TWO RIVERS, WI (WSAU) – The FBI has offered a reward of up to $15,000 in the case of missing Wisconsin 3-year-old Elijah Vue.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Two Rivers Police Chief Ben Meinnert announced that the FBI had offered the reward for information that would lead to the boy’s whereabouts and eventual return, or the arrest and conviction of those guilty of his disappearance.
According to Meinnert, there is also a $1,000 Manitowoc County Crime Stoppers prize in addition to the FBI reward.
Vue was last seen Feb. 20 at a residence in Two Rivers, where prosecutors said his mother had sent him to stay with a man now charged with child neglect. Searches by police and residents have so far not located Elijah.
His mother, 31-year-old Wisconsin Dells resident Katrina Baur, was charged in Manitowoc County on two misdemeanor counts of resisting or obstructing an officer and one felony count of party to a crime involving child neglect. Her bond for $15,000 in cash was being held.
Jesse Vang, 39, of Two Rivers, the guy Elijah had been living with, was legally charged with one count of party-to-a-crime child maltreatment. His bond for $20,000 in cash was being held.
