Thanks for keeping tabs on this one, Niner.Kotzebue man pleads guilty to 2018 murder and sex abuse of 10-year-old Ashley Johnson-Barr
June 22, 2021
Peter Vance Wilson, a man accused of kidnapping, sexually abusing and killing 10-year-old Ashley Johnson-Barr in Kotzebue in 2018, pleaded guilty to first degree murder and first degree sexual abuse of a minor Monday.

According to a Monday statement from the State of Alaska Department of Law, Wilson eventually confessed to the murder after the case investigator, Sgt. Scott Bartlett with the Alaska State Troopers, confronted him with the evidence linking him to the crime.

As part of the plea, Wilson admitted to all conduct alleged in the initial charges and also four statutory aggravating factors to be considered in his sentencing: deliberate cruelty towards the victim, targeting a vulnerable victim, most serious conduct within the class of offense and similar prior conduct involving one or more other victims.
Wilson’s sentencing is set for Sept. 21. The State of Alaska and Wilson entered into a plea agreement prior to Wilson’s change of plea. If the court accepts the plea agreement, Wilson will be sentenced to a total sentence of 198 years with 99 years suspended.
