WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — One of the three suspects in the death of Christian Schauer will be headed to trial.
Jared Carl, 20, was in Marathon County Circut Court on April 27th for a preliminary hearing. Carl is facing multiple charges related to the death of 20-year-old Christian Schauer. Those charges include 1st-degree intentional homicide, taking and driving a vehicle without the owner’s consent, possessing THC with the intent to deliver, and obstructing or resisting an officer.
A judge found there was enough evidence that a crime had been committed and bound Carl over for trial. He will return to court on June 21st for an arraignment hearing where he will enter pleas to the four charges.
Investigators said Carl initially said his father, Shawn Carl, shot and killed Chris Schauer. Prosecutors said Shawn Carl did know about the alleged murder and help conceal Schauer’s vehicle. Shawn Carl was arrested in February and held on first-degree intentional homicide until Audrey Benson came forward saying Jared Carl killed Schauer. Benson pleaded not guilty to charges of hiding a corpse and aiding a felon as the third suspect in the case.
Shawn Carl returns to court next week for a calendar call. Benson returns to court on June 7th.
