NURSING STUDENT HOLLY BOBO GOES INTO THE WOODS AND VANISHES: KILLER WALKS FREE?

A mother and father both arrested on Friday, August 22 from their Cabazon, California home and booked in the Riverside County jail without bail. Father Jake Haro, 32 and Mother Rebecca Haro, 41, were charged with murder and making a false report in the disappearance of their 7-month-old son Emmanuel Haro. Baby Emmanuel was reported missing Thursday, August 14 around 7:47pm and was last seen wearing black nike onesie. Jake Haro has a public defender who enters a "not guilty" plea for him at the arraignment and Rebecca Haro's court appointed private counsel, Jeff Moore, enters a plea of 'Not Guilty" for her as well. Moore, from the firm Blumenthal and Moore, previously represented Louise and David Turpin - well publicized trial of the parents who were sentenced to life in prison for abusing their 13 children. Moore gained attention as the attorney for this high-profile child abuse case, involving David and Louise Turpin. The Turpin's imprisoned and abused their 13 children, including dependent adults, for years. Jake and Rebecca Haro were brought in separate doors through opposite sides of the courtroom. The couple did not appear to look at each other, Jake Haro kept his eyes on the judge and Rebecca Haro was kept out of direct view by her private attorney appointed by the court. After less than 10 minutes of the hearing, the Haro's were taken back to their jail cells where they will sit until September 16 for their "Felony Settlement Conference", commonly called the "pre-trial hearing". Jake and Rebecca Haro's arraignment is not being streamed but cameras are in the courtroom.

Young mom, Sara Ebersole, vanishes without a trace and her family is still searching for answers. On March 31, 2023, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office post a release about Sara’s disappearance. According to the post, Sara was captured on security footage on March 2, 2023, at around 10:00 p.m., in the area of the Circle K gas station located at 17980 N Highway 441 in Reddick, Florida.
