Overview

  • San Bernardino County sheriff's detectives arrested Jake and Rebecca Haro at their Cabazon home on Aug. 22 on suspicion of murder under California Penal Code 187.
  • Seven-month-old Emmanuel has not been found, and authorities say the search continues as they ask the public to submit tips.
  • The mother had reported on Aug. 14 that she was attacked outside a Big 5 in Yucaipa and that the baby was gone when she regained consciousness, but officials later cited contradictions in her account.
  • Detectives executed multiple search warrants, deployed K-9 and cadaver dogs, reviewed surveillance footage, and seized the father's car and several electronic devices for forensic processing.
  • Riverside County child protective services removed a 2-year-old from the Haro home, and court records show the father has a 2023 conviction for willful child cruelty.
