A vigil was held for a 77-year-old lady who was stabbed to death at her house in a gated Atlanta community as police sought a person of interest.
On Saturday evening, a large group of people showed up to hold a vigil for Eleanor Bowles, 77, in front of her home in Atlanta’s Buckhead district. The mother and grandmother were recalled as “one of the most wonderful persons that you could ask” by her family and friends.
She was a kind and compassionate person
Bowles’s close friend and family member, Annette Loper, praised her as a kind and compassionate person. Spending time with her golden retriever was her primary pastime. She remarked, “Oh my goodness, she loved. The death of Bowles has left her loved ones in a state of disbelief, they say. WANF adds that they are still optimistic, however, that justice will be done.

At a press briefing on Sunday morning, authorities suggested that Bowles may have witnessed the theft of her 2021 Lexus SUV. Police in DeKalb County found the car after it had been reported stolen.
