The father of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro helped investigators with a search for the baby\u2019s remains in Moreno Valley on Sunday, authorities announced, but a body was not found.
\n
\nJake Haro, 32, worked with investigators and cadaver dogs during the search on the westbound shoulder of the 60 Freeway near Gilman Springs Road, but Emmanuel\u2019s body was not located, said Mara Rodriguez, a spokesperson for the San Bernardino County Sheriff\u2019s Department.<\/p>\n
The search occurred two days after Jake Haro and the child\u2019s mother were arrested on suspicion of murder following the baby\u2019s disappearance. Rebecca Haro, 41, initially told authorities on Aug. 14 that she was knocked unconscious outside a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa and awoke to find Emmanuel was gone. Investigators later determined there were inconsistencies in Rebecca Haro\u2019s story and learned the baby wasn\u2019t kidnapped after searching the couple\u2019s home and reviewing surveillance footage.<\/p>\n
In 2018, Jake Haro was charged with willful child cruelty in Riverside County, along with Vanessa Haro, after their 10-week-old daughter was hospitalized with broken bones. He pleaded guilty to a judge in 2023 and was sentenced to 180 days in the sheriff\u2019s work release program along with a suspended four-year prison sentence. Jake Haro was also required to attend a child abuser treatment program.<\/p>\n
After Jake and Rebecca Haro\u2019s arrests last week, officials with the San Bernardino County Sheriff\u2019s Department said they believe Emmanuel is dead and investigators are searching for his remains. The couple is being held without bail. By 6 p.m. Sunday, investigators had left the area.<\/p>\n
