Two Rivers Police mark 6-month anniversary of Elijah Vue disappearance

TWO RIVERS, WI – (WGBW & WISS) – Two Rivers Police mark the 6-month anniversary of the disappearance of 3-year-old Elijah Vue today.

In a social media post, Captain Andrew Raatz of the Two Rivers Police said they are “hopeful” that they will locate him and are confident that the investigation will reveal the truth of the toddler’s disappearance.

Police used the same post to squash rumors that he had been found.

“Recently rumors surfaced online and on social media platforms stating Elijah has been found. This is not true,” said Raatz in a Facebook Post. “The spreading of false and misleading information is disrespectful to the family of Elijah and detracts from our efforts in locating him…We would like to remind everyone that we remain the sole source of factual information in this investigation and will release more information and updates when they are available to share.”

On February 20, 2024, Jesse Vang, the boyfriend of Elijah’s mother, reported him missing from his apartment in Two Rivers. Elijah was staying with Vang for “disciplinary reasons.” Vang and Elijah’s mother, Katrina Baur face child neglect charges related to their treatment of the child and other factors. No one has been charged in connection with the child’s disappearance.
