The father of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro helped investigators with a search for the baby’s remains in Moreno Valley on Sunday, authorities announced, but a body was not found.
Jake Haro, 32, worked with investigators and cadaver dogs during the search on the westbound shoulder of the 60 Freeway near Gilman Springs Road, but Emmanuel’s body was not located, said Mara Rodriguez, a spokesperson for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.

The search occurred two days after Jake Haro and the child’s mother were arrested on suspicion of murder following the baby’s disappearance.
By 6 p.m. Sunday, investigators had left the area.
Rebecca Haro, 41, initially told authorities on Aug. 14 that she was knocked unconscious outside a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa and awoke to find Emmanuel was gone.
Investigators later determined there were inconsistencies in Rebecca Haro’s story and learned the baby wasn’t kidnapped after searching the couple’s home and reviewing surveillance footage.
In 2018, Jake Haro was charged with willful child cruelty in Riverside County, along with Vanessa Haro, after their 10-week-old daughter was hospitalized with broken bones. He pleaded guilty to a judge in 2023 and was sentenced to 180 days in the sheriff’s work release program along with a suspended four-year prison sentence. Jake Haro was also required to attend a child abuser treatment program.
After Jake and Rebecca Haro’s arrests last week, officials with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said they believe Emmanuel is dead and investigators are searching for his remains.
The couple is being held without bail.
