About this episode

The episode discusses the case of Rebecca Haro, her guilty plea in a child-abuse homicide investigation, and the acquittal of Rick Chow in a separate murder trial.

What began as a frantic search for a missing 7-month-old baby unraveled into a shocking child-abuse homicide investigation that exposed a deadly secret hidden behind a fabricated kidnapping story. Join us as we trace the case of Rebecca Haro—from her public pleas and jailhouse interview defending her husband to the guilty plea that ultimately brought the case to a close, while Emmanuel Haro's remains remain missing to this day. https://apnews.com/article/4707ec2b51b953506a1384c6d31135c2 https://people.com/mother-of-emmanuel-haro-pleads-guilty-covering-up-infants-murder-11987129 https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-05-29/rebecca-haro-mother-of-baby-emmanuel-pleads-guilty The acquittal of Rick Chow https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/01/us/south-carolina-murder-trial-cyrus-carmack-belton https://wach.com/news/local/protesters-rally-after-rick-chow-acquitted-in-2022-killing-of-cyrus-carmack-belton https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chikei-rick-chow-south-carolina-store-owner-murder-cyrus-belton/ Join our squad!
