Kalen Schlatter, who has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, returned to the witness stand on Tuesday morning after telling the court Monday that Richey was alive when he left her alone in the outdoor stairwell of a building under renovation near Church and Dundonald streets in the early morning hours of Nov. 25, 2017.
“You can’t keep your story straight Mr. Schlatter because that is not where she was when you left,” she said, adding that she believes Richey was lying at the bottom of the stairwell dead.In response, Schlatter declared, “I did not kill Tess Richey.”Both Schlatter and Richey had been at Crews and Tangos, a popular bar in the city’s gay village, on the night the 22-year-old disappeared but the accused testified that he didn’t meet Richey until around 2 a.m. after the bar had let out.
Schlatter testified that he and Richey “made out” and “felt each other up” at the bottom of the home’s outdoor stairwell. Video surveillance footage previously presented in court showed Richey and Schlatter walking hand-in-hand down the laneway toward the stairwell at around 4:14 a.m.Richey’s lifeless body was discovered in that stairwell days later by her mother and a family friend who were desperately searching the neighbourhood to find her.
