Meanwhile, the investigation into Rebecca and Jake Haro’s conduct has broadened. Riverside County child protective services confirmed that a separate child-abuse report related to the couple is still under review. However, no new charges have been filed. Both parents are in custody on murder charges. They will be arraigned on September 2 in Riverside County Superior Court. No bail is allowed.

On Saturday evening, a candlelight vigil was held outside the Haros’ Cabazon home. Many residents, family friends, and local pastors came together. They prayed for Emmanuel’s safe return and offered comfort to the grieving community. Ramona Street was lined with blue balloons, signs, and toys.
