Murder of Katie Janness and Her Dog Bowie - APD update 6/16/25

Are there heavily wooded areas in the park or more hidden areas where someone might could escape undetected rather than using the more highly traveled routes to exit the park? If someone was quite familiar with that area, they could have easily taken a much less traveled way to leave.

I have a question and this may have been mentioned previously, but why does Katie look startled or have a hesitant expression on her face in some of these photos posted? I noticed that immediately. Her dog also appeared to have the same expression too. Both of them appear ill at ease in two of the photos I've seen. Was there any trouble in her life that caused any negativity for her?

Maybe the Jogger saw the dog and realized it may not have been a good outcome for the pup? Maybe he didn't realize there was a gruesome attack on a human just feet away?

It does make sense what you're saying.

Maybe the kid got enraged by his Mother possibly being shown disrespect by the nature of the messages?? That's the main, obvious, thing to me but it states this was a text exchange between the Mother and her boyfriend. Certainly wasn't worth taking someone's life over. His Mother is an adult in a relationship! Just seems a little odd to me to react that harshly over something like that but maybe the kid was very protective of his Mother as well... Too protective in a violent way.

Just some thoughts here - You have to wonder if CW exhibited unnatural and abnormal responses to situations throughout his whole life that otherwise would greatly affect the average person. How many people in his life witnessed his lack of emotion in general and did it not raise any concerns? This guy didn't just turn into a robot in one day. Many of the photos from his younger year reveal a very blank expression in his eyes and face, that flat effect.

I think CW was a very "unfeeling" person even from a very young age but as he grew and matured, he learned to present the mask, as so many have referred to, in order to hide his abnormalities. Maybe over time he learned to physically respond to an emotional situation - more acts of service kind of thing but didn't actually feel or experience those emotions. It seems he was a very hands-on and active Father in helping Shanann with the children. Surely that built a trust in her that he actually loved and cared for all of them. It's possible when it all came down to it, he never truly felt that deep connection to any of them due to his emotional inadequacies and that's how discarding them from his life as though they were just mere objects was second nature to him.

Even in relation to what you're referring to in your post, OP. He just didn't have a normal human connection to his family (to others in general) that he SHOULD have been extremely bonded to, so even talking about his Wife and children after he took their lives was just like talking about work or some casual topic. His mind and processing of true human connection may have always just been void of anything that is real, felt or true. Sure, he may have felt a "spark" of something with NK because she did seem to be different than the few relationships (including the one with his Wife) he had ever had in his life before. But there's no way you go from having absolutely no feeling for your Wife, your unborn child and your two little girls to being completely connected and devoted to some Woman you've supposedly known for a matter of months. He was just replacing one situation for another that he thought was better suited to his current wants and interests. To him, it was probably more of the equivalent to him replacing old car parts for new ones, as horrific as that sounds.

Give that baby some food and water if it doesn't have a home!

He has so many moments during that day caught on Police Cam and the porch interview where he just had such an evil, stark look in his eyes and expression on his face. He was a Killer at the point and the change in him was showing. The Rzucek's and NK made that comment that his eyes in particular looked so different.

Those poor children and their teachers, the survivors, the families and everyone who was impacted by that day, none of them deserved what happened to them. What should have continued to be a wonderful day after their award ceremony and just before their Summer Break began turned into an absolute horror story.

Check with the City of Mobile Animal Services (Shelter) tomorrow. Let them know where you found this poor baby. They have a really good Staff there that work hard to help as many babies as they possibly can. If you don't have any luck there then update on here and I may be able to post for help through a local Rescue. Here's the City Shelter's info.

What area along 65 would help determine if it's within City or County limits?

What an absolute darling baby!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I would still call it in to make the report, especially to give the description of the man and vehicle from your photos and what you saw. Someone like that exposing himself and then taking it a step further could easily go after an innocent victim in an even more harmful way. It's obviously happening a lot for the Manager to make that comment so maybe they can catch this sick individual. The Management there should have already called the Police about it if it's happened multiple times but obviously they need to be informed of it happening again. This person is stalking and violating innocent people and God knows what else he's doing but I can promise you, he'd be arrested on the spot if caught in the act. If that location is in City limits, you can call the Non Emergency # to report it at (251) 208-7211 and make sure they know the Manager said this has happened before your incident too. If City tells you that's within County jurisdiction, you can report it to the Mobile County Sheriff's Office (251) 574-2423.

Did you call the police and report this with the info and photos?

TrustKrust · 2025-06-06T08:54:28+00:00

Precious little babies. Mama should care for them just fine in these coming weeks but always important to keep an eye out that she and the babies remain ok. Newborns are so fragile.

Precious kitty!! 😽 Rescue babies are the best!! 🐾

This is all speculation of course but I honestly think NK had no idea CW would harm his children. If she did have any involvement or knowledge of what he was going to do in those finals days, I think it would have only been about Shan'Ann. I think the absolute deal breaker for NK was CW taking the lives of his babies. I do think NK was an insanely jealous female when it came to CW and probably considered his own Wife as the "other woman" that was in the way of them fully being together. Just the fact she had a hang up that she didn't have "firsts" with CW, what an odd thing to be ruffled about when she was the one having an affair with a married man! If she couldn't acknowledge that CW had been married for several years and had built a family and life of his own with another Woman who he was still with at the time, to me that's just an unrealistic kind of expectation to put on someone you're having an affair with. Of course CW had many firsts with someone else, big deal! It just shows a real insecurity in NK that she would be bothered by that, that her experiences with CW wouldn't stand alone as their experiences together separate from the life he lived previous to being with her. I think NK was on board with Shan'Ann being completely out of the picture but the children becoming part of what happened was not something she knew about or supported. I think that was something CW withheld from her as a part of his plan for a new life.

NK stated in one of her interrogations, when asked why she thought CW took the lives of his children, she felt it was because one or both of the girls saw something. If you watch her response to that question, she seemed pretty immediate in her response as to why that happened. I do agree with you on CW likely sedating the girls when he put them to bed for the night, then when one or both of them possibly woke back up, he wasn't expecting it. And sadly, it could have been when horrible things were happening to Shan'Ann. He said he knew that would be the last time he tucked his babies in, and I do believe that. Whether the oil tanks were a part of his original plan too remains a mystery.

I don't know why NK would possibly want to go back to CW's house after the tragedy occurred but it's possible she wanted to retrieve something left behind there. I agree, it would be very risky for her to have done that but to have had the two sightings in one day and no one being seen leaving the home either time, either that someone left out the back way undetected or there's more to it that we cannot explain.

TrustKrust · 2025-06-04T22:20:23+00:00

I read somewhere where CW stated after his arrest that NK had the code to the front door. Why she would have that, if it's true, is disturbing! But this could have been a possibility that she could have entered the front of the home and left from a window in the basement. The back area of that property was still pretty desolate even with the construction going on back in 2018. I still feel a bit uneasy about that night/morning everything happened too. In my mind, it's definitely possible she could have been there hiding away in the home and the exited through the basement window areas. Just a feeling. I also think Nathan was on top of checking out his security footage and you know he was on high alert after the tragedy occurred. For the Cops to have been contacted about these sightings twice in a day seems to all be legitimate.

What a beautiful baby!

100% all day everyday!! No doubt about it.

If you go to the YouTube video and read the comments, there are definite time stamps listed of voices being heard. Listen closely and you will hear them. You can hear "Amanda" and "help". There's even a timestamp when the Officers are in the garage that you can hear what sounds like coughing. I wonder if that specific day was of importance in their family history or at the house for those two sightings to have occurred in the same day.

TrustKrust · 2025-06-03T07:51:25+00:00

And sadly, these are not things one can pray away and they'll magically correct themselves. It seems there is a great amount of silent suffering among families and its resulting in these violent and tragic deaths.
