Elijah Vue Case: Do You Recognize This Vehicle?

TWO RIVERS, WI — Investigators in the case of 3-year-old Elijah Vue — who hasn't been seen since Feb. 20 — have taken possession of a "vehicle of interest."

Police asked homeowners and businesses to review surveillance camera footage captured Feb. 19, between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m., and see if the vehicle was recorded.

The vehicle is a beige 1997 four-door Nissan Altima. Relevant footage can be sent to investigators at this link.

"Due to the duration of the hours requested to be reviewed, we are asking the public beyond the greater Two Rivers area and adjacent counties to review their videos as well," wrote Two Rivers Police Chief Ben Meinnert.

"On behalf of the Law Enforcement community, thank you to the public and businesses for your continued support and assistance throughout this investigation."

The FBI has offered a reward of up to $15,000 for information in the case, which is on top of the Manitowoc County Crime Stoppers reward of $1,000.

Since Elijah’s disappearance, the boy's mother — and the man she allegedly abandoned him to — were formally charged in Manitowoc County with child neglect.

Katrina Baur, 31, of Wisconsin Dells faces a felony count of party-to-a-crime child neglect and two misdemeanor counts of resisting or obstructing an officer. Jesse Vang, 39, of Two Rivers, faces one felony count of party-to-a-crime child neglect, the Associated Press reported.

In February, Elijah's mother left him to stay with Vang for disciplinary purposes, according to Manitowoc County District Attorney Jacalyn LaBre.

She left Elijah with Vang on Feb. 12 because she wanted him to teach her son “to be a man,” and planned to pick him up on Feb. 23, according to authorities.

Vang told police that on Feb. 19, he took a three-hour nap and when he awoke, Elijah had vanished. Vang was in a relationship with Bauer, he told authorities.
