On the night of July 27, 2021, 40-year-old Katie Janness left her Midtown Atlanta apartment for a walk with her dog, Bowie. At around 11:30 p.m., she stopped by the restaurant where her partner was working. They spoke briefly, and Katie said she was heading home after finishing the walk. But less than two hours later, she was found brutally murdered inside Piedmont Park, near the 10th Street entrance. She had been stabbed more than 50 times, mutilated, and left with letters carved into her body. There were no witnesses. No surveillance footage. And no clear motive. Four years later, Katie’s case is still unsolved. And the question remains: who would do something like this and why? If you have any information in this case, please call the Atlanta Police Homicide Unit at 404-546-4235 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. There is a $10,000 reward available.
