(San Bernardino Sheriff's Department) Strangers continued to hold vigil Friday near the Cabazon home of baby Emmanuel Haro, d emanding answers even after San Bernardino County sheriff's investigators arrested his parents on suspicion of murder.

Authorities said they now believe Emmanuel is dead and are still searching for his body.

Rebecca Haro stopped cooperating with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department after, while under questioning, investigators pointed out inconsistencies with the story she told about the August 14 kidnapping of baby Emmanuel Haro. She claimed that she had been assaulted and knocked unconscious by a male suspect outside a Big 5 Sporting Goods in Yucaipa, and that her infant had been kidnapped.

Sheriff's investigators conducted a search at the home of the parents of the missing baby, Emmanuel, whose mother's disappearance claim raised suspicions toward her account regarding the child's kidnapping.

No charges have been filed in the Haro case, and the mother may be telling the complete truth. The vast majority of parents who report children missing are genuine victims experiencing unimaginable trauma.

The preliminary autopsy results indicated that the cause of death was 'asphyxia due to drowning,' classifying it as a homicide according to state police.
