Authorities still looking for missing 3-year-old Elijah Vue

In an update late Tuesday, the Two Rivers Police Department announced local, state, and federal agencies are still searching for a missing 3-year-old boy, Elijah Vue. The department stated in a Facebook post,

The update was provided after several social media users began circulating false reports purporting the toddler's demise. A social media discussion group, ‘Find Elijah Vue Discussion,’ dedicated to finding the missing toddler, slammed people for disseminating misinformation online.

“Please STOP with the rumours that sweet Elijah was found dead. He is still missing according to the latest update. Stop believing everything you see people post. If it hasn’t come from the proper sources, it’s just a rumor. And these are horrible rumors to spread.”

In the discussion group, the toddler’s uncle, Orson Vue, negated the rumors online suggesting his nephew was found dead. The family also expressed gratitude for the community’s response and the overwhelming support they received following the incident.

“My family and I would like to extend a very heartfelt and genuine thank you to all of you for your concerns and help in trying to find our baby nephew Elijah. We were blown away at how the whole Two Rivers community came together to help find our baby! We have not heard anything from authorities about a body being found yet."
