On December 18, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office announced that the human remains found by police in a trash can in the Taishana area in early November identified 35-year-old Lemae Haskell as the perpetrator of the tragedy was her husband, Samuel Bond Haskell IV.
Although Haskell has been arrested and faces murder charges, the case remains a mystery. The whereabouts of Li Mei's parents are still unknown, and the mystery that follows people off guard is unexpected.
Haskell has not filed a plea at this time, and his lawyer has asked for an adjournment of the hearing. It's worth noting that Haskell was a successful director and producer, and the motives behind this murder are puzzling.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Haskell has abruptly changed attorneys and faces a special murder charge of life in prison. On the day of the incident, he hired four temporary workers to carry heavy black plastic garbage bags, and one of them was shocked to find a human body when he opened the bag. Haskell's whereabouts were captured on surveillance footage and he was arrested by police at the Topanga Mall.
Haskell's case has become increasingly confusing, leading to speculation about the motive for Ms. Lee's killing. Her uncle, Wang Yanqing, revealed in an interview that Li Mei is a brave and independent woman who takes care of their three children in addition to running a study abroad consulting company. This makes the case even more confusing, with speculation about whether there are hidden family conflicts or other untold circumstances.
On the day of the incident, Haskell hired workers to carry heavy garbage bags, and one of the workers found a human stump when he opened the bag. The scene was horrific and incredible, causing widespread shock in society.
The whereabouts of Li Mei's parents are still unknown, which adds to the mystery of the case. There has been a lot of speculation about whether they have become another casualty of the case, or perhaps hold incredible secrets. This also makes the case even more confusing, like an unfinished novel, leaving countless questions.
Notably, Haskell was a successful director and producer in Hollywood, but he was once sentenced for using a lethal weapon. This has sparked media speculation about whether his past is related to the case. Whether his father, as a famous Hollywood agent, played a role in his son's life has also become the focus of attention.
For now, Haskel's defense is still in the dark, and whether his new lawyer will be able to successfully defend him and bring the truth of the case to the surface remains an unsolved mystery. The whole case is like an intricate picture, waiting for the attention and unraveling of the public.
