The search continues for 3-year-old Elijah Vue, who was reported missing from a Wisconsin home in Two Rivers last week. Authorities issued an AMBER Alert for Elijah, who has sandy-colored hair, brown eyes, stands 3 feet tall, and weighs 50 pounds. He was last seen wearing gray sweatpants, a long-sleeve dark-colored shirt, red and green dinosaur shoes, and has a birthmark on his left knee.

The boy's mother, Katrina Baur, allegedly left him at the home of Jesse Vang for disciplinary reasons, according to prosecutors in Manitowoc County. Police continue to search rivers and waterways in the area, as well as local landfills and properties in the ongoing effort to locate Elijah.

Charging documents in the case remain sealed, but prosecutors revealed in court that Baur intentionally sent the child to Vang's residence for over a week for disciplinary purposes and was aware of the tactics used and lack of care provided. Allegations also state that Baur misled authorities about her whereabouts since Elijah went missing.

Both Baur and Vang have been charged with child neglect, with the potential for more charges to be added. Police caution the public about a "fake video" circulating, depicting the recovery of a minor unrelated to Elijah, to prevent falling victim to financial scams related to the case.

Anyone with information on Elijah's whereabouts is urged to contact Two Rivers police at 844-267-6648 or call 911.
