Samuel Haskell Jr. was caught on camera dumping what very well may have been the torso of a body police found in Encino, CA Wednesday ... and TMZ has the video, which aligns almost perfectly with video of Haskell with identical bags at his home.

We've obtained new footage which shows Haskell pulling into a parking lot in Encino late Tuesday afternoon in his white Tesla, casually parking by a dumpster and opening up the back to grab what appears to be a large, heavy garbage bag. Haskell struggles as he places it on his shoulder, and then hurls it into the trash bin.

We obtained two clips -- one from a slightly closer angle, and another capturing the scene from a little further away.

This is the same location, and apparently the same garbage bin where a homeless person found a dismembered human torso in a strip mall parking lot early Wednesday.

Cops swarmed the area and quickly arrested Haskell for murder. His wife, Mei, and her parents are all missing. It's unclear whose torso it was ... but we know it was a woman's.

Now here's how the dots all connect. TMZ posted video earlier today showing Haskell at his home Tuesday afternoon as some day laborers drive up and then help Haskell carry big garbage bags -- seemingly identical to the one he later tossed -- into a nearby truck.

One of the workers told NBC4 LA ... Haskell told them there were rocks in the 3 bags, but they were suspicious because the contents were soft and squishy. They left, but drove just a block and decided to open a bag, where they found body parts, including a belly button.

The workers returned to Haskell's house a few minutes after they left, returned the bags and placed them on his driveway, and returned payment. They then went to cops.

Now this is critical -- Haskell then left his home in his Tesla around 4:22 PM, and at 4:45 PM (when this new footage starts) ... you see him pulling in and dropping a large trash bag in the bin. That bin is 6 miles from Haskell's house, so the time matches up.

No word on where the other bags might've gone.

Haskell is the son of a former powerful Hollywood agent, Samuel Haskell Sr. ... who used to rep the likes of Dolly Parton and a slew of other A-listers before retiring from WME in '05.

Two deputies are lucky to be alive after a Florida man intentionally accelerated his car and plowed into them while they were responding to a distress call from his mother.

The horrifically violent scene played out Thursday morning in suburban Tampa ... where the mother of the suspect, Ralph Bouzy, called cops to say her son was "behaving violently" at their home. Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies arrived and saw Bouzy sitting behind the wheel of car in his driveway.

Cops say Bouzy drove off, but returned 15 minutes later ... as 2 deputies were still there, standing near the foot of the driveway. A deputy's body cam captured the moment Bouzy stepped on the gas, sped up and smashed into the lawmen ... pinning one of them up against a patrol car.

After the impact, Bouzy got out of his car and walked toward other cops on the scene, refusing to surrender. He finally went down once they tasered him, and he was arrested.

It's a miracle the deputies -- Carlos Brito and Manuel Santos -- even survived the crash. Both sustained critical injuries that required surgery, and remain hospitalized.

Sheriff Chad Chronister said, "There is no other way to describe this other than an ambush. Our deputies put their lives on the line every day to protect this community and what happened today makes me absolutely sick."

Dos ayudantes del sheriff tienen suerte de estar vivo después de que un hombre de Florida acelera intencionalmente su carro y se estrellara contra ellos mientras estaban respondiendo a una desesperada llamada de socorro de su madre.

La violenta y horrible escena ocurrió el jueves por la mañana en los suburbios de Tampa, donde la madre del sospechoso Ralph Bouzy llamó a la policía para decirles que su hijo estaba "comportándose violentamente" en casa. Los oficiales del sheriff del condado de Hillsborough llegaron y vieron a Bouzy sentado al volante del carro en la entrada.

Los policías dicen que Bouzy se alejó, pero regresó 15 minutos después, mientras los dos oficiales seguían allí de pie de la calzada. La cámara de uno de ellos capturó el momento en que Bouzy pisó el acelerador y se estrelló contra los agentes de la ley, dejando a uno de ellos inmovilizado contra un carro patrulla.

Después del impacto, Bouzy salió del carro y fue hacia otros policías que estaban en la escena, negándose a rendirse. Finalmente, se dio por vencido cuando lo electrocutaron y fue arrestado.

Es un milagro que los agentes, Carlos Brito y Manuel Santos, sobrevivieran al accidente. Ambos sufrieron lesiones críticas, que requirieron cirugía y permanecen hospitalizados.

El sheriff Chad Chronister dijo: "No hay otra manera de describir esto que no sea una emboscada. Nuestros ayudantes se juegan la vida cada día para proteger a esta comunidad y lo que ha ocurrido hoy me pone absolutamente enfermo".

Los científicos están celebrando un descubrimiento notable. El Equidna de Attenborough que se pensaba extinto, no lo estaba después de todo, ¡¡¡porque fue capturado en una maldita cámara!!!

Echa un vistazo al rarísimo hallazgo, captado por una cámara remota de los investigadores de la Universidad de Oxford en una expedición a Indonesia. Las imágenes muestran a la criatura de largos picos paseando por el bosque.

El Dr. James Kempton dijo a BBC News que él y todo su equipo consiguieron el impresionante registro en "la última tarjeta SD que miramos, de la última cámara que recogimos, en el último día de nuestra expedición", dijo el científico. Hecho el punto, la criatura vaya que hizo una entrada.

Dice que todo su equipo estaba "eufórico" cuando encontraron el viejo temporizador, y con razón. Se cree que el Echidna, cuyo nombre científico es Zaglossus attenboroughi, llamado así por el famoso biólogo Sir David Attenborough ha evolucionado desde la época de los dinosaurios, hace unos 200 millones de años.

No está claro cuando se extinguió exactamente el mamífero, o eso pensaban los científicos, pero la única evidencia de la criatura fue recogida en 1961.

Scientists are celebrating a remarkable discovery -- the Attenborough Echidna can't be extinct, as they thought it was, because it was caught on freakin' camera!!!

Check out the extremely rare find, captured on a remote camera placed by Oxford University researchers on an expedition to Indonesia. The footage shows the long-beaked creature just strolling in the woods.

Dr. James Kempton told BBC News he and his whole team got the impressive footage on "the very last SD card that we looked at, from the very last camera that we collected, on the very last day of our expedition." Point being ... the critter made one hell of an entrance.

He says his whole team was "euphoric" when they found the old timer, and rightfully so ... the Echidna -- scientific name Zaglossus attenboroughi, named after famed biologist Sir David Attenborough -- was thought to have evolved in the time of dinosaurs, about 200 million years ago.

It isn't clear exactly when the spiky mammal went extinct -- or so scientists thought -- but the only evidence of the creature was collected in 1961.

A Jewish man was killed at a pro-Palestinian rally in California ... and police are now investigating his death as a possible hate crime.

69-year-old Paul Kessler was attending the Sunday afternoon event in Thousand Oaks, CA, where there was also a competing pro-Israel rally. Kessler was demonstrating in support of Israel.

As you know, Israelis and Palestinians -- under the rule of Hamas -- are embroiled in a bloody war in the Middle East. Hamas attacked the Jewish state in October, sparking the conflict.

Law enforcement tells us ... At the gathering in Ventura County, Kessler got into a heated argument with the Palestinian counter-protesters, leading to a physical fight.

Cops say Kessler was knocked backwards, causing him to fall and hit his head on the ground.

Video of the incident later surfaced on X. Take a look ... Kessler is sprawled out on the sidewalk after the altercation. He appears to be in agony as two people tend to him.

Kessler was rushed to a local hospital, where he died from his head injuries. The L.A. County Coroner determined his death was a homicide.

Un hombre judío fue asesinado en una manifestación pro-Palestina en California, y la policía está investigando su muerte como un posible crimen de odio.

Paul Kessler, de 69 años, asistió al acto celebrado el domingo por la tarde en Thousand Oaks, donde también había una manifestación pro israelí en la que estaba Kessler.

Como saben, israelíes y palestinos -bajo el gobierno de Hamás- están envueltos en una sangrienta guerra en Medio Oriente. Hamás atacó al Estado judío en octubre, desatando el conflicto.

Las fuerzas del orden nos dicen que en la reunión en el condado de Ventura, Kessler entró en una acalorada discusión con los manifestantes palestinos, lo que llevó a una pelea física.

La policía dice que Kessler fue golpeado hacia atrás, lo que hizo que se cayera y se golpeara la cabeza contra el suelo.

Más tarde apareció un video del incidente en X. Echa un vistazo, Kessler está tendido en la acera después del altercado. Parece que está agonizando mientras dos personas lo atienden.

Kessler fue trasladado a un hospital local, donde murió a causa de sus heridas en la cabeza. El forense del condado de Los Ángeles determinó que su muerte fue un homicidio.

Un representante de la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Ventura dice que están investigando y no han descartado "la posibilidad de un crimen de odio."

Barbara Walters spent a good amount of her life in one of the nicest pads in New York City -- one that went on the market earlier this year ... and which may have a new owner.

You'll recall ... the late news icon's fam put her Manhattan condo up for sale back in April -- this just a few months after she passed away in December 2022 -- and the 5-bed, 6-bath home was listed at the time for $19.75 million, which was well worth it. The place is nice!

Since then, however, it looks like the real estate agents who were working on it ended up dropping the price tag a tad -- and as of right now, it was going for around $17.7 mil.

Somebody has made an offer on the home, and we've confirmed it's under contract -- which means the sale is pending, and should go through ... assuming all goes according to plan. What we don't know is if the would-be buyer ponied up $17.7 million, more ... or less.

If escrow does close, we'll find out in due time through property records -- but if the mystery shopper spent anywhere near what it was priced at ... they got a good deal.

Barack Obama spoke out about the conflict between Israel and Palestine -- and he says two things must be acknowledged as true ... on both sides of this thorny issue.

The former President was recently speaking at an event, and his remarks were captured by Pod Save America -- which says his full interview is coming out Tuesday. But from the snippet they released, BO says quite a bit ... and fully admits, this is complicated.

Take a look for yourself to see what exactly he says ... essentially, he condemns Hamas and the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel -- but in the same breath, condemns Israel's response.

He says there are innocent people in Gaza who've been wrapped up in this that have nothing to do with Hamas ... and yet, also notes the history of Jews being segregated/persecuted over their identity as a people. In other words, there's validity in each POV here.

In terms of folks debating this problem, Obama says it can't be hashed out on social media -- and it can't be solved unless everybody tells the "whole truth" about a complex topic.

He also says people have to learn to speak to others on the opposite end and be able to do so civilly ... and encourages everyone to see that there's complicity on all fronts of this. It's a word salad, but if you're wondering what he's actually arguing for now ... you're outta luck.

Barack doesn't really say what he thinks should happen going forward, nor does he specify what exactly he's calling for at this point ... at least not in what's uploaded at the moment. Perhaps we'll hear more from him in the coming days.

Una mujer que conducía un Porsche a más de 100 millas por hora en una carretera del estado de Washington perdió el control y se fue por los aires, chocando y matando al pasajero que la acompañaba, y todo fue capturado en video.

Ting Ye, de 26 años, fue acusada de homicidio vehicular cuando un juez del condado de King emitió una orden de arresto contra ella tras el accidente del 30 de septiembre en Bellevue, Washington.

Las imágenes de las cámaras de tráfico capturaron a Ye zumbando por la autopista en el carro deportivo con su pasajero, Yabao Liu, en las primeras horas de la mañana.

De repente, el vehículo da vueltas y se desplaza lateralmente, chocando contra una barrera metálica y saliendo disparado fuera de la calzada mientras se volcaba salvajemente.

Liu, de 27 años, falleció, mientras que Ye fue tratada en un hospital local por heridas leves. Ya fue dada de alta.  La pareja llegó a Bellevue por motivos de trabajo, aunque no está claro cuál es su relación exactamente.

De acuerdo con documentos de la corte, Ye no cooperó con la policía y se escabulló del centro médico, dirigiéndose a Canadá antes de huir a China.

Los fiscales presentaron entonces la acusación penal contra Ye, mientras el juez firmaba su orden de detención. Ahora, están trabajando con las autoridades federales de Washington DC para traerla de vuelta a Bellevue y que enfrente la justicia.

Un obstáculo importante es China, que no tiene un tratado de extradición con Estados Unidos, lo que impide que el gobierno extranjero la entregue.

A woman driving a Porsche at more than 100 miles per hour on a Washington state highway lost control and went airborne, crashing and killing her passenger -- and it was all caught on video.

26-year-old Ting Ye was charged with vehicular homicide as a King County judge issued an arrest warrant for her following the deadly September 30th incident in Bellevue, WA.

Traffic camera footage captured Ye whizzing down the freeway in the sports car with her passenger, Yabao Liu, in the early morning hours.

Suddenly, the vehicle spins around and travels sideways, slamming into a metal barrier and launching off the roadway while flipping over wildly.

The 27-year-old Liu died, whereas Ye was treated for minor injuries at a local hospital and released. The pair came to Bellevue for work, although their exact relationship was unclear.

According to court docs, Ye was uncooperative with police and slipped out of the medical center, hightailing it to Canada before fleeing to China.

Prosecutors then filed the criminal charge against Ye, while the judge signed off on her arrest warrant. Now, they're working with federal authorities in D.C. to bring her back to Bellevue to face justice.

One major obstacle is China, which does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S., preventing the foreign government from turning her over.

La Universidad de Cornell ha cancelado sus clases de este viernes, esencialmente diciendo que todo el mundo está estresado después de que un estudiante fuera arrestado por amenazar con matar a estudiantes judíos en el campus.

La escuela dedicará el día viernes a la comunidad, "en reconocimiento a la extraordinaria tensión de las últimas semanas". Esto, después de que un joven de 21 años, de Cornell, Patrick Dai fuera acusado de amenazar con matar a judíos.

Los fiscales de Nueva York dicen que Dai amenazó con dañar y/o matar a los estudiantes, jactándose en Internet de que iba a "disparar" en el comedor 104 West de Cornell, que es predominantemente judío, añadiendo que planeaba llevar un rifle al campus.

El FBI se involucró rápidamente en el caso y encontró mensajes antisemitas en un foro de discusión en línea, que fueron escritos bajo un nombre de usuario que se refiere a Hamas.

Aunque la cuenta no llevaba el nombre de Dai, los investigadores federales pudieron identificarlo como sospechoso rastreando la dirección IP de la cuenta.

Dai fue entrevistado por el FBI el martes y supuestamente admitió haber publicado los comentarios. Estuvo en la corte federal el miércoles, pero no entró en una declaración de culpabilidad.

Cornell University has pulled the plug on its classes this Friday -- essentially saying everyone's stressed out -- after a student was arrested for threatening to kill Jewish students on campus.

The school will observe community day Friday "in recognition of the extraordinary stress of the past few weeks" -- this after Cornell junior, 21-year-old Patrick Dai was charged with threatening to kill Jews.

New York prosecutors say Dai threatened to harm and/or kill Cornell's Jewish students ... boasting online he'd "shoot up" Cornell's 104 West dining hall, which is predominantly kosher ... adding he planned to bring an assault rifle to campus.

The FBI quickly jumped on the case and found antisemitic messages on an online discussion forum, which were written under a username that referenced Hamas.

While the account didn't have Dai's name attached to it, federal investigators were able to pin him as the suspect by tracking the account's IP address.

Dai was interviewed by the FBI Tuesday ... and allegedly admitted to having posted the comments. He appeared in federal court Wednesday but didn't enter a plea.

Selena Gomez está bajo ataque por sus comentarios sobre el conflicto entre Israel y Palestina. Muchos están acusándola de no hacer todo lo posible por ayudar a los necesitados.

Por si se lo perdieron, la cantante habló el lunes sobre los horrores en Medio Oriente, condenando la tortura y el asesinato y diciendo: "Eso es lo que me enferma. Ojalá pudiera cambiar el mundo. Pero un post no lo hará".

Sus palabras fueron recibidas con odio por los usuarios en Internet, una persona la criticó por tener "430 MILLONES de seguidores" y una "plataforma que es inútil" y otro escribió: "Solo Selena Gómez encontraría la forma de que un genocidio se trate sobre ella".

La estrella de "Only Murders in the Building" también fue objeto de críticas por una marcada diferencia entre su postura sobre los ataques de Israel y Hamás y sus puntos de vista sobre los ataques de Rusia contra Ucrania, sobre los que habló el año pasado. En esa oportunidad dijo que estaba donando a la causa.

Como ya informamos, otras celebridades han sido criticadas por sus comentarios sobre el conflicto en curso, incluyendo la ex estrella de cine porno Mia Khalifa, que perdió su trabajo en Playboy después de defender a los terroristas de Hamas.

La familia Hadid también está recibiendo cientos de amenazas de muerte. El teléfono de Bella fue filtrado y su hermana Gigi también fue condenada en las redes después de expresar sus opiniones pro-palestinas sobre la guerra.

Selena Gomez is under attack for her comments about the conflict between Israel and Palestine ... with many accusing her of not doing all she can to help those in need.

ICYMI, the singer spoke out Monday about the terrors in the Middle East, condemning torture and murder and saying, "That's what makes me sick. I wish I could change the world. But a post won't."

Her words were met with a bunch of hate online -- one person called her out for having "430 MILLION followers" but claiming her "platform is useless," and another wrote, "Only Selena Gomez would find a way to make a genocide about herself."

The "Only Murders in the Building" star also came under fire for a stark difference between her stance on the Israel-Hamas attacks and her views about Russia's attacks on Ukraine, which she spoke out about last year -- in which she said she was donating to the cause.

As we reported, other celebs have gotten called out for their comments about the ongoing conflict -- including former adult film star Mia Khalifa, who lost her gig with Playboy after defending Hamas terrorists.

The entire Hadid family was also getting hundreds of death threats, with Bella's phone number getting leaked ... remember, her sister, Gigi, was met with hate after voicing her pro-Palestinian opinions about the war.

Shani Louk, the Israeli festivalgoer who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists, has died ... this according to Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The MFA said Monday it's "devastated" to have confirmed the death of the 23-year-old German-Israeli -- adding, "Our hearts are broken 💔. May her memory be a blessing."

In a disturbing detail, Isaac Herzog, the President of Israel, reportedly told a German newspaper Shani was beheaded.

As we reported, Shani was attending the Supernova festival on October 7 near the Gaza Strip -- the same day Hamas began attacking, opening fire on those in the crowd with guns and rockets and kidnapping dozens of the concertgoers.

Video from just before the attacks showed her dancing and having fun on the festival grounds ... but what came after was nothing short of horror -- being stripped naked and paraded in the back of a pickup truck while Hamas terrorists spat on her.

Shani's mother, Ricarda, was pleading for anyone with info about her daughter to come forward, and later said she'd gotten word from an unnamed Palestinian that she was alive, and allegedly getting treated at a Gaza hospital.

It's unclear if her death happened before or after that report of her alleged treatment while the hands of Hamas.

Shani's boyfriend, Orión Hernández Radoux, was also with her at the festival ... and chilling texts written in Arabic like, "Liberate Palestine," "God damn you," and "I spit on you," were sent to contacts in his phone after the attack.

Shani was just 23.
