The Emmanuel Haro Case: EXPOSED: Why Investigators Suspect Foul Play! On August 14, 2025, 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro vanished outside a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa, California. His mother, Rebecca Haro, told deputies she was attacked in the parking lot and knocked unconscious. When she came to, Emmanuel was gone. There was no suspect description, no vehicle, no witnesses—and as a result, no Amber Alert was issued. The disappearance triggered an immediate law enforcement response. Deputies brought in K-9 units and, shockingly, cadaver dogs within hours. Drones scanned the sky. Nearby businesses turned over surveillance footage. Despite the frantic search, Emmanuel was nowhere to be found. Attention quickly shifted to the family. Investigators flagged inconsistencies in Rebecca's account. When confronted, she ended her police interview and refused a polygraph. Days later, detectives served search warrants on the family's Cabazon home, seizing cell phones, iPads, gaming consoles, surveillance DVRs, and even the father's car. The father, Jake Haro, already had a troubling history. Court records show he and Rebecca pleaded guilty to child cruelty charges stemming from a 2018 case. At the time Emmanuel disappeared, Jake was still on probation and also facing weapons charges. That history made the family a primary focus for investigators. Meanwhile, a reported sighting of Emmanuel in Kern County briefly raised hope—but was never confirmed. Today, Emmanuel remains missing. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate, but with the family refusing to fully cooperate, the case is clouded in suspicion. This episode takes you inside the haunting details of the Emmanuel Haro case, where a baby disappears in broad daylight, the parents' stories unravel, and investigators are left to search for truth in silence. #TrueCrime #EmmanuelHaro #MissingBaby #Yucaipa #HiddenKillers Hashtags  #TrueCrime #EmmanuelHaro #MissingBaby #Yucaipa #HiddenKillers #ColdCase #CrimeDocumentary #TrueCrimePodcast #Investigation #CrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Israel has approved a West Bank settlement plan that would split the territory and pave the way for thousands of apartments, drawing global criticism and threatening hopes of a Palestinian state. Gov. Newsom last year accused oil companies of “screwing” customers, but now he wants to increase oil drilling in Kern County to prevent a possible rise in gas prices in 2026. Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead were counterculture icons. But according to author Jim Newton, Garcia himself wasn’t particularly political. At least not publicly, or even in ways we might traditionally think. Forty-two cats in a traditional portrait setting. Felines filling the frame in an array of poses on blue and pink fabrics, bathed in soft light. The 1891 masterpiece "My Wife's Lovers" is just as fabulous as it sounds.

Kern County's Agriculture Advocate: Rachel Nettleton, executive director of the Kern County Farm Bureau, is taking on the dual challenge of advocating for California farmers while educating the broader community about the importance of agriculture. In a recent conversation on the AgNet News Hour, Nettleton shared her unique journey into agriculture. Though she did not grow up working in farming, her Bakersfield roots and background in sports and marketing helped her develop a passion for advocacy. “I actually did not come from the agriculture industry, but I was born and raised here in Bakersfield, California. And we all eat food and we all wear clothes, so at the end of the day, we're all part of agriculture,” she said. Leading Kern County Agriculture Under her leadership, Kern County Farm Bureau continues to rank among the nation's top agricultural producers. “Yes, we are the leading ag county in America this year,” Nettleton explained, noting that Kern fluctuates in the top three spots alongside Fresno and Tulare. In 2023 alone, the county produced over $8 billion in agricultural products. Nettleton describes her role as multifaceted, joking, “I like to call myself an octopus. I have eight arms at all times. I've become a professional juggler since I started this position two years ago.” Her work ranges from legislative advocacy to direct community outreach. Educating the Next Generation One of her most impactful initiatives is Farm Day in the City, an annual event that brings thousands of Kern County schoolchildren face-to-face with agriculture. “We invite 5,000 children… and teach these kids about where their food comes from because a lot of kids think that chocolate milk comes from brown cows or that food grows in grocery stores,” she explained. Adults often leave with a new perspective as well. Nettleton emphasized the importance of engaging policymakers and the public alike. “We try our best to meet with as many legislators as we can, bring them physically to farms and have those conversations… It's just so important to have those in-person conversations to expand on why we need them to fight for our agriculture community,” she said. Looking Forward From water access and regulations to generational farming challenges, Nettleton is focused on ensuring agriculture remains strong in Kern County and beyond. “Farmers don't have time to go to all these meetings in Bakersfield and Sacramento… That's why we are here, to fight for them and provide those resources so they can focus on what they do best: feeding the world,” she said. Her passion also extends to social media outreach, where she sees opportunities to better highlight the environmental stewardship of farmers and the innovation happening across the industry. As Nettleton put it, “Everybody can make an impact for the agriculture industry. We all eat food, we all wear clothes, and the more positive action we can generate, the better.”

We kick off the show talking about summer heat and its effects on both people and crops. While Josh looks forward to time on the water, Nick reminds us that this year's ideal growing conditions have farmers thankful—at least for now. The feature interview today is with Wayde Kirschenman of Kirschenman Enterprises, a family farm that's been operating since 1937. From red, white, and yellow potatoes to table grapes and watermelons, Wayde and his family grow nearly a dozen crops throughout the year across multiple locations in California. Wayde walks us through their nearly year-round operation, how they ship produce globally, and the challenges of packing and shipping delicate crops like potatoes. We also explore the Kirschenman family's commitment to farming, with three generations working side-by-side and preparing the next generation for the future of agriculture in California. Wayde shares insights into labor and immigration concerns, the complexities of tariffs—especially on watermelons exported to Canada—and how freight, regulations, and water access play major roles in their operations. The episode also highlights the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative, which is gaining support from major food companies and aims to increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly in school lunch programs. The International Fresh Produce Association has proposed policy updates, pushing for expanded produce prescriptions in federal healthcare and broader access to nutrition education. Finally, we preview the upcoming Citrus and Specialty Crop Expo in Tampa, Florida. Josh and Nick invite citrus and specialty crop growers nationwide to attend the event on August 20–21 for keynote speakers, research updates, and networking opportunities.

AgNet News Hour: A Deep Dive into California's Cherry Season with Morada Produce Today's AgNet News Hour delivers a masterclass in California cherries, with industry veteran Mike Jameson of Murata Produce offering a behind-the-scenes look at what made this year's harvest one of the most challenging in decades. Hosts Nick “The Ag Meter” Papagni and Josh McGill welcome Jameson for an extended interview that digs into the science, economics, and global reach of California's cherry industry. Jameson, a 37-year veteran and Vice Chair of the California Cherry Board, breaks down how a perfect storm of heat stress, poor pollination conditions, and tree fatigue from two historically large crops led to this year's shortfall—just 4.8 million cartons harvested, down from over 9 million the year prior. That limited supply drove prices sky-high, but also left many orchards—especially in Southern regions like Kern County—completely unharvested. Beyond the numbers, Jameson highlights advances in technology like optical sorting systems that ensure consumers get consistently high-quality fruit, contributing to stronger retail demand. However, he warns that per-capita consumption is slipping even as production expands, calling for renewed industry efforts to boost cherry awareness and maintain market share. For cherry lovers, this episode offers more than just stats. You'll gain insight into why the fruit's health benefits—including high antioxidant content and natural melatonin—make it a summertime essential. And for producers, it's a thoughtful look at how environmental conditions and rootstock selections affect yield, quality, and long-term market positioning. Whether you're a grower, retailer, or just a fan of summer fruit, today's AgNet News Hour delivers unmatched insights straight from the orchard.

Nick sits down with a truly impressive figure in public service, Ryan Alsop, the Chief Executive Officer for Napa County in today's informative and fascinating episode. Ryan's career is a notable path through the demanding world of California government, from LA County to Kern County, and now leading one of the most renowned regions globally. He and Nick get into what it really means to lead, the absolute necessity of staying humble and always learning, and how he thinks about building teams and genuine connections. Ryan shares a central belief that shapes his entire approach: the need to "get better at everything," a surprising and refreshing take from someone at his level. He talks about the many hats a CEO wears, from understanding complex fiscal issues and managing sensitive personnel matters to navigating a global pandemic, which he did in Kern County. It's this commitment to being always a student – constantly listening, reading, and developing – that really stands out. And it's not just talk; he lives it, viewing even his best skills as having room for improvement. You do not want to miss this episode - there's so much here for leaders at any stage. Episode Highlights: • Ryan's deep belief in humility and the constant need for self improvement • His philosophy on hiring • Why authentic connections and truly seeing people are fundamental to Ryan's leadership • Handling complex California government landscapes with integrity and strategic awareness • Learning from both positive examples and from behaviors he chooses not to emulate • The important role his family plays in grounding him, supporting work life balance, and fueling his dedication • Ryan's passion for creating tangible value in the lives of his team and the wider community he serves • Finding wisdom and guidance from a wide array of people and experiences • Valuing broad mentorship Key Takeaways: "If you're holding your subordinates' hands too often, you hired the wrong person.
