Atlanta, Jul 29 (AP) Authorities on Wednesday were searching for the person who fatally stabbed a woman who was walking her dog in one of Atlanta's most popular parks.
Katherine Janness, 40, was found dead in Piedmont Park around 1 AM Wednesday, police said. Her dog had also been killed.
Police on Wednesday released a photo of the woman crossing a rainbow-painted crosswalk near the park in the city's Midtown neighborhood.
