A BABY from California has been missing since Thursday after his mom claimed he was kidnapped during an attack in a parking lot.

In an update, investigators have said her story is riddled with “inconsistencies” and that “foul play cannot be ruled out”.

Seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro from Yucaipa in San Bernadino County was allegedly snatched from his mother’s truck as she was changing his diaper before going into a sporting goods store.

Rebecca Haro told investigators that she had been hit from behind and knocked unconscious before quickly coming to and realizing her youngest son was missing.

A frantic search for the baby was sparked with helicopters and K9 units also in attendance at the scene at a Big 5 parking lot just before 8pm on Thursday.

With no sign of Emmanuel, the San Bernadino County Sheriff’s Office issued a bleak update on Saturday stating: “The search for baby Emmanuel Haro continues; investigators cannot rule out foul play.”
