Grief a catalyst for victims' kin
From common ground, families try to uncover new leads in unsolved Raleigh killings
Thomasi McDonald, Staff Writer
RALEIGH - With police unable to find the killers of their loved ones, the family members of three Triangle homicide victims have joined together for support and to keep their cases from being forgotten.
The families of Jennifer Kathleen Nielsen and Leroy Jernigan will gather in a parking lot next to the N.C. State Fair today to distribute reward fliers they hope will generate new leads. Nielsen and Jernigan were both killed as they worked alone in the early morning hours -- Nielsen delivering papers, Jernigan cleaning a fast-food restaurant.
Nielsen's family also has been in contact with the mother and sister of Michelle Young, a 29-year-old pregnant mother found dead in the bedroom of her home south of Raleigh on Nov. 3. Young's murder also remains unsolved. The two families plan to get together next month when Young's mother visits Raleigh. (more at link)
