Overview

  • Riverside County prosecutors filed murder with malice and false-report charges against Jake and Rebecca Haro, with bail set at $1 million and arraignment continued to Sept. 4.
  • Officials said they have a “pretty strong indication” of where the 7-month-old’s remains may be located, though searches so far have not found the child.
  • Criminal complaints indicate Emmanuel may have died between Aug. 5 and Aug. 14, and authorities say he is presumed dead.
  • Investigators determined the reported Yucaipa parking-lot abduction did not occur and executed multiple warrants, seizing phones, gaming consoles, and the father’s vehicle for forensic review.
  • District Attorney Michael Hestrin alleged prolonged abuse and noted Jake Haro’s 2023 willful child cruelty conviction; a related 2-year-old has been removed from the home by child protective services.
