MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The mother of missing 3-year-old Elijah Vue is considering taking a plea deal in her child neglect case, her attorney said Monday.

A judge set Katrina Baur’s plea hearing for July 18. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled for a later date.

Baur, 31, is charged with child neglect and resisting or obstructing a police officer.

Prosecutors say she left her son with her boyfriend, Jesse Vang, at her Two Rivers apartment for “disciplinary reasons.”

Vang reported Elijah Vue missing on Feb. 20. The boy has not been seen since.

Vang, 39, is also charged with child neglect. He appeared in court last week, where defense attorneys said they were still waiting for evidence to be presented.

Also last week, Two Rivers police said they were confident the boy would eventually be found.

Neither Baur nor Vang have been charged in connection with the 3-year-old’s disappearance.
