More Coverage on the Baby Haro Case
Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies said Jake Haro was not in criminal court today instead, he was taken to Riverside’s juvenile courthouse for a child custody hearing.
Juvenile court proceedings are closed to the public and do not appear on court calendars, which explains why his name didn’t show up in today’s docket.
Both Jake and Rebecca Haro remain in custody and are due back in Riverside Superior Court on Thursday for their felony settlement conference in the death of their 7-month-old son, Emmanuel.
Jake and Rebecca Haro were charged with the murder of their baby, Emmanuel Haro, in September.
Prosecutors allege Emmanuel was abused over time and died between Aug. 5 and Aug. 14. At a news conference, Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin said investigators believe Emmanuel “was abused over time” and died from those injuries. Emmanuel’s remains have not been found, but Hestrin said investigators have a strong indication of where the baby’s remains may be.
Anyone with information on this case or the whereabouts of Emmanuel is encouraged to contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Homicide Detail at 909-890-4904 or submit an anonymous tip to We-Tip.
