Elijah was reported missing from his Two Rivers home on February 20th.

On Sept. 13, investigators said his remains were found just over 3 miles from where he was last seen.

“This is not the result we were hoping for. The family is devastated. We are devastated. The community is devastated,” Two Rivers Police Chief Ben Meinnert said at the time.

According to court records, Baur and Vang had previously been charged with child neglect, but not in connection with Elijah's death.
