RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California father who pleaded guilty to killing his missing 7-month-old son was sentenced Monday to more than 30 years in prison.

Jake Haro, 32, was sentenced after he pleaded guilty last month to the second-degree murder of his son, Emmanuel, the Riverside County District Attorney’s office said in a statement. A monthslong investigation has failed to locate the child’s remains.

Haro and his wife, Rebecca, had reported the baby was kidnapped outside a store in Southern California in August, saying Rebecca Haro was attacked and left unconscious while changing the boy’s diaper. The case drew widespread attention as authorities and members of the public fanned out to search for the boy.

The couple were arrested a little more than a week later
