October 17, 2024

Charges are officially filed in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin in relation to the disappearance and death of 3-year-old Elijah Vue who was reported missing over eight months ago after Elijah’s mother, Katrina Baur, left him with her boyfriend, Jesse Vang, who allegedly inflicted abusive conditioning tactics on the child.

Katrina Baur and Jesse Vang have a history together that started years prior to them considering each other boyfriend and girlfriend. Baur previously accused Vang of attempted to traffic her, the allegation was later dropped by Baur.

Elijah Vue was located in the woods deceased after many months of family, police, and the local community conducting ground, water, and aerial searches without the cooperation of Katrina Baur or Jesse Vang who are in jail awaiting trial after initially being charged with child neglect and child abuse.

The new charges are a result of Elijah’s remains being located in the woods, a development that provided more information to police about what happened to Elijah. Jesse Vang now faces charges for physical abuse of a child, hiding a corpse and obstructing an officer. Katrina Baur is facing charges for neglect of a child resulting in death, child neglect and obstructing an officer.

A bail hearing will take place on Friday, October 18, 2024.
