Iliana “Lily” M. Peters’ father called police around 9:00 p.m. on Sunday evening and said his daughter never returned home from a visit at her aunt’s house just blocks away. 

Officers canvassed the area and found her bike in the woods near a walking trail in the area that she disappeared last night.
