Jake Haro, 32, and his wife Rebecca Haro have been arrested on suspicion of murdering their 7-month-old son, Emmanuel Haro. Authorities acted after inconsistencies emerged in the couple’s account of the child’s disappearance, which they initially claimed was the result of a kidnapping outside a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa on August 14, 2025.
According to police reports, Rebecca Haro stated that she was attacked and knocked unconscious, and her baby was abducted during the incident. However, investigators found discrepancies in her story, prompting a full-scale investigation. Both parents were taken into custody on August 22, 2025, and are currently being held without bail. Authorities believe Emmanuel is deceased, though his remains have not yet been recovered.
Jake Haro has a documented history of child cruelty. In 2023, he was convicted in a separate case where his 10-week-old daughter suffered permanent disabilities. Following the current investigation, authorities also removed a 2-year-old child from the Haro household as a precautionary measure.
The case has drawn significant national attention due to the disturbing circumstances and the alleged fabrication of the kidnapping story. Law enforcement continues to appeal to the public for any information that may assist in locating Emmanuel or clarifying the events surrounding his disappearance.
This investigation highlights ongoing concerns about child safety and the importance of thorough checks in cases of reported abductions. As authorities continue their inquiry, the Haros face serious legal consequences if found responsible for the death of their son.
