The man accused of killing the daughter of Concord's police chief held is being held without bond after an initial appearance in a North Carolina court.
Michael Neal Harvey is charged with murder in the death of 23-year-old Valerie Hamilton, the daughter of Concord police chief Merl Hamilton. The 34-year-old Harvey showed no emotion during a court hearing Wednesday in Charlotte.
Harvey returned to Charlotte on Tuesday. He was being held in New York after his arrest in Niagara Falls on Sept. 20, a day after Hamilton's body was found stuffed in a storage locker.
Harvey has denied he killed Hamilton, saying she died in her sleep from a drug overdose.
