The murdered 10-year-old Lily Peters died of a blunt force injury and was strangled, her autopsy showed.
The girl’s remains were found in the woods near Chipeva Falls, northeast of O’Clair, Wisconsin, on April 25, after she disappeared during a bicycle ride the day before.
Preliminary autopsy results have confirmed that Lily died of strangulation and blunt force trauma, Chippewa County Coroner Ronald Patton said Thursday.
He added that Lily’s autopsy showed that the way of death was murder and said that she expected the results of toxicological tests, which would include DNA tests and more evidence of her alleged rape, within four to six weeks.
Lily’s cousin, 14-year-old Carson Peters-Berger, was arrested on suspicion of murdering and raping a 10-year-old fourth-grader and was held on $ 1 million bail.
Peters-Berger faces a possible life sentence after being charged with three counts of Lily’s death: first-degree premeditated murder, first-degree sexual abuse and first-degree sexual assault on a child.
Lily Peters, 10, visited her aunt’s home in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and her body was found in the woods near a pedestrian walkway in the city on Monday morning.

Prosecutors said in court that Peters-Berger had planned to “rape and kill the victim from the beginning when he left the house with the victim to follow in his footsteps.”
Chipeva County District Attorney Wade Newell said: “He hit the victim in the abdomen, knocked her to the ground, essentially strangled her, hit her with a stick before strangling her to death – before sexually assaulting her.”
Peters-Berger is now in jail at the Northwest Regional Juvenile Detention Center in O’Clair, Wisconsin, and is due to appear in court again next week.

Locals in Chipeva Falls said she was often seen cycling down the trail with her bicycle, which was found near her body.
The place where it was discovered is close to the brewery Jacob Leinenkugel, which is located on the shores of Old Lake. The location overlooks a number of houses on the other side of the lake with an area of 23 acres.

He remains on probation and is on the sex offender registry. He and his lawyers opposed the extended probation because he would not have uncontrolled visits with his son, whom he described in a letter as “the best of me.”
Other letters in support of his attempt to regain uncontrolled contact with his son describe an unhappy child who never smiled and looked unhappy in the company of his 45-year-old mother, Laurie Davis.
When Berger was sent to prison in May 2018, Peters-Berger’s life was shattered, according to his grandmother Mary and family friend Katie Weathers.
His grandmother said, “Carson is not very happy about his father’s disappearance.”
Weathers accused Davis of being a bad mother, saying: “We saw him outside with his mother and he never looks happy.
“He doesn’t smile, he’s always quiet and just looks at the ground and doesn’t talk.”

Davis and Berger separated when their son was two years old and appears to have had a sharp relationship, with Davis filing a child support lawsuit in 2010.
In 2017, before Berger was convicted of child pornography, but after he was arrested and charged, Davis called police over an accident in which he drove his car to her.
Although independent contact with his eight-year-old son was not allowed, charging documents say they were in the vehicle together.
Davis said she first spotted a suspicious car lurking in the driveway behind her home and followed the vehicle before stopping in a random driveway.
After Peters-Berger left, Berger turned to Davis, who then tried to stop him from leaving.
She said he then drove the car toward her, leaving her injured when she rolled off the hood and landed on the ground.
