The father charged in the death of a missing 2-year-old Virginia girl whose body was found in a suitcase near the PATH tracks in Jersey City in April has been extradited to New Jersey and is expected to appear in court Friday.

Travis Plummer, 37, was arrested in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on April 19, about two weeks after the body of his daughter, Te'Myah, was found in the suitcase. Authorities haven't said how the toddler died, but prosecutors previously said they believe she died outside of New Jersey. 

Plummer was arrested on a charge of desecrating human remains. It's not clear if he will face additional charges, nor was attorney information available. 

Authorities believe the toddler had been dead for several days before her body was found wrapped in a blanket in a suitcase on the tracks underneath the Tonnelle Avenue overpass near Newark Avenue April 11. There were no visible signs of trauma on the girl, who was carefully placed, fully clothed, in the case.

The disturbing discovery on the Newark-bound side of the Jersey City-Journal Square station "rattled" even the most veteran homicide detectives, sources said. There were two suitcases where the baby was found -- one dark, one pink. She was found in the pink one.

Te'Myah Plummer had not been seen by family in Richmond since last August, NBC affiliate WWBT reported in March. Police issued a news release that month saying they thought she was with a family member, but wanted to confirm she was safe. 

Police believed at the time "they may have relocated to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County, North Carolina area or perhaps Jersey City, New Jersey."
