VANCOUVER, Wash. — A Vancouver man will serve the maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the murder of Nikki Kuhnhausen.
Kuhnhausen, who is transgender, disappeared in June 2019. Her remains were found nearly six months later on Larch Mountain in a remote part of Northeast Clark County.
Six months later, police arrested David Bogdanov in connection with her death. Bogdanov claimed he killed Kuhnhausen in self-defense after a sexual encounter where he found out she was transgender, and said that she attacked him.
Prosecutors disputed Bogdanov's statements about how he killed Kuhnhausen and hid her body, saying the evidence shows that this was not a justifiable homicide.
On August 27, a jury found Bogdanov guilty of murder in the second degree and malicious harassment. Then on Thursday, Bogdanov was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Judge David Gregerson became emotional when reading his statement about the case and trial, pointing to Kuhnhausen's identity and the challenges she faces as a transgender teen.
Surrounded by family and friends, Nikki's mom spoke outside of the courtroom after the verdict.
"You know she was just a baby, she was just a teenager and he took her life and you know, he got the maximum and that's what he deserves," said Lisa Woods.
In court today, the judge said the trial should represent the movement in the community from darkness to light.

A surprise penis? That’s attempted rape. I would vote not guilty.
Imagine being with a woman and then finding .. i can’t even imagine. Damn deviant sicko. And didn’t even warn the guy?
A lot of this can be laid at the feet of the obscene “hook-up” culture, whether homo or not. Easy, free, and consequence-free casual sex is the putrid fruit of the 60’s sexual revolution, and absent that, this crime probably would not have occurred.
Sex used to be virtually arranged through courtship under the watchful eyes of parents and family. not anymore.
If a man surprises some woman with his penis, she can gun him down and walk. That’s a rapist. The sicko surprised a person with his penis... he was justified in self defense. Also if the person was that psycho, is it a big stretch to imagine it also attacked the man when he got disgusted?
Case by case....
And it wasn’t “at will”. It was in response to a violent attack and a sexual attack.
The latest drumbeat the last several years has been a denigration of ANYONE who refuses to even consider dating a “transgender” person. “Transphobic,” they call us. And what they suggest now, they will most definitely mandate tomorrow.
This death, among others, will be used to further that mandate.
“, who is transgender, “
No one is transgender. End of discussion.
Is trangender? More like was transgender.
The guy maintained he was attacked.
It is entirely believable in these days of violent Woke and other deranged lunatics that one might get violent because their particular crazy isn’t honored.
So, yes, “if”.
Murder is murder and should be punished as such. Period.
They aren’t honest with themselves. Why would you expect them to be honest with others?
Perhaps, but this will become more common.
Hiding the body tends to undermine a self-defense argument...
In Oregon? The death penalty only applies to the unborn in Oregon.
If hooking up with a chick,
and you find a d***,
the murder beef shouldn’t stick...

Wait. What does the phrase “murder beef” refer to? Eeeeewww.
"the judge said the trial should represent the movement in the community from darkness to light"
Her remains were found nearly six months later on Larch Mountain in a remote part of Northeast Clark County.
With murder he took things way to far but a guy pretending to be female up until sex is also very wrong.
It was a HE that was killed, NOT a SHE.
He probably should have practiced “trust but verify”
We have a local case of the same thing. Black football player killed an older white catfish.
