2:28 PM EDT, March 19, 2024
The toddler has one missing three weeks ago and little progress has been made since. The authorities hope the discovery of the blanket could help in finding the boy.
The child's mother has been charged with negligence considering the care of the boy. Hundreds of volunteers gathered and did not cease to try to find the boy, and they called for further help: "If you cannot help us on-site, you can help online. We need everybody ready to help with the search for Elijah."
The boy went missing about a month ago, on the 20th of February exactly. The case is extremely serious and has been a great point of consideration in the local community and all over America.
CBS News reports a detailed account of recent findings:
The Two Rivers Police Department said that a red and white plaid blanket found earlier in this investigation was confirmed to belong to Elijah Vue, a Wisconsin 3-year-old who went missing on February 20. The blanket was found about 3.7 miles from where Elijah was last seen, the department said in a news release.
An initial description of Elijah said he was last seen wearing gray pants, a long-sleeved dark shirt, and red and green dinosaur shoes, according to CBS affiliate WDJT. He might have been carrying the blanket, WDJT reported.
Vue's mother Katrina Baur and another man, Jesse Vang, were arrested and charged with child neglect on Feb. 21. WDJT reported that local authorities said that Baur handed Elijah over to Vang for "discipline." The Vue family told the station that they don't know how Baur knew Vang, who served six years in prison for the distribution of methamphetamine. WDJT later described Vang as Baur's boyfriend.
It was Vang's apartment that Elijah disappeared from, police said, and Vang who reported him missing.
If you have any information that could help in the case, contact the suitable authorities immediately.
