2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Rebecca Harrow, the mother of the missing baby Emmanuel Horrow,

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: is set to appear in court tomorrow Tuesday, nearly two

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: weeks after her husband entered a guilty plea for the

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: murder the forty one year old Rebecca faces charges of

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: murder and filing a false police report in connection with

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: the death of her seven month old son, whose remains

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: have yet to be discovered. On October sixteen, her thirty

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: two year old husband, Jake, admitted to second degree murder

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: and falsely reporting to police. He is facing a potential

11
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: sentence ranging from twenty five years to life, with a

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: sentencing hearing set for November three. Her court session is

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: designated as a felony settlement conference. Should Rebecca continue to

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: plead not guilty, her case will advance to a preliminary hearing.

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: Emmanuel was reported missing on August fourteen, twenty twenty five. Initially,

16
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: Rebecca claimed she was assaulted in a store parking lot

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: and that her son had been abducted, but law enforcement

18
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: quickly determined that her story was fabricated. Despite extensive search efforts,

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: Emmanuel's body has not been found. Following Jake's arrest, he

20
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: was spotted near a freeway during the ongoing search for

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: the child's remains. In a jail interview with The Press

22
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: Enterprise after his arrest, Rebecca insisted her husband would never

23
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: harm an infant and maintained her innocence. Jake has a

24
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: history of child abuse involving another infant from a previous relationship,

25
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: which resulted in the child suffering from broken bones and

26
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: a brain hemorrhage. He received a sentence that included probation

27
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,919
Speaker 1: and work release in that case. For Crime and Justice

28
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: News after this. On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed

29
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: that the US military executed three strikes in the Eastern

30
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: Pacific Ocean targeting vessels allegedly involved in drug trafficking, resulting

31
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: in fourteen fatalities, leaving one person alive. This marks the

32
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: first occasion where multiple strikes were reported on the same day.

33
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: The operations conducted on Monday represent a significant increase in

34
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: the frequency of attacks in South American waters, which had

35
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: previously commenced in early September with intervals of several weeks.

36
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: A Pentagon official who decided to remain anonymous to discuss

37
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: the sensitive operation confirmed that the strikes took place off

38
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: of Columbia's coastline. After one of the boats was targeted,

39
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: military personnel discovered an individual in the water grasping onto debris.

40
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: The military relayed the survivor's exact coordinates to the US

41
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: Coast Guard and a Mexican military aircraft that was active

42
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: in the vicinity. Hegseth stated that Mexican search and rescue

43
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: teams took charge of the rescue operation for the survivor,

44
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: but did not clarify whether the individual was successfully rescued

45
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: or whether they would remain in Mexican custody or be

46
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: transferred to the US. In a prior strike earlier this month,

47
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: two survivors were rescued by the US military and returned

48
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: to their home countries, Columbia and Ecuador. The Ecuadorian individual

49
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: was later released after prosecutors determined there was insufficient evidence

50
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: of any wrongdoing on his part. Hegseth shared footage of

51
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: the recent strikes on social media, depicting two boats traversing

52
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: the water in separate clips. One boat was heavily loaded

53
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: with numerous parcels. Both boats subsequently explode in flames. The

54
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: third strike targeted two stationary boats positioned next to each other.

55
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: They appeared to be mostly unoccupied, with at least two

56
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: individuals visible before a blast consumed both vessels. Hegseth noted

57
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: that before vessels were monitored by our intelligence traveling along

58
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: known drug trafficking routes to the US and were suspected

59
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: of carrying narcotics. The Trump administration has yet to provide

60
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: evidence supporting its assertions regarding the vessels, their connections to

61
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: drug cartels, or the identities of those killed in the strikes.

62
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: With a death toll from thirteen strikes since early September

63
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: now totaling at least fifty seven, Hegseth drew comparisons between

64
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: the military's operation against drug trafficking and the fight against terrorism.

65
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: Following September eleven attacks, he asserted that drug cartels have

66
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: caused more American deaths than al Qaeda, and they will

67
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: be treated accordingly. President Donald Trump has defended the strikes

68
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: by claiming that the United States is in an armed

69
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: conflict with drug cartels, labeling these criminal organizations. President Donald

70
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Trump has defended the strikes by claiming that the United

71
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: States is in an armed conflict with drug cartels, labeling

72
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: these criminal organizations as unlawful, invoking the same legal framework

73
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: used by President George J. W. Bush's administration in the

74
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: fight against terrorism. For the latest crime injustice news, follow
