3. Main Segment: The Baby Emmanuel Mystery

A. Disappearance & Investigation Details

• [07:00–12:00]

  • Emmanuel Harrow was reported missing on August 14, 2025, after his mother (Rebecca Harrow) claimed she was attacked and the baby kidnapped outside a Big Five Sporting Goods in Yucaipa, CA.

  • Serious inconsistencies: No suspect or vehicle description, and no Amber Alert issued because "there was no description."

  • Police reviewed all camera footage and found no evidence of an attack, no suspect, and no one following the mother.

    “How you attack and you have no description of a vehicle or the person...No Amber alert...no camera footage over there doesn't show anybody attacking anybody.” [09:30] – Flo

• The mother’s story doesn’t line up with physical evidence or surveillance.

B. Father’s Criminal Record & Family Background

• [12:30–16:00]

  • Emmanuel’s father, Jake Harrow, has a 2023 felony conviction for child cruelty (stemming from a 2018 incident where he allegedly beat his daughter nearly to death; she now has only 3% brain function).

  • He received just 180 days in jail, but “only served one day.”

  • Multiple people from his past (including ex-coworkers and an ex-partner) describe him as violent, untrustworthy, and “crazy.”

    "This dude guilty as hell. I don't care. Law enforcement has conducted extensive searches...the mother stopped cooperating. What mother stops cooperating when people is looking for your damn child?" [14:05] – Flo

• The mother has stopped cooperating with authorities—which Flo and listeners flag as highly suspicious.

C. Timeline and Physical Evidence Contradicting Parents’ Story

• [16:00–28:00]

  • Security footage shows Rebecca’s car at the Big Five, but she never got out, contrary to her story about being attacked while changing the baby’s diaper.

  • No witnesses or cameras recorded the supposed assault or kidnapping.

  • Neighbors and store employees state baby Emmanuel wasn’t with her that day; she reportedly had a black eye before the “incident.”

    “...the footage that picked her up and picked her vehicle up shows that she never even got out of the car. When did the attack happen? In the car?...You never got out of the car! ...Is this how kidnappings go?” [22:30] – Flo

• A fire at an abandoned house/trailer on the Harrow family’s street around the time of the disappearance raises further suspicions.

D. Worker and Community Testimony

• [28:30–36:00]

  • Social workers have removed Emmanuel’s two-year-old sibling from the household due to safety concerns.

  • Former Walmart coworkers and a private investigator describe Jake as unstable, violent, and previously abusive.

    “His previous child or daughter. He beat the daughter...They say he's a workers comp scammer, violent past. Just an overall criminal.” [14:30, 35:00] – Flo

  • Rebecca’s brother, James, is serving time for a 2018 first-degree murder where he tried to stage a suicide—suggesting a family pattern of deception and violence.

E. Attorney and Public Reaction

• [36:00–42:00]

  • The parents’ attorney appeared on News Nation, claiming they haven’t searched for Emmanuel because the police took their car.

  • The community and Flo express outrage, saying a real parent would search “on foot, in a wheelchair, or hitchhiking” if necessary.

    "If you took my legs, I would be out there in a wheelchair. You not stopping me from looking for my child unless I'm guilty." [42:30] – Flo

• Listeners echo that true parents would do “whatever it takes” to find their children.

F. Staging and Pre-Meditation

• [44:00–50:00]

  • A private investigator reports that the parents asked about surveillance cameras at Big Five weeks earlier, under the pretext of a car break-in. Flo and listeners suggest this indicates planning.

    "They went up there and tried to see what the cameras was like...they was planning this the whole time." [48:00] – Flo

  • Employees state Rebecca did not have Emmanuel with her on the supposed abduction day, contradicting her claims.

G. Speculation and Calls for Arrest

• [51:00–56:00]

  • Flo and listeners agree the evidence points overwhelmingly to the parents' guilt and urge authorities to arrest Rebecca and Jake before they flee.

    “When they gonna like they need to go ahead and rest, go ahead and arrest these parents, man. Go ahead and arrest these parents and get this out the way before they, the next thing they're gonna do is start running.” [54:00] – Flo
