Emmanuel Haro was a 7-month-old infant from Yucaipa, California, whose disappearance in August 2025 drew national attention, ultimately revealed as a murder case involving his parents.[2][3][4] Born around January 2025, he was reported missing on August 14, 2025, after his mother, 41-year-old Rebecca Renee Haro, claimed she was attacked and knocked unconscious outside a Big 5 sporting goods store on Yucaipa Boulevard, leaving the baby unattended in a stroller.[2][4] San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies searched the area but found no trace of Emmanuel, last seen wearing a black onesie.[2] Investigators quickly noted inconsistencies in Rebecca Haro's statements; she ceased cooperating after confrontation and declined a polygraph test.[2][4] Her husband, 32-year-old Jake Mitchell Haro, the boy's father, had a prior conviction in June 2023 for willful child cruelty involving another child from a previous relationship, whom he allegedly injured during a bath—the injuries deemed inconsistent with his account, leaving the child bedridden.[2][4] Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin later criticized the probation granted to Jake as an "outrageous error," asserting it contributed to Emmanuel's death.[4] On August 26, 2025, both parents were arrested and charged with murder and filing a false police report.[4] Searches, including one along the 60 Freeway with cadaver dogs and Jake Haro present, yielded no remains.[4] By November 3, 2025, Jake Haro pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.[6] Rebecca Haro's status remains tied to the ongoing case, with authorities stating no other suspects exist, though Emmanuel's body has not been recovered.[4][6] The incident underscores failures in prior child protection interventions, as highlighted by prosecutors.[4]
