SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Charges were dropped against two people arrested in connection to a carjacking and stunning crash down the Sanchez Street Stairs in San Francisco, prosecutors said Friday.

She had been stabbed multiple times, and her dog, Bowie, was found nearby also stabbed to death.Police still do not have a suspect. “You may not have even been in the park that night, but if you’ve heard or saw anything that seems suspicious or just off, please notify us,” Lt. Germain Dearlove said at a news conference. “We will check and confirm every tip. Nothing is too small.”Police have cast a wide net in the investigation, including looking at the victim’s background, he said. They have conducted numerous interviews but can’t say whether the killer knew Janness.“It seems senseless to me,” Dearlove said of the slaying.Janness, ...Dina Boluarte anuncia que pedirá al Congreso de Perú facultades legislativas por 120 días
