Speaker 1 (00:01):
Crime alert, I mean see grace breaking crime. The is
now our Jennifer Gold standing by Jennifer and Macobb.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Confession has reportedly emerged from a case that has gripped
the nation, as the father of missing seven month old
Immanuel Harrow has reportedly confessed to killing the child and
disposing of his tiny body in a trash can. The
harrowing revelation was allegedly made to a fellow inmate, an

(00:27):
undercover informant exposing the family's sinister plot. This confession directly
contradicts the fabricated story of a kidnapping that Jake Harrow's wife,
Rebecca Harrow, had spun. According to one media outlet, Jake
thirty two, initially told police he had accidentally rolled over
on the infant in bed, causing his death. This account, however,

(00:51):
was just a prelude to a far more disturbing narrative,
which was pried out by the undercover Perkins informant reportedly
planted in inside the jail. Harro's alleged new statement that
he placed his son's body in a trash can in
their home has sent a jolt through the investigation, as
Emmanuel's remains remain missing. Here's Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianca

(01:15):
at the news conference.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
This was preventable in numerous ways. There is absolutely nothing
worse than harming a baby, broken bones, injuries, life altering trauma,
and had that case been successfully handled how it should

(01:37):
have been, Emmanuel would still be with us today.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
The case began with a desperate plea from Rebecca, who
claimed on August fourteenth that she was knocked unconscious and
her son was kidnapped from a Big five sporting goods
store parking lot and Yukaipa. She told investigators she was
changing Emmanuel's diaper when an assailant attacked her. However, court
document and investigators believe the baby boy may have been

(02:03):
dead up to nine days before Rebecca's dramatic claim of
an abduction. The official timeline of the alleged murder is
now believed to be sometime between August fifth and August fourteenth.
Rebecca had also been seen at the same sporting goods
store days before the alleged abduction, reportedly asking if there

(02:26):
were exterior surveillance cameras on the building after claiming her
car was burglarized. Investigators say this proves premeditation. This grim
case is not Jake Harrow's first encounter with the justice
system over child cruelty. He has a prior felony conviction
from twenty twenty three for willful child cruelty stemming from

(02:50):
a twenty eighteen incident where his infant daughter, just ten
weeks old with a previous partner, suffered severe skull fractures
and a brain hemorrhage. The family's history is further compounded
by a devastating detail. Rebecca's own brother is serving fifty
years to life for murdering his girlfriend and staging it

(03:11):
to look like a suicide. Jake Harrow, along with his
forty one year old wife, Rebecca, was arrested in charged
with the child's murder, making a false report, and conspiracy.
If convicted, they could face life in prison without parole,
or even the death penalty. Their next court appearance is
September fourth. For more on this story and all your

Thanks Jennifer. More crime and justice news after this.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
In a calculated act of violence, a Newport Richie, Florida
woman is accused of turning her home into a chamber
of torment, allegedly dousing her sleeping husband with sulfuric acid
and barricading him in a bedroom to die in excruciating pain.
Chuan ying Yi, fifty, now face's first degree murder charges

(04:12):
after the attack left her sixty five year old husband,
Robert Hayden, with catastrophic burns that ultimately killed him. The
horrifying scene unfolded at their Slippery Rock Road home at
five oh one pm, when he herself called nine one
one admitting to the attack. Responding officers were met with
the sound of Hayden's screams from a bedroom that had

(04:33):
been meticulously secured from the outside with a wooden bar
and wire. Inside, they found him covered in extensive chemical burns.
He was immediately airlifted to Tampa General Hospital, but despite
desperate efforts by medical staff, he died from his profound
injuries three days later. Police investigators concluded the assault was

(04:57):
no impulsive act. Either. Evidence showed clear premeditation, with he
having obtained the corrosive acid and waited for her husband
to fall asleep before pouring it all over him. The
timing of the attack seems to have been deliberate, as
court records revealed. The couple, married just a year prior
in August of twenty twenty four, were embroiled in a

(05:19):
bitter divorce. A court hearing was scheduled for the very
next day, in which Hayden was seeking exclusive use of
the home. He was swiftly arrested in charged with first
degree murder and aggravated battery causing serious bodily injuries. She
is currently being held at Pasco Corrections. According to officials,
authorities had responded to prior verbal domestic disturbances at the home,

(05:44):
though no arrests were made before this final lethal incident.
And finally, who orders pepper and gets pepper spray? Well
that's what went down at a longhorned steakhouse and Cheektogua,
New York, where beef between two women turned into a
full blown chaotic scene, leaving a baby hospitalized. The juicy

(06:07):
drama kicked off when two groups, one celebrating a birthday,
were hanging out at the restaurant. A verbal spat started
between two women, and things got real spicy, real quick
when a third allegedly pulled out a can of pepper
spray and just let it rip, sending a cloud of
chaos poof over the unsuspecting diners. Witness Leopard Cleopatra spoke

(06:28):
to w IVB News for.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Not only was she getting hit and the baby she
was holding getting hit, but then that basically penetrated throughout
the whole entire restaurant.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Cop say that pepper spray hit a one year old
baby and several others, sending the little one to the
hospital with trouble breathing. The woman who allegedly used the
spray poof. She disappeared before police even arrived. But no,
they did not do a steakout to find her at
the steak joint. Police said no one at the scene
was willing to spill the beans in id who she was,
making this a real mystery. Talk about an unappetizing experience. Nancy.
