( CNN ) -- A man authorities want to question in the slaying of a 7-year-old girl , whose body was dumped in a landfill , appeared in a Florida court Wednesday on child pornography charges after being extradited from Mississippi . Jarred Harrell , 24 , faces 29 counts of possession of child pornography in Clay County , Florida . Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler has said Harrell is also sought for questioning in the abduction and murder of Somer Thompson , but has not said why . Harrell was arrested in Meridian , Mississippi , by federal agents earlier this month , and Florida Gov . Charlie Crist asked Mississippi Gov . Haley Barbour to extradite him . The arrest followed a search of Harrell 's residence , Clay County authorities said . Somer Thompson was last seen in the Clay County town of Orange Park on October 19 . Her body was found in a landfill in Folkston , Georgia , about 55 miles north of there . Authorities have not said how she was killed . Somer 's 10-year-old sister told police that Somer had been in a fight with another girl at school earlier that day and that she brought up the subject while she and her brother walked Somer home from school . Somer ran off , apparently upset . The sister said she lost sight of Somer in a group of other children leaving the school , according to a police report . Police said in October that witnesses including several children reported seeing her that day on a sidewalk in front of a vacant house that was being renovated following a fire . At Wednesday 's hearing , a judge continued Harrell 's $ 1 million bond .
