Overview

  • Seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro remains missing a week after his mother reported an abduction in a Yucaipa shopping-center parking lot.
  • San Bernardino County investigators collected the father’s vehicle for evidence processing, and the father has retained an attorney as detectives reiterate they welcome parental cooperation.
  • Deputies say the mother stopped her interview after they raised inconsistencies in her account; investigators have served multiple search warrants, seized devices and reviewed surveillance while using K9 teams.
  • Authorities followed up on reported sightings in the Bakersfield area but have not found the child, and ground searches will occur only when new, specific leads emerge; a nearby house fire was deemed unrelated.
  • Riverside County child protective services removed a 2-year-old from the family home, and records show the father has prior convictions including felony child endangerment.
