The parents of seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro, who was reported kidnapped in Yucaipa, have been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Jake and Rebecca Haro were taken into custody on Friday at their home in Cabazon in Riverside County. The baby has been missing since August 14, when Rebecca Haro claimed she was attacked and knocked unconscious in a parking lot near a Big 5 store in Yucaipa. Upon regaining consciousness, she reported her son was gone.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the arrests following an apparent operation at the family’s home in Cabazon.
In a post on X, The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said:
“This morning, detectives from the Sheriff’s Homicide Detail and Specialized Enforcement Division arrested Jake and Rebecca Haro at their residence in Cabazon for PC 187 – Murder. Investigators will continue their search for seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro.”
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department has stated that inconsistencies in Rebecca Haro’s initial statements have raised suspicions. She reportedly stopped cooperating with investigators after being confronted with these inconsistencies.
Jake Haro, who has a prior conviction for child cruelty, is currently on probation for a separate incident. His attorney, Vincent Hughes, insists that the couple is cooperating with law enforcement and has provided their electronic devices for investigation. One of the father’s vehicles was seized a few days ago.
The family has received death threats, and the community remains divided on the parents’ involvement. A reported sighting of Emmanuel in Bakersfield is being investigated, but no substantial leads have emerged. The Sheriff’s Department continues to search for Emmanuel and urges anyone with information to contact their Specialized Investigations Division at 909-890-4904.
