JUNCTION CITY -Bond has been set at $1 million for a man accused in a Junction City homicide case.

The Geary County Attorney’s Office reported Daniel E. Edwards had a first appearance in Geary County District Court where bond was set. The Court appointed a public defender to represent Edwards.

A status hearing and a preliminary hearing in the case are both scheduled for March 24 in Geary County District Court.

Edwards was arrested on suspicion of first degree murder in the death of 52-year old Sharon Moody.

Her body was found last Sunday at her 1015 West Ninth Street residence in Junction City. Edwards was arrested that night in Topeka, and has been transported back to Junction City. He is being held in the Geary County Detention Center.
