I know how to google, but I can never figure out how to get to the actual records.
Maybe something on this page:
Hudson Vicinage
I have no idea. I'm really not good at finding court records like you are.

I'm not finding any media coverage of the 1/23 court appearance.

This recap of the case was published Jan 3, 2019:

New Jersey's biggest news stories in 2018 included several major crimes.

Among those were two cases in which kids were killed by stray gunfire, a bus crash that claimed a teacher and student, and a brutal assault that was deemed a hate crime.

Here's a look back at some of the most noteworthy crime stories of 2018.

Child's body found in suitcase
The body of 23-month-old Te'Myah Layauna Plummer was found in a suitcase near railroad tracks in Jersey City last April.

An autopsy determined she died of cocaine intoxication and "violence," though exactly when and where she died remains unclear.

The grisly discovery led to the arrest of her father in Puerto Rico. Travis Plummer is charged with disturbing or concealing human remains.

The girl's mother, who lives in Virginia, told police that Plummer took the child from her and went to North Carolina.

He later "traveled to New Jersey with the decomposing body of Te'Myah wrapped in multiple bags in a suitcase," prosecutor's revealed in July, and, after hiding the suitcase in a friend's garage, disposed of it along the train tracks.

Why the person responsible for death of girl found in suitcase hasn’t been charged (and may never be)


The case of a 23-month-old girl found dead in a suitcase near Journal Square heaps tragedy upon tragedy.

While Te’Myah Plummer’s father, Travis Plummer, has been charged with dumping her body beside railroad tracks last year, uncertainty of where and when the girl died has prevented any further charges from being filed.

Plummer, 38, is charged with desecrating human remains after the toddler’s body was found April 11 alongside train tacks just outside Journal Square. The charge carries a possible sentence of five to 10 years, but Plummer could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted due to his priors, which include a conviction for child abuse after his 8-month-old son drowned in a bathtub in Virginia in 2005.
[.....]
Since then, an autopsy on Te’Myah’s decomposed body revealed she died of cocaine intoxication and unspecified violence, and ruled her death a homicide. However, the report did not determine the time of her death or the location. That has made it impossible for prosecutors to claim they have jurisdiction and file homicide charges, a source with knowledge of the investigation said.
[.....]
At a plea cutoff hearing Monday morning, Seborowski said the state has no plea offer for Plummer. As a result, Hudson County Superior Court Judge Patrick Arre set April 1 for the start of jury selection for Plummer’s trial, which is expected to last less than two weeks.

Monday, April 1st:
*Jury Selections begins (@ am ET) - NJ- Te'Myah Layauna Plummer (2) (Last seen Aug. 2017, Virginia; found Apr. 11, 2018 Jersey City near PATH tracks in a suitcase) - *Travis Lamont Plummer (37) "father" arrested in Puerto Rico (4/19/18), extradited (7/5/18), charged (4/23/18) & arraigned (10/9/18) with 2nd degree disturbing/desecrating human remains. Plead not guilty. Bond set at $250K cash or $500K Surety bond.
Trial starts 4/1/19, should last 2 weeks. Judge Arre also ruled that a 4-hour statement Plummer gave to authorities in Puerto Rico will be admissible at trial. He made the statement while being interview by an FBI agent, a Port Authority police officer and a homicide detective from the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office.
4/1/19: Note: Court site does NOT show this trial happening.
