The parents of missing infant Emmanuel Haro were arrested Friday for murder around a week after their 7-month-old mysteriously vanished, California authorities said.
Jake and Rebecca Haro were taken into custody by San Bernardino County Sheriff’s homicide detectives at their Cabazon home after the baby’s mother initially insisted her son was kidnapped outside a sporting goods store on Aug. 14.
But authorities said earlier this week that there were inconsistencies in Rebecca’s claims as the probe into the couple ramped up and the sheriff’s office refused to rule out foul play.
The sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post Friday that the pair were being charged with murder, but investigators will carry on searching for the baby boy with a full head of brown hair and brown eyes.
More details around the arrest and charges were not immediately available.
