RUGGED TERRAIN SEARCH FOR BABY EMMANUEL: TOT "DISAPPEARS" 9 DAYS BEFORE "KIDNAP?"

from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

  Only twelve days after Rebecca Haro reports her son's kidnapping and claims she was knocked out in a parking lot while changing the 15-month-old's diaper, both parents of Emmanuel Haro are charged with murder. They are also charged with making a false police report. However, Rebecca, during a jailhouse interview, maintains her story that she was knocked out and her 7-month-old son, Emmanuel, was abducted. Jake Haro's lawyer, Vincent Hughes, says he doesn't know where the statement that his client stopped cooperating with detectives came from because he continues to offer Haro to investigators. Hughes also says Jake Haro wants to cooperate with investigators. The father of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro was pulled out of jail in his orange jumpsuit and taken to a remote area of Moreno Valley and was seen in the field with law enforcement. The department implies that while Jake Haro was at the scene, he was not helping in the search. Rebecca Haro tells a reporter with the Southern California newsgroup she was aware of Jake's previous child cruelty case; however, he treats her and all the kids great and claims "he's a good dad." She also tells the newsgroup they married in 2021. Prosecutors in Riverside County are requesting Rebecca and Jake Haro be held on a $1 million dollar bond.
