MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Elijah Vue’s aunt posted a message of gratitude on social media just hours before the first court appearance in the case since the 3-year-old boy’s remains were found.
Vue was reported missing Feb. 20. His remains were found Sept. 7 on private property in Manitowoc County.
Late Thursday, Linda Vue posted a message on Facebook regarding the support the family has received:
We, Elijah’s family want to express our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming love, support, and prayers you’ve shown for Elijah. In such a difficult time, your kindness and compassion have brought us great comfort. The fact that so many of you care deeply for Elijah means the world to us, and we are forever grateful.
We understand that many of you want to honor Elijah in your own special ways, such as through memorial services or virtual vigils. Although our family has not been directly involved in the planning of these events, we want you to know how much we appreciate the genuine love and thoughtfulness behind them. Elijah means so much to us, and seeing the impact he’s had on others is both moving and comforting.
At this time our family is grieving the loss of Elijah and we are asking for privacy as we navigate through our pain and sorrow. Your thoughts and prayers mean so much to us, and while we may not be able to respond to everyone right now, please know that your kindness is felt and appreciated.
Vue’s mother, Katrina Baur, and his caregiver, Jesse Vang, face neglect charges for treatment of Vue before he disappeared. No one faces charges in connection with the boy’s death.
Vang’s attorneys appeared in court Friday afternoon for a status conference.
During the video conference, both the defense and prosecution asked for another 30 day to continue working on the case. The judge agreed.
Vang’s next status conference was set for Nov. 6. No trial date has been set in his case.
Baur returns to court Oct. 22 for a status conference. She recently changed attorneys. No trial date has been set in her case.
