Prosecutors ask public's 'patience' in release of details about Cabazon baby Pg 02

September 04-September 10, 2025

Couple accused in death of baby boy due back in court

By City News Service

ACabazoncouple accused in the death of their 7-monthold toddler, now missing for three weeks, were due back in court Thursday for arraignment on murder and other charges.

Jake Mitchell Haro, 32, and Rebecca Rene Haro, 41, were arrested last month following a multi-agency investigation into the disappearance of baby Emmanuel.

Along with murder, both are charged with filing a false police report.

They made their initial joint court appearance on Aug. 26, when Riverside County Superior Court Judge Gary Polk appointed them a public defender and scheduled their arraignment for Sept. 4 at the Riverside Hall of Justice.

Each defendant is being held in lieu of $1 million bail — Jake Haro at the

Smith Correctional Facility in Banning, his wife at the Robert Presley Jail in Riverside.

Last week, the District Attorney's Office appealed for "patience" in release of details tied to the case.

"We understand how deeply the community and media care about baby Emmanuel and are eager for information," the DA's office stated. "However, there has been a significant amount of misinformation circulating in the media and on social media, which can be confusing and frustrating for everyone. Spreading false information or rushing to conclusions can unintentionally hinder the investigation and impact court proceedings."

District Attorney Mike Hestrin said in a news briefing on Aug. 27 it was being "abused over time"

that caused the baby's death.

"We believe Emmanuel was severely abused ... and because of the abuse, he succumbed to those injuries," he said.

The victim's body has not been located.

The couple were arrested on Aug. 22 following a San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department investigation.

In a jailhouse interview with one news outlet, Jake Haro denied any involvement in the infant's vanishing, insisting he was cooperating with investigators.

"There was forensic data from the crime scene," San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said last week. "That's how we learned the jurisdiction where this crime occurred (Riverside County). Forensically, there were a number of things we

were able to prove up."

He did not disclose specifics.

Hestrin said the tot's death was preventable, blaming a failure in the criminal justice system that enabled Jake Haro to remain free on probation after pleading guilty in a prior child abuse case involving his ex-wife and another infant, Carolina.

In 2023, Haro admitted a child cruelty charge, but made his plea directly to the court, avoiding negotiations with prosecutors. Hestrin said the prosecution had wanted prison for the defendant's extensive abuse of the girl, which resulted in multiple broken ribs, a fractured skull and a brain hemorrhage, leaving her permanently bed-ridden.

"It was an outrageous

Scamsinvolvingfalse claimsformedical equipment are spreading across California, according to experts in Medicare fraud.

Sometimesscammers offer free equipment in exchange for your Medicare number, even if you do not need it. They bill Medicare and potentially get paid.

Carolina Oehler, program specialist for the Kern County Department of Aging and Adult Services, said it not only drains money from the Medicare program, people can be denied the equipment in the future.

"When they actually need the device and the doctor orders it, the supplier is going to try to bill Medicare," Oehler explained. "Medicare is going to deny the claim, because there's already a claim for the same thing that was billed."

Oehler noted some people have received multiple boxes of braces they never requested, out of the blue.

"You should send the box back, contact your doctor to ask them if they prescribed the item and then contact Medicare to make sure that claims were not submitted for items that were not ordered by your doctor," Oehler outlined.

Medicare can then flag the claim for fraud and remove it from your record. Help for this sort of issue is available via the Senior Medicare Patrol on the website of the nonprofit California Health Advocates, or you can call 1-800-Medicare.

Sometimes the scammer will call or send a postcard or flyer offering incentives such as free cleaning, cooking, protein milkshakes, medical equipment, transportation or anything to get people to give up their Medicare number. Some even set up storefronts and pay doctors kickbacks to fabricate orders for medical equipment.

Prosecutors ask public's 'patience' in release of details about Cabazon baby

By City News Service

RiversideCounty prosecutorsFriday asked for the public's "patience" until there's further disclosure of details regarding a 7-month-old Cabazon toddler believed killed by his parents, saying the rush to judgment has led to a "significant amount of misinformation" circulating via social media and other channels.

"Please know that we are committed to providing accurate information," according to a District Attorney's Office statement released Friday afternoon. "Please understand we are bound by legal and ethical responsibilities that prevent us from sharing detailed case information publicly."

The agency's statement came two days after a formal news briefing regarding the case of baby Emmanuel Haro. His parents, 32-yearold Jake Mitchell Haro and 41-year-old Rebecca Rene Haro, have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the disappearance.

They made their initial joint court appearance Aug. 26 and were due back in court Thursday for formal arraignment.

Ahead of, during and after this week's news conference, speculation regarding how the toddler died, where his remains might have been dumped — even unconfirmed sightings of him alive — have persisted.

Sheriff Chad Bianco complained that "keyboard warriors" were pumping the rumor mill.

"We understand how deeply the community and media care about baby Emmanuel and are eager for information," the DA's office stated. "However, there has been a significant amount of misinformation circulating in the media and on social media, which can be confusing and frustrating for everyone."

"We ask for your patience ... and to trust the facts will be shared through appropriate official updates in due time," the office said.

"Spreading false information or rushing to conclusions can unintentionally hinder the investigation and impact court proceedings."

District Attorney Mike Hestrin said Aug. 27 it was the result of being "abused over time" that caused the baby's death.

"We believe Emmanuel was severely abused ... and because of the abuse, he succumbed to those injuries," he said.

The victim's body has yet to be located, but Hestrin noted that investigators "have a pretty strong indication of where the remains of the baby are." The search is ongoing.

The couple were arrested last week following a San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department investigation.

Each defendant is being held without bail — Jake Haro at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning, his wife at the Robert Presley Jail in Riverside.

"There were inconsistencies in Rebecca's statements," San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus told reporters, explaining why no statewide Amber Alert was

damage left her permanently bed-ridden, he said.

"The judge decided that Mr. Haro deserved an extra break and gave him (four years') probation and basically 180 days of work release, which ends up being like community service," the county's top prosecutor said.

The judge, on assignment from San Bernardino County, was not named in the court register online.

"It was an outrageous error in judgment by this judge," Hestrin said. "If that judge had done his job, Emmanuel would be alive today."

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department personnel were examining potential body dump sites along the Moreno Valley (60) Freeway in the Badlands at the end of last week, without success.

issued when Emmanuel was first reported missing.

"There was forensic data from the crime scene," he said. "That's how we learned the jurisdiction where this crime occurred (Riverside County). Forensically, there were a number of things we were able to prove up."

He did not disclose specifics, saying while no one can pinpoint where the tot's remains are now, "there's some level of cooperation from the defendants."

Hestrin said the tot's death was preventable, blaming a failure in the criminal justice system that enabled Jake Haro to remain free on probation after pleading guilty in a prior child abuse case involving his ex-wife and another infant, Carolina.

In that case, Haro admitted a child cruelty charge in 2023, but made his plea directly to the court, avoiding negotiations with prosecutors. Hestrin said the prosecution wanted prison for the defendant's extensive abuse of the girl, which resulted in multiple broken ribs, a fractured skull and a brain hemorrhage. The 2018

Emmanuel was reported missing in the 34000 block of Yucaipa Boulevard in Yucaipa on the evening of Aug. 14.

Rebecca Haro told deputies she'd been assaulted while standing near her vehicle, changing Emmanuel's diaper outside a Big 5 store. The defendant suggested she was knocked out, and that the assailant fled with the tot.

On Aug. 18, San Bernardino County sheriff's detectives served search warrants at the Haro home with the help of K9 units, and "a large amount of surveillance video" was obtained from areas of interest for review, according to the agency.

Jake Haro was arrested last year in Banning and charged with illegal possession of a loaded firearm, as well as probation violations. That case has not been resolved.

Court documents also revealed that Isabel Rebecca Gonzalez, Haro's former spouse, filed a domestic violence restraining order against him with a request to protect the couple's son Eli. Rebecca Haro has no documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.

Monrovia Old Town report: Donut underestimate our MPD!

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

If you haven’t registered for the Fountain to the Falls 10k race, you are either my spirit animal or you’re a procrastinator. The last day to register is Friday. The race starts bright and early on Saturday with a check-in time of 6 a.m. and a start time of 7 a.m. I will be cheers-ing y’all on from Sena with a mimosa. Whether you run or walk it, stretch, hydrate and have fun. I say have fun, because I cannot believe people actually do this for fun, so I am trying to be supportive. I’d like to sign up for Fountain to Foothill. If anyone wants to join, hit me up. If you happen to drive through our Monrovia Chik-fil-A, thank them for sponsoring the event. Are you guys following our Monrovia Police Department on social media? If you aren’t, you

are missing one heck of a show. Not only is it informative, it’s also downright comical. Huge props to their social media person in charge of posting content. You are quite skilled in the comedies of life and I’m here for it. Keep up the good fight. MPD, you are all awesome! If you haven’t seen their social media, maybe you saw Officer Lee, featured on ABC7 News, as he channeled his inner Carl Lewis and chased down a bike thief. As a former track and field enthusiast, he made it look easy. Not to me … it did not look easy to me at all. Malibu PD is jelly, as their guys started chasing after a car thief on foot last week. They got halfway up the hillside then passed the baton to their fellow police officers in cars. Sorry, Malibu. Officer Lee is spoken for by all of us Monrovians.

Madres Brunch officially is open for, you guessed it, brunch! They are located at 120 E. Lemon Ave., formerly known as Café on Lemon. They are open from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and have seven other locations. Their menu has some interesting and new-to-Monrovia options, like lomo salteado chilaquiles and pillow poached eggs (poached eggs, mashed potatoes with mushrooms, heavy cream, bacon and parmesan cheese). They also have Duvalin waffles, which is a chocolate and Nutella waffle served with Neapolitan ice cream. Maybe you would like to try a mimosa cold brew flight or maperol margarita. Sweet or savory, they’ve got you covered. Let’s welcome this new restaurant to Old Town. Remember to support our local businesses. See you there!

I am so happy to welcome the Mercantile Collective, by the Female Maker Market, to Old Town. The Mercantile Collective is located at 128 E. Lemon, and it is a super

cute boutique. Stop in to shop a variety of casual women’s clothing, hats, jewelry and other accessories. There are two other locations: one in Claremont and one in Glendora. I think this boutique is going to do very well in our town. I am thrilled they have joined our Old Town business community. Please stop in and show them some Monrovia love and support!

OC Cares: Master Plan for Aging report now available

The County of Orange (County) has finalized the OC Cares: Master Plan for Aging (OC MPA), a comprehensive five-year plan guided by California’s Master Plan for Aging and its Five Bold Goals. The OC MPA highlights current county programs and resources

that service older adults and builds upon existing county infrastructure. The three priority initiatives designed to create meaningful, sustainable change at the local level are: (1) Expanding affordable, supportive, and accessible housing options to ensure older adults can age in place, while addressing financial instability and exploring innovative housing models; (2) Creating a comprehensive information and resource campaign to connect older adults and caregivers with vital programs and services, leveraging tools such as OC Navigator and enhancing community resource fairs across all supervisorial districts; (3)Strengthening wholeperson care by expanding Care Coordination data platforms, implementing data integration, reducing service barriers while ensuring efficient, tailored support for our vulnerable older adults. Statewide, the number of adults aged 60 and older is projected to increase from 16 percent in 2010 to 25 percent (10.8 million residents) by 2030. Orange County faces an even more pronounced demographic shift for adults 65 years and older. By 2060, its aging population is projected to be 36%, which will be higher than the projected state rate of 33%.

Riverside County Animal Services launches preadoption program

The Riverside County Department of Animal Services (RCDAS) is introducing a new way for dog lovers to pre-adopt their future best friend through the DIBS for Dogs program. Starting this month, visitors to RCDAS shelters can place “DIBS” on dogs that are still on their legally required stray hold period, ensuring that when the hold ends, if their family hasn’t reclaimed them, the dog goes home with an adopter the very same day. How DIBS works: visit a shelter; spot a dog on stray hold you want to call DIBS on; staff will verify eligibility, help you

complete the process, and let you know when you can pick up your pet; return on the available date and head home with your new family member. The DIBS program began Tuesday at all four RCDAS shelter locations. Visit www.rcdas.org for hours, addresses, and to view adoptable pets.

City of Riverside

Museum of Riverside reopens Heritage House with new exhibition

The Museum of Riverside’s Heritage House will reopen after its summer break on Friday, with a new fence, fresh paint here and there, and a look back at Victorian medical practices with the exhibition “Quackery & Cures in the Victorian Age.” The Museum of Riverside’s newest exhibition explores the nonsense born out of the invention of confusing new medicines to address the pain of incurable diseases. The exhibition examines a period that saw an explosion of scientific and industrial progress that led to an increase in population and, perhaps not coincidentally, an increase in medical maladies. Amid all this change, the line between cures and quackery was blurred. Visitors can delve into the larger landscape of Victorian life, in sickness and in health. Features include nineteenthcentury medicine, photographs, medical textbooks, and a set of lancets used for bloodletting. Diving deeper into this history, a series of events will take place this fall. The exhibition will be on view during regular house tours Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Friday through Nov. 23. It’s recommended to book your tour in advance. For more information and to keep up to date on all Museum of Riverside activities visit https:// linktr.ee/museumofriverside.

Anti-billionaire rallies, Wilmington parade mark Labor Day

By City News Service

Rallieswereheld throughoutLos Angeles County on Monday as part of the nationwide Labor Day effort billed by organizers as "stop the billionaire takeover," while the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Labor Coalition 46th annual Solidarity Parade and Picnic Rally took place in Wilmington.

The rallies were organized by May Day Strong, a partnership of various labor, political and environmental organizations that bills itself as "working people rising up to stop the billionaire takeover — not just through the ballot box or the courts, but through building a bigger and stronger movement."

May Day Strong is calling for:

-- Protecting and defending "Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people";

-- "Fully funded schools, and health care and housing for all";

-- "Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, and all our communities"; and

-- "Invest in people not wars."

White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told City News Service that "no one has done more for working men and women than President Trump. President Trump believes that American workers are the heart and soul of our economy, which is why he's championed an agenda that always puts them first — from signing the largest middle-class tax cuts in history to securing nearly $10 trillion in new investments to create high-paying jobs across our country. Under President Trump's leadership, Republicans are once again the proud party of the American worker."

Monday's events included The People's Block Party, "a

high-energy, communitycentered event that's equal parts festival and movement" from 4:30-7 p.m. at 1071 Elysian Park Drive, organizers said. The party featured amplified sound, celebrity guests, live DJs, local artists, public servant speakers, "mutual aid, local food, healing, joy, resistance, and rhythm."

Workers over Billionaires rallies were planned for:

-- Claremont, intersection of Foothill Boulevard and North Indian Hill Boulevard, 10-11:30 a.m.;

-- Culver City City Hall, 4-5:30 p.m.;

-- Echo Park, 751 Echo Park Ave., 10 a.m.-noon;

-- Lakewood, 5050 Clark Ave., 8-10 a.m.;

-- Long Beach City Hall, 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m.;

-- Long Beach, Ocean Boulevard between Temple and Loma avenues, 10 a.m.noon;

-- Montebello, 361 E Lincoln Ave., noon-2:30 p.m.;

-- Northridge, The Village at Northridge, 9222 Corbin Ave., 10 a.m.-noon;

-- Palmdale, intersection of 10th Street West and Rancho Vista Boulevard, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.;

-- Pasadena City Hall, 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.;

-- San Pedro, near Maritime Museum, East Sixth Street and Harbor Boulevard, noon-1:30 p.m.;

-- Sunset Beach, Warner Avenue & Pacific Coast Highway, 10 a.m.-noon.

The Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Labor Coalition 46th annual Solidarity Parade and Picnic Rally had the theme "Labor Unions Fighting for a Better Tomorrow." What organizers billed as one of the nation's largest Labor Day parades stepped off Monday morning at the intersection of Broad Avenue and E Street, then headed west on E Street to Avalon Boulevard, north on Avalon Boulevard to M Street, and concluded at Banning Park, where a picnic and rally were held with labor guest speakers and an introduction of elected officials.

The park also hosted a kids' zone with face painting, popcorn, cotton candy, a puppet show and book giveaway, along with 40 vendor booths of various unions and labor organizations. The picnic included music and dancing on the main stage.

Organizers expected "a couple thousand participants," Kristal Romero, the press secretary of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, told CNS. Participants included former LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who is

for governor.

Elected officials and candidates were not allowed to campaign, give speeches or distribute campaign materials at the parade or rally, according to the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Labor Coalition, which organizes the parade and rally.

In his Labor Day proclamation, President Donald Trump wrote, "From the earliest days of our American story, our Nation's future has been molded by the skill, determination, and unwavering resilience of the American worker.

"From the earliest settlers, who laid the foundations of a new nation to the innovators who built our railroads, steel mills and skyscrapers, America's greatness has always rested in the strength of its workforce. This Labor Day, we honor the proud legacy of

America's workforce — and we pay tribute to the unbreakable spirit that keeps it strong nearly 250 years later."

Labor Day, the yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the nation's strength, prosperity and well-being, was first celebrated on Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City.

In 1887, Oregon became the first state to formally recognize Labor Day. By 1894, 31 of the then-44 states had made Labor Day a holiday when Congress passed a bill designating the first Monday in September a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and territories.

Workers Rally in Riverside County

Protesters participated in several "Workers Over Billionaires" demonstrations nationwide Monday, including one in Riverside County, as part of

a Labor Day effort organized by unions and other groups.

"The billionaires continue to wage a cruel war on working people, with their cronies in the administration, ICE and law enforcement backing up their attacks," organizers said. "This Labor Day, we will continue to stand strong, fighting for public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, shared prosperity over corporate politics.

"Working people built this nation and we know how to take care of each other. We won't back down -- we will never stop fighting for our families and the rights and freedoms that ensure access to opportunity and a better life for all Americans. The billionaires time is up."

The Riverside rally occurred 6-8 p.m. at Market Street and University Avenue.

Billia A519045

Billia’s journey hasn’t been easy—she came to the shelter after her family had to evacuate from the Eaton Fire.

Her circle of trusted friends continues to grow, and with each new bond, her sweet and loving personality shines. Once Billia knows you’re in her corner, she’s all in. She bonds deeply with her people and is fiercely loyal to those she trusts.

But don’t be fooled by her cautious nature; she’s also got a goofy, playful side. Billia will thrive in an experienced home where she can feel safe and supported. A quieter environment will help her continue to grow in confidence. Having an ample supply of treats and stuffed toys wouldn’t hurt, either.

Could you be the one to give Billia the stability, love, and joy she’s been waiting for? Come meet her—you’ll see just how special she really is.

Annie A513165

Meet Annie, a 2-year-old Boxer who came to Pasadena Humane after their owner unfortunately could no longer care for her. Since July, she has been on the lookout for her forever family. Annie may find the shelter a little overwhelming, but her affectionate personality still shines through. At her happiest, she leans in for pets, wiggles with joy when she sees a familiar face, and even loves splashing in the kiddie pool. She’s curious and eager to explore on walks, though she can get a bit anxious in noisy or crowded spots. In a calmer environment, Annie relaxes, takes in the world around her at her own pace, and happily soaks up as much attention as possible. This sweet girl is treat-motivated (she takes them so politely!) and knows how to sit. Annie may need a little patience to build trust, but once she feels safe, her loving nature blossoms. Annie would thrive in a calm, predictable home with a kind and patient adopter who would help her decompress. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet companion, Annie is ready to meet you!

Newsom launches task force to clear homeless encampments in LA, other cities

By City News Service

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday announced a new statewide task force that will prioritize clearing homeless encampments and expanding services in California's 10 largest cities, including Los Angeles.

The State Action for Facilitation on Encampments, or SAFE Task Force, will coordinate expertise and programs across state agencies to address encampments. The goal is to work with local governments to move people from the streets into temporary shelter and ultimately permanent housing, according to the governor's office.

"California has put in place a strong, comprehensive strategy for fighting the national homelessness and housing crises — and is outperforming the nation as a result in turning this issue around," Newsom said in a statement.

"No one should live in a dangerous or unsanitary encampment, and we will continue our ongoing work to ensure that everyone has

a safe place to call home," he added.

The task force will begin operations within 30 days in areas such as Los Angeles, San Diego, Long Beach and Anaheim.

Newsom has issued multiple directives aimed at addressing encampments and holding local governments accountable.

In 2024, following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Grants Pass v. Johnson, which upheld local laws banning camping on public property, Newsom signed an executive order to clear encampments using a so-called "state-tested model."

The governor previously said he would rescind state funding for local municipalities that do not remove homeless encampments. Using an online tool, accountability.ca.gov, residents can comb through data points to track progress on homelessness, housing and behavior health.

Meanwhile, California voters approved Proposition 1 in March 2024, authoriz-

ing $6.4 billion in bonds to expand mental health and addiction services, build permanent supportive housing and help homeless veterans.

Newsom also launched the Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Court program, designed to place people with untreated schizophrenia and other severe mental illnesses into housing and treatment. Initially expected to start in July 2022, CARE Court launched in October 2023 in seven counties after concerns about the timeline to create a new legal structure.

The SAFE Task Force is expected to implement and advance these initiatives with the following agencies:

-- California Office of Emergency will be responsible for logistical coordination and procurement;

-- Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency will oversee housing and homeless grants;

-- California Interagency Council on Homelessness will offer guidance to local governments, coordinate

supportive services, and facilitate cooperation with local agencies;

-- California Health and Human Services will support and monitor locally-provided health care and behavior health support, as well as treatments funded by Prop 1;

-- California Highway Patrol will provide support during encampment operations and monitor cleared areas; and

-- California State Transportation Agency

will be directly responsible for clearing encampments located on state rights-ofways.

According to Newsom's office, this week Caltrans reached an agreement with San Francisco that improves coordination with addressing encampments on state right-of-ways.

In July, a similar agreement was made with San Diego elected officials.

Between 2014 and 2019, unsheltered homelessness in California increased

by approximately 37,000 people.

Last year, while homelessness increased nationally by more than 18%, California limited its overall increase to 3%, a lower rate compared to 40 other states.

Newsom's office touted the state held the growth of unsheltered homelessness to just 0.45% compared to a national increase of nearly 7%. Florida, Texas, New York and Illinois experienced a larger homelessness increase.

Pasadena author delves into one of California’s last public hangings

By May S. Ruiz mayrchu56@gmailcom

Publicexecutions aren’t exactly pleasant subjects to write a book about. But for M.G. Rawls, a retired Pasadena lawyer and author of the young adult fantasy trilogy “The Sorts of Pasadena Hollow,” it was a compelling topic that had captivated her for decades. Rawls’s great-great-grandfather, James Madison Anderson, was the El Dorado County sheriff who carried out one of the last public hangings in California towards the end of the 1880s. For years, the thought that an injustice might have been done weighed heavily on him.

In her book “Hanging Justice,” scheduled to publish in October, Rawls delves into this event and gives readers an intimate look at the victim, the killers, the crime, and the hangings. She chronicles the details of the case and then reaches her own conclusions about this long-forgotten and rarely discussed episode in Placerville’s past. She will give an author book talk sponsored by the El Dorado Historical Society on Friday, Oct. 17 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Morning Star Lodge (also known as the Odd Fellows Lodge) in Placerville.

Rawls’s grandmother had previously written about this event; but she was determined to find out more. She scoured through hundreds of old newspapers online and did extensive research at the Huntington Library in San Marino, the El Dorado Historical Society, the Center for Sacramento History, and the California State Archives. She traveled to Auburn, New Hampshire, to look at family documents and photos that her aunt and uncle have meticulously

preserved.

By email, Rawls talks about what made her author “Hanging Justice,” what she learned from her exhaustive investigation, and the reader's takeaway.

“In 1970, my grandmother wrote a community college paper about the last hangings in El Dorado County in 1888 and 1889 for which she got a B+,” recounts Rawls. “She’d played with a small model clipper ship called the Mountain Queen, crafted by two of the three hanged men while they were in jail. Sailors by trade, the two men made the miniature ship for her grandfather, my greatgreat-grandfather, Sheriff James Madison Anderson. It was their way of thanking him for taking care of them while their appeals were pending. They looked up to him like a father, yet he would be the one to hang them. My grandmother gave me the Mountain Queen, and I display it on a table in our living room as a relic of the event.”

It would take a while, though, before Rawls started writing the book. She discloses, “I’d had the story in my head for years, as I’m guessing many writers do, but didn’t start in earnest until about four years ago, just after I’d finished writing the third book in a young adult fiction shape-shifting trilogy – a series which combined my love for the local animals with California history. It was a natural transition for me since I love history and had experience doing research with my fiction books.”

Asked if the event haunted her family, Rawls replies, “I know that Sheriff Anderson and Marcus Bennett were emotion-

ally torn about the executions of two of the men. Both felt that these men should have received a life sentence instead of death. Other than that, except for my grandmother, who was probably more intrigued than haunted, I don’t know what the rest of my family thought. But for the model clipper ship and my grandmother’s college paper, it is doubtful this story would have survived.”

In the course of her investigation, Rawls learned a few things that she hadn’t previously known and unearthed some personally meaningful finds.

“I knew that my greatgreat-grandfather, James Madison Anderson, was sheriff of El Dorado County from 1886 to 1890, so I was aware that he was generally in charge of the men,” states Rawls. “Still, I didn’t fully understand his specific role in the hangings until I read the contemporary newspaper accounts. Furthermore, until I started researching, I didn’t grasp that it was my great-uncle, Marcus Percival Bennett, Sheriff Anderson’s son-inlaw, who was the district attorney prosecuting the case. I can only imagine the discussions that the two men must have had over the trial and hangings.”

“For me, there were many surprising discoveries,” Rawls continues. “I learned that the ‘victim,’ farmer and rancher John Lowell, was hated by many, and there were probably dozens who wanted to see him dead. But of course, you take your victim as you find him. I also learned that the State of California keeps all the files in death penalty cases and that anyone can access them in person

through the California State Archives.”

This book isn’t your everyday read but Rawls would like to think that there’s valuable takeaway for someone who buys and peruses it.

“‘Hanging Justice’ lays bare the factual and legal groundwork for what happened,” Rawls describes. “But I hope the book also allows the reader to reach their own conclusions as to whether justice was rendered by the hangings. Personally, I found the

victim’s own trial for murder several years earlier and the legal issues surrounding two of the men’s appeals fascinating. But then I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to history.”

“Family stories worth keeping can be very fragile and will disappear if not written down,” pronounces Rawls. “The process of saving them can be both unifying and rewarding.

In my case, despite the dark topic, this story has brought me together with cousins and friends I didn’t

know I had, including the townspeople of Placerville. So I would urge readers to pursue their own family stories.”

During her countless trips to Placerville, Rawls learned that residents there today didn’t know about this particular event. As she worked on her book, she made it her mission to uncover all the documented facts so she could retell the story of what transpired over a century ago. It is a significant piece in their community’s history.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING MONROVIA CITY COUNCIL 415 SOUTH IVY AVENUE MONROVIA, CA 91016

ORDINANCE NO. 2025-09

PROJECT TITLE: Ordinance No. 2025-09, an amendment to Title 17 (Zoning Code) of the Monrovia Municipal Code; adding Chapter 17.38 (“Density Bonus”) and Section 17.52.380 (Affordable Housing Agreement) to the Monrovia Municipal Code; and deleting Section 17.44.020 from the Monrovia Municipal Code.

APPLICANT: City of Monrovia

HEARING DATE AND TIME: Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible.

HEARING LOCATION: Monrovia City Hall (Council Chambers), 415 S. Ivy Avenue, Monrovia, California

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Monrovia is proposing an ordinance to establish new regulations and procedures for housing development projects of five (5) or more units, consistent with California State Density Bonus Law. Ordinance No. 2025-09 introduces Chapter 17.38 and Section 17.52.380 to the Monrovia Municipal Code and amends related sections to clarify how eligible housing developments may obtain additional density, concessions, waivers, and parking reductions when affordable units are included. The intent of the ordinance is to facilitate the production of affordable housing by providing streamlined, transparent, and legally compliant incentives to qualifying projects.

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the City’s local CEQA Guidelines, City Staff determined that there is no potential for a significant environmental effect directly related to the adoption of Ordinance No. 2025-09. This Ordinance implements Program 1.3, in part, of the 6th Cycle Housing Element. An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was adopted for, and analyzed the impacts of, the Housing Element and its Programs. Adopting this Density Bonus Ordinance is within the scope of that IS/MND and would not result in a new substantial change or introduce new information of substantial importance that was not previously considered in the IS/MND. This Ordinance is therefore exempt from further environmental analysis pursuant to California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 15162(a); therefore, no further action is required under CEQA.

PROJECT LOCATION: Citywide

PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW: On August 13, 2025, the Monrovia Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Ordinance at a public hearing. At the close of the hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2025-0002 recommending approval of Ordinance No. 2025-09 to the City Council.

Project Description: The Rubio Village Mixed-Use Project (Project) would develop 3 buildings consisting of 225 multi-family residential units and approximately 13,449 square feet (SF) of commercial uses on an approximately 2.9 acre site. The Project would construct a total of 306,793 SF with 191,453 SF of residential uses (including amenities), 13,449 SF of commercial uses, and 101,891 SF of above-ground parking. Building A would be located north of the Rubio Wash, fronting East Live Oak Street. Building B would be located south of the Rubio Wash fronting Pine Street. Building C would be south of the Rubio Wash fronting South San Gabriel Boulevard. Building A would be a six-story building with 206 residential units, amenity spaces, two retail spaces, two restaurant spaces, and vehicle parking within two subterranean levels, the ground floor, and the second floor. Building B would be a two-story building with 3 threebedroom townhouses. Building C would be a four-story building with 16 one-bedroom residential units and a restaurant space. Project approval would require an Amendment to Plan Development Overlay, Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Development Agreement, Precise Plan of Design, Master Sign Program, Public Art, Tree Removal Permit, Grading and Building Permits, and CEQA Clearance.

Environmental Determination: The City has prepared an Initial Study to determine the proposed project’s potential impact on the environment.

Lawyers to offer free legal advice at Feldheym Library in San Bernardino

By Staff

TheCityofSan BernardinoPublic Library has partnered with the Inland Counties Legal Services (ICLS) to offer free legal services to library patrons at the Norman F. Feldheym Central Library. The program, called Lawyers in the Library, will launch on Sept. 9 from 1 to 5 p.m.

Lawyers in the Library will provide assistance with legal issues including consumer law, housing, public benefits, elder law, simple estate planning, and expungements. If necessary, participating attorneys will also be able to refer community members to outside resources for other legal related questions.

“The reality is that most Californians don’t get help with the civil legal issues they’re facing,” said ICLS Executive Director Tessie

Solorzano. “By bringing lawyers to libraries, we can help neighbors navigate tough situations and assert their rights, whether they’re facing an eviction, a consumer debt lawsuit, or other legal issue.”

Unlike criminal cases, civil cases do not have guaranteed access to an attorney. Instead, residents who cannot afford or access a lawyer are often left to face their issues alone.

With the Lawyers in the Library program, legal aid organizations and libraries collaborate to ensure justice doesn’t depend on a person’s ability to pay.

“San Bernardino’s Libraries provide so many more resources for our residents than just a place to check out books,” said Ed Erjavek, Library Director for San Bernardino Public

Library. “We are very pleased for this collaboration with ICLS as another benefit for our patrons and community,”

Inland Counties Legal Services is a nonprofit that provides civil legal services to Riverside and San Bernardino County residents in need to help break down barriers that prevent people from securing legal assistance. ICLS started its Lawyers in the Library program in Riverside County in 2021.

“The Lawyers in the Library program has been extremely popular among residents in Riverside County, and we are proud to expand these services to San Bernardino Library patrons,” added Solorzano.

Attorneys will be on hand the second Tuesday of every month from 1 to

CHP: 1 victim hospitalized after crash that killed rider, horses

By City News Service

One of two women struck by a sedan on Highway 371 in Anza while riding horses remained under intensive care Tuesday, while an investigation continued into the crash that killed her friend and their steeds.

The victim, identified only as a 34-year-old Temecula resident, was hit just after 9 p.m. Sunday on the eastbound 371, near Bailiff Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Her riding partner, 48-year-old Monique Morton of Anza, was killed in the

crash.

The survivor suffered major injuries and was last reported in stable but serious condition at a regional trauma center.

CHP Officer Ricardo Palomera said that a 70-yearold woman at the wheel of a 2016 Hyundai four-door sedan was traveling at an unconfirmed speed on the two-lane highway when she plowed into the two horses and their riders.

Riverside County Fire Department crews reached the location within 20

minutes and pronounced Morton dead at the scene. The other victim was airlifted to the hospital.

The motorist, who apparently was not injured, was detained for questioning but was not arrested.

"At this time, alcohol or drugs do not appear to have played a part in the crash," Palomera said.

It was unclear whether the equines died from the impact, or were humanely euthanized on the highway due to their injuries.

The corridor was partially shut down until the predawn hours Monday while a preliminary investi-

Tgation was conducted.

Anyone with information relevant to the investi-

gation was asked to contact the Beaumont CHP office at 951-846-5321.

Menifee police officer accused of sexual assaults back in court

By City News Service

Due to changes in his defense team, arraignment was postponed Tuesday for a Menifee policeman accused of sexually assaulting two women, including a domestic violence victim, while on and off duty.

Juan Jose Pesina Jr., 32, of Murrieta was arrested last month following a two-week investigation by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department's Special Victims Unit.

Pesina is charged with forcible rape, felony sexual battery, attempted forcible sodomy, first-degree burglary, forced oral copulation, attempted forced oral copulation and two counts of assault with intent to commit rape, as well as sentence-enhancing allegations of perpetrating sexual offenses during a burglary.

His formal arraignment had been set for Tuesday

morning, but during the hearing, Superior Court Judge Judith Clark was informed of a change in defense counsel and other matters that prompted a postponement of the hearing to Sept. 29 at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta. The defense team also requested a bail review conference on the same date.

Pesina is being held without bail hold at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning.

He's on unpaid administrative leave from the Menifee Police Department.

The agency released a statement soon after his arrest, saying its Professional Standards Unit had received a complaint from a woman on July 22 alleging encounters with the lawman over two years earlier in which he had

sexually abused her. "A preliminary internal investigation was immediately conducted," Menifee

police Sgt. Raul Perez said. "In order to ensure a fair, thorough and impartial investigation, the department requested an independent criminal investigation by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department."

Sheriff's Sgt. Jim Peters said MPD Internal Affairs detectives informed the Special Victims Unit that "Pesina was accused of sexually assaulting a victim during an on-duty investigation."

"During the course of our investigation, additional victims were identified in incidents that had occurred between 2023 and 2024," Peters said. "Investigators determined Pesina encountered these victims while on duty and off duty."

According to the criminal complaint, the victims, identified only as "C.R." and "J.H.," were allegedly assaulted in February

2023 and January 2024.

J.H. was Pesina's first alleged target. The defendant allegedly accessed her property illegally and perpetrated multiple sexual offenses over an unspecified period, according to the prosecution.

C.R. was allegedly victimized 11 months later, suffering similar abuse, the complaint said.

The document didn't specify which person, but it alleged that "after returning the victim of domestic violence to her home ... the defendant entered her home and forcibly sexually assaulted her."

The police department did not disclose when Pesina was hired, or in specifically what capacities he had worked, other than patrol.

If convicted, he could face life in prison with the possibility of parole.

Groundbreaking launches next phase of Murrieta Creek Flood Control Project

By Staff

On Aug. 28, a ceremonial groundbreaking marked the start of construction on the Murrieta Creek Flood Control, Environmental Restoration, and Recreation Project-Phase 2B.

Spearheaded by federal, county, and city partners, the project will extend another mile from Rancho California Road to Via Montezuma to cover the lower two miles of the authorized 7.5-mile corridor. The project construction cost is $44 million.

“Breaking ground on Phase 2B marks another step forward in keeping people safe, and strengthening public infrastructure,” said Congressional District 41 Representative Ken Calvert. “Through hard work and collaboration, we’ve secured nearly $40 million needed to move this project forward and provide additional flood protection to our communities.”

The event brought together Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-41), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Los Angeles District (Corps), County Supervisor Chuck Washington, and representatives from the County, Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, the Cities of Temecula and Murrieta, Eastern Municipal Water District, Rancho California Water District and others to celebrate the official start of construction of the next segment of the widely supported regional flood protection project.

“Murrieta Creek Phase 2B is more than flood protection, it is an investment in safety, recreation, and the environment. This project shows what we can achieve when we work together for a stronger, more connected community," said Third District Supervisor Chuck Washington. "Today’s groundbreaking was a celebration of the vision, persistence, and collaboration that brought us here. This is progress that will benefit our communities for generations to come.”

The Murrieta Creek

federal project, which spans the cities of Temecula and Murrieta, was first conceptualized following a devastating flood in 1993 that caused over $20 million in damages to Old Town Temecula and an estimated $88 million in damages to Camp Pendleton. Since then, the effort has evolved into a multiagency partnership aimed at providing 100-year flood protection while restoring natural habitat and extending public recreation opportunities along the Butterfield Overland National Historic Trail.

“This project is about more than flood management. It’s about preserving quality of life,” said Jason Uhley, General Manager–Chief Engineer of the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. “Together with our partners, we’re delivering flood safety, environmental enhancement for threatened species, and new recreation space.”

RETIRED COUPLE

error in judgment by this judge," Hestrin said. "If that judge had done his job, Emmanuel would be alive today."

The judge, on assignment from San Bernardino County, was not named in the court register online.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department personnel were examining potential body dump sites along the Moreno Valley (60) Freeway in the Badlands two weeks ago, without success.

Emmanuel was reported missing in the 34000 block of Yucaipa Boulevard in Yucaipa on the evening of Aug. 14.

Rebecca Haro told deputies she'd been assaulted while standing near her vehicle, changing Emmanuel's diaper outside a Big 5 store. The defendant suggested she was knocked out, and that the assailant fled with the tot.

On Aug. 18, San Bernardino County sheriff's detectives served search warrants at the defendants' Ramona

Street property, and "a large amount of surveillance video" was obtained from areas of interest for review, according to the agency.

Jake Haro was arrested and charged last year in Banning with illegal possession of a loaded firearm, as well as probation violations. That case hasn't been resolved.

Court documents also revealed that Isabel Rebecca Gonzalez, Haro's former spouse, filed a domestic violence restraining order against him with a request to protect the couple's son Eli.

Rebecca Haro has no documented prior felony convictions in Riverside County.

ICEMA creates mobile oxygen trailers for

disaster preparedness

By Staff

TheInlandCounties EmergencyMedical Agency (ICEMA) oversees the Healthcare Coalition for San Bernardino County, also known as the Healthcare Preparedness Planning Partnership (HP3).

As part of ICEMA’s enhancement of emergency preparedness throughout San Bernardino County, ICEMA has completed its oxygen trailers.

ICEMA partnered with Pacific Coast Industrial Gases (PCI Gases) to convert two specially designed trailers into fully functional mobile oxygen filling stations. This project is critical to aid during a sustained response and during major disasters.

Depending on the location and size of an emergency/disaster there may be delays in receiving resources from the supply chain. These oxygen trailers provide medical grade oxygen that is essential to sustain life for those with respiratory conditions and injuries.

The Healthcare Coalition

members who will benefit from the oxygen trailers include the hospitals in San Bernardino County, skilled nursing facilities and longterm care facilities, fire departments, ambulance providers and county departments such as Public Health, Behavioral Health and the Office of Emergency Services.
