Authored by thewrap.com

A group of day laborers told Los Angeles NBC affiliate NBC4 that Sam Haskell Jr. paid them $500 to haul trash bags that were full of body parts from his home.

The son of an Emmy-winning producer, Haskell was arrested on suspicion of murder on Wednesday.

The workers said they were hired to carry away three trash bags from inside Haskell’s garage.

Haskell initially told the men the bags contained rocks, but the men said it was immediately clear this wasn’t true.

Once the workers were a block away, they pulled over to look inside the bags.

The men returned the money and the bags to Haskell and tried to alert authorities.

They added that two law enforcement stations — a California Highway Patrol station and the LAPD Topanga Station — turned them away. »
