Midtown Atlanta is reliving a heartbreaking chapter that began four years ago when 34-year-old Katherine “Katie” Janness was found brutally murdered. Despite tireless investigations, her case remains unsolved—a painful void that continues to haunt her family, friends, and community.
In a renewed push, authorities have increased the reward for information following an arrest from $10,000 to $25,000. They hope this boost will finally break the nearly four-year silence and bring forward witnesses or new leads that could stop Katie’s killer from evading justice a moment longer.
