Son of Hollywood Agent Arrested After Female Torso Found in Dumpster, as His Wife, in-Laws Remain Missing

Samuel Haskell is suspected of murder, police say

A mother and her two parents are still missing days after her husband was arrested on suspicion of murder when a woman’s torso was found in a dumpster, the Los Angeles Police Department says in a press release.

Samuel Haskell, 35, was arrested Wednesday after a person looking through dumpster bins found a human torso in a plastic bag, police say. The torso has not yet been identified.

Detectives processing the scene found evidence that led them to the home where Haskell lived with his children along with his wife, Mei Li Haskell, 37, and her parents, Gaoshan Li, 71, and Yanxiang Wang, 64, the LAPD says.

Haskell’s children were found and are being cared for by relatives, police say, but Mei Li and her parents have still not been found.

The Los Angeles Times reports that police say the torso is assumed to be that of Mei Li, but DNA results are pending.
