For now, investigators continue their search for Emmanuel. Two days before Jake and Rebecca’s arrest, the sheriff’s department told KTLA 5 there was a possible sighting of the baby somewhere in Kern County.
“Our investigators have followed up on the reported sightings of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro, but he has not yet been located,” the sheriff’s department continued in a separate statement Aug. 20, “While Emmanuel’s father has retained an attorney, if the parents choose to work with detectives, we welcome their cooperation as we continue efforts to locate Emmanuel.”
As for a fire that was reported at a property near the Haro home, the sheriff’s department noted they “have been in contact with the investigators of that incident.”
“At this time, we have no information indicating the fire is related, and we will continue to communicate with fire investigators as their investigation progresses,” they added Aug. 20. “Emmanuel continues to be the main focus of this investigation, and we will continue our efforts to locate him.”
Authorities have also expressed their appreciation for everyone who has worked on the case.
“The circumstances surrounding this investigation are tragic and we will continue to search for Emmanuel,” Sheriff Shannon Dicus added in the Aug. 22 post. “I want to thank members of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office, Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, the community, and media for bringing attention to this case. I trust our justice system will hold the parents accountable.”
