On October 11 it was confirmed that police had launched an international manhunt for her acid attacker and warned people not to approach the criminal.
Stefan Sylvestre, from Shepherd's Bush, west London, has been recalled to prison but Scotland Yard revealed that he left the country in August.
Sylvestre was given a life sentence in 2009 for the attack which left Katie, then 24, with horrific injuries.
He was jailed for life with a minimum of six years and became eligible for parole in 2015. At the time he was deemed unfit for release but a further application in 2018 was successful and he was freed aged 30, but ordered to stay away from Katie.

In 2019 he was recalled to prison over a string of car thefts but got parole again in 2020 and was released after prosecution errors came to light.
Sylvestre has now been recalled to prison once again and warned that he faces more time behind bars after going missing. But now the Met Police has revealed that the criminal left the country on Tuesday, August 2.
Scotland Yard issued an appeal for information to find Sylvestre.

The statement said: 'Officers are appealing for information to find a man wanted for recall to prison.
'Police were notified on Friday, 23 September, that Stefan Sylvestre, 34, had been recalled to prison. His last known address was in north London.
'Enquiries undertaken so far indicate that Sylvestre left the UK on Tuesday, 2 August. Officers from the Met's Specialist Crime Command continue to work with partner agencies to locate and arrest him. Sylvestre should not be approached.

'Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call police on 999 quoting CAD6239/23Sep.
'To give information anonymously contact the independent charity Crimestopperson 0800 555 111.'
Katie was left fighting for her life after her obsessive ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch arranged for then 19-year-old Sylvestre to throw sulphuric acid at her in Golders Green, north London in 2008.
Daniel Lynch was jailed for life with a minimum of 16 years for sexually assaulting Katie and telling Sylvestre to throw acid over her in 2008. He cannot be considered for release until 2025.
