It wasn't immediately clear Friday whether authorities in Mississippi or Louisiana will attempt to delay the transfer of 39-year-old Terry Christopher Speaks.
Mississippi investigators have identified Speaks and 28-year-old Margaret Sanchez as suspects in the death of 22-year-old Jaren Lockhart, a Bourbon Street strip club dancer. Neither has been charged in the case.
Speaks appeared before a federal magistrate in New Orleans on Friday following his arrest this week on a North Carolina warrant accusing him of failing to register as a sex offender.
