Samuel Haskell Jr. has been charged with three counts of murder, even though only the body parts of one victim have been recovered. However, new information has emerged that shed light on why Haskell is facing three murder charges. According to law enforcement sources, witnesses and evidence found at Haskell’s home played a crucial role in the decision to charge him with three murders.
The day laborers that Haskell hired to remove trash bags from his home provided crucial information to the police. The workers reportedly grew suspicious and decided to open one of the bags, only to discover body parts inside. They promptly returned the bags to Haskell, leading to further suspicion about the contents of the bags. This act of suspicion and subsequent action by the laborers served as a tipping point in the investigation.
Furthermore, biological evidence was found at the home where Haskell’s wife and in-laws lived before they went missing. The evidence, which is reportedly from three different people, raises serious concerns about the fate of the other potential victims. While the nature of the biological evidence has not been disclosed, it is known that blood was found at the house, adding to the mounting evidence against Haskell.
Video footage also captured Haskell dumping what appeared to be a heavy black bag into a dumpster near his home, a day before a dismembered body was discovered inside a bag from the same dumpster. Additionally, footage showed the day laborers hauling three trash bags from Haskell’s home, driving off, and ultimately returning the bags to his driveway. Following this, Haskell was seen driving his Tesla to a nearby strip mall and dumping a bag in the dumpster. The body found in the dumpster has not been identified, but it has been reported to be that of a woman.
Haskell is accused of murdering his 37-year-old wife, Mei, as well as her parents, 72-year-old Gaoshan Li and 64-year-old Yanxiang Wang. The recovery of the other bodies, however, presents a significant challenge for law enforcement. The disposal of body parts in the trash makes it unlikely that the other victims will be recovered, especially if they were dismembered and disposed of in various locations.
Once trash is emptied and taken to a landfill, it is quickly buried, making it incredibly difficult to identify and recover remains. The chances of recovering the other bodies are slim, if not for the homeless person who discovered the bag filled with body parts. This discovery has been crucial in the investigation, leading to the subsequent arrest and charges against Haskell.
Samuel Haskell Jr., the son of prominent Hollywood agent Samuel Haskell Sr., remains in jail and faces the possibility of life in prison without parole if convicted. The case has garnered significant attention due to the nature of the crimes and the high-profile nature of the accused. As the investigation continues, more details are likely to emerge, shedding further light on this horrifying and tragic case.
