I don't think that's what happened. I don't think Vang sent the photo to Baur.
According to the link below, the mother went to Vang's apartment on Feb 14.
"In the car with her the morning of Feb. 14, the criminal complaint says, is Baur's young daughter. Baur exchanged messages with Vang about leaving the child in the car while she came into the apartment for sex."
"Then, at 3:13 a.m., with her daughter alone in the car -- outside in temperatures ranging from 36 to 27 degrees -- court documents show a photo of Elijah Vue was taken on Baur's phone, inside Vang's apartment."
"The criminal complaint says the picture, which was deleted about an hour after it was taken, showed Vue laying on a bed, blindfolded. It also appeared he had bruising on his jaw line, the left side of his neck and on the upper part of his left arm."
So it's possible the mother took the photo.
Elijah Vue, reported missing nearly three weeks ago, was seen blindfolded and bruised in a now-deleted photo on his mother's phone, according to the complaint.
