California Parents Arrested for Murder in Infant Disappearance

Jake and Rebecca Haro, the parents of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro reported missing in California, were arrested on murder charges over a week after the child’s disappearance was reported. The infant was last seen outside a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa, where Rebecca Haro claimed she was attacked and knocked unconscious while changing Emmanuel’s diaper. Authorities found inconsistencies in Rebecca Haro’s statements and noted she refused to continue interviews after being confronted with these discrepancies, though Jake Haro’s attorney maintains he is cooperating with investigators. Despite the arrests, law enforcement continues an active search for the missing infant. The couple surrendered electronic devices, including cellphones and gaming consoles, to aid the ongoing investigation. Additional background reveals the family has a history of child welfare concerns, including prior abuse allegations involving another child, Promise Faith, who suffered severe injuries as an infant.
