The Brutal Unsolved Murder of Katie Janness & Her Dog Bowie (Patreon Unlocked)

Timestamp to skip straight to the case: (8:31)

Welcome back to another episode of the True Crime Society Podcast.

In July 2021, Katie and Bowie were taking a late-night walk through Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia. This was their routine as Katie worked as a bartender.

When Katie did not arrive as scheduled to pick up her partner Emma from work, Emma set out to look for her. She used a phone tracking app and discovered that Katie’s phone was in Piedmont Park. Emma went to the park and there she discovered the lifeless bodies of both Katie and Bowie.

Katie had been brutally stabbed to death - she had 50 stab wounds to her face, neck and torso. The letters F A T had also been carved into her body.

Now, four years later, the murders of Katie and Bowie remain unsolved. A $25,000 reward is being offered for information in the case.
