Parents of Missing Baby Emmanuel Haro Arrested on Murder Charges

Authorities in California have taken a dramatic turn in the investigation of missing infant Emmanuel Haro, arresting his parents, Jake (32) and Rebecca Haro (41), on suspicion of murder—just over a week after the couple reported their son missing.

Original Kidnapping Claim

On August 14, Rebecca claimed she was assaulted while changing Emmanuel’s diaper in a Big 5 Sporting Goods store parking lot in Yucaipa. She alleged that an unknown man knocked her unconscious and abducted the baby.

Inconsistencies Raise Doubt

Investigators found inconsistencies in Rebecca’s statement. Following these concerns, both parents eventually stopped cooperating with law enforcement.

Search Efforts Intensify

Law enforcement executed search warrants at the Haros’ home in Cabazon, deploying SWAT and forensic teams, reviewing surveillance footage, and seizing evidence—including the father’s vehicle. The search for Emmanuel continues, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Disturbing Past Revealed

Records show that Jake Haro has a prior conviction for child cruelty from 2018, involving his 10-week-old daughter.

Ongoing Investigation

Despite the parents’ arrests, Emmanuel has not been located, and the investigation is still ongoing.
