One month after his arrest, a man accused of a 2017 murder has pleaded not guilty in Buffalo County Circuit Court.
48-year-old Randall Merrick made his initial court appearance Friday. He faces a charge of first-degree intentional homicide.
The victim, Beth Johnson, was last seen on Christmas Day 2016. Her remains were found in Minnesota last month.
Merrick is being held on one million dollars cash bond. He returns to court in September.
