VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — Bail for a man accused in the slaying of a transgender Vancouver, Wash., teenager was increased this week after prosecutors provided new information about the man's potential flight risk.
The Columbian reports Clark County Superior Court Judge David Gregerson increased David Bogdanov’s bail from $750,000 to $2 million.
Bogdanov of Vancouver is charged with second-degree murder and malicious harassment, now legally a hate-crime offense in Washington, in Nikki Kuhnhausen's death.
Authorities allege Bogdanov strangled Kuhnhausen after learning she was transgender.
Senior Deputy Prosecutor Colin Hayes said this week that investigators learned that Bogdanov bought a one-way ticket to Ukraine on the day of Kuhnhausen’s death.
