Fuquay-Varina Independent was a weekly newspaper based in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. It closed in 2013.[1]

An interview in the paper with former United States Attorney James Proctor, dated November 28, 1984, is cited by Errol Morris in his book about the Jeffrey MacDonald murder case, A Wilderness of Error. Proctor was involved in the investigation of MacDonald, and the onetime son-in-law of District Judge Franklin T. Dupree, Jr., who presided at MacDonald's trial. The Independent is identified as Proctor's "hometown newspaper".[2]
