Katina Baur, the mother of missing three-year-old Elijah Vue, has been denied a reduction in her bond by a judge as she awaits trial for child neglect charges.
Judge Robert Dewane denied Baur’s motion to reduce or amend her $15,000 cash bond to a signature bond.A signature bond allows someone to be released with a paying bond by meeting certain guidelines and promising to report back in court.
According to ABC News, Dewane ruled to deny bail because ““This would be an entirely different situation if the child in question were here. He’s not. And I don’t know what that means in terms of the context this and taking a long view of the case here. But it’s a significant factor. I mean, she’s charged with party to the crime of neglect of the child, and the child is missing,”
Baur is scheduled to return to court on May 28 for a status conference. Her boyfriend, Jesse Vang is also charged with felony chronic child neglect. Vang’s status conference is set for July 28.
Elijah Vue has been missing since February 20 from the Two Rivers area.
