Overview

  • Rebecca and Jake Haro were arrested on Aug. 22 and booked without bail on murder charges, with authorities naming no additional suspects.
  • Detectives served multiple search warrants, seized electronic devices, and reviewed surveillance video after noting inconsistencies in the mother’s statements.
  • The search for Emmanuel’s remains is ongoing; on Sunday, investigators worked with cadaver dogs along the 60 Freeway near Gilman Springs Road as the father assisted in the field, but nothing was found.
  • Riverside County child protective services removed a 2-year-old from the Haro home, and deputies confirmed a separate child-abuse investigation in Moreno Valley related to the family.
  • Court records show Jake Haro was convicted in 2023 of willful child cruelty in an unrelated case, and Rebecca Haro now asserts in a jail interview that her kidnapping account is true.
