Police Chief Ben Meinnert says that recent rumors have surfaced on social media claiming that Vue has been found, but this is not true.
“The spreading of false and misleading information is disrespectful to the family of Elijah and detracts from our efforts in locating him,” added Chief Meinnert. “We remain the sole source of factual information in this investigation and will release more information and updates when they are available to share.”
As the search for Vue approaches four months, the Two Rivers Police Department would like to reiterate that the search efforts will continue.
Since its last update, the department has conducted additional drone searches coordinated by the Wisconsin Drone Network with assistance from the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office Drone Team.
In the coming weeks, they plan to continue their search efforts on the water, with additional sonar searching and assistance from Bruce’s Legacy.
The FBI continues to follow up on national tips and leads while state, county, and local agencies continue to follow up on recent leads within Wisconsin, most specifically in northeast Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Dells and Portage areas.
Investigators continue to analyze an extremely large amount of video and other data, including extensive and ongoing drone search footage, with assistance from federal and state agencies.
The Two Rivers Police Department continues to encourage participation in coordinated and legally permissible search efforts for Elijah. They have also remained in contact with Elijah’s family with assistance from the Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) regarding the efforts of our searches.
DCI continues to remain the lead agency coordinating the efforts of the ongoing criminal investigation and all related interviews in this case, with help from investigators from the Two Rivers Police Department, Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office, and the FBI.

“We will continue a variety of search efforts in our attempts to locate Elijah,” said Chief Meinnert. “We, like many of you, want to find answers and are working hard to do so. We believe in transparency and keeping everyone up to date with facts. We will share facts as much as we are able and as timely as we can when new information is present, but please understand that we cannot jeopardize any portion of the ongoing investigation. We remain committed to investigating the circumstances regarding the disappearance of Elijah.”
