Samuel Haskell was arrested and charged with murder after a woman’s dismembered torso was found in a dumpster, officials said.
The son of a Hollywood executive was arrested in Los Angeles on Wednesday on suspicion of murder after a woman’s dismembered torso was found in a dumpster, officials said. Samuel Bond Haskell IV, 35, was detained after the grisly discovery, a news release from the Los Angeles Police Department said. The dismembered body part may belong to Haskell’s wife, Mei Haskell, who is missing, LA police Capt. Scot Williams of the robbery-homicide division told the Los Angeles Times.
said. Haskell was reportedly taken into custody at the Westfield Topanga mall in nearby Canoga Park. Haskell lived with his wife, in-laws and children at the home. The children were later located. Before the body part was discovered, police received a call Tuesday night regarding “what seemed like body parts in bags outside Haskell’s Tarzana home,” the Los Angeles Times reported. Police rushed to the scene, but found nothing by the time they arrived.
homicide detective Efren Guttierez told KTLA. Haskell is the son of Sam Haskell III, a former executive at Hollywood-based talent agency William Morris. His clients included big-name stars like Kirstie Alley, George Clooney, Dolly Parton, Ray Romano, Martin Short and Lily Tomlin, according to a biography posted online. The suspect’s mother is Mary Donnelly Haskell, a former Miss Mississippi. Haskell is being held on $2 million bail, the police said.
