Search for Emmanuel Haro along 60 Freeway
The search for missing Emmanuel Haro temporarily turned to a remote area in Moreno Valley over the weekend.
RIVERSIDE COUNTY, Calif. - The two-county search for the body of 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro turned to a remote area in Moreno Valley over the weekend.
What we know:
Officials announced on Friday that Emmanuel’s parents, Rebecca and Jake Haro, were arrested on suspicion of murder at their Cabazon home.
Cabazon is an unincorporated community in Riverside County, about 20 miles east of Palm Springs.
With both parents behind bars, the search for the baby boy intensified on the hills along the 60 Freeway near Gilman Springs Road in Moreno Valley.
Video from the scene showed Jake Haro handcuffed in an orange jumpsuit, assisting with search efforts alongside deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office and cadaver dogs.

The area is about 10 miles south of where Emmanuel was first reported missing on Aug. 14 from the Big 5 parking lot in Yucaipa.
It remains unclear what Jake Haro may have said to detectives that led them to Moreno Valley.
Officials later confirmed the search ended without finding the infant’s body.
Emmanuel's mother reported he was kidnapped
The backstory:
On the evening of Aug. 14, Rebecca Haro reported her baby was kidnapped after she was attacked outside the Big 5 sporting goods store in Yucaipa.
Days later, authorities said she stopped cooperating with investigators and that there were "inconsistencies" in her story.
