A Clayton County man accused of killing a 15-year-old Forest Park girl and hiding her body withdrew his request for bond on Friday.
Marshae Hickman, 19, was already in jail after a burglary arrest last month when Clayton police charged him with murder and concealing a body in the death of Candice Parchment.
According to a police arrest warrant affidavit, Hickman confessed to choking Candice to death.
Candice disappeared on the night of April 28, 2010. Her body was found seven months later hidden beneath a discarded mattress behind an apartment complex off Old Dixie Highway in Forest Park.
Police say they were able to identify Hickman as a suspect from information in Candice's diary, which her mother found while moving last month.
Hickman remains in the Clayton jail waiting for his case to go before a grand jury.
