RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KABC) -- San Bernardino and Riverside county officials discussed the presumed death of baby Emmanuel Haro one day after his parents were charged with murder, saying they believe he was abused over time.
Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin, along with Sheriff Chad Bianco and San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus and others, provided details of their investigation during a news conference Wednesday.
Authorities have not recovered the 7-month-old's body, but Hestrin said they have a "strong indication" of where his remains are located. They also believe that Emmanuel was abused over a period of time by his parents and eventually succumbed to those injuries.
"It's appropriate to have a press conference, because it was the defendants in this case that had a press conference first," Hestrin said. "They did so in order to tell the public, the media and ultimately law enforcement that their child had been kidnapped - when in fact that's not what occurred."
