JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - The man accused of killing a Catholic priest and stealing his car for a Disney vacation is expected back in Mississippi next week where he could have a first appearance in court Thursday.

Waveland Police Chief James Varnell says he hopes to bring Jeremy Wayne Manieri back from Florida no later than Wednesday so he can have a hearing the following day in Municipal Court.

Manieri is accused of shooting Reverend Edward E. Everitt of Hammond, Louisiana, with the priest's gun at a beach house in Waveland. Manieri is being held in Polk County, Florida, where he was arrested while traveling with his ex-wife, 10-year-old stepson and five-year-old daughter.

Florida authorities say he gave a detailed confession and left a trail of evidence, including the priest's wallet, car and gun.
