"Twelve days after they claimed their son vanished from a parking lot outside a sporting goods store, the parents of baby Emmanuel Haro have been charged in his death. Emmanuel's parents, Jake Haro, 32, and Rebecca Haro, 41, are scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon in Riverside County on one count each of murder with malice. They were also charged with making a false police report, a misdemeanor. Riverside County prosecutors are asking they be held in lieu of a $1 million bail."
"Rebecca Haro said she was attacked in a Yucaipa parking lot on Aug. 14 outside a Big 5 store while changing Emmanuel's diaper. But San Bernardino County Sheriff's investigators said there were inconsistencies in her initial statement and when they confronted her about those details she stopped cooperating. Authorities arrested the parents at their Cabazon home on Friday. San Bernardino County Sheriff's investigators are now focused on finding Emmanuel's remains, which over the weekend took search teams to an isolated field in Moreno Valley."
"Jake Haro was previously convicted of child abuse in 2023 with his previous wife. A medical report showed that his daughter was seriously injured when she was examined at a Hemet hospital in 2018, according to court records. The unidentified girl suffered head trauma and had multiple fractured and signs of past bone breaks, a police said in an affidavit. He was convicted of willful cruelty to a child and was on probation in that case when he was arrested last week."
Jake and Rebecca Haro face murder charges with malice and a misdemeanor false police report after claiming their 7-month-old son Emmanuel vanished from a sporting goods store parking lot. Prosecutors seek $1 million bail and arraignment is scheduled in Riverside County. Rebecca reported an attack while changing the infant's diaper, but investigators flagged inconsistencies and she ceased cooperating. The couple were arrested at their Cabazon home and search teams, accompanied by Jake Haro, searched an isolated Moreno Valley field without finding remains. Jake Haro had a 2023 child abuse conviction and was on probation at arrest.
