Wright was charged last month with strangling the 25-year-old woman the night before and then dumping her body. He then apparently used GPS to get home from the site, according to information the affidavit that led to his April 29 arrest in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, where he now lives.
Wright was transported from Pennsylvania to the Atlantic County Justice Facility on Wednesday night, jail records show.
He is charged with murder. A detention hearing is scheduled for Tuesday before Superior Court Judge Bernard DeLury.
