ATLANTA — Atlanta Police Homicide Investigators released photographs of multiple people who they believe were in the area of Piedmont Park when a woman and her dog were brutally stabbed last week.
Police said these people are not suspects, they simply want to find out if they have any information about the crime or if they may have seen anything.
Atlanta Police responded to Piedmont Park before sunrise on July 28 and began investigating the killings of a 40-year-old woman and her dog. The woman, identified as Katie Janness, had been stabbed multiple times, according to detectives.
