Investigators Collect Parents’ Phones in Search for Missing Cabazon Infant

The search for seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro, missing since last week, continues as investigators confirm they have collected the cell phones of his parents, Rebecca and Jake Haro, along with other items now being processed as evidence.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department announced Thursday that multiple pieces of potential evidence have been seized in the case, though specific details have not been released. Emmanuel was reported missing outside of a Big Five Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa, sparking a widespread search effort.

As the investigation intensifies, questions about the parents’ pasts have surfaced. Court records show that Emmanuel’s father, Jake Haro, has a scheduled court appearance on September 2nd for a probation violation. Haro was arrested last year for being a convicted felon and narcotic addict in possession of a firearm. He also has a 2018 conviction for child cruelty on his record.

Authorities have not publicly identified suspects in Emmanuel’s disappearance, but they emphasize that all leads are being pursued. Community members in Cabazon and beyond remain on alert, with law enforcement urging anyone with information about the infant’s whereabouts to come forward.

The case now enters its second week, with investigators balancing active search efforts alongside an in-depth review of the evidence collected so far. For Emmanuel’s family and the wider community, the hope remains focused on bringing the missing infant home safely.
