBI agent
SBI Agent Justin Heinrich is walking jurors through Faith Hedgepeth's cellphone activity in the hours before her death. Heinrich testified Faith had only had the phone for a few months, getting it in July.
Jurors were shown records that included:
10:06 p.m.: An outgoing text to Taalib Cochrane saying, "Outside."
11:07 p.m.: An incoming text from Karina Rosario asking, "Are you okay?"
11:14 p.m.: An incoming call from Rosario.
11:18 p.m.: Faith texts Rosario, "I'm sorry. Was on the phone. I'm on my way."
11:57 p.m.: Faith texts Alexis Evans asking, "Are you registered to vote?"
Faith also texts Carmen Wood saying she is at The Thrill.
2:10 a.m.: Rosario texts Faith asking, "Where are you?" around the time The Thrill was closing.
3:40 a.m.: Faith sends Brandon Edwards a message asking him to come over and "please let her know you care."
Faith also sent Ty McNeil a message saying he remained on her mind and that she still loved him.
Later that morning, records showed two calls from Rosario, including one at 8:46 a.m.
Heinrich also testified that Faith worked at the Red Robin at 5313 New Hope Commons Boulevard in Durham.
The state also presented records from Karena Rosario's phone, including texts with Jordan McCrary and Marisol.
Prosecutors asked that Heinrich be accepted as an expert in cellular phone record analysis, and the judge agreed.
Heinrich testified that investigators conducted cell-site, or "tower dump," analysis around The Thrill from midnight to 4 a.m. and Hawthorne at the View from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. on Sept. 7, 2012.
Heinrich said that analysis did not develop any leads in the case.
