New developments in the disappearance of a 7-month-old boy from San Bernardino County have revealed unsettling connections within the family. KTLA has confirmed that the baby’s mother, Rebecca Haro, has a convicted murderer in the family.

The search for the missing child began on August 14 when Rebecca and Jake Haro reported that their son was kidnapped from a Yucaipa Big 5 Sporting Goods store parking lot. Rebecca claimed she was knocked unconscious by a stranger, resulting in a black eye.

No AMBER Alert was issued due to the lack of descriptions for a suspect or vehicle. Despite efforts from the sheriff’s departments, which included utilizing helicopters and K-9 teams, neither the child nor the suspect has been found.

Following the reported kidnapping, investigators uncovered several troubling facts. The couple has been uncooperative with authorities, video footage potentially showing Rebecca with a black eye on August 3 might exist, their 2-year-old child was removed from their home, and Jake Haro has a previous felony for willful child cruelty.

The investigation’s focus has shifted to the parents. Authorities have enlisted cadaver dogs to search the family’s home in Cabazon and have confiscated Jake’s vehicle, cellphones, and other electronic devices to gather potential evidence.

Further scrutiny revealed that Rebecca’s brother, James Beushausen, was convicted of murdering his girlfriend in Palm Springs and had attempted to frame it as a suicide, according to a source close to the family.

The brutal killing, according to reporting from the Desert Sun, unfolded on March 15, 2017. 

Jaylynn Amanda Keith, 27, was found in the bathtub of the couple’s apartment with a single gunshot wound to the head.  

Beushausen, described by prosecutors during the trial as a “gun enthusiast,” struggled with alcoholism that led to rehab stints and relationship problems with Keith. The 27-year-old woman was reportedly at a breaking point with his drinking, telling family members a day prior to her murder that she was going to leave the then 35-year-old.  

Prosecutors also said Keith grew scared at one point when Beushausen took a pistol from his gun safe, prompting her to later hide the keys to the safe.  

Investigators alleged and the jury believed that on the night she was murdered, Beushausen knocked her out, put her in the bathtub and shot her in the head while using the shower curtain to shield himself from blood spatter.  

He then told a 911 dispatcher and responding emergency personnel that he had been sleeping when his girlfriend took her own life in the bathroom.  

Detectives found a head wound independent of the gunshot that suggested Keith had been assaulted and her death had been staged to look like suicide.  

As the investigation continued, Beushausen quit his job and moved to McAllen, Texas, where he was arrested on Oct. 18 in a shopping center parking lot by investigators from Palm Springs. 

Nearly a year later, in October 2018, he was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison for Keith’s murder.  

While Emmanuel remains missing nearly a week after the alleged kidnapping, Vincent Hughes, the Haros’ attorney, insists his clients are innocent, telling KTLA the couple has been pleading for information and updates and providing whatever information they have.

The lawyer also said law enforcement has made few attempts at searching for the baby outside searching the Haro’s Cabazon property and the locations the couple told investigators they had been to.

“They don’t care what anyone thinks about them,” Hughes added. “They just want the child to be found. They want him home.”  

KTLA’s Sara Welch contributed to this report.
