Baur, 31, remains in custody at the Manitowoc County Jail for one count of being a party to child neglect and two misdemeanor counts of resisting or obstructing an officer. She is expected back in court in roughly a month on October 22nd, 2024.
To this point, Baur has not been charged in the disappearance of her son.
Elijah Vue went missing in February 2024, drawing a widescale search effort across Manitowoc County for several months before his remains were found in early to mid-September. DNA testing confirmed the remains were Vue’s, effectively ending the search and transitioning the effort into a death investigation.
