Eight days after Rebecca Haro reported the disappearance of infant son Emmanuel Aug. 14, she and his dad Jake Haro were arrested on a murder charge, the San Bernardino Sheriff Department confirmed.

California police are still searching for a 7-month-old boy after his mother said he was kidnapped outside a store in California.

Riverside County authorities confirmed Wednesday that they removed a 2-year-old child from the Haro home after Emmanuel was reported missing, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. The removal is another twist in an already complicated case.

Authorities searching for a missing 7-month-old boy claim his mother has provided "inconsistent" statements to investigators while his father has a prior conviction for child cruelty.

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

According to Riverside County records, the missing 7-month-old's father pleaded guilty to willful cruelty to a child following a 2018 arrest.
