Parents of Missing Baby Emmanuel Haro Arrested for Murder, Search for Remains Underway

CABAZON, Calif. – The parents of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro were arrested Friday on suspicion of murder, more than a week after the infant was reported missing under what authorities now say was a faked kidnapping. Rebecca Haro, 41, and Jake Haro, 32, were taken into custody at their Cabazon home, with San Bernardino County Sheriff’s officials confirming they believe Emmanuel is deceased and the search for his remains is actively ongoing.

Sheriff’s investigators, supported by armored vehicles, executed the arrests Friday morning, removing evidence from the property as a crowd gathered outside. The couple is accused of fabricating the story that Emmanuel was abducted on August 14th, when his mother initially claimed she was attacked and knocked unconscious outside a Yucaipa store. Authorities noted inconsistencies in her statements, leading to her ceasing cooperation with the investigation.

The tragic development has drawn significant public interest, with a memorial for Emmanuel set up near the Haro home. San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus thanked law enforcement and the public for their assistance, stating, “While these arrests mark a significant development, our focus remains on finding Emmanuel.”

Further details emerging from the investigation include the recent removal of a 2-year-old child from the Haros’ home by Riverside County child protective services. Additionally, Jake Haro has a prior conviction from June 2023 for willful child cruelty involving another child, with a probation violation hearing scheduled for September 2nd in a separate case.
