Murder suspect Jonathan Ritchey appeared in court again on Thursday afternoon with an additional charge of kidnapping.
Both the state and prosecutor reserved on changing Ritchey's release terms, so his bond remained the same at $100,000, Judge James Triplet said.
His charges now match his uncle, Gary L. Stoddard, who was arrested earlier this week for the murder and kidnapping of victim Heather Cassel.
Cassel's body was fond early Monday morning after witnesses said they heard a woman screaming and gun shots at an apartment complex near Spokane Falls Community College.
Ritchey will appear in court for his arraignment on March 26th at 11:30 a.m.
