The parents of a seven-month-old boy who has been missing for nearly two weeks in Southern California have been charged with his murder.

Jake Haro, 32, and his wife, Rebecca Haro, 41, were each charged with felony murder with malice on Tuesday in the death of their son Emmanuel, according to the Riverside County District Attorney’s office. They were also charged with filing a false police report, which is a misdemeanor. 

The Haros initially reported that their son had been kidnapped on Aug. 14, though investigators later determined that did not happen. Authorities believe the child is dead, though his remains have yet to be recovered as of Tuesday.

The couple appeared in court on Tuesday with their public defenders, but their arraignment was delayed until Sept. 4. Each was being held on $1 million bond, according to online jail records. 

Press-Enterprise in a jailhouse interview last weekend that her husband wouldn’t hurt an infant, and that she wanted to find her son.

“I want to be out looking for my baby,” she said. “I will not give up. I will not give up on my baby.”

Fox News Digital’s Louis Casiano and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
