Jake Mitchell Haro plead guilty of murdering his baby Emmanuel, making a false police report in which he claimed the baby was abducted and assaulting his child, resulting in death. Haro made his plea directly to Riverside Superior Judge Gary Polk on Oct. 16, without making a deal with the Riverside District Attorney’s Office. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 3. Rebecca Haro, Jake’s spouse and co-defendant, still faces a felony murder charge and a misdemeanor false police report charge.

The Cabazon couple falsely reported the abduction of Emmanuel in Yucaipa on Aug. 14. The child’s body has not been found.
