Write up in newsobserver re; pregnancy, statistics of deaths. (Mentions Michelle and others)

The news that Michelle Fisher Young had been beaten to death at her home in a quiet subdivision south of Raleigh was shocking enough. That Young was four months pregnant only made it worse.But it's not all that unusual.

Homicide is the leading cause of death among pregnant women, according to some studies. Others have found it is a leading cause of death among pregnant women and mothers of newborns. Young, who expected to deliver a boy in the spring, was just the latest in a long list of women whose lives were cut short as they tried to bring a new life into the world.

While the discovery of the tooth was coming to light, another source tells eyewitness news that wake investigators looking into young's death are in the mountain town of Brevard today.

The Transylvania county sheriff says his office has been contacted to assist with fingerprinting relatives and friends of Jason Young, who sources say is back home in the Brevard area with his two year-old daughter.

Wake's sheriff confirms his investigators are in the mountains. "We have a lot of leads, over 65 that we're following up on," says Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison. "We go wherever that takes us. And that's probably what they're doing today," he continued.
