Missing SoCal baby Emmanuel Haro's father seen with deputies amid search for child's body
Briefly

Law enforcement and the child's father were seen together in a remote Moreno Valley field during an ongoing search for the infant's body. The father was wearing an orange prison jumpsuit. The infant, Emmanuel Haro, was reported missing on Aug. 14 after his mother reported being attacked outside a retail store while changing the child's diaper. Jake and Rebecca Haro were arrested at their Cabazon residence. Scent-tracking dogs failed to locate the child. Investigators interviewed multiple individuals, confronted Rebecca with inconsistencies, and noted she declined to continue an interview. Officials said they could not rule out foul play and conducted extensive searches and search warrants in Yucaipa and Cabazon.
Young Emmanuel was reported missing on Aug. 14 at approximately 7:47 p.m. local time after the child's mother "reported being attacked outside a retail store on Yucaipa Boulevard," the sheriff's office said in a statement last week. Jake and Rebecca Haro were arrested at their residence in Cabazon, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said Friday. The mother, Rebecca Haro, previously told officials that "while she stood outside her vehicle, changing the child's diaper, she was physically assaulted by an unknown male and rendered unconscious," officials said.
Once on the scene in Yucaipa, scent-tracking dogs were deployed, but the 7-month-old was not found, officials said. The sheriff's department interviewed "multiple individuals" regarding the disappearance, including the child's mother and father. "During those interviews, Rebecca was confronted with inconsistencies in her initial statement and declined to continue with the interview," the sheriff's office said. After those interviews, officials said they were "unable to rule out foul play in the disappearance of Emmanuel." Since then, officials have conducted "extensive" searches in the areas of Yucaipa and Cabazon and have also served "several search warrants at the Haro home."
