Bones of missing 3-year-old Elijah Vue found in Wisconsin

Authorities confirmed that skeletal remains found by a deer hunter in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, were those of Elijah Vue, a 3-year-old boy who had been missing since February 20. The remains were discovered in a wooded area just over three miles from where Elijah was last seen. Following the identification of the remains, Elijah's family was notified, and the police expressed their devastation over the outcome. Elijah went missing shortly after being handed over to Jesse Vang by his mother, Katrina Baur, for what was described as 'discipline.' An AMBER Alert was issued, and in March, a blanket belonging to Elijah was found approximately 3.7 miles from his last known location. Vang, who reported Elijah missing, has a criminal history involving drug distribution. Both Baur and Vang were arrested and charged with child neglect shortly after Elijah's disappearance. The circumstances surrounding Elijah's disappearance raised significant concerns, particularly regarding the relationship between Baur and Vang, as well as Vang's past. The Vue family has expressed confusion about how Baur knew Vang, who was described as her boyfriend. The tragic discovery of Elijah's remains has left the community and his family in mourning. The police chief emphasized the emotional toll this case has taken on everyone involved, highlighting the profound sense of loss felt by the family and the authorities. This case underscores the importance of child safety and the need for vigilance in protecting vulnerable children.
