On the afternoon of August 14, 2025, Rebecca Haro contacted 911 from a Big 5 Sporting Goods Store in Yucaipa, California to report that she had been attacked and her 7 month old son, Emmanuel, was kidnapped. She said that she had driven to the Big 5 from her older child's football game nearby to get him a new mouth guard. She brought the 7 month old with her while her husband, Jake Haro, stayed at the game with their other children. When she arrived in the parking lot, she noticed Emmanuel needed a fresh diaper, so she laid him down on the seat of the car and prepared to change him when she was attacked from behind, struck with a blow so hard that it caused her to see white, knocking her out cold. She fell to the ground and laid there for an unknown amount of time before coming to and finding her baby was missing. She called out his name and eventually went into the Big 5 asking if anyone had seen someone with a baby. 911 was called and a large scale search was launched by both the San Bernardino and Riverside Sheriffs Department assisting in the search efforts. Within days, the suspicion turned to the parents as inconsistencies came up in mom's story, along with emerging information regarding the dad's criminal history of abusing his children. If you have any information about Emmanuel Haro's whereabouts, contact the Specialized Investigations Division at 909-890-4904 or leave an anonymous tip at 800-78-CRIME or visit their website wetip.com
