Parents of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro arrested days after claiming he was kidnapped

The parents of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro were arrested on Friday, just over a week after his mother told authorities he was kidnapped from the parking lot of a sporting goods store in California.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department confirmed both Jake and Rebecca Haro were detained on suspicion of first-degree murder at their home in Cabazon, located about 90 miles east of Los Angeles. No other details regarding their arrests were provided.

According to Emmanuel’s parents, the boy was allegedly taken from the parking lot outside Big 5 Sporting Goods in Yucaipa on the afternoon of Aug. 14.

Rebecca Haro told investigators she was punched while changing her baby’s diaper, and that he was gone by the time she regained consciousness. It sparked an intense search for the missing boy, who has still not been found.

“Investigators will continue their search for 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro,” police said in a social media post.

Earlier this week, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said it was aware of reported sightings of Emmanuel, including in Kern County, NBC 4 reported.

“We know the community is deeply concerned about this case and we will continue to provide information, to the extent it does not jeopardize the investigation,” the agency said. “Our investigators have followed up on the reported sightings of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro, but he has not yet been located.”

Emmanuel is around 24 inches tall and weighs about 21 pounds. He has brown hair, brown eyes and is cross-eyed, police said. He was last seen wearing a black Nike onesie.

In the days since he disappeared, authorities said they uncovered “inconsistencies” in Rebecca Haro’s story and that they could not rule out foul play. Their investigation also turned up a car belonging to Emmanuel’s father, who previously pleaded guilty to willful cruelty to a child following a 2018 arrest, ABC 7 reported, citing Riverside County records.

SBSD investigators served a search warrant at the Haro’s home last week. A 2-year-old child was removed from the residence and has since been transferred into the care of the Riverside County child protective services.

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024. Notes allegedly found by police in Luigi Mangione's backpack after he was detained at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvani...

Britain is lowering the voting age to 16. It’s getting a mixed reaction

By JILL LAWLESS LONDON (AP) — There has been a mixed reaction in Britain to the government’s announcement that it will lower the voting age from 18 to 16 before the next national election . The Labour Party administration says it’s part of a package of changes to strengthen British democracy and help restore trust in politics. The opposition says it’s a power-grab by the left. Experts say it’s complicated, with mixed evidence about how lowering the voting age affects democracy and election outcomes. The biggest change since the 1960s Britain’s voting age last fell in 1969, when the U.K. became one of the first major democracies to lower it from 21 to 18. Many other countries, including the United States, followed suit within a few years. Now the government says it will lower the threshold to 16 by the time the next general election is held, likely in 2029. That will bring the whole country into line with Scotland and Wales, which have semiautonomous governments and already let 1...
