Elijah Vue’s mother and her boyfriend are now being charged with his death.
Prosecutors in Manitowoc County yesterday upgraded the charges against both Katrina Bauer and Jesse Vang. Vang is charged with physical abuse of a child, repeated acts causing death, concealing a corpse, and obstructing an officer. While Bauer is charged with chronic neglect of a child resulting in death, child neglect, and obstructing an officer.
Elijah Vue was three-years-old when he went missing in February. He was considered missing until hunters found his remains on some land near Two Rivers last month. Both Vang and Bauer are due in court later today to answer the new charges.
