Couple back in court in death of Elijah Vue

Elijah Vue’s mother Katrina Baur and her boyfriend Jesse Vang appeared in court Monday, October 21, 2024, on their new charges in the death of vue.

Both have been in custody on child neglect charges since February when Vue was reported missing, but those charges have since been dismissed and then refiled with the additional charges now that Vue was found deceased by a hunter earlier this month, only a couple miles from where the three year old was reported missing from.

Baur waived her preliminary hearing yesterday, and a judge found probable cause she committed a felony, so she was bound over for trial. Her next court appearance will be an arraignment set for October 30.

Vang has yet to get a public defender so his preliminary hearing was pushed back to this Thursday the 24th.

Baur faces 60 years in prison while Vang faces a life sentence.
