What Does Every Piece of Evidence Say About What Happened to Three-Year-Old Elijah Vue?
The evidence in the Elijah Vue case tells one story. The two people charged in his death allegedly tried to tell another. Three-year-old Elijah was reported missing from a Two Rivers, Wisconsin apartment in February 2024. His mother’s boyfriend Jesse Vang said the boy wandered off during a nap. His mother Katrina Baur, 150 miles away, sent Vang a message within sixty seconds telling him what to say. She deleted it. The investigation that followed recovered almost everything they allegedly tried to erase.
This interview follows the evidence from beginning to end. The relationship between Baur and Vang — a trafficking allegation, a federal drug conviction, a power dynamic Baur described as a “structure” with Elijah’s incarcerated father at the top. The week inside the apartment — text messages, deleted photographs, a coordinated system of punishment inflicted on a three-year-old who was still in diapers. The cover-up — a staged Netflix alibi, a suitcase with the child’s DNA dropped at a donation center, and coaching messages sent within a minute of the 911 call.
The seven-month search — FBI, state investigators, hundreds of community volunteers. The discovery — skeletal remains found by a hunter three miles from the apartment. Healed fractures on the skull and face. Homicide by unspecified means. And the legal fight ahead: Vang faces life. Baur faces sixty years. A judge denied every motion to move the case. Both have pleaded not guilty. Tony Brueski walks through every piece with a reporter who has been on this story from the start.
