JERSEY CITY, New Jersey (WPVI) -- A Virginia man whose toddler daughter's body was found in a suitcase next to train tracks in New Jersey earlier this year has been arraigned on a count of disturbing or concealing human remains.
Travis Plummer didn't speak at Tuesday's hearing. The 37-year-old Richmond man had previously pleaded not guilty.

Authorities say Plummer took 23-month-old Te'Myah Layauna Plummer from her mother in Virginia last fall and traveled to New Jersey with the decomposing body wrapped inside a suitcase. The body was found April 11.
A cause of death hasn't been announced.
Authorities believe Plummer left the suitcase in a friend's garage in Jersey City and dumped it near the tracks after police came to the friend's house in March.
