US EditionParents plead not guilty to murder of missing 7-month-old son in California
Authorities allege prolonged abuse led to infant Emmanuel's death; parents charged with murder and falsifying police reports, held on $1 million bail each, awaiting next court hearing.
- At a Riverside Superior Court hearing Thursday, Jake Haro and Rebecca Haro pleaded not guilty to murder and filing a false police report in their missing 7-month-old son Emmanuel Haro's case.
- Authorities say Emmanuel died after prolonged abuse between Aug. 5 and Aug. 14, while Rebecca Haro's reported Aug. 14 kidnapping was found not to have occurred.
- Court records and searches revealed Jake Haro's prior child-cruelty conviction from 2023 and a 2024 weapons charge; search teams scoured a Moreno Valley field and Highway 60 without finding Emmanuel's remains, though investigators say last week they have a strong indication of their location.
- Both parents remain jailed on $1 million bail each; they will return to court on Sept. 16 for a felony conference, with Jake represented by public defenders Allison Lowe and Paulette Garthwaite and Rebecca awaiting conflict panel counsel.
- Sheriff's investigators remain focused on locating Emmanuel's remains and urge the public to call tip line 909-890-4904 or use We-Tip as the case draws true-crime audience and national media attention.
