Elijah Vue: Timeline of disappearance and search for missing Wisconsin three-year-old

A small Wisconsin town is continuing to search for a missing three-year-old boy, who hasn’t been seen in over a week.

Elijah Vue vanished from his mother’s boyfriend’s home in Two Rivers on Tuesday 20 February.

He had been sent 150 miles away from home for “disciplinary reasons”, with details now showing that the little boy was subjected to lengthy time-outs and threats of cold showers if he misbehaved.

Both Elijah’s mother Katrina Baur, 31, and her boyfriend Jesse Vang, 39, have been charged with child neglect.

As of Wednesday 28 February, the search is still underway for the little boy and the FBI has offered a $15,000 reward for information.
