Accused killer Kalen Schlatter appeared by video in College Park court on Thursday — his face bearded, in an orange jumpsuit. He spoke clearly as he said good morning and told the Justice of the Peace his name, then stayed silent, nodding as he left. The charge against him was upgraded yesterday in the killing of 22-year-old Tess Richey, from second-degree to first-degree murder. Ted Lioumanis sat with the family in court, greeting them each with a warm embrace when he arrived Thursday morning. Lioumanis told reporters afterward that Schlatter has yet to provide a statement and is not cooperating with police.
