"We kept that memorial alive for a month. I think that’s a big milestone," Chris McKinley said.
Chris McKinley never knew Katie personally but was drawn to do something to keep her memory alive.
"I drive past and I walk past every day and I see people standing there and looking at it. Almost as if it’s the Washington monument. It truly is a memorial that people are visiting," McKinley said.
McKinley, along with others, are committed to growing the memorial into something more permanent.
They are raising money for memorial benches and a tree to be planted in Katie’s memory.
McKinley believes those who live in the area are walking on eggshells until the person responsible is found.
"I assure you that the men and women assigned to this investigation are working around the clock," an investigator with Atlanta Police said.
A GoFundMe to assist the family with funeral expenses has been set up.
