TWO RIVERS, Wis. – Last seen near 3900 Mischicot Road in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, three-year-old Elijah Vue has been missing since February 20, 2024. Elijah was wearing gray sweatpants, a long sleeve dark colored shirt, and red and green dinosaur slippers. He is described as a white male, 3 feet tall, and 45-50 pounds. He has sandy colored hair and brown eyes. Anyone who has information should contact the Two Rivers Police Department at 844-267-6648.

According to the latest press release from Chief of Police Ben Meinert of Two Rivers Police Department, Elijah has not been located and the Amber Alert is still active. Officers are working around the clock to follow up on any tips and leads that are coming in. Local police are working with both state and federal agencies and are “exploring all possibilities to locate Elijah”.

Officers began their search as soon as the 911 call came in. They also contacted other agencies including the Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigations, FBI, A Child Is Missing, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to assist in the investigation and search. The search is large scale and includes combing through neighborhoods, parks, woods, rivers, and landfills.

Police ask that the community remains vigilant and proactive and avoids spreading rumors. Some suggest activities the public can do to assist includes checking anywhere a small child could hide climb, or fall. Check your own property for any items that don’t belong to you which could include anything from Elijah, including the red, white, and black plaid blanket or the dinosaur printed slippers who was last seen with. Check your surveillance system from February 12 – 20, looking for anything matching Elijah’s description in your footage. Searching public lands for the same items is also helpful to law enforcement.

If your searches turn up anything, you are asked to not touch anything and contact the tip line at 844-267-6648 or the Two Rivers Dispatch at 920-687-7200, immediately.

Katrina Bauer and Jesse Vang, arrested for child neglect.

At this time, law enforcement has not released a lot of details related to the case. It is known that Katrina Baur, mother of Elijah, and Jesse Vang have been arrested on allegations of child neglect. They were scheduled for a bail hearing this afternoon but the court appearance was cancelled.

Family of Elijah have expressed worry. They have also spoken of being thankful for the public’s support in the search for him. Linda Vue, aunt of Elijah, posted publicly on Facebook words of gratitude. “My family and I have been very devastated and worried since Tuesday, 2/20/24 when we heard the news about Elijah missing.” She goes on to say, “My family and I are very grateful for the amount of love and support from the amazing and wonderful volunteers and locals of Two Rivers along with the outstanding Two Rivers Police and the fire search and rescues teams that work effortlessly to help find our baby boy.”

As the search continues, please remember to stay active and alert. Look to the police to give reliable updates on the case. And, if you know anything, contact the State Tip Line at 844-267-6648 or the Two Rivers Dispatch at 920-687-7200. You always have the option to remain anonymous.

Kaylene Oehling

PITTSBURGH – In the early morning hours of January 10, 2020, Tiffany Young received a text from her daughter, Kaylene Oehling, letting her know that she would be home in the morning to babysit her younger siblings. Kaylene would not show up to babysit that morning. The text would turn out to be the last time Tiffany would hear from her daughter.

On January 9, 2020, 20-year-old Kaylene Oehling went to a friend’s house in Millvale, Pa. At 1 a.m. she was picked up by her ex-boyfriend, Michael Manno. A half hour later, at 1:36 a.m., her mother receives the text letting her mother know that she would be home in the morning to babysit. At this time, both Kaylene’s and Manno’s phones ping in Lower Etna next to the Allegheny River.

The next ping shows Kaylene’s location on the 62^nd Street Bridge in the town of Sharpsburg at 3:40 a.m. It is unknown what happened in the 2 hours between the text to her mother and this time. Call logs show that Manno made a phone call to a friend, Amir, at 3:50 a.m. There is no further information on Kaylene’s movements.

At approximately 3 p.m., Kaylene’s mother calls Manno looking for her daughter. Manno tells her that Kaylene does not want to talk to her, and refuses to put her daughter on the phone. Two days later, January 12, 2020, a missing persons report is filed with the Etna Police department.

Etna Police Department waits to file Kaylene as a missing person. The report is not filed with the national database until 5 p.m. on March 13, 2020. The case is transferred to Allegheny County Police Department at approximately 11 a.m. on June 15, 2020.

Michael Manno is the last known person to see Kaylene. He becomes the main suspect. On September 26, 2020, a protest for answers in the case is held in Penn Hills, Pa. Manno whispers to a protestor, “She is swimming with the fishes.”

On April 29, 2021 Manno is arrested by Allegheny County Police Department. He is charged with 1 count of distributing sexual material to a minor, 1 count of unlawful contact with a minor, 1 count of criminal use of communication facility, and 1 count of corruption of minors. This after an incident on February 22, 2021 where Manno sent nude photos of Kaylene to her younger sister, 17 at the time, over Facebook Messenger.

Manno reaches a plea deal with prosecutors, and receives a sentence of 6 – 12 months incarceration and 1 year probation. He was released from jail in March 2022.

Human remains are found by hunters near the 1200 block of Washington Boulevard in Pittsburgh on March 19, 2023, and authorities alerted. The Oehling Family is called about the findings. It is confirmed to be Kaylene by the medical examiner through the use of dental records.

As of the date of this article, nobody has been arrested in the Kaylene Oehling case. Acccording to authorities, the investigation is ongoing.
