His father was in prison. His mother sent him to live with a convicted felon who was still on federal supervised release — a man she had once told police had trafficked her. The criminal complaint describes what happened inside that Two Rivers apartment as a coordinated campaign: standing punishments, cold water, text messages between Baur and Vang about making a toddler afraid. A deleted photograph of the boy blindfolded and bruised. And when Elijah was reported missing, a cover story coached within sixty seconds of the 911 call. The investigation recovered almost everything they allegedly tried to erase. Surveillance footage dismantled Vang’s alibi. A suitcase at a thrift store tested positive for the child’s DNA. Deleted messages were pulled from both phones. Seven months of community searching ended when a hunter found Elijah’s remains three miles from the apartment. Forensic findings: healed fractures, prolonged harm, homicide. Now both face trials in Manitowoc County. Vang faces life. Baur faces sixty years. A judge denied every motion to move the case. A forensic evidence fight is still pending. And the question that no trial can fully answer: who failed this child? A federal system that didn’t flag a toddler in a felon’s home? A mother who knew Vang’s history? A community that didn’t see what was happening? Both have pleaded not guilty. Tony Brueski and a reporter covering this case from the beginning walk through every piece of it — the people, the evidence, the legal fight, and the system that broke.
