A vehicle belonging to Jake was seized by investigators on Tuesday, KABC reported.
Emmanuel was first reported missing on August 14 after his mother said she was attacked outside of a Big 5 Sporting Goods store. Rebecca told officers that a man approached her while she was changing Emmanuel’s diaper and knocked her unconscious. But “inconsistencies” led deputies to say they could not rule out foul play in the case.
