A suspect has been arrested in the murder of 10-year-old Illiana “Lily” Peters. As we previously reported, Lily was reported missing by her father in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin on Sunday night after she failed to return home from visiting her aunt’s house.
Her bicycle was later found on a walking trail near that house. On Monday morning, the child’s body was discovered in a wooded area off the trail.

According to the Star Tribune, he said: Authorities did not reveal the name, age, or gender of the suspect, nor how the suspect and Lily knew each other. (At one point of the press conference, Kelm let slip of the suspect that “he is in custody.”) It did not appear that charges have yet been filed against the suspect, as Kelm stated that the Chippewa County District Attorney’s Office will decide what charges to file.
He did express: A search warrant for “information tied to the killing” was executed, and Kelm confirmed that “Evidence was collected, and additional interviews were conducted,” though he did not elaborate as to the nature of that evidence.
