Overview

• Seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro was reported missing on Aug. 14 from a Big 5 parking lot after his mother reported being assaulted while changing his diaper.
• The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department says investigators cannot rule out foul play and confronted the mother over inconsistencies before she ended the interview.
• Deputies served search warrants at the family’s Cabazon home, deployed K-9 teams and helicopters, and recovered surveillance video from areas of interest for review, but the child has not been found.
• With no suspect or vehicle description, authorities said the case did not meet criteria for an AMBER Alert and have not named any suspects.
• Officials confirm a 2-year-old from the household was taken into protective custody; court records show father Jake Haro’s 2023 felony child-cruelty conviction; a child-advocacy group also withdrew its search team and $5,000 reward citing concerns.
