The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Wednesday morning that they are aware of a possible sighting of missing 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro reported in Kern County.

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, Calif. ( KTLA) – As unsettling new details continue to emerge in the case of a missing 7-month-old boy from California, Nexstar’s KTLA has confirmed the baby’s mother has a convicted murderer in the family.

California police are still searching for a 7-month-old boy after his mother said he was kidnapped outside a store in California.

The Los Angeles Times reported this week that Emmanuel’s father, Jack Haro, was convicted in June 2023 of willful child cruelty for an incident involving another child. He is due in court in September for that case, the outlet said.

A mother has stopped cooperating with authorities after she claimed her seven-month-old son was 'kidnapped'. Rebecca Haro claimed that she was simply changing her son Emmanuel Haro's nappy outside her car in front of a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa, California, when she was knocked unconscious.

The national Uvalde Foundation for Kids also called off its independent search for the 7-month-old boy, as well as a reward offer.

Rebecca Haro's inconsistent statements spark new questions in the disappearance of her baby Emmanuel, as investigators continue the urgent search in Yucaipa.
