This morning, detectives from the Sheriff’s Homicide Detail and Specialized Enforcement Division arrested Jake and Rebecca Haro at their residence in Cabazon for PC 187 – Murder.

Emmanuel Haro was reported missing on Thursday, August 14, when his mother, Rebecca Haro, claimed she was attacked and knocked unconscious outside a Big 5 sporting goods store in Yucaipa while changing his diaper. When she awoke, her son was gone.
