After receiving the call, officers responded to gather information and assist in searching. Within our original Facebook post and media release, we informed the public that Elijah is described as having Hmong and White ethnicity with dark blonde hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing gray pants, a long sleeve dark shirt and red and green dinosaur shoes. He is possibly carrying a red and white plaid blanket as pictured earlier. Additional information received is that Elijah is approximately 3 feet in height and has a birthmark on his left knee.

Local, state, and federal resources were requested to assist with the search. These resources included, but are not limited to, canine and drone units. Additionally, information was sent out to all media, Facebook, A Child Is Missing, and a Wisconsin AMBER ALERT has been issued.

The Two Rivers Police Department is asking all residents to search any outbuildings, vehicles or any other concealed areas they may have on their property in an attempt to locate Elijah. Additionally, if residents have surveillance cameras or Ring doorbells, we are asking the public to please check them for images of Elijah.

The Two Rivers Police Department has received requests from several individuals to use personal drones and personal canines to assist in searching. At this point, please refrain from the use of drones as it may interfere with law enforcement canine and drone searches.

If anyone has information, please contact the state tip line at 844-267-6648 or utilize the P3 app for anonymous tips.

Thank you for everyone’s cooperation and willingness to assist. We will provide additional information as it becomes available.

Was his last sighting outside the home or inside The wording is curious, saying he was seen "at a residence". I have to assume this meant he was last seen inside the home, not outside.

It was only about 36F at 8 am, and his description does not include outdoor weather clothing or footwear.

Posting this just in case others aren't aware of what Hmong is. I didn't till I Goog'ed for it.

The Hmong people (RPA: Hmoob, Nyiakeng Puachue: ‎, Pahawh Hmong: , IPA: [m̥ɔ̃́]) are an indigenous group in East and Southeast Asia. In China, the Hmong people are classified as a sub-group of the Miao people. The modern Hmong reside mainly in Southwest China (Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Guangxi) and countries in Southeast Asia such as Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar.

Interesting that they've issued an Amber Alert and a Child Abduction Alert but there is so little info on circumstances.

Interesting that they've issued an Amber Alert and a Child Abduction Alert but there is so little info on circumstances.

In Wisconsin an Amber Alert can be issued if LE believes a child is in danger, even if there isn't proof of an abduction.

Last seen at 8am and not reported missing until nearly 11am?

That’s <modsnip - circ umventing the profanity filter>if you ask me.
It reminds me of so many other cases in the last 4 1/2 years of me being here. None of the boys have ended well.

moo.

They did for Summer Wells too. The way Leslie at the TBI explained it was they had information that made them upgrade even though there was no suspect or vehicle and they believed she was in grave danger.

This says that he was last seen at his family’s house.

Take them with a grain of salt. <modsnip - SM comments>

I followed Jayme C’s kidnapping on FB and the amount of posts that were just made up was astounding and made me remember why I dislike it so much.

Per the article: The Wisconsin DOJ says a caregiver last saw the child at home around 8 a.m., with no other family or friends in the area.
How convenient. (moo ymmv)

Why was no other family or friends in the area? Is he in foster care?

MISSING 3-YEAR-OLD: The search for Elijah Vue continues in Two Rivers tonight. We watched investigators collect a small slip-on shoe into an evidence bag. The shoe appeared to match the description of what officials say Elijah had on the last time anyone reported seeing him.

I wonder who the “caregiver” was.

Isn’t it sad a kind word like caregiver makes our hackles rise after so many cases? Not saying this caregiver referenced has done anything nefarious at all. I look at this beautiful little boy’s face and wonder if I can do this again. And again.

 

[Limecat]

<modsnip: quoted post was removed>
Is a Child Abduction alert the same as an Amber Alert, or does it literally mean a known abduction? And if not, does it seem off to refer to his alleged shoe as evidence? MOO

 

[Tealgrove]

So the last person to see him was a caregiver? Is he in foster care? Is it a relative? Where are his parents?

Does Elijah have any medical or behavioral disabilities?

Well, that's alarming.

Investigators photographed examining an apartment dumpster and are seen bagging a small child's slip-one shoe, that the reporter says is similar to the description of the shoes the child was described as last seen wearing.

 

[borndem]

Hoping LE will check that found shoe with the one in his home, if possible. Hoping it is not Elijah's. Certainly hoping that both of his shoes are in his home.
