0:00.0	Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield, and this is Drop Dead serious. When last we spoke of Jake and Rebecca Harrow, the San Bernardino couple who went on TV begging us to help them find their baby Emmanuel after Rebecca was attacked in a parking
0:22.7	lot, hit on the back of the head, only to emerge from unconsciousness to find her baby was missing?
0:28.5	Yeah, no. They were arrested and charged with murder, and now comes the news, pretty surprising,
0:35.5	actually, that cameras caught this, that the deputies from the
0:38.8	Riverside County Sheriff's Office escorted Jake in cuffs and his reddish-orange jail

2:00.1	Maybe, just maybe, to get a little bit of,

2:10.9	when you have a mom and a dad, a husband and a wife, to try to pit one against the other?
2:16.7	Think about it. If you're the homicide detectives and
2:19.6	neither one of these people is talking, because remember they told us even before being arrested,
