CRIME CAPSULE: Justice for Jenna

from Crime Capsule: Ripped from the pages of a reporter's notebook · host Amanda Lamb

Jenna Nielsen was the married mother of two and 8-months pregnant at the time she was killed behind a Raleigh, North Carolina convenience store in the early morning hours of a balmy summer day in 2007. She was just doing her job as a USA Today paper carrier, trying to make a little extra money to help support her growing family. Immediately, there was hope the case would be closed quickly. Witnesses in the area who saw a man running from the scene helped police make a detailed composite, and there was DNA evidence. Early on, there were promising leads, but the case went nowhere. A man sits in a Mexican jail charged in a homicide in his native country and he is suspected in a 2002 murder in North Carolina. Investigators say he's a person of interest in Jenna's murder, but they haven't been able to get him extradited to the U.S. In this powerful episode, Jenna's family and the prosecutor assigned to the case talk about their ongoing quest to get justice for Jenna.
