Prosecutors say Nikki Kuhnhausen, 17,
vanished from Vancouver,
Washington, in June 2019, just hours
after meeting David Bogdanov, then
25, and exchanging messages on
Snapchat.
Four months later in a meeting with
police, Bogdanov told them the last
time he had seen Kuhnhausen was
when he asked her to get out of his
car, after she told him she was
transgender.
He told police he was "shocked to find
that out. And just uncomfortable and
really, really disturbed." Bogdanov
told police he had no idea where
Kuhnhausen went after she left him.
"This is a narrative and a story that
plays out … all the time," says Devon
Davis Williamson, a transgender
activist and co-founder of the Justice
for Nikki Task Force. "When trans
people go missing, they're usually
found deceased."
Six months after she disappeared,
Kuhnhausen's body was discovered
by a hiker on Larch Mountain.
Bogdanov was arrested after cell
tower data placed his phone where
Kuhnhausen's body was found.
"Most of the time in our culture and
our country, if a trans person is killed,
there is not an arrest made,"
Williamson says. "We think it's right
around 30% of trans people who are
murdered … have someone arrested
and fully prosecuted."
At his trial, Bogdanov said he killed
Kuhnhausen in self-defense when, he
says, she reached for his gun. He
testified that he panicked after
realizing she was dead and dumped
her body at Larch Mountain. He was
found guilty of her murder and
malicious harassment, a hate crime.
He was sentenced to the maximum,
19-and-a-half years in prison.
Kuhnhausen's mother and supporters
from the Justice for Nikki Task Force
worked with legislators in Washington
to pass Nikki's Law. It's designed to
prevent defendants charged with
violent crimes from using sexual
orientation or gender identity as an
excuse for violence, the so-called
"gay" or "trans panic defense."
"I want her death to mean something
to someone who may contemplate
hurting another transgender person,"
says Woods.
"SHE WAS ALWAYS NIKKI"
Lisa Woods will never forget the day
her life changed forever. It was June 6,
2019. That's when her daughter Nikki
Kuhnhausen seemingly vanished.
Woods says they talked daily before
work. |

Zamfara State government has directed the
State Police Commissioner, Mr. Ayuba
Elkanah to issue licenses to residents of the
State who are qualified to use guns for self-
defense.
This came in reaction to the rising rate of
insecurity in the State.
The State government also directed
individuals to prepare and obtain guns to
defend themselves against the bandits that
have occupied almost all parts of the State.
This was contained in a press statement
signed and issued to newsmen in Gusau,
the State capital by the commissioner for
information, Hon. Ibrahim Magaji Dosara.
The statement noted that the government
was very much ready to facilitate people,
especially farmers in the rural areas to
secure basic weapon for self-defense.
“The government has already concluded
arrangements to distribute 500 forms to each
of the 19 Emirates in the State for those
willing to obtain guns for self-defense.
“People should apply from the State
commissioner of police licenses to own their
guns and other basic weapons for self-
defense,” he said.
According to the commissioner, a Secretariat
would be established for the collection of
intelligence on the activities of informants
supplying information to the bandits.
“People are strictly warned and advised to
ensure that any information or intelligence
about informants must be true and nothing
but the truth as all information on the
informants must carry correct data on the
suspects.
“Such information must include their
pictures, correct names, addresses,
occupation and witnesses to testify the
genuineness of the information given as the
government will take punitive measures
against anyone found to the bandits’
informants.
“Any person who gives wrong information
against anyone would also be made to serve
the same punishment with the informant and
will be treated as such,” he stated.
Dosara further stated that the government
had requested the State House of Assembly
to as a matter of urgency pass the informant
bill before it into law to enable the State
government take its planned drastic
measures on informants as contained in the
bill.
Speaking further, the commissioner said that
the government had ordered for the
recruitment of 200 additional Community
Protection Guards in each of the 19
Emirates, bringing the number to 500 per
Emirate to increase their manpower and
strengthen its force and capacity to deal with
the bandits.
“To further ensure the efficiency and
effectiveness of these measures and as well
the proper implementation of the measures,
the government has ordered the formation of
a special committee that would be receiving
intelligence on the activities of the
informants,” he said.
The committee would be headed by the
Secretary to the State Government (SSG),
Alhaji Kabiru Balarebe.
Others members include DIG Mamman
Ibrahim Tsafe,
Commissioner Security, Ibrahim Magaji
Dosara, the State commissioner for
information, Hon. Nasiru Masama,
commissioner for youths, among others.
The statement added that no stone will be
left unturned in order to eliminate all the
terrorists terrorizing the entire State. |

hmmm “You know that Lewandowski, Kounde, Raphinha, and Bernardo Silva will not come [to Barcelona]? You know that, don’t you?” “I don’t buy the talk of Barcelona’s signings. They are blatantly selling smoke. What they say clashes with reality and I have no choice but to warn people that this is not going to happen.” Freixa | Source |

Lewandowski can buy himself out of his contract with Bayern Munich for a sum of €24 million. And the centre-forward’s agent, Pini Zahavi, is well aware of this rule and could decide to activate it in case Bayern do not agree to sell the Poland international. |
