Emmanuel was reported missing Aug. 14 under suspicious circumstances after his mother said she was attacked and knocked unconscious outside a Big 5 store in Yucaipa, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.

Detectives say the baby's mom, who said he had been kidnapped, "was confronted with inconsistencies" in her story.

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.
