Overview

  • Jake and Rebecca Haro were charged in Riverside County with murder and making a false police report, held on $1 million bail each, with arraignment continued to Sept. 4.
  • Authorities said they have a pretty strong indication of where the infant’s remains may be and are conducting focused searches after a weekend effort in Moreno Valley found nothing.
  • Prosecutors now list the possible date of death as between Aug. 5 and Aug. 14, shifting the investigation from an alleged parking-lot kidnapping to a homicide inquiry.
  • Investigators cited inconsistencies in the mother’s account, reviewed surveillance and forensic data, executed search warrants, and seized the father’s vehicle and electronic devices before arrests.
  • Officials emphasized the father’s prior child-cruelty conviction and criticized the earlier grant of probation; another child from the Haro home has been placed in county protective custody.
