TWO RIVERS, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Monday marks three months since 3-year-old Elijah Vue was reported missing.
Soon after police began their search on Feb. 20, both his mother, Katrina Baur, and her boyfriend, Jesse Vang, were arrested. They remain jailed on child neglect charges. Prosecutors say Baur sent her son to stay with Vang at his Two Rivers apartment to learn discipline.
Two Rivers Police Chief Ben Meinnert said last month that the search for Elijah Vue had taken officers to some “unpleasant” places. Meinnert said the search had been narrowed to a 15-to-20-square-mile area around Two Rivers.
On March 18, police revealed that a blanket found between Two Rivers and Manitowoc was confirmed to have belonged to Elijah Vue.
Police have also asked the public to check surveillance cameras for video of a beige Nissan Altima that may be connected to the case.
Anything found that may be related to the case should be reported by calling 1-844-267-6648 or through Manitowoc County Crime Stoppers online.
Rewards totaling $40,000 are being offered in the case.
Elijah Vue is described as having dark blond hair and brown eyes. He is about three feet tall, weighs about 45 pounds and has a birthmark on his left knee.
