Meinnert also asked the public to "refrain from spreading rumors and false information" as doing so can hinder search efforts for Vue. He emphasized that all official facts and information will come from TRPD.

Dozens of community members attended a prayer vigil Wednesday night at St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Parish in Two Rivers. Tori Weaver, a mother of four boys, organized the event.

[...]

Meanwhile, residents have been organizing search parties of their own in an effort to find Vue. One took place Wednesday morning near 39th Street and Martin Lane, the area where Vue was last seen.

I think the reason the "remain vigilant" could be because not only have they not found him but also the arrests could be for something else and not related to Elijah's disappearance. Until otherwise they are using that wording. IMO

Two Rivers Police Chief Ben Meinnert says authorities are following up on leads, searching neighborhoods and working tirelessly to find Elijah Vue, a missing three-year-old boy.

Vue was last seen Tuesday morning at his family's home in Two Rivers.

"Since the moment Elijah was reported missing, our law enforcement, from local state and federal agencies, along with dedicated volunteers and community members, had been working tirelessly around the clock to search every inch of our city and beyond into the county," Meinnert said at a news conference Wednesday night. "Our search and rescue teams have been combing through our neighborhoods, parks, wooded areas, and they've been following up on all leads and tips from the public."

“Elijah’s extended family hasn’t had contact with him or his parents for the past couple years.”

Family came in to help search so they appear caring. I wonder what caused such a long time of no contact.

I am not sure if it’s just so they “appear caring” to the public—IMO, it’s totally possibly that EV’s parent simply refused to allow family members to see or speak with her or EV, which I don’t think reflects a lack of genuine care or concern by those family members who are speaking out about the case.

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my wording - I really did mean that they sincerely appear to care for Elijah. I was just wondering what happened to disconnect them from Elijah and his parents for such a long period.

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my wording - I really did mean that they sincerely appear to care for Elijah. I was just wondering what happened to disconnect them from Elijah and his parents for such a long period.

My guess would be, Elijah's parents intentionally distanced themselves (and Elijah, and any other kids there might be) from family to do their own thing. Whatever that entails.

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

no news at the press update last night. I had hope when it was to be held at 8pm that they had significant developments they needed to wrangle logistics on before updating us. I was let down to find there is no real update at all, hust requests to continue looking and remain vigilant

Police said state and federal emergency response teams are now involved with local agencies in the search, including drones and K9 teams.

I've seen mention of the FBI in several places. I'm going to guess it's the gentleman in a suit.

An unnamed representative of the FBI was standing next to Chief Meinert, as was Manitowoc County Sheriff Dan Hartwig, as he revealed that every tip is being followed and that the Two Rivers Police Department has received help from many different sources.

Despite this, police have not confirmed if there are any suspects in the case or what they believe could have happened to Elijah.

Police spent most of Wednesday, February 21, at an apartment complex retrieving potential evidence in the case.

Also, the missing poster and amber alert is on Milwaukee FBI's X site. Although I could be wrong, I don't think they'd do either (post the info on their site and attend last night's (non) news conference) if they weren't assisting.

And there we have it.

right? Same story. Rinse, lather, repeat. I hope I am wrong and this little guy is found alive.

The FBI is involved the Two Rivers police chief mentioned it in last nights presser.

I'm not saying I think Elijah has been missing *more* than 48 hours, but I would love to know when was the last time he was seen by someone other than the mysterious caregiver.
