Overview

  • Seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro was reported missing on Aug. 14 after his mother said she was assaulted while changing him outside a Big 5 Sporting Goods in Yucaipa.
  • The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department says Rebecca Haro’s statements contained inconsistencies and that she ended the interview when confronted, and investigators cannot rule out foul play.
  • Deputies executed search warrants at the family’s Cabazon home, used K-9 teams and helicopters, and recovered surveillance from areas of interest for review.
  • Riverside County social services removed a 2-year-old from the residence as part of the ongoing investigation, according to authorities.
  • With no suspect or vehicle details, no AMBER Alert was issued, and the Uvalde Foundation for Kids withdrew a $5,000 reward and its search effort citing the case’s inconsistencies and halted cooperation.
