A group of day laborers is hired by Sam Haskell IV to remove three bags of what they are told, are rocks from his garage\\xa0

The men described the bags as "soft and soggy," with each weighing about 50 pounds. A block away from Haskell\'s house, the workers opened up the bags and said they saw body parts. The men returned the bag to Haskell and returned his money. Haskell played it off, telling the workers what they actually saw were Halloween props. The men drove immediately to the police.

The men try to report what they have seen to police but they are turned away. The men went to the Highway Patrol station first but were told to go to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The LAPD Topanga Station tells the men to go back outside and call 911 from the courtyard. In the meantime, police receive another call about human remains, A homeless man, digging through the dumpster looking for recyclables, finds human remains.

Inside the dumpster, LAPD found a torso in a bag. The investigation provided detectives with enough information to lead them to Samuel Haskell IV\'s residence.\\xa0\\xa0
