The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Wednesday morning that they are aware of a possible sighting of missing 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro reported in Kern County.

The investigation has raised urgent questions about the child's welfare and the credibility of the mother's original report.

The search for missing 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro continues, with inconsistencies in his mother's story and community appeals for help.

Investigators have seized the vehicle of Jake Haro, the father of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro, who has been missing for several days after his mother alleged he was kidnapped at a Yucaipa sporting goods store.

The vehicle seizure comes after authorities say investigators confronted the boy mother's about "inconsistencies" in her story about how the boy went missing.

According to court records, Jake Haro, the boy’s father, was convicted in June 2023 of willful child cruelty for an incident involving another child in Hemet. He’s due to appear in court on Sept. 2 for a violation of his probation.

Approximately 72 hours after Emmanuel was reportedly kidnapped from a Yucaipa parking lot, police were spotted at the Cabazon home where the 7-month-old's parents live. Why they were there, or whether there are any new breaks in the case, remains unknown.
