The son of a famous Hollywood agent who was arrested after a woman’s torso was found in a bin near his LA home has been caught on camera dumping what appears to be part of her body in a California shopping center car park.
Surveillance footage obtained by TMZ shows Samuel Haskell IV park his white Tesla next to a dumpster in Encino Tuesday afternoon before opening the back and pulling out what appears to be a large garbage bag.
Haskell, 35, was seen struggling to lift the heavy bag up and over his shoulder before tossing it into the bin.
Two separate clips obtained by the outlet show the disturbing scene from close up and further away.
The shocking footage was captured at the same location where a homeless man looking for recyclables found his torso early Wednesday.
Investigators said there were no obvious identifying marks on the torso such as tattoos, but they believe it may have belonged to Haskell’s missing wife, May.
Mei Haskell and her parents – mother Yanxiang Wang and father Gaoshen Li – had been reported missing before the gruesome discovery.

Haskell was arrested after investigators found a large amount of blood and other evidence inside his home that suggested a murder scene.
He is being held in jail on $2 million bail on the murder charge, pending a court appearance on Monday.
He allegedly paid an employee $500 to haul three large bags of trash out of the garage of his Tarzana home on Tuesday, just a day before the dismembered body was found.
Haskell, the son of a powerful Hollywood executive who previously represented megastars George Clooney, Dolly Parton and Whoopi Goldberg – allegedly told workers the bag was filled with rocks, but the group soon realized the contents were far more sinister.

They accepted the money and drove several blocks away to examine the bags, which they described as soft and wet, weighing about 50 pounds each, before turning around and putting the bags away.
Haskell allegedly tried to remove the body part as a Halloween prop, but the man could not be persuaded to participate in his dirty work.
They claim they immediately tried to report the gruesome discovery to two separate police stations but were rebuffed.

The three children Haskell and his missing wife shared were found safe at school and turned over to the Department of Children and Family Services.
Haskell, who describes himself as a director and posts several clips online of low-budget videos, has a history of violence.
He was arrested and charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon in December 2008, to which he pleaded no contest to battery and was placed on three years’ probation in 2010.
