The ongoing case of baby Emmanuel Haro took a new turn on Tuesday as his mother, Rebecca Haro, entered a plea of not guilty to charges of murder, related to her missing infant son. The Southern California mother appeared before the court in Riverside, where efforts were made by her attorney to shield her from media cameras.
Earlier in the month, Jake Haro, the father of the 7-month-old, admitted guilt to second-degree murder. His plea also included charges of assault causing bodily harm to a child and a misdemeanor charge for filing a false report.
Rebecca Haro is scheduled to return to court in January for a felony settlement conference, where further proceedings will take place.
As of now, there have been no updates regarding the location of baby Emmanuel’s remains, leaving the tragic case with many unanswered questions.
No new information came to light regarding the whereabouts of the missing baby’s body.

Emmanuel was reported missing on Aug. 14. His parents were arrested in connection with the baby’s death.
Jake and Rebecca Haro were taken into custody in August after a multi-agency investigation into the disappearance and presumed death of their son.
It began Aug. 14, when Rebecca said she was attacked and the baby kidnapped in a Big 5 parking lot in Yucaipa.
Questions were raised after authorities said there were inconsistencies in the parents’ story, leading them to search their Cabazon home multiple times before they were arrested and charged.
Rebecca Haro has a preliminary hearing set for Monday, Nov. 3.
