Prosecutors Say Parents of Missing Infant Emmanuel Haro Killed Him After Prolonged Abuse

Investigators are still searching for his remains.

Overview

  • Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin said evidence shows the 7-month-old was subjected to repeated abuse and likely succumbed to his injuries before he was reported missing.
  • Jake Haro, 32, and Rebecca Haro, 41, were arrested and charged with murder and filing a false report and are being held on $1 million bail each pending arraignment next week.
  • Detectives reported inconsistencies in the mother’s account of a parking-lot abduction, and authorities confirmed no kidnapping occurred in Yucaipa.
  • Deputies searched a Moreno Valley field with Jake Haro present, but no remains were found, and prosecutors said investigators have strong indications of where the body may be.
  • Unverified reports that Jake Haro confessed in jail circulated, but the district attorney said claims of a confession are not true.
