She Was Murdered This Summer Along With Her Dog While Out Walking In A Park And These Are The Terrible Details Of Her Autopsy Report
Atlanta, Georgia. 40-year-old Katie Janness took her dog, Bowie, with her out for a walk in the early morning hours of July 28th.
Katie was last seen on surveillance footage at 12:09 in the morning walking with Bowie through Atlanta’s Midtown area before she ended up heading to Piedmont Park.
While Katie and Bowie were inside of the park, they were brutally murdered. Their bodies were later found at approximately 1:10 that morning after a call came in about a person having been stabbed.
Katie and her dog both suffered from multiple stab wounds, and by the time officers had arrived, they sadly could not do anything to save them.

“Katie was gruesomely murdered in Piedmont Park early Wednesday morning. Katie was a kind, beautiful and loyal partner,” a GoFundMe page created to help cover the cost of Katie’s funeral reads.
“Today I lost the love of my life and my baby boy. It was tragic,” Katie’s wife Emma wrote.
“She was the most intelligent, kind, humble, and beautiful person I have ever known. I wanted to spend every second with her.”
“He was the sweetest most loyal companion. My heart is so very broken, my world will never be the same. Thank you to everyone who has reached out. It is truly appreciated.”

It’s now been several months since Katie and Bowie’s lives were taken, and their killer is still out there.
Although the Atlanta Police Department has asked the public for help, offered a reward, and even released photos of people in the park around the time of Katie and Bowie’s murders that they would like to talk to, they still don’t know who did this.
New details from Katie’s autopsy report revealed just how terrible this attack on her and her beloved dog really was.
Katie was stabbed 50 different times, and 15 of which were to her face. Katie’s killer also used a knife to write the letters F, A, and T across her chest.
What happened to Katie is completely brutal and heartless, and it’s hard to imagine the monster who took her life and the life of Bowie is still out there.
If you have any information related to Katie and Bowie’s case, please call the Atlanta Police Homicide Unit at 404-577-8477.
