TOWN OF MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A blanket belonging to missing 3-year-old boy Elijah Vue has been found in Manitowoc County.
Two Rivers police said Monday afternoon a red and white plaid blanket was confirmed to belong to the boy. It was found on Goodwin Road, east of Highway B. The blanket was found 3.7 miles from where the boy was last seen, at an apartment in the 3900 block of Mishicot Road in Two Rivers.
