Narrative:

Went missed approach at 2700 ft and 1 mi inside the marker. We were asked to maintain 2000 ft. Departure asked if traffic was in sight. It was not visually, we were in IMC, but TCASII showed traffic ahead, same direction 60 ft above us and climbing, 3 mi away. We were told to maintain heading of 070 degrees. No more mention of traffic after that call. We complied with ATC instructions for the missed approach but felt traffic was no factor based on reliable TCASII information. Both crew members concurred on all the events as they occurred.
