Billboard seeks tips in murder case
Jenna Nielsen
RALEIGH -- Who killed Jenna Nielsen? That's the question posted on a new billboard that will be unveiled Tuesday morning on South Wilmington Street, just north of Tryon Road.
It's been more than three months since the 22-year-old mother of two was found dead near the farmer's market and so far there's been little progress in the murder investigation. Her family is hoping this billboard will change all that.
The billboard is being put up by “America's Most Wanted” will have a photo of Nielsen along with a sketch of a suspect and a toll free number so the public can provide tips.
Nielsen was stabbed once in the neck on June 14 while she was delivering newspapers early in the morning. She was eight months pregnant at the time of her death.
The 14-by-28 billboard was donated by Fairway Outdoor Advertising.
