Send us a textEver wondered what makes wildlife photography truly ethical? Jesse Villemaire takes us deep into the heart of this question, revealing how respecting wildlife comes before capturing the perfect shot. As co-founder of Follow Me North with his wife Susan, Jesse shares captivating stories from Algonquin Park's wilderness and South African safaris while unveiling the philosophy that guides their intimate photography workshops."The wildlife comes first, the photo comes next," Jesse emphasizes, explaining how maintaining proper distance and understanding animal behavior creates not just better photographs, but more meaningful encounters. Through heartfelt examples—including a devastating story about a habituated wolf—he illustrates why "baiting" wildlife causes harm that far outweighs any photographic benefit.Jesse's personal journey from tattoo studio owner in Cambridge to wildlife photographer in Muskoka reveals how nature became his essential reset button. The story of meeting his wife through Instagram's Algonquin Park hashtag (culminating in their wedding on an island in Lake of Two Rivers) demonstrates how shared passion for wilderness can forge life's most meaningful connections. Their volunteer work with Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary further showcases their commitment to conservation beyond the lens.From their viral "Santa in a Red Canoe" series to their humorous "Sorry Algonquin" Instagram project pairing stunning images with one-star park reviews, Jesse's creative approach invites others into nature's beauty with both reverence and playfulness. His South African photo tours—where participants might find themselves surrounded by 21 lions—offer transformative experiences that "change you" on a fundamental level.Ready to experience wildlife photography through a more mindful lens?

Y'all have either read or watched the Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson, right (I highly recommend the books, but I understand if reading 15,000 pages of description isn't your thing.  The show started out ok, and it has grown on me, you should give it another try)?  You know how the Children of the Light, the paramilitary group informally known as the Whitecloaks.  They have an embedded group dedicated to rooting out the darkness.  That group is called the Questioners and they are loosely modeled after the Spanish Inquisition that was created by Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile in the year of our lord (As Tiler would say) 1478.  The Questioners do just that; put people to the question, and through various methods extract a confession out the subject of their ire. Most of the time their confessions are from the innocent who are simply trying to end the torture.  I never understood how can the Whitecloaks even do this when their ranks are filled with Darkfriends. It's a shameful organization considering how easily they were infiltrated, and how quickly their hypocrisy was found out.  Yet they do play an important role in the story, even if the the whole Two Rivers arc was drawn out over three books. The one thing Whitecloaks do is put people to the question. The Phantom Phinders do the same in this episode.   Thank you for attending my TED Talk   ~Mark     Make sure to rate and review us on iTunes and then reach out on Twitter or to our email to get an NPC named in Carrefour!

#thewheeloftime The quintet from the Two Rivers are all facing challenges. Nynaeve faces her trials in The Arches, where she must face the fears of her past, present, and future. Perrin is forced to bow to the rule of the Seanchan, where one of their number takes a particular interest in him. Egwene tests the limits of her abilities when she refuses to accept a major loss. Mat is suspicious when Liandrin makes a generous offer. Rand seeks guidance from a familiar face.

#thewheeloftime Six months after Rand's "death" at the Eye of the World, the group from the Two Rivers is picking up the pieces, and struggling in the process. Nynaeve and Egwene are novices in the White Tower, where Nynaeve's reluctance to channel brings her the wrong kind of attention. Perrin is on the hunt for Padan Fain, while Mat is an unwilling guest of Liandrin. Moraine does her best to shut out Lan after losing her powers, which leaves her vulnerable to danger.Mentioned in this episode: JordanCon, a Science Fiction/Fantasy literature convention founded in honor of Robert Jordan, author of the Wheel of Time, which will take place April 25-27 in Atlanta, GA.

A Time WarpBy FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.What follows is a diversion from the central storyline, but it is crucial to understanding why certain members of the supporting cast are behaving the way they are.808 BCE near Halab in what is today's Northern Syria:For me, Cael Nyilas, it was a return to last night's horrifying scene that engulfed me. The screams of dying horses and moribund men crying the pantheon of life's final regrets. Blood, piss, voided bowels and the stench of comingled sweat and leather filled my nostrils. The true cacophony of battle was all about. The battle shock faded into an innocuous background distraction.In my heart of hearts, I felt at ease, even content. We were cut off and surrounded yet hardly hopeless. Men, my brothers-in-arms and the younger noble sons of Assur and Nineveh combined to put a press of shields, armor and flesh encircling us. Those 'pampered' aristocrats stank with fear and well they should. Death was still possible before their relief arrived.I hurt, Shara (my deity?), I was wounded, but it meant nothing. I laughed; a primitive version of 'atheists and foxholes' passing through my mind. This body had lived through much worse. The closest man, her deceased husband's cousin, and I lifted the shattered wooden chariot off the person our circle was centered on. My arm was extended to her.She was glorious, fierce and half-drunk with battle lust. I could feel her talon-like fingers through the leather and 'parzillu' scales guarding my bicep. She half jumped and was half pulled to her feet. Her kinsman presented her 'misplaced' sword, hilt first. In her eyes, I saw the burning intensity of the Shamash (Sun God, consort of Aya?) at the height of the Burning Season.Her martial mirth exceeded any other noise as it passed her lips."You took your time getting here," Shammuramat taunted me, not a true reproach. "I was so bored, I decide to take a nap in the shade of my conveniently overturned chariot." She defied all fortunes that conspired toward her demise; her own breed of madness."You looked so peaceful in your sleep, I didn't want to wake you," I bantered back. Her 'kinsman' scowled at my familiarity with his monarch. My champions, more like brothers to me than any kin born of my blood, had carved a gory swath to her stranded bodyguard. Mounted on Median steeds, we had pressed back the entourages of two Aramean kings bent on her violent passing.A barricade of overturned, or unattended chariots gave us space to dismount and perform our very visible rescue mission. All the pieces were right where she wanted them; everything unfolding according to her plan. Focus the enemy in the center with her person and the banner of Assur while the rest of her chariots and all of her cavalry swept through an unguarded wadi and fell upon them from behind.Brilliant. Somewhat less brilliant when faced with the desperate energy of our enemies, but her victory was already a certainty. The allied Western Kings were sure my command was attempting to snatch the Queen back to the safety of her infantry. Those hardy, foot-bound souls were still holding their own against the greater mass of the enemy footmen.The children of rebellious nobles bent every bit of their remaining energy, squandered their last reserves to ensure Shammuramat didn't escape. If the positons were reversed, they would have eagerly abandoned their troops and sought safety to the rear. The idea of Shammuramat being overwrought with terror was absurd.Our opponents' bellows for our blood turned into wails of despair. The charging, plumaged steeds of Assyria had appeared behind them. Our enemies had nothing left to slow the new arrivals down, much less stop them. For those who dared defy Shammuramat, Queen of all the Akkadians, the slaughter was just beginning."Come 'Alal' (that was me); I promised 'Atarshumki' I would kick his head over his own city walls before sunset and I always keep my promises," she shoved one of my horse-holders aside and took one of my steeds. 'Alal' was not the name my father gave me. It meant destroyer and it was blasphemy to lay claim to it."Killing kings will cost you extra," was my impious response.Assyrians nobility barely tolerated mercenaries most of the time. My men and I didn't care. I hadn't taken up the killing business to make friends and my troops felt the same way. What mattered to us was that their coin was good and delivered on time. That was a good thing because whores and merchants were loath to advance 'our kind' anything on credit."I'll meet you half way," she grinned manically at me while my fighters and I raced for our mounts. (Saving the junior nobility wasn't what she were paying us for.) "I'll let you take any prince you capture as a hostage." I nodded. My men cheered hungrily, despite the choking dust. As long as I didn't get too greedy, the Kings would pay for their sons. Now we had to capture the bastards."Tūbātu," I reminded them. 'Goodwill'. It was a polite way of saying 'stop your chariot, rest your arms and your mother won't have to come begging for your corpse'. It was best to let opposing nobility keep their dignity in our business. Today's enemy might be tomorrow's paymaster.I blinked and things changed.Planting followed harvest and harvest followed planting. It had long ago become a blur. Shammuramat had grown older. Her first son became king when he was of age. I had long exceeded my welcome and my desire to stay. I was fixed to this small patch of the greater world by a rare emotion, empathy.It had come out of nowhere. We were campaigning against the Scythians raiding over the Zagros Mountains and followed them into Urartu. Night had fallen and I walked the camp as was my habit; being killed a few times in your sleep will make you err on the side of caution. Shammuramat was gazing out over the river Arkas."I though all the scouts have returned," I asked as I stepped to her side. A cool, early autumn breeze blew down the valley, tossing a few loose locks of her greying hair. She always had one patch shorn short which made her left-side braids prone to unwind."They have. We head back for Nineveh with the dawn," she murmured, her mind elsewhere."Do you ever dream of home?" she asked me out of the blue."No. I don't dream anymore. I rarely sleep and if I did, I would hope to dream of something less boring," I snorted in amusement. She had never talked about her home, to anyone as far as I knew."You will be going to Lydia when winter comes," she stated tensely."King Gyges needs someone with experience beating Cimmerians," I answered. The true reason was that I was no longer welcome on the Assyrian payroll because I insisted on recruiting only non-Assyrians into the ranks of my ferociously effective little band of one hundred; never more and rarely less."Shemtsu is a fool," she grumbled."That is unfair," I countered. My willingness to argue with her was one of my charms in her eyes. "He is an excellent Treasurer and he makes sure your vassals pay their tribute on time and in its full amount."The silence was hurtful to me because Shammuramat was never one to obfuscate her thoughts, especially around me. It was one of her charms, to my way of thinking."Salmu Eretu, the northern night sky has no answers for what ails you. Get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to start out cold before it bakes us." I called her 'Black Cloud' in Akkadian.I had first used that name twenty years ago to insult her, highlighting her tempestuous nature. In the Assyrian court, having just received recognition for my quick thinking, Shammuramat had belittled my accomplishment, throwing my body between her, her unborn child (the man who was now not-so-gently ushering me to the border) and a Kassite noble and his retainer bent on killing them both.Had my deed not been witnessed by half a dozen reliable sources, I wouldn't even have received that tawdry token."He sought glory without risk," she spat out her insult in a Hittite tongue alien to this court. Unfortunately for us both, I had worked for a Babylonian family for a few generations and they had been kind enough to turn me from an illiterate commoner to a man of some education.Ironically, they even taught me my native cuneiform long after my birthplace was barely a memory."Well aren't you a black cloud on an otherwise waste of a day," I replied somewhat bitterly. Her eyes widened, then narrowed and then I heard her laugh for the first time."Should I tell them what you said?" she mocked me and my predicament."But of course," I grunted in Akkadian. I'd screwed up. My inner thoughts were 'please not decapitation, please not decapitation' because getting my head on straight after that was a real bitch."You've been nothing but a black cloud bent on turning the choking dust at my feet into a grasping, muddy morass. Why stop now?" I announced loudly. If you are going to die, die well. Having died too many times to count, remembering my last words were all I had left to look forward to.The guards, familiar with the Queen's temper and stunned into inaction by me clearly embracing a long, messy death, stood around uselessly. Had I been allowed a weapon in the royal presence, I might have thought which one to kill first."I gift you, a lowborn man of the South (Sumerian), with honors and you respond by insulting my wife?" King, Shamshi Adad V growled as he rose from his throne."Husband," she stood to join him. I thought it was a pity she rarely smiled. "You asked that I too give a gift to my savior and the savior of our son (all unborn babies were sons back then until roughly half had the audacity to gender switch while exiting the womb). I have chosen." I was expecting my life for the moment and a day's head start to the border."It is your choice to make," the King allowed."From this day, until my passing, this man may always speak his mind in our lands," she demanded. She had a habit of fatally correcting anyone who saw her as less than co-ruler. The hesitation was deafening."As you will," Shamshi Adad V acquiesced to yet another of his wife's odd 'requests'. From that day forth we had been fast friends. She never asked about my immortality, where I was from, or how I ended up with my elite band of professional killers. I returned the favor. It was an unspoken understanding that in a few years, or decades, she would die and I would leave, not necessarily in that order. We had shared more years than I had given to any one person in quite some time."There is nothing left for me but ash," she declared with morbid certainty."Should any of us expect any better?" I did my best to offer words of comfort she would accept."Oh no," her noise was too bitter to be a laugh. "I had my own 'Life beyond Death' and it was stolen from me, along with my birthright.""We are chasing the thieves?" I asked."Yes and no," her face grew grim once more. "These were not the ones I was looking for. They share some bonds with some of the Scythian tribes who live on the far side of the Sea of Death (the Black Sea). These raiders weren't from those tribes.""Why are you turning back?" I questioned. "You know your Assyrians are loyal. They will follow wherever you lead. Your son won't begrudge you these few hundred. I'll come too.""Why?" she turned and looked into my eyes. She still had that blazing fire in her eyes. She was teasing me. If she asked, I too would follow and my men would follow me."The Scythians have been raiding the Lands of the Two Rivers from, well, before I graduated from 'spear for hire' to a 'seeker of a mastery of war'. The rich plunder of their camps will provide plenty of incentive for my men plus we can sell the horses when we come back," I stated."I do not have the years left to spend on such a campaign," she sighed. I had never heard a hint of defeat in her speech before. It was unsettling and rather tragic."I have squandered my years in marriage, being Queen and raising my boys. I tried to make Assyria my new family and I am revealed to be a fool. You had it right. We will always be outlanders. No matter how brave, loyal, just and smart, we would never be allowed in their sanctimonious circle," she said. "You. I should have ridden off with you after my first born was acknowledged (the present King Adad-nirari the 3rd).""We could have gathered up some more fighters, ridden over shattered Phrygia, to the narrows (Bosporus) and into the lands of the Thracians. There is a legend of a great river that pours out from the western shore of the Death Sea. What I seek is up that river.""How many would we face?" I grew equally serious."One," she coughed. "Me." My confusion was obvious. "I am not asking you to fight me, Alal. I want you to come back for me.""I can't. That is not how it works," I stated."How does it work then?" she looked into my eyes. The fire was there, but banked and waning. I didn't say anything. "I have never seen, or heard of you entering a temple.""Your men go. You do not stop them, but you have given up any pretense of worship," she pressed. "Do you not believe that anything exists beyond your senses?""I believe," I sighed. "I believe people are fools for giving offering, pledging their fidelity, pleading for mercy, or extending thanks to any deity. Those Shar-an (gnats) do as they will, unless it is to punish us for treating them like the spoiled children they are."Shammuramat regained her long-stilled laughter."I have always felt a kinship with you through our mutual bitterness.""Bitterness comes with familiarity," I snorted in amusement. Lovers had passion. We shared a simmering anger that came from being irredeemably wronged."I was born Baraqu, the first son of a potter in some city that no longer matters. I was a failure as a potter and an embarrassment to my house and my clan," I began a story I hadn't told another soul in, I couldn't recall. "In those days, the Priest-Kings declared wars and demanded each clan of the city give forth a certain number of males to fight. My family volunteered me and two rowdy cousins.Outside the gates, my clan elder gave each of us a cowhide shield and a spear with a small spindle of copper at the tip so we wouldn't think it was a staff. We marched, I forget which city we were fighting that time. Three days later we found the enemy behind a deep irrigation ditch that had dried out for the season. Our orders were simple, 'There they are. Attack!'My elder was at the back of our mob, making sure none of us ran away. My older cousin made it across the ditch first, but was speared twice; once in the right kidney, I can still remember my first sight of blood, and once, piercing the shield and lodging in his ribcage. My second cousin and I were pushed from behind into the fighting. I stabbed at one shield, doing no harm.Then my surviving cousin's morale broke and he tried to claw his way back into our ranks. He was stabbed in the back, his dying body tangling with mine and bearing us both to the ground. I saw this howling mad face over me. He was a commoner, like me, driven to violence by the terror of battle. His shoddily crafted spear plunged first into my right lung. The second stab found my heart. I died.From there, my spirit fell down toward the wretched dank caverns where all pitiful lowborn dregs are doomed to end up without hope of parole. Instead of endless misery, the Goddess Sarrat Irkalli appeared before me, barring my descent. With icy claws, she trisected my soul. I cannot begin to describe that agony. She snatched up my tattered bits and dragged me back into the world.Sarrat Irkalli is Goddess of the Netherworld, whispered a word that penetrated my brain through the left ear of my cooling corpse. It was an utterance so catastrophic to the fabric of the Veil I dare not repeat it even now.Baraqu? she blew a dark wind upon the first bit of my essence and it flew away.Cael, she whispered to the second portion and off it went in another direction. You are Baraqu no more. The second name was meaningless to me at the time but my name. Do you know that if you have your true name, your spirit can not find its way to your reward, no matter how foul, or pleasing? To the third part of my soul. I name you Alal, he who stands witness to the end of all he desires; their destroyer. Powerful yet powerless.}With that, she left me. My body was stiff from being dead so long. The next few hours were extremely painful. The Sun had set and the Moon was not in evidence. Jackals barked and hyenas laughed as they fought and feasted on the dead. I pushed the body of my cousin off me then crawled down into the ditch to hide. Hardly the reaction of a hero.""Not the actions of the man I know," Shammuramat smirked. "So, your name is Baraqu.""Was and I never much liked the name," I countered. "The priests gave it to me because right before my naming ceremony, a bolt of lightning from a spring storm struck the temple of Shara. So they named me Baraqu, which means 'struck by lightning'.""That sound likes a good name," the Queen Dowager regarded me."That is the noble meaning. The common meaning is less eloquent, it means 'idiot'."Another deep laugh from my treasured compatriot. So few had ever mattered so much to me."Struck by lightning, stricken dumb," she guffawed. "Still not the 'you' I know.""What does the other name mean?""I have no idea. In all my travels I have never found a people familiar with it," I shrugged. She looked out over the low waves lapping against the stony shore."No explanation?" she grudgingly inquired. She had wanted me to continue."No. I have never again come face to face with Sarrat Irkalli, been visited by a messenger, divine, or demonic, received an omen, or any otherworldly presence of any kind," I shrugged. I was long past any resentment. "After the battle I made my way back home, we'd lost, and resumed my life for a few years. My father took the excuse of me 'letting' my kinsmen die to place my younger brother over me.I didn't care. I always hated being a potter, so I ended up being a piddling nuisance all the time and a drunken brawler whenever I had wrangled some beer. I was always the first choice of my clan to send into battle. Despite my lack of training, I began surviving more battles than I died in. At some point, the priests began getting suspicious that I was still hanging around my great-grandnephew's house, so my house Elder suggested I leave the city.I was given a nice copper-headed mace that I had taken in a recent skirmish. Tradition dictated I offer it to the Elder, so he could give it back to me as a sign of my value to the clan. He had taken it for his own. Now he was giving it back out of fear that it held some part of my taint. I had no idea how to live on my own. Two days out, I was robbed and murdered for the first, but not last, time. That inaugural event, I got really angry and hunted those two farmers down.I got my mace back. I also relieved them of an onager, three slaves and a few ingots of silver. I guessed they had been rather successful robbers until they met me."

The mother of Elijah Vue, a 3-year-old boy whose remains were found months after he was reported missing, pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to charges linked to his death in Manitowoc County. Katrina Baur, 31, appeared over Zoom from the Manitowoc County Jail as her attorney entered the plea on her behalf. Baur is charged with two felonies, including chronic neglect of a child resulting in death, along with two misdemeanors. Baur remains in custody on a $400,000 bond. During the hearing, the court allowed her a conditional modification to visit her daughter if approved by Child in Need of Protection and Services (CHIPS). The case traces back to Feb. 20, when Elijah was first reported missing by Baur's boyfriend, 39-year-old Jesse Vang. An extensive search was launched throughout Manitowoc County and beyond. After months of uncertainty, human remains were discovered by a deer hunter on Sept. 7 in a wooded area near a quarry and Camp Manitou, roughly three miles from the family's home in Two Rivers. The Wisconsin Crime Lab confirmed through DNA testing that the remains belonged to Elijah, who had been missing since winter. The sheriff's office later informed his family. The county medical examiner ruled the toddler's death a homicide with fractures found on his face, though the exact cause of death remains unspecified. In addition to Baur's charges, Vang faces multiple charges in connection to the case, including physical abuse of a child, hiding a corpse, and obstructing an officer. He is held on a $500,000 bond and is expected to appear in court next week. According to court documents, surveillance footage from the night before Elijah disappeared shows Vang discarding a suitcase near St. Vincent de Paul in Manitowoc County. DNA analysis later linked the suitcase to Elijah. Investigators also recovered deleted Facebook messages between Baur and Vang from Feb. 20, in which Baur instructed Vang on what to tell authorities. “Say you guys were taking a nap and he left,” Baur messaged Vang, adding, “the way you word things is very important.” The judge set a deadline of Dec. 20 for any potential resolution offer in Baur's case. She is due back in court in February, while Vang's next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 6. The case continues to unfold as authorities work to bring justice for Elijah Vue.

The search for missing 3-year-old Elijah Vue has tragically come to a heartbreaking end. On September 13, Two Rivers Police Chief Benjamin Meinnert confirmed that the skeletal remains discovered on September 7 in a remote wooded area were indeed those of Elijah. This news marks a devastating conclusion to a months-long search that captivated the community of northeast Wisconsin. "It is with a heavy heart that I announce today, those remains were identified as Elijah Vue's," Meinnert said during a press briefing shared on Facebook. The remains were found by a landowner preparing for the hunting season, approximately three miles northwest of where Elijah was last seen. The area, which had been extensively searched before, was described by Meinnert as a "thick wooded area." The tragic discovery came after extensive efforts by volunteers and law enforcement, who had combed through marshy areas, river banks, and even a cemetery in search of the young boy. The amber alert issued for Elijah has now been canceled, and the case has officially become a death investigation. David Berthiaume, a local resident who assisted in the search, expressed his frustration and sorrow. "There won't be closure for me until we know who killed him and put him there," Berthiaume said. "Nothing killed him back there in those woods. He was killed and put there." Elijah was reported missing on February 20. At the time, his mother, Katrina Baur, was in Wisconsin Dells, while her boyfriend, Jesse Vang, was at his residence on Mischot Road in Two Rivers. Vang reported Elijah missing, claiming he had fallen asleep and awoke to find the child gone. Both Vang and Baur have been charged with child neglect, and Vang faces additional felony charges. They have both pleaded not guilty. In April, it was reported that Baur had left Elijah with Vang for extended periods as a form of discipline, a claim outlined in a criminal complaint. This background has further complicated the case, as the circumstances of Elijah's disappearance and death come under greater scrutiny. Two Rivers resident Roy Randall, who lives near where Elijah's remains were found, shared his anguish. "It's just really rough," Randall said. "You don't expect something like this to hit so close to home. It's too close to home." As the community mourns the loss of a young life and grapples with the details of this tragic case, authorities continue to investigate. The focus now shifts to seeking justice for Elijah Vue and uncovering the full truth behind his untimely death. Authorities are asking community members to avoid the area where the remains were discovered while the investigation continues. Anyone with information related to the case is encouraged to contact the Two Rivers Police Department. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The search for missing 3-year-old Elijah Vue has tragically come to a heartbreaking end. On September 13, Two Rivers Police Chief Benjamin Meinnert confirmed that the skeletal remains discovered on September 7 in a remote wooded area were indeed those of Elijah. This news marks a devastating conclusion to a months-long search that captivated the community of northeast Wisconsin. "It is with a heavy heart that I announce today, those remains were identified as Elijah Vue's," Meinnert said during a press briefing shared on Facebook. The remains were found by a landowner preparing for the hunting season, approximately three miles northwest of where Elijah was last seen. The area, which had been extensively searched before, was described by Meinnert as a "thick wooded area." The tragic discovery came after extensive efforts by volunteers and law enforcement, who had combed through marshy areas, river banks, and even a cemetery in search of the young boy. The amber alert issued for Elijah has now been canceled, and the case has officially become a death investigation. David Berthiaume, a local resident who assisted in the search, expressed his frustration and sorrow. "There won't be closure for me until we know who killed him and put him there," Berthiaume said.

The Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office is investigating the discovery of human skeletal remains found on private property in the town of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, on Saturday. The remains were located by a local deer hunter, who immediately notified law enforcement. As of now, authorities have not confirmed whether the remains are related to the case of 4-year-old Elijah Vue, who has been missing since February 2024. The sheriff's office, in a statement posted to Facebook on Sunday, said, "Identifying the remains will be a lengthy process," emphasizing that the investigation is still ongoing. No details regarding the race, sex, or age of the remains have been released at this time. The department added that it is working closely with multiple agencies, including the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation, the Wisconsin State Crime Lab, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Anthropology Department, the Two Rivers Police Department, and the Manitowoc County Coroner's Office. This discovery comes as the community remains on high alert following the disappearance of Elijah Vue, who was reported missing on February 20, 2024. Elijah's fourth birthday was marked by a community event on August 25, 2024, at Kiwanis Park in Appleton, but his whereabouts remain unknown. Vue was reported missing by Jesse Vang, the boyfriend of Elijah's mother, Katrina Baur. Vang told police that he last saw Elijah at around 8 a.m. on the day of his disappearance after he punished the child by making him stand and pray. Vang claims that he fell asleep and when he awoke nearly three hours later, Elijah was gone. Vang reported the boy missing at 10:59 a.m. from their apartment on Mishicot Road in Two Rivers. Both Vang and Baur were arrested shortly after Elijah's disappearance and charged with child neglect. Vang is being held on a $20,000 cash bond, while Baur remains in custody on a $15,000 cash bond. Baur faces felony child neglect charges as well as two misdemeanors for neglect involving another child and resisting or obstructing an officer. Both are awaiting court appearances, with Vang scheduled for a status conference on September 27 and Baur on October 22. The search for Elijah has been extensive, involving canvassing urban and rural neighborhoods, river searches, drone surveillance, and K9 teams. Investigators also searched a landfill in Calumet County and a farm waste container in Manitowoc County. In addition, video footage has been thoroughly analyzed, and horseback searches of rural farmland have been conducted. The investigation has even extended to Baur's hometown of Wisconsin Dells. Authorities continue to offer a reward for information leading to Elijah's discovery or the arrest of those responsible for his disappearance. The FBI is offering $15,000, Manitowoc County Crime Stoppers an additional $10,000, and the city of Two Rivers is providing another $15,000, making the total reward $40,000. The sheriff's office has promised further updates as the investigation continues. Meanwhile, the community holds its breath, hoping for answers in the disappearance of Elijah Vue. #ElijahVue #TwoRivers #ManitowocCounty #HumanRemains #ChildNeglect #MissingChildren #OngoingInvestigation Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
