Human remains found on private property are those of 3-year-old boy who went missing in February, authorities in Wisconsin announced Friday. Two Rivers Police Chief Benjamin Meinnert said the remains, which were tested forensically and determined to be those of Elijah Vue, were found only three miles northwest from where the child had been reported missing. “This is not the outcome that we hoped for. The family’s devastated. We’re devastated. Our community is devastated,” he said.
After Meinnert’s brief statement at a news conference Friday, the department declined to answer questions but said it would provide timely updates as the investigation continues. Elijah disappeared from an apartment in Two Rivers, about 90 miles north of Milwaukee. Manitowoc County District Attorney Jacalyn LaBre said earlier this year that the child disappeared after he was sent to stay with a man because of 'disciplinary reasons.
