Authorities are sharing an update on the Emmanuel Haro case.
The parents of the missing 7-year-old, Rebecca Haro and Jake Haro, were arrested Aug. 22 on a murder charge, the San Bernardino Sheriff Department confirmed.
“This morning, detectives from the Sheriff’s Homicide Detail and Specialized Enforcement Division arrested Jake and Rebecca Haro at their residence in Cabazon for PC 187 – Murder,” the department’s public information office said in a statement to E! News. “Investigators will continue their search for seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro.”

E! News has reached out to lawyers for Rebecca and Jake and has yet to hear back.
The arrest comes just over a week after Rebecca first reported Emmanuel’s supposed kidnapping from a local a Big 5 Sporting Goods store parking lot in Yucaipa, about 70 miles east of Los Angeles, on Aug. 14. Two days later, authorities announced that they weren’t ruling out foul play due to “inconsistencies” found in the mother’s testimony.
