The recent arrest of Samuel Haskell, the 35-year-old son of powerful former Hollywood agent Samuel Haskell Sr., has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. The arrest came after the dismembered torso of a woman was found in a bag in a dumpster in Encino, CA. Despite the victim not yet being identified by the coroner, Haskell is being held on $2 million bail. Additionally, Haskell’s wife, Mei Haskell, and her parents are currently missing, adding to the mystery surrounding the case.
It’s no secret that the Haskell family has deep roots in Hollywood. Samuel Haskell Sr. is the President of Magnolia Hill Productions, the company behind several Dolly Parton specials, including “Dolly Parton’s Magic Mountain Christmas” and “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors.” Haskell Sr. was a powerful agent at William Morris Agency and represented a slew of A-list celebrities during his 27-year career, including Dolly Parton, Whoopi Goldberg, Ray Romano, George Clooney, and many more.
As law enforcement continues its investigation into Haskell’s son, details have emerged that shed light on the family’s home life. Investigators are currently searching through Haskell Jr.’s Tarzana home, where he lived with his wife and her parents, Yanxiang Wang and Gaoshen Li. So far, evidence of a crime has been found, including blood in the home. The couple has three children, who are currently safe in the custody of Los Angeles’ Department of Children and Family Services.
The discovery of the dismembered torso was made by a homeless person sifting through a strip mall dumpster, adding to the tragedy and unsettling nature of the case.
