Emmanuel Haro’s mom breaks silence from jail with bold claim about missing boy days after both parents’ murder arrest

THE mother of missing baby Emmanuel Haro has broken her silence from behind bars with a dramatic claim about what really happened to her son.

Rebecca Haro insists her 7-month-old was kidnapped – even after cops arrested her and her husband on suspicion of murder.

The 41-year-old spoke in a tense jailhouse interview at Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside, California, on Sunday.

“I will not give up. I will not give up on my baby,” she told The Orange County Register, appearing to cry.

Law enforcement, however, believes Emmanuel is dead, and arrested both Rebecca and her husband, Jake, 32, on Friday at their Cabazon home.

The pair are being held without bail and are due in court on August 26.

Authorities say her story doesn’t add up and have pointed to multiple inconsistencies in her account.

Rebecca first told cops she was ambushed while changing Emmanuel’s diaper outside a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa, located 10 miles east of San Bernardino, on August 14.

She claimed she was knocked out and woke up to find her baby gone.

San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies later declared the kidnapping report a lie.

Still, Haro doubled down in her jail interview, saying, “I want to be out looking for my baby.”

Her tears and public pleas, however, have fueled growing skepticism.

The Uvalde Foundation for Kids, which initially offered to help in the search, pulled out after the parents stopped looking and failed to respond to calls.

Rumors also began circulating that Rebecca had visited the Big 5 days earlier, asking staff about security cameras after reporting a car burglary.

The sheriff’s department has not confirmed those claims.

Detectives have since scoured the Haros’ home, seizing electronics and a car belonging to Jake.

Family insiders told NewsNation that photos and clothes of Emmanuel were missing, and that some floorboards possibly stained with blood were removed.

According to reports, blood was found inside the house.

As part of the investigation, police released video showing the parents’ arrest and their home being searched, including a barn and outbuildings.

Jake has also been seen in prison overalls assisting police in the grim search for his son’s remains.

Footage showed him and officers combing a remote valley near the 60 Freeway in Moreno Valley, about 10 miles from the alleged abduction site.

Cadaver dogs were deployed, but no remains were found.

Cops have not said why they focused on that stretch of land.

Rebecca maintains her husband is innocent, saying he has been a loving father.

“He’s a good dad,” she insisted. “He would never hurt a baby.”

She added that Jake had treated her, her teenage child, their toddler daughter, and Emmanuel well since their 2021 marriage.

Jake previously faced a child cruelty case, but Rebecca brushed it aside, saying their relationship has been “wonderful.”

As of Sunday, Emmanuel remained missing, said sheriff’s spokeswoman Mara Rodriguez.

Police never issued an Amber Alert because they had no suspect description to go on.

The San Bernardino County sheriff’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment by The U.S. Sun.
