The dad accused of murdering his 7-month-old son, Emmanuel Haro, was filmed wearing an orange prison jumpsuit as he helped cops search for his baby’s remains in wild land off a California highway.
Jake Haro was filmed assisting crews searching for the infant’s body off a highway in Moreno Valley, California, on Sunday — two days after he and his wife, Rebecca Haro, were arrested on murder charges, KTLA reported.
Video shows the 32-year-old suspect standing with investigators in an open field as cadaver dogs helped scour the area hunting any remains. However, no remains were found on Sunday, cops said.
His wife, Rebecca Haro, 41, had initially claimed that her son was kidnapped by someone who assaulted her outside a sporting goods store on Aug. 14.
She claimed that the stranger knocked her out — and she woke to find her baby gone.
Both she and her husband publicly begged for help finding the boy.
However, the local sheriff later said there were “inconsistencies in her initial statement,” and determined that the kidnapping “in Yucaipa “did not occur.”
“It is believed Emmanuel is deceased, and the search to recover his remains is ongoing,” the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
Jake and Rebecca Haro were arrested Friday at their Cabazon home and charged with Emmanuel’s murder.
Police stormed the murder suspects’ desert home and cuffed the disheveled and eerily emotionless couple — both of whom looked like they’d just rolled out of bed. They were hauled away separately, dramatic footage of the raid shows.
“The circumstances surrounding this investigation are tragic and we will continue to search for Emmanuel,” Sheriff Shannon Dicus said after the arrests.
