WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – A plea deal has been scheduled for the Stratford man charged with murder.
Jared Carl, the man charged with the murder of Christian Schauer, has had a plea hearing scheduled in Marathon County Court for November 17th. Carl is facing several charges including first-degree intentional homicide.
The terms of the plea bargain won’t be known until then.
Investigators said Carl initially claimed that his father, Shawn Carl, shot and killed 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 is charged with harboring or aiding a felon.
Schauer’s body was found in the McMillan Marsh in December of 2020.
