ICARO Media Group
In an ongoing development in the Elijah Vue case, prosecutors have filed an amended criminal complaint against Jesse Vang, the boyfriend of Katrina Baur, the mother of the missing 3-year-old. The amended complaint, filed on Tuesday, brings changes to the charges against Vang and provides more specific details regarding the alleged incidents involving the child.
Vang's attorneys had previously submitted a motion to the judge, seeking dismissal of the case or a request for a more specific criminal complaint. As a result, the prosecution filed the amended complaint in response.
The amended complaint now accuses Jesse Vang of chronic neglect of a child, as a party to a crime, where specified harm did not occur. This change in the charges reflects the prosecution's attempt to provide a more accurate description of Vang's alleged involvement in the case.
While the new complaint includes the same details as the previous version, it contains additional extensive information about a meeting between Vang and Baur on February 13 and 14. During this visit, Baur left her other child alone in a car in cold temperatures. The amended complaint also references a disturbing photo of Elijah with a blindfold over his eyes and bruising on his body, reportedly taken during the mentioned time period.
Furthermore, the complaint highlights a Facebook message exchange between Vang and Baur on February 15. The exchange features a picture of Elijah standing in the corner, dressed only in a diaper, with his hands seemingly in a prayer position. The photo, believed to have been taken at Vang's apartment, also shows a visibly soiled diaper.
It is important to note that the amended complaint points out that Vang has a prior conviction for child abuse, further raising concerns about his alleged involvement in Elijah Vue's disappearance.
Jesse Vang is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday to respond to the charges outlined in the amended complaint. As the investigation into the disappearance of Elija Vue continues, this latest development in the case underscores the seriousness with which the authorities are treating the matter.
Anyone with information related to the case is urged to come forward and assist law enforcement in their efforts to uncover the truth about what happened to Elijah Vue.
