The name of the suspect in the 2022 homicide of ten-year-old Lily Peters is being unsealed from court records.
The suspect is 16-year-old Carson Peters-Berger. He’s being charged with intentional homicide, sexual assault/great bodily harm and child sex assault. Peters-Berger will be tried as an adult since the defense didn’t prove that the seriousness of his crimes wouldn’t be deprecated if the case was moved to juvenile court. In 2022, Peters was reported missing and her body was later discovered in the woods in Chippewa Falls. During an arraignment in December, a judge said the trial could be delayed until 2026 due to issues with the court calendar.
