Found Deceased WI - Elijah Vue, 3 year old Elijah Vue, Two Rivers, 20 Feb 2024

That didn’t occur to me until you wrote it. There’s been no mention of the FBI

Above article states federal crime scene investigators are there.

I understand that but to me a family abduction has no threat to the rest of the community. With the arrests in this case (although we don’t know what for) I presume this is a “familial” type case.

Maybe “remain vigilant” means something different to him that it does me. Maybe he just means “keep your eyes open” for Elijah. To me it means, “stay aware to protect yourself or loved ones”. To Merriam-Webster vigilant means- : alertly watchful especially to avoid danger.

I didn't mean for you to think my response to your post was directed at you. My bad for not saying something like 'jumping off your post'. I looked it up because I didn't know what criteria an amber alert had for WI, and figured others might not either so shared.

With that said... I'm still unsure what LEs reason for deciding it was an AA. I'm sure I'll find out in due time as I tell myself... 'Have patience grasshopper...'

Elijah’s mother, Katrina Baur, has been in police custody since about 4 a.m. Wednesday morning.

We know she is facing a possible charge of party to a crime of child neglect. Baur was supposed to appear along with another man, we are not naming him at this time, but we have information that ties him to this case.

He is also facing a charge of child neglect. He has been in police custody since the night of the boy’s disappearance. No one has been officially charged as the investigation continues.

The FBI is assisting both local and state authorities with resources. Schmidt asked what kind of resources and they say it’s confidential at this time.

Snipped for focus.

Is it common to keep resources confidential in a missing person's case? I'm trying to imagine what investigators would gain by doing that.

Same. I’m trying to figure out what kind of resources would be confidential?? It’s a new phrase for me.*oh, I get it now:
Confidential resources exist so survivors can seek support without reporting to authorities. It may have something to do with sexual violence. *edited out n/a resource

You know LEOs will keep information from the public in a murder case, information only the killer or someone who spoke with the killer would know?

I think this would work the same way. They don't want the people they think are responsible knowing they are on their tail. For example, a LEO might say, "Don't tell the media we're looking at this abandoned building on 8th street."

That makes sense but in your example, would an abandoned building be considered a resource? I wouldn't think so. I'd think their resources would be various agencies, government or otherwise. I'm trying to figure out which agencies they'd prefer to be kept close to their vest. We already know the FBI is on the case. Maybe child services is one they aren't talking about? Perhaps cadaver dogs? *scratches my head in puzzlement*

That would be my first guess, and if they were utilizing horseback searchers that would indicate they are looking a wooded area somewhere (which would imply looking for a body instead of a living child).

They might want to keep it quiet if they're using specialists in something like human trafficking, just so they don't set the rumor mill on fire prematurely?

WLUK-TV has been following the case. The station reports Jesse Vang, whose address in court records matches where the boy was last seen, is expected in court on a requested charge of child neglect.

"There’s a blue tent that is set up in part of the landfill with an excavator nearby.

There are also orange cones and some yellow crime scene tape"

Oh no.

Well that is not a very good sign but it is as many if not most here suspect.

And there ya go, folks. This is likely what LE has been holding close to the vest. Not sure it would hamper their investigation though. How depressing.

No formal charges have been filed. Typically, Manitowoc County holds a bond hearing and then files criminal charges before an initial appearance.

Police found one slip on shoe that matched what Elijah possibly had on outside of the apartment dumpsters Tuesday afternoon/evening. This is really bad. Trash day was Tuesday morning for that complex.

Aaaaand he was "last seen" at 8:00 AM not reported missing until approximately 11:00 AM. How interesting.

 

[Hestia's Fire]

Seems like maybe it was intentional he wasn't reported missing until after the trash pickup, like they thought all the evidence would have been carted off at that point.

What I'm wondering is was he last seen alive? I think that's an assumption a lot of people would make. I know I did. But then I thought... it doesn't necessarily mean he was seen alive. He could have been seen deceased and being carried out of the house. That would still make their statement "last seen" true.

Elijah Vue, 3, was last seen by his adult caregiver at 8 a.m. Tuesday at his home in the 3900 block of Mishicot Road.
