Search continues for missing 7-month-old
Authorities say the mother of Emmanuel Haro is no longer helping with investigators in the search for her missing son.
YUCAIPA, Calif. - Where is Emmanuel Haro?
The search for the missing baby boy continues in the Inland Empire and now, investigators say his mother is no longer cooperating with them.
What we know:
Emmanuel Haro’s mother, Rebecca Haro, initially told authorities she was "knocked out" when her 7-month-old son was taken from her outside a store in Yucaipa. The incident was reported at a strip mall on Yucaipa Boulevard and 6th Street on Thursday, Aug. 14.
"I woke up on the floor and my son was gone," Rebecca Haro told FOX 11 in a previous interview. "Please don’t hurt my son, please protect him. Please come forward, I’m begging you."
Since then, detectives with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said they have found "inconsistencies" in the mother’s story, and she has since stopped talking to them. Authorities have not been able to rule out foul play.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Monday that several search warrants were served at the Haro home, though they did not specify what, if anything, was found. Detectives have also obtained a "large amount" of surveillance footage from areas of interest.
FOX 11 observed Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies at the family’s Cabazon home Monday afternoon. A welfare check was requested by Child Protective Services for the other children in the home, but nobody was there.
The Press-Enterprise reported that the Uvalde Foundation for Kids called off its independent search and its $5,000 reward after it uncovered an abuse case involving the child’s father.
Emmanuel is described as being approximately 24 inches tall, weighing about 21 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a black Nike onesie.
