Jesse Vang, 39, is set to stand trial for charges connected to the death of 3-year-old Elijah Vue. The Manitowoc County Court presided over by Judge Anthony Lambrecht decided there was sufficient evidence to bind Vang over for trial, as reported by
Seehafer News
. During the court proceedings, details emerged about the text message exchange between Vang and the toddler’s mother, Katrina Baur, discussing the transfer of Elijah to Vang’s care for “disciplinary purposes.”
Evidence presented by Special Agents from the Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigations helped to grimly piece together the events leading up to Elijah’s demise. Agent Eric Voland cited text messages which, as
FOX6
noted, contained graphic details of Vang’s intent to forcefully correct Elijah’s behavior, seemingly encouraged by Baur.
To further lay bare the harrowing situation, Agent Justen Ragen brought to light a disturbing image of the child wearing a black blindfold. According to
WHBY
, video surveillance also captured Vang depositing a black suitcase at St. Vincent de Paul’s – a suitcase that was later found to contain traces of Elijah’s DNA. Elijah was reported missing on February 20, with his skeletal remains only discovered months later on private property a few miles from Vang’s apartment. Vang faces severe charges, including physical assault of a child, causing death, hiding a corpse, and obstruction. His arraignment is scheduled for November 18.
Meanwhile, Katrina Baur is confronting her legal battles. Charged with chronic child neglect resulting in death, child neglect, and two counts of obstruction, Baur pleaded not guilty in October to the felonies and misdemeanors brought against her, as reported by
FOX6
. Her bond has been set at $400,000, and court records cited by
Seehafer News
confirm that she remains in jail. Baur’s next appearance in court is expected to be in December.
