Heart-wrenching news as police confirmed that the skeletal remains found in Wisconsin belonged to Elijah Vue, a 3-year-old boy who went missing in February. The community, devastated by the news, rallied together in support of Elijah during his disappearance.
The alert for Elijah was canceled after the discovery of his remains, shifting the search from a missing person case to a death investigation. The bones were found by a deer hunter in a wooded area on private land in Two Rivers, after multiple searches had been conducted in the area.
Wisconsin Crime Lab’s DNA testing confirmed Elijah’s identity, bringing closure to his family. His mother and her boyfriend were charged with child neglect, although they were not directly linked to his disappearance.
Amid the tragedy, Chief Benjamin Meinnert of the Two Rivers Police Department emphasized the importance of community support during difficult times.
