Haro memorial removed from Cabazon property tied to Baby Emmanuel case

CABAZON, Calif. (KESQ) A memorial dedicated to Baby Emmanuel Haro has been removed from the Cabazon property that has been a focal point in the investigation into his disappearance.

News Channel 3 visited the home Tuesday and confirmed that candles, stuffed animals and other memorial items that had been outside the house in recent weeks are now gone.

Several TikTok livestreamers who gathered at the scene said people they identified as family members removed the memorial and talked about plans to rent out the property. News Channel 3 has not independently confirmed their relationship to the Haro family or any rental arrangements for the home.

The change at the Cabazon property comes as the criminal cases connected to Baby Emmanuel move forward in Riverside County.

According to the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, Jake Mitchell Haro pleaded guilty on October 16, 2025, to second degree murder in the death of his 7-month-old son, along with charges of child endangerment and filing a false police report.\ He was sentenced on November 3 to 25 years to life in state prison, plus additional time for prior child abuse convictions.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office confirmed last month that on November 19 Haro was released from county custody and transferred to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to begin serving his sentence.

Emmanuel’s mother, Rebecca Haro of Cabazon, has pleaded not guilty to murder and related charges and remains in custody on $1 million bail.Court records show she is due back in court on January 21 for a felony settlement hearing in the case.

To date, prosecutors say they believe Emmanuel died as a result of ongoing abuse, but his remains have not been recovered.

Investigators have previously said they served multiple search warrants at the Cabazon home and carried out extensive searches in both Yucaipa and Cabazon, as well as in other areas of Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

News Channel 3 has reached out to the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office for any new information on the status of the case. The office has not responded.
