RIVERSIDE, Calif. (Court TV) — Rebecca Haro pleaded guilty to several charges related to the death of her missing 7-month-old son, Emmanuel Haro, at a court hearing on Friday.
The defendant, 42, and her husband, Jake Haro, 33, were originally charged with murder and filing a false police report over the infant’s presumed death. Emmanuel was reported missing on August 14, 2025. While the little boy’s mother initially said he was kidnapped during a diaper change in a store parking lot, deputies quickly determined that story did not hold water.
Rebecca Haro was in court for a previously scheduled preliminary hearing to determine whether or not she should stand trial on murder charges for her son’s death. Those proceedings and questions were short-circuited by the plea agreement reached between the state and the defense. Her since-shelved trial would have started in August.
