closeA knife was found near where an 8-month-pregnant newspaper carrier was killed earlier this month, police said today.
Jennifer Kathleen Nielsen, 22, was attacked early June 14 as she dropped off a stack of USA Today newspapers in a machine outside a Raleigh market.
A News & Observer carrier called authorities when he saw her car in the parking lot with the lights on. Police found her body about 5 a.m. behind the Ameriking Food Mart and Exxon Station on Lake Wheeler Road in front of the state Farmers Market.
