True Crime

Sam Haskell Jr. apparently couldn't stomach the gore depicted in a horror movie -- something he told a pal earlier this year ... even though he's accused of being a butcher.

TMZ has obtained IG DMs from May 2023 that Samuel -- the son of Hollywood super-agent Samuel Haskell Sr. -- sent to his ex-personal trainer Troy Piedade ... which touched "The Forever Purge," a flick that SHJ said made him queasy 'cause of the dismembered bodies.

Take a look at the back-and-forth between them yourself ... it's pretty eye-opening.

As you see, Sam brings up 'The Purge' and writes ... "Forever purge was a little different fools really be getting chopped up in Mexico for real it's hard for me to enjoy a movie about it, I'm down with purge 2 anarchy." He then goes on to say that he wants to make a movie with Troy.

We talked to Troy, who now tells us that over the course of the 14 years that he knew Sam ... he sensed something a bit off when he started actually training him in 2009 at Bally's in Encino.

Troy says that he feels Sam was very troubled, claiming that the guy would go out of his way to mess with people at the gym ... because he knew he (Troy) would protect him.

Despite his odd behavior, though, Troy tells us he never thought his former client would go as far as murder ... something the authorities in L.A. County have alleged against Sam.

Troy says he and Sam kept in touch over IG after he left the gym, where they regularly discussed topics such as horror movies and fitness ... including this brief chat about chopped-up bodies, which Sam said were too much for him. FWIW, law enforcement sources tell us the LAPD is aware of Sam's interest in horror movies and they're looking into it.

On Monday, L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón announced that Haskell Jr. was hit with 3 counts of murder in the death of his 37-year-old wife, Mei, and her parents ... 72-year-old Gaoshan Li and 64-year-old Yanxiang Wang.

Of course, this came after we published video that appears to show Sam dumping what very well may have been a body. A homeless person found a human torso at the same dumpster the very next day.

There's more video that appears to show Sam giving/receiving other bags ... which day laborers alleged contained human remains. Seems like the cops believed them.

Samuel Haskell Jr. was hit with 3 counts of murder -- even though cops say they only recovered body parts of one victim --  and now we know why.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the reason Haskell is charged with three murders is because of what witnesses told police and what cops later found at his home.

Our sources say the day laborers Samuel hired to haul away trash bags from his home are key to the case ... they told cops they grew suspicious, opened a bag, saw body parts, and brought the bags back to Haskell.

We're told there's also biological evidence found at the home where his wife and in-laws lived before going missing. Our law enforcement sources tell us the biological evidence is from 3 different people. We do not know the nature of the biological evidence, but we do know police found blood at the house.

TMZ broke the story ... Haskell is on video dumping what appears to be a heavy black bag into a dumpster near his home, the day before someone discovered a dismembered body inside a bag from the same dumpster.

TMZ also got footage of the day laborers hauling 3 trash bags from his home, driving off, before ultimately returning the bags to his driveway. The workers then went to police and Haskell drove his Tesla to a nearby strip mall and dumped a bag in the dumpster.

The body found in the dumpster has not been identified ... but we're told it's a woman. Haskell is charged with murdering his 37-year-old wife, Mei, and her parents, 72-year-old Gaoshan Li and 64-year-old Yanxiang Wang.

Our sources say it will be nearly impossible for law enforcement to recover the other bodies ... especially if they were chopped up and dumped in the trash.

The issue ... we're told once the trash is emptied and taken to a landfill, it gets dumped and buried very quickly ... making it very difficult to identify remains.

In fact, we're told there's a good chance none of the bodies would have ever been recovered if not for the homeless person who discovered the bag filled with body parts.

Samuel Haskell Jr. fue acusado con tres cargos de asesinato, a pesar de que la policía dice que solo se recuperaron las partes del cuerpo de una víctima, y ahora sabemos por qué.

Fuentes policiales dicen TMZ que la razón por la que Haskell está acusado de tres asesinatos, a pesar de solo haber encontrado un cuerpo, se debe a la ayuda de los testigos y a lo que la policía encontró más tarde en su casa.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que los trabajadores que Samuel contrató para transportar las bolsas de basura de su casa son la clave del caso, le dijeron a la policía que empezaron a sospechar así que abrieron una bolsa, vieron partes del cuerpo y llevaron las bolsas de nuevo a Haskell.

Nos dicen que también hay evidencia biológica encontrada en la casa donde su esposa y suegros vivían con él antes de desaparecer. Nuestras fuentes nos dicen que esta evidencia podría incluir sangre, tejido corporal y otros fluidos corporales.

TMZ lo dijo primero, Haskell aparece en video cargando lo que parece ser una pesada bolsa negra en un contenedor cerca de su casa,  justo el día antes de que alguien descubriera un cuerpo desmembrado dentro de una bolsa del mismo contenedor.

También hay imágenes de los trabajadores sacando tres bolsas de basura de su casa, marchándose antes de devolver finalmente las bolsas a su entrada. Al parecer, los trabajadores fueron a la policía y Haskell condujo su Tesla a un centro comercial cercano y arrojó una bolsa en el contenedor de basura.

El cuerpo encontrado en el contenedor de basura no ha sido identificado, pero al parecer es una mujer.  Haskell es acusado de asesinar a su esposa de 37 años de edad, Mei, y sus padres, de 72 años de edad, Gaoshan Li y 64 años de edad, Yanxiang Wang.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que será casi imposible para la ley recuperar los otros cuerpos, especialmente si fueron picados y tirados a la basura.

El problema es que una vez que la basura se vacía y se lleva a un vertedero, se vierte y se entierra muy rápidamente, por lo que es muy difícil de recuperar los restos.

De hecho, nos informan que hay una buena probabilidad de que ninguno de los cuerpos nunca habría sido recuperado si no fuera por la persona sin hogar que descubrió la bolsa llena de partes del cuerpo.

Samuel Haskell Jr, el hijo del poderoso agente de Hollywood Samuel Haskell Sr., acaba de ser acusado del asesinato de su esposa y sus suegros.

El Fiscal de Distrito del Condado de Los Ángeles, George Gascón, anunció los cargos el lunes. Haskell Jr. fue acusado de tres cargos de asesinato por la muerte de su esposa de 37 años, Mei, y sus padres, Gaoshan Li, de 72 años, y Yanxiang Wang, de 64.

Si es declarado culpable, Haskell Jr. podría enfrentarse a cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de acceder a libertad condicional.

Recuerden, un torso humano fue encontrado en un cubo de basura la semana pasada por una persona que estaba viviendo en la calle en Encino, y como informamos, el video obtenido por TMZ muestra a Haskell Jr. y algunos trabajadores llegando a su casa y trasladando bolsas de basura hacia un camión.

Uno de los trabajadores dijo que les dijeron que las bolsas estaban llenas de piedras, pero ellos comenzaron a sospechar y comprobaron que una de ellas contenía partes de cuerpos. Luego de ello, decidieron devolverle las bolsas a Haskell y llamaron al 911.

Samuel Haskell Jr., the son of powerful Hollywood agent Samuel Haskell Sr., has just been charged with the murder of his wife and in-laws.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced the charges Monday -- Haskell Jr.'s being hit with 3 counts of murder in the death of his 37-year-old wife, Mei, and her parents ... 72-year-old Gaoshan Li and 64-year-old Yanxiang Wang.

If convicted, Haskell Jr. could face life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Remember, a dismembered human torso was found in a garbage bin last week by a homeless person in Encino ... and as we reported, video obtained by TMZ showed Haskell Jr. and some day laborers arrive at his home and carry out garbage bags into a truck.

One of the workers said they were told the bags were full of rocks, but the crew got suspicious ... and checked one of the bags, which the worker said contained body parts. They returned the bags to Haskell and called 911.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's top priority when she gets out of prison next month is a tall order -- she wants to link up with Taylor Swift, and thinks she knows exactly where to do it.

The felon, who is nearing the end of her 10-year sentence for the second-degree murder of her mother, Dee Dee, is hoping her "Wildest Dreams" come true ... telling TMZ she and her husband Ryan have tickets for the Kansas City Chiefs game on Dec. 31.

Gypsy's scheduled to get out on Dec. 28, and she's counting on running into her idol at Arrowhead Stadium.

Realizing Tay Tay might not be there to watch BF Travis Kelce during that particular game, Gypsy has a backup plan, which is buying tickets for Taylor's October 2024 tour stop in New Orleans.

Clearly, she's determined to meet the singer, who Gypsy adoringly calls the "kick-ass chick" who's taught her the true meaning of girl power.

What's more, Tay's songs have served as massive inspo -- she says "Eyes Open" helped her push through the trauma from her mother's abuse ... which was detailed in the 2017 documentary, "Mommy Dead and Dearest."

Gypsy admits she mainly uses the commissary money her father sends to buy every TS album.

BTW, she's also a football fan, and would be thrilled to meet Travis too.

Of course, this might sound like a little pie in the sky -- Taylor sits in a luxury suite when she's at the stadium, and Travis is a little busy on game days.

Artículos relacionados con el asesinato de John F. Kennedy están ahora a la venta, 60 años después de que fuera asesinado, incluyendo objetos del infame  lugar donde fue abatido e incluso del pasado sombrío del asesino.

RR Auction tiene 80 objetos diferentes a la venta que se relacionan con el asesinato de JFK en 1963, y uno de los lotes es una sección de una valla de madera del montículo que marcaba la ruta del desfile del expresidente.

Eso no es todo, la casa de subastas también está vendiendo una ventana original de Texas School Book Depository, el mismo edificio desde donde Lee Harvey Oswald disparó y mató a JFK. Las ventanas originales del edificio fueron reemplazados en los años 80, por lo que es extra significativo.

También se incluye en la subasta la primera pistola de Oswald, que fue vendida a su hermano por $10 y el recibo de la llamada telefónica de Oswald desde la cárcel. Esta llamada se hizo justo 1 día después del asesinato de JFK.

Hay además un montón de joyas ocultas, perfectas para cualquier aficionado a la historia. Un postor afortunado puede incluso asegurar el diario personal del expresidente a partir de 1945, que cuenta un montón de detalles de su vida antes de convertirse en Presidente.

Items linked to John F. Kennedy's assassination are now up for auction, 60 years after he was killed ... including objects from the infamous grassy knoll and even the killer's grim past.

RR Auction has over 80 objects up for sale connected to November 22, 1963 ... including a section of the wooden picket fence behind the "grassy knoll" that overlooked the Presidential parade route. Lots of people -- including many who were there that day -- believe at least one gunman fired from that fence.

That's not all -- the auction house is selling a window from the Texas School Book Depository ... the building where Lee Harvey Oswald fired shots at JFK.

Also included in the auction are Oswald's first handgun, which he sold to his brother for $10 ... and Oswald's phone call receipt from jail -- the call he made just 1 day after JFK's assassination and one day before Oswald himself was shot and killed while in custody.

There are a ton of hidden gems for history buffs ... a lucky bidder can secure JFK's personal diary from 1945 ... which features a ton of insights before he became President.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard está dispuesta a ponerse delante de un micrófono cuando salga de la cárcel, pero no lo hará para ganar fama y atención, sino para ayudar a otras personas que sufren lo mismo que ella.

La famosa delincuente convicta -que se declaró culpable de asesinato en segundo grado en relación con el brutal asesinato de su madre en 2015- está lista para pasar la página cuando salga de la cárcel en diciembre, incluso dicen que va a hablar en público.

Fuentes cercanas a Gypsy le dicen a TMZ que está planeando convertirse en una figura pública que se hará cargo del trabajo de defensa en nombre de las víctimas de abuso infantil. Obviamente, ella se considera una víctima más, a causa de lo que su madre, Dee Dee, le hizo.

En concreto, se nos dice que Gypsy quiere crear conciencia sobre el síndrome de Munchausen por poder, un término médico que los profesionales han utilizado para describir su historia infame.

Por supuesto, eso se refiere a un padre que finge que sus hijos están enfermos y vive la mentira.

Teniendo en cuenta la amplia experiencia de Gypsy en este ámbito, nuestras fuentes dicen que ella cree que puede ayudar a muchas otras personas que podrían estar pasando por algo similar en sus propias vidas y al mismo tiempo, va a poner un foco positivo en la salud mental desde su punto de vista.

Nos han dicho que Gypsy ha crecido y madurado mucho durante su encarcelamiento y que se siente bien preparada para volver a integrarse a la sociedad y hacer algo bueno. Nuestras fuentes dicen que tiene un gran sistema de apoyo a su alrededor, que le ayudará con esta transición, incluyendo a su marido, Ryan.

Una de las cosas en las que Gypsy ha participado mientras estaba en la cárcel ha sido la terapia de grupo, nos han dicho que le ha sido increíblemente útil. Nuestras fuentes dicen que las sesiones individuales de terapia de trauma también están probablemente en su futuro, ya que todavía tiene problemas que resolver.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is ready to step up to a microphone once she's released from prison -- but it won't be for fame and attention, instead, she wants to help others who suffer like she once did.

The infamous felon, who pled guilty to second-degree murder for the 2015 slaying of her mother, is ready to turn over a new leaf when she gets out in December ... according to sources close to Gypsy.

Those sources tell TMZ ... Gypsy's planning on doing a lot of public speaking and engaging in advocacy work on behalf of child abuse victims. Obviously, that's how she categorizes herself, on account of what she says her mom, Dee Dee, put her through.

Specifically, we're told Gypsy wants to raise awareness about Munchausen's syndrome by proxy -- the medical term professionals have used to describe Dee Dee's actions.

It pertains to a parent who pretends their kids are sick and live out the lie.

Considering Gypsy's extensive experience in this realm, our sources say she believes she can help a lot of other people who might be going through something similar ... and in the same breath, it'll put a positive spotlight on mental health from her POV.

We're told Gypsy's grown and matured a lot while incarcerated, and she feels well-equipped to reacclimate into society and do some good. Our sources say she has a support system around her -- including her husband, Ryan -- to help with the transition.

One thing Gypsy's taken part in while in prison is group therapy -- which we're told was incredibly helpful -- but when she's out, she'll probably enter one-on-one trauma therapy sessions, as she's still working through her issues.

Natalee Holloway's brother has serious doubts Joran van der Sloot has found God after killing his sister ... and he's ready to hand the murdering monster a beatdown if he ever walks free.

Matt Holloway has been a correctional officer in the past, and while he tells us his experience is that many inmates turn to religion ... he also thinks van der Sloot is lying through his teeth about making that change.

He thinks van der Sloot was only honest about Natalee's death for selfish reasons -- the fact is, he struck a plea deal -- and Matt promises he will "whoop his ass" the day the killer is a free man.

That could happen in about 22 years. Van der Sloot got a 20-year sentence last week in Alabama when he pled guilty to extortion and wire fraud and confessed to killing Natalee. However, he'll serve that sentence concurrent to the 22 years he has left to serve in Peru for murdering a woman and drug trafficking down there.

Right now his scheduled release date is June 2045, when he'll be 57.

We also talked with Matt about why he thought it was practically impossible to nail van der Sloot for Natalee's killing all those years ago -- and he feels van der Sloot's father being a high-profile attorney in Aruba interfered in the investigation.

Matt says he's certain corruption was at play in van der Sloot dodging authorities for over a decade ... and he's calling out Aruba for, in his eyes, purposely dropping the ball. He is also calling for the Aruban government to look into any potential charges it could bring against van der Sloot now that he's copped to killing Natalee and misleading police.

In his chilling confession, van der Sloot said he took a cinder block and smashed Natalee's head in on the beach in 2005 -- this after she denied his sexual advances by kneeing him in the groin.

El hermano de Natalee Holloway tiene serias dudas de que Joran van der Sloot haya encontrado a Dios después de matar a su hermana y está dispuesto a darle una paliza al monstruo asesino si alguna vez sale libre.

Matt Holloway ha sido un oficial de correccional en el pasado, y a pesar de que nos dice que ha visto que muchos reclusos se vuelven a la religión, también piensa van der Sloot está mintiendo al respecto.

El piensa que van der Sloot solo fue honesto acerca de la muerte de Natalee por razones egoístas. El hecho es que llegó a un acuerdo y Matt promete que le "pateara el culo" si el asesino es alguna vez un hombre libre.

Eso podría ocurrir dentro de unos 22 años. Van der Sloot obtuvo una condena de 20 años la semana pasada en Alabama cuando se declaró culpable de extorsión y fraude electrónico y confesó haber matado a Natalee. Sin embargo, cumplirá esa condena junto con otros 22 años que le quedan por cumplir en Perú por asesinar a una mujer y traficar con drogas allí.

En estos momentos, su fecha prevista de puesta en libertad es junio de 2045, cuando tenga 57 años.

También hablamos con Matt acerca de por qué pensaba que era prácticamente imposible atrapar a van der Sloot por el asesinato de Natalee hace tantos años - y cree que el padre de van der Sloot siendo un abogado de alto perfil en Aruba causó interferencia en la investigación.

Matt dice que está seguro de que hay corrupción en el ecaso, puesto que las autoridades han hecho la vista gorda durante más de una década y está tratando de comunicarse con Aruba para conseguir respuestas. También le está pidiendo al gobierno de Aruba que estudie los posibles cargos que podría presentar contra van der Sloot ahora que ha admitido haber matado a Natalee y engañado a la policía.

En su escalofriante confesión, van der Sloot dijo que tomó un bloque de hormigón y rompió la cabeza de Natalee en la playa en 2005, esto después de que ella rechazara repetidos intentos sexuales, dándole un rodillazo en la ingle.

Jenelle Evans says she can't trust anyone in her life, not even her own family, and she's reeling in the wake of her husband being charged with child abuse.

The 'Teen Mom' star just broke her silence on the child abuse charge against David Eason in a case involving her 14-year-old son Jace ... going after police and the folks closest to her.

Jenelle says ... "I do not trust anyone around me ... I have no idea what human being I can trust anymore, not even my own blood."

She continues ... "I'm being fed all these different stories from different people. People trying to get on my good side.. To then betray me over and over."

Jenelle does not name names in her social media posts ... and she also takes aim at the North Carolina cops who oversaw the child abuse case saying ...

"YOU WOULD THINK POLICE WOULDN'T MAKE A ONE SIDED POLICE INVESTIGATION. THEY DIDN'T CONDUCT INTERVIEWS, DIDN'T ASK ANY INFORMATION FROM THE PARENTS."

"THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY BIAS SITUATION LIKE EVERYTIME BEFORE. I TRUSTED THAT DETECTIVE WITH ALL MY HEART.. FORGOT YOU CAN'T TRUST COPS... SILLY ME."

TMZ broke the story ... David was charged with a misdemeanor after Jace ran away from David and Jenelle's home back in September, prompting an investigation. It was the third time Jace had run away from home in about a month's time.

Remember ... Jenelle got custody of Jace from her mother, Barbara, earlier this year and he's David's stepson.

Jenelle Evans dice que no puede confiar en nadie, ni siquiera en su propia familia, y se siente terrible a raíz de su marido siendo acusado de abuso infantil.

La estrella de "Teen Mom" acaba de romper su silencio sobre la acusación de abuso infantil contra David Eason en un caso que involucra a su hijo de 14 años de edad, Jace.

Jenelle dice: "No confío en nadie a mi alrededor. Ya no puedo confiar en ningún ser humano, ni siquiera en mi propia sangre".

Ella continúa: Es como si pasara siempre lo mismo. Gente tratando de ponerse de mi lado, para luego traicionarme una y otra vez".

Jenelle no da nombres en sus mensajes por redes sociales, y apunta a los policías de Carolina del Norte que supervisaron el caso de abuso infantil diciendo:

"UNO PENSARÍA QUE LA POLICÍA NO HARÍA UNA INVESTIGACIÓN POLICIAL UNILATERAL. NO HICIERON ENTREVISTAS, NO PIDIERON INFORMACIÓN A LOS PADRES".

"ESTA PARECE UNA SITUACIÓN MUY PARCIAL COMO TODAS LAS ANTERIORES. CONFIÉ EN ESE DETECTIVE CON TODO MI CORAZÓN, OLVIDASTE QUE NO PUEDES CONFIAR EN LOS POLICIAS... QUÉ TONTA FUI".

TMZ publicó la historia, David fue acusado de un delito menor cuando Jace escapó de su casa (y la de jenelle) en septiembre, lo que provocó una investigación. Era la tercera vez que Jace se escapaba de casa en el lapso de un mes.

Recordemos que Jenelle obtuvo la custodia de Jace de su madre, Barbara, a principios de este año y él es hijastro de David.

Sickening audio has now surfaced of Joran van der Sloot confessing on tape to murdering Natalee Holloway ... bashing her head with a cinder block on the beach.

The chilling confession, released by the court, includes Joran describing his night with the 18-year-old Alabama native on a beach in Aruba back in 2005. Joran says in his confession they started kissing, but she denied his sexual advances and kneed him in the groin, which set him off.

He says he kicked her in the face, then grabbed a nearby cinder block and "completely" smashed her head in. Joran disturbingly says it was dark, but he could see her face had collapsed in as a result of the cinder block.

Joran claims he was scared and didn't know what to do after the attack ... which is when he says he put her body into the ocean.

Remember, Joran entered a guilty plea in Alabama on Wednesday to charges of wire fraud and extortion after telling Natalee's family he'd give details about her death in exchange for money.

Ha aparecido un escalofriante audio de Joran van der Sloot en el que confiesa el asesinato de Natalee Holloway, cuya cabeza golpeó con un bloque de hormigón en la playa.

La terrible confesión, publicada por el tribunal, describe la noche que el implicado pasó con la joven de 18 años y nativa de Alabama en una playa de Aruba en 2005. En su confesión, Joran dice que empezaron a besarse, luego ella se negó a tener relaciones sexuales y le dio un rodillazo en la ingle, que lo puso en marcha.

Joran van der Sloot revela que le dio una patada en la cara, luego agarró un bloque de hormigón cercano y le rompió la cabeza. Inquietantemente, añade que estaba oscuro en ese momento, pero que pudo ver su cara destrozada como resultado del impacto.

Joran afirma que se asustó y no supo qué hacer después del ataque, que es cuando confiesa que escondió su cuerpo en el océano.

Recuerden, Joran se sometió a una declaración de culpabilidad en Alabama el miércoles por los cargos de fraude electrónico y extorsión. Esto, después de decirle a la familia de Natalee que daría detalles sobre su muerte a cambio de dinero.
