Emmanuel Haro’s Parents Plead Not Guilty to Murder of Missing Infant

Jake and Rebecca Haro — the parents of missing 7-month-old baby Emmanuel Haro — have pleaded not guilty to murder.

The controversial couple — who authorities believe are responsible for the disappearance and death of little Emmanuel — arrived at the Riverside, California courthouse separately Thursday to be formally charged with murder and filing a false police report.

Both Jake and Rebecca pleaded not guilty to murder with malice Thursday. They’re held on $1 million bond each … their next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 16.

Jake is being represented by public defenders Allison Lowe and Paulette Garthwaite. Rebecca has her own attorney, Jeff Moore — a former deputy Riverside County district attorney who notably represented Louise Turpin … the wife convicted of abusing 12 of her children, now serving life in prison.

The Haro case has captured the nation’s attention due to its many twists and turns. Rebecca initially reported their son missing on Aug. 14, telling reporters Emmanuel was snatched from a parking lot in Yucaipa, about an hour and a half east of Los Angeles.
