Overview

  • Riverside County prosecutors filed charges of murder with malice and making a false police report against Jake and Rebecca Haro, with bail set at $1 million each.
  • The parents appeared briefly in court on Aug. 26 with public defenders, and their arraignment was continued to Sept. 4.
  • San Bernardino County investigators concluded the reported Yucaipa parking-lot abduction did not occur and say they believe Emmanuel is deceased.
  • Detectives searched a Moreno Valley field near the 60 Freeway with cadaver dogs as the father was present in custody, but no remains were found and the search is ongoing.
  • Authorities served multiple search warrants, seized the father's car for evidence processing, and removed a 2-year-old from the home, while records show the father has a prior child-cruelty conviction; the parents maintain their innocence.
