Ex-Hollywood Agent’s Son Arrested for Murder, Torso Found in Dumpster – The Hollywood Reporter
Los Angeles Police have arrested a 35-year-old man suspected of murder in connection with a headless torso found in a dumpster in a commercial area of Encino, California.
The LAPD’s Valley Bureau Homicide department identified the murder suspect as Samuel Haskell, a resident of Los Angeles who has been booked on one criminal count of murder and is being held on $2 million bail.
Samuel Haskell has been identified in media reports as the son of Samuel Haskell Sr., the former executive vp and worldwide head of television at William Morris, where he represented celebrity talent like Ray Romano, Whoopi Goldberg, Michael Feinstein, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, Martin Short and Sean Hayes.
Haskell Sr. is also a former chairman of the board of the Miss America Organization and is currently founder and president of Magnolia Hill Productions, where in partnership with Dolly Parton he has produced TV movies for NBC, among a host of other content.
LAPD police said the unidentified female torso was found in the area of Ventura Boulevard and Rubio Avenue on Nov. 8, at around 6 a.m. “An individual looking through dumpster bins found a bag containing a woman’s torso, prompting the police to be called. Detectives responded and processed the crime scene. The identification of the torso is ongoing,” the LAPD added in a press release.
LAPD detectives were then led to the home of Samuel Haskell in the West Valley area. They are also looking for Samuel Haskell’s wife, Mei Li Haskell, 37, and her parents, mother Yanxiang Wang, 64, and father Gaoshan Le, 71. The parents also lived in the family home in Tarzana.
Police are also on the lookout for two missing vehicles, a white VW Tiguan and a white 2014 Nissan Pathfinder.
