CA CA - Emmanuel Haro, 7-months, reported kidnapped 7:30pm from Big 5 parking lot, Yucaipa Blvd, Yucaipa, 14 Aug 2025

I think Ashleigh Banfield did a great job with him,

What did the attorney say at around 4:00? Did he say the two year old was “bruised”?

A spokesperson for the Sheriff's Department says Jake Haro's vehicle was seized for evidence amid the investigation. He is cooperating with law enforcement and investigators, his attorney said in a statement.

At this point, deputies have not put out a description for a potential suspect.

Over the weekend, detectives also searched the parents' Cabazon home with K-9 units. A fire broke out Tuesday at a house on the same block where the Haros live. Authorities say the fire's proximity to the Haros' residence appears to be a coincidence.

Jake's attorney speaks

interesting to me that Jake's attorney said - "they haven't had their vehicles since Thursday night, when the ALLEGED kidnapping happened"

I think you said law enforcement wanted him to "produce" the child, and he produced the child.

So the attorney only represents Jake. He can't and won't speak for Rebecca. And the kidnapping is alleged. I see this as Jake distancing himself from Rebecca and her report of kidnapping via his attorney. Won't be long now, JMO, until they turn on one another. Jake is the more experienced with the legal system thanks to his previous charges of infant abuse. He attempted to shift all blame for that on his then wife.

Rebecca needs to talk, and soon, or Jake is going to hang this all on her.

Yep.

I remain worried about her well-being. Thankful the world is watching because that might force someone to behave. imo

It is a tactic that has proven useful to him in the past.

you are a compassionate person. I can't find it in me for her just now. The longer this drags on the harder it is to see her as a victim, even if she is a victim of DV.

Well, I don't like her or trust her, tbh. But I don't want to see violence, no matter who it is against.

I do think she's in a dangerous position unless she talks and helps put him behind bars.

But without a car and phone, that isolates her more. I hope LE or a lawyer are providing a lifeline for her to easily pick up.

The grandma described the couple as 'homebodies"

snipped

The homebodies comment has been nagging at me. Not that homebody is a bad thing - I love to be in my own home and the coziness of it.

But I'm wondering if they are "homebodies" because mom and children are often bruised? Having to hide abuse would put a huge damper on being in public and with socializing. imo

Just a thought.

I don't like the two of those "homebodies" in the house alone together right now. Are they alone? Is he able to work without his vehicle? Sounds tense, imo.

Please find that baby soon, LE!

It's SoCal, so fires just sort of happen, especially now during fire season, but the fact that it's so close is kind of suspicious. Maybe they're trying to destroy evidence. In which case, I hope they catch more charges for arson.

The local FB reporter witnessed the fire being started. He said it was 2 homeless people and there are known to LE.

Can you please share the link to this info?

Freudian slip. Even he can't believe his client's BS.

We have followed so many cases during our time here.
This might be the first case I really felt like the SO was in danger. In real danger. Jake's rope is short and it seems as if he could really up the anti.

Why did he not make a video then? He lying. IMO
Just kidding but did he get a video?

And he easily could. She's the one who told LE she was attacked.
She was alone at the sporting good's store - he wasn't there.
He can't say for sure that any of it happened because she's the one who told him it happened.

He could quite easily say "baby Emmanuel was fine when she took him to the store" and then, poof, it's on her. All of it.

He could; but no police investigator worth their salt is going to accept that in someone of Jake's background without doing some deep questioning of him; and maybe not even then.

Yep, and she in turn will claim (perhaps truthfully) that she is a battered spouse and that he killed the baby and she was unable to stop him, and he's the one who made her come up with the kidnapper story, or something like that.

It is not up to them (the investigators) The courts and rule of law and Becky is a duck.

ETA and she thinks she is protecting him , so dumb.

And the case against the father wouldn't go away if the baby wasn't at that game, which I don't think he was. The father would have to explain his knowledge - and lying - about that. imo

I think the father will turn on the mom, though. jmo

Yeah, it already kind of sounds like the attorney is preparing for that. It's about the only possible defense he has.
