Body parts found in November in an Encino trash bin were positively identified today as the remains of a woman whose husband has been charged with killing her and her parents.
Samuel Bond Haskell Jr., 35, of Tarzana, has been charged with the killings of his wife Mei Haskell, 37, and her parents, 64-year-old Yanxiang Wang and 72-year-old Gaoshen Li, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Haskell Jr. is the son of Sam Haskell Sr., founder and president of Magnolia Hill Productions, which produced various Dolly Parton specials and two revived specials featuring The Waltons. Before that, Haskell Sr. spent time at William Morris, where he rose to Worldwide Head of Television before retiring. He resigned as CEO of the Miss America organization after a 2017 email scandal.
The Haskell scion appeared in a downtown courtroom on Dec. 8 to answer to three counts of murder in connection with the disappearance of his wife and in-laws, but his arraignment was postponed until Jan. 12. Haskell was ordered to remain jailed without bail.
The victims, who lived in a Tarzana home in the 4100 block of Coldstream Terrace with Haskell and the couple’s three young children, were last seen on or about Nov. 6, authorities said. The children were found and are being cared for by family members, police said.
Haskell was arrested following the discovery on Nov. 8 of human remains inside a trash bin near Ventura Boulevard and Rubio Way in Encino. Police had said they suspected the remains were those of Mei Haskell.
Prosecutors said Haskell allegedly tried to pay day laborers to remove bags from his home with what they realized were body parts and, when that failed, the defendant was caught on video dumping the bags out of
