Jake and Rebecca Haro each pleaded not guilty on Thursday, Sept. 4, to charges of murder and filing a false police report in connection with the disappearance of their 7-month-old son, Emmanuel.
Both parents are jailed in protective custody, held in lieu of $1 million each.
Jeff Moore, Rebecca Haro’s attorney, noted to Superior Court Judge Gary Polk that the crimes are alleged to have occurred in Cabazon, which is closer to the Banning Justice Center than to Riverside. Moore said he believes the Banning courthouse would be a more appropriate venue for the case.
As they did in their first court appearance, the defendants sat on opposite sides of the courtroom, Rebecca in the back row of the two-row jury box and Jake in a chair near the defendants’ entrance/exit.
Rebecca Haro, 41, said she was changing the baby’s diaper in the parking lot of a Big 5 sporting goods store in Yucaipa on Aug. 14 when a man approached her, said, “Hola," and slugged her. Haro said she was knocked unconscious and when she awoke Emmanuel had vanished.
Haro later reiterated that account in a jailhouse interview with a Southern California News Group reporter. Jake Haro, 32, in a separate interview from jail, said his wife was innocent but would not say whether he was innocent. Haro also said he believes he and his wife were charged because of his 2023 guilty plea to a felony charge of willful child cruelty.
One of the conditions of Haro’s probation was that he attend a year-long child batterer’s treatment program.
“Mr. Haro has made notable progress in this Batterers/Parenting class/program,” a counselor wrote on July 18, 2024. “He is attentive, polite, and appropriately interactive in class with other members and (the) facilitator.
Within 24 hours of Rebecca’s initial report, according to San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus, detectives found inconsistencies in her statements, prompting a massive joint investigation involving his department, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office.
Jake Haro rejected that contention in his jail interview but would not address whether Emmanuel may have died in an accident.
Among those who won public seats were a half-dozen people who said they post coverage of the case on social media.
“I don’t think any child should be subjected to child abuse again and again and again,” said Ayala, who wore a shirt with the baby’s photo and the words “Justice for Emmanuel.”
