SAMPSON COUNTY – A woman who went to a rural Sampson County church Sunday night, reportedly to summon help, has now been charged with murder.
Deputies from the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office said they responded to a distress call at Mt. Carmel Church God of Prophecy in Roseboro. The call was regarding a distressed female who had sought assistance and expressed concerns that she may have been involved in a fatal incident.
Upon their arrival at the church, deputies found the female, Samantha Haines, in a red Ford Mustang in the parking lot. Authorities said Ms. Haines reiterated her belief that she may have been responsible for a person’s death, but due to her unfamiliarity with Sampson County, she could not provide specific details about the location of the incident.
Officers determined the car she was driving was registered to Daniel Faircloth of 216 Rosebud Lane, Roseboro, NC. Deputies went to the address and discovered Faircloth deceased outside the home.
Investigators said the circumstances leading to Faircloth’s death remain unclear, however the investigation is still ongoing.
Haines, age 31, has been charged with murder and is currently in custody without bond at the Sampson County Detention.
