() The search for Emmanuel Haro has reached 11 days, and the mission to find the missing baby now has police trying an old-school method.
Detectives were observed taking Haro’s father, Jake, along with them on the mission to recover the victim’s body. Haro, who was detained alongside Rebecca Haro, Emmanuel’s mother, was captured on film wearing an orange prison jumpsuit on Sunday, helping crews search for Emmanuel’s body in Moreno Valley, California.
Chris McDonough, a retired homicide detective and executive board member of the “Cold Case Foundation,” remarked to “Banfield” that Haro’s involvement in the search might ultimately establish his guilt.
“I would suspect they probably have some type of digital footprint and or forensic evidence from some of the search warrants they did,” he said.
“And of course, they’re looking for malice, right? And in California, malice is a mental state of mind in which a person intends to kill somebody. So, this may work to his disadvantage if he is engaging in that tactic, ‘I’m going to take him out there and waste some time.’ But the prosecutor may use that against him to demonstrate that he had specific intent to kill his child.”
Haro probably made deal with the authorities: Former detective
McDonough suspects Jake Haro might know where Emmanuel is, which would clarify why detectives removed him from jail to aid in the search. He notes that the detective near Haro has his arms crossed, while Haro is leaning to the side.
“They’ve got all those resources there, so they must have had something in that interview room that prompted them to take him out of the county jail and bring him there.”
Authorities with Haro concentrated on a specific section of the freeway along the San Bernardino riverside. McDonough wonders if this might also lead to discovering Emmanuel.
“So maybe they were thinking, if we take him down here, he’s going to bring us back to the reenactment of, potentially, how this child got to that area,” he said.
Haro might turn on his wife: Former detective
McDonough feels Haro might turn on his wife or place the blame on her for Emmanuel’s disappearance.
Why? In Haro’s past case where he was accused of child cruelty, he blamed his significant other, as well.
“So this may be his same play,” McDonough said. “And so it’s going to be a he said, she said, and they’re going to let the defense fight it out.”
