Son Of top US Hollywood agent in custody after torso found in dumpster
The 35-year-old son of a Hollywood talent agent whose clients included Dolly Parton, George Clooney and a British prince, has been taken into custody in Los Angeles after a bloody torso authorities say probably belongs to his wife was discovered in a strip-mall dumpster.
Sam Haskell, who was booked on suspicion of murder on Wednesday, is also suspected of killing his wife’s parents who are missing, detectives have said.
Capt Scot Williams of the LAPD’s robbery-homicide division said the torso discovered in an Encino mall, five miles from Haskell’s home, was assumed to be Haskell’s wife, Mei Haskell. The grim discovery was made after workers at Haskell’s home reported seeing what appeared to be human remains in his driveway on Tuesday that later vanished. The following day, an unhoused man searching for recyclable material in a dumpster between a restaurant and a hair salon found the female torso stuffed in a duffel bag.
Well, speaking as a chronically homeless person, it's been stupid for five years.
It barely even says anything different. It's like switching out "starving masses" with "unfed persons," and I hope it does something for someone because it's not doing it for me
Yeah like switching colored people to people of color, it's the same but nicer sounding.
George Carlin would have had a field day with "unhoused".
It's the sort of bullshit that makes the squishy types feel better.
I will call people what they want to be called, usually that means just using their names.
