Your feelings are shared. I find comfort in knowing that the FBI continues to be involved as noted in the link shared. There is a strong possibility that the killer could be prosecuted under FED law as a hate crime. That is so disturbing that someone could lose their life over who they love. And, if Katie knew her killer...

Piedmont Park murder: 'A familiarity' between victim and killer, investigators say
.
What puzzles me the most about this murder is that people who were in and near the park when the murder occurred later told police that they heard neither screams nor a dog barking. This is indeed puzzling when one considers the level of violence directed against both Katherine and Bowie. As a native Atlanta resident who once lived in Midtown I know from experience that Piedmont Park is a very busy location and that people walk thru it at all hours--even in the early morning. So how is it that no one heard Katherine scream or Bowie bark? One theory is that the killer was someone that both Katherine and Bowie were both familiar with. This would have allowed the killer to get close enough to stab them without alarming them. If this was the case, my guess is that the killer probably killed Bowie first, as he posed the greatest threat to him/her. He may have been petting him and then suddenly slit his throat so he could not bark, then finished him of off. I'm sure it happened very fast and poor Katherine might have been unable to scream immediately due to her shock and disbelief at seeing someone she knew and trusted killing her dog. When the killer attacked Katherine, he probably did the same thing--slit her throat first then finished her off. This would explain why no one heard any screams or barking. Also, the level of violence in the attack seems to indicate that it was very personal. Another theory I've heard is that there were 2 assailants who launched a sudden, simultaneous "blitz" attack: one targeting Katherine and the other targeting Bowie. Again, it would have been very quick and unexpected. If Katherine and Bowie had their throats slit first they would not have been able to make any noise. The 2 perpetrators may or may not have known Katherine and Bowie.Your feelings are shared. I find comfort in knowing that the FBI continues to be involved as noted in the link shared.
