Authorities say 28-year-old James Willie remained in the Tunica County Jail after a Justice Court judge set bond during his initial court appearance.
A sheriff's department employee says Willie's bond was set at $1 million on a murder charge and $250,000 on other charges he faces, including rape and kidnapping.
On May 11, a casino worker was found dead in her car on Mississippi Highway 713 after she had worked a late shift.
Willie is charged in the alleged abduction and rape of a different woman.
He was also expected to be charged in Panola County in the May 8 slaying of a Nebraska motorist on Interstate 55.
