We have breaking news in the case of seven-month-old Emmanuel Harrow.

His parents, Rebecca and Jay Caro, the same couple who reported, Emmanuel missing and claimed he had been abducted, have now been arrested. Guys, oh shit, there she goes. There she goes. She's in the vehicle. They got her. She's arrested. Emmanuel was reported missing at approximately 7.47 p.m. on August 14th after Rebecca said that she had been assaulted and knocked unconscious. This supposedly happened while changing his diaper in the parking lot of the Big Five sporting goods store in Yucca, California. She said, quote, I went to grab the diaper. Someone said, Ola. And after that, I don't remember anything.

And when I woke up on the floor, Emmanuel was gone, end quote. I noticed a smell for my baby. So I wanted to change it before I walked into the store. I took him out of the car seat. And I laid him on on the chair. And I had his diapers right here. And then someone said, oh la. And I couldn't even turn in. That was this, I don't remember nothing. I got up off the floor and I didn't see my child. Someone took him from me. But from the very beginning, her story has had inconsistencies. And the police have been working to unravel what really happened to Emmanuel. As we've been reporting from the very beginning, several independent channels have had boots on the ground reporting, covering Emmanuel's

disappearance. They've been sharing what's happening in real time outside the family's home, in Cabazon, California. And today, those same sources captured, an intense scene as law enforcement moved in. The property was quickly surrounded with crime scene tape, and before long, Rebecca and Jake were seen being led away in handcuffs. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department later confirmed the arrest saying the couple was taken into custody Friday morning during an active operation at their home. Their statement reads, quote,

This morning, detectives from the sheriff's homicide detail and specialized enforcement division arrested Jake and Rebecca Harrow at their residence in Cabazon for PC 187 murder. Investigators will continue their search for seven-month-old Emmanuel Harrow, end quote. Witnesses describe the raid as dramatic and unsettling. At one point, a bobcat was brought in to smash through the Harrow's wooden vent. And after that, officers poured into the property. SWAT units and forensic vehicles were also visible as investigators combed through the scene. Wow. There we go, guys.

That's what we saw. Now everyone's just pulled up all the unmarked cars to investigate the home now. Do their, that's not it. How's it going? I saw the show. You're not recording me, are you? No, no. You're not recording me, are you?

No. Okay, no, sir, it's down. I do not want to be on the chat. No, no. That's okay. You won't be on chat. No, not at all. Do you guys?

We were here before you guys. We just wanted to come by and see the signs, and next to you know, I was like, oh, my God, you guys are coming in fast. And that's, you get everything recorded when they came in. Am I going to see it on Fox 11 tonight? Maybe. If you're okay with it. Thank you. No, thank you guys for doing what you guys do.

TikTokers, or what is it? Honestly, we're not news. We're not doing. We're just normal people and... We live in Yucaypa. We live in Yucaypa. We live like two blocks from where it all went and just kind of followed it from there. We want to adjust this for the...

We're going to be here for a little bit. I think the media is going to start popping up here in a minute. Okay. Oh, no. Is there anywhere we can't be or can be? We just want to set up a line right there. You're welcome to hang out. Great.

Okay. Awesome. Thank you. Do you watch Ahmed on the theater? We're here now. Well, I hope so. We were very cool, but he kind of blocked me out. So we'll see. We'll see. Thank you, sir. Very cool. Hey, that's okay.

That sheriff already knows Ahmed. That's crazy. He said Ahmed Bayosa's going to be here. He's a very nice guy. I was like, he is a very nice guy. You take it. I'm going to put some latest. All right, guys. There you guys go. It was only then that Rebecca and Jake were escorted out, each in handcuffs. According to the department detectives from the sheriff's homicide detail and the specialized enforcement division arrested Rebecca and Jake for Penal Code 187. In California, Penal Code 187 refers, again, to the crime of murder, specifically defining it as the unlawful killing of a human being or a fetus without malice aforethought. Malice of forethought doesn't necessarily mean someone planned the crime far in advance.

It means a person either intended to kill, intended to cause serious harm, or acted with such reckless disregard for human life that death was likely. Premeditation, on the other hand, is more specific. It means the killing was thought out or planned. So while premeditation always involves malice of forethought, not every act of malice of forethought is premeditated. At this point, investigators have not. said what specific evidence led to that charge. Of course, we're going to hopefully find out soon

and we'll be bringing that to you. But most critically, they've made it clear. The search for seven-month-old Emmanuel is still ongoing. Now, one of the biggest questions people are asking, I'm certainly asking it, is how can police charge Rebecca and Jake with murder if Emmanuel hasn't been found? In many cases like this, investigators don't necessarily need a body to pursue homicide charges. if the evidence is that strong. So what they do need is that evidence strong enough to suggest that a crime took place and that the child is no longer alive. And clearly, they have that. Over the last several days, law enforcement has brought in canine units to search around the horror property, including scent, tracking, and cadaver dogs. Those dogs are trained to detect

human remains. And if they alert it at the home, in the yard, or even inside the couple's vehicle, which this is speculation. We don't know. We haven't seen the evidence. But if that happened, that could have been a major turning point in the investigation. Police also sees the Harrow's vehicle and cell phones. Digital evidence often also plays a huge role in cases like this. Things like GPS data, deleted text messages, or internet searches can paint a clear picture of what happened. If investigators uncovered anything pointing toward foul play, that would help explain why murder charges were filed so quickly. Forensic teams have also been on site collecting items from inside the home. It's possible.

They found physical evidence. We don't know, but let's speculate. What could they have found? Blood? Biological material or something inconsistent with the story the Haros originally told. I think we've certainly seen some of those inconsistencies as the public. Even without a body, that kind of evidence can build a strong case for prosecutors. So while Emmanuel has not yet been located, the combination of canine alerts,

forensic testing, digital footprints, and inconsistencies with the parent statements may have given detectives enough to move forward with murder charges. At the end of the day, the public still does not know exactly what police uncovered. We don't know yet here at Hidden True Crime, but it is clear that investigators believe the evidence points to something much darker than an abduction.
