MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – No trial date was set Wednesday for Katrina Baur, the mother of Elijah Vue, the 3-year-old boy who was reported missing and later found dead last year.
Baur, 32, faces four charges, including chronic neglect of a child-consequence is death. She was in court Wednesday for the first time since October, where a June 13 scheduling conference was set.
Jesse Vang, the caregiver who reported Vue missing, faces charges including physical abuse of a child causing death and hiding a corpse. He has a scheduling conference March 13. No trial date has been set in his case.
Vang reported the child missing in February of 2024. Baur and Vang were both jailed on child neglect charges soon after. Prosecutors said Baur sent her son to stay with Vang, her boyfriend, for “disciplinary reasons.”
In September, a man preparing his land for hunting season found human remains on private property in Manitowoc County. The remains were later confirmed to be those of Vue.
Doctors who examined the boy’s remains determined the toddler suffered from physical abuse, psychological and emotional maltreatment, as well as neglect. Healed fractures on Vue’s skull and face were also found by doctors.
