UNITED STATES

Sam Haskell IV, the 35-year-old Hollywood “#richkid” whose wife and in-laws are missing, is due in court Monday to face a judge after police found a woman’s headless torso in a dumpster near his house last week.  Over the weekend, as Haskell languished in a cell with Los Angeles’ courts closed for Veterans Day, posts from his bizarre TikTok account garnered new scrutiny as commenters picked apart his ramblings about designer fashion, celebrities and Asian cuisine. Police arrested Haskell at a mall in Canoga Park on Thursday, hours after responding to a bank parking lot in Encino, where a homeless man made the grisly find while searching through trash. Surveillance videos taken the prior afternoon show a thin man pulling up in a white SUV and struggling to toss something into the bin in a crowded parking lot in broad daylight. LOS ANGELES SURVEILLANCE VIDEO CAPTURES MAN DROPPING LARGE OBJECT IN DUMPSTER WHERE HEADLESS BODY FOUND Under the pseudonyms Tragic Streetz and Samuel Basshinger, he has posted a series of bizarre selfie videos on TikTok and highly produced short clips to Facebook. In one, while in the driver’s seat of a cluttered SUV, he says, “Like, my resume says unhappy, bitter, resentful, and like really good at ordering off the menu.” Another showed him filming his reflection in a window, appearing to pose with music playing. “What in the Luka Magnotta is this?” wrote one commenter, a reference to the infamous killer whose capture was chronicled on Netflix’s docuseries “Don’t F— with Cats.” A tipster told Fox News Digital Friday that people found Haskell’s behavior in the parking lot suspicious and that a passerby took pictures of the license plate and sent the number to police. Police said they could not immediately identify the remains – but they believed they belong to Mei Haskell, the suspect’s 37-year-old wife who has been missing for days. Her parents, Goashan Li, 72, and Yanxiang Wang, 64, lived with the couple and are also unaccounted for. Authorities said the Haskells’ three young children have been removed from their Tarzana home – now a crime scene – as the investigation continues.  Prosecutors had 48 hours after Haskell’s arrest to bring him before a judge. However, Los Angeles courts observed Veterans Day on Friday, which paused the clock for the entire three-day weekend. SUSPECT IN LOS ANGELES TORSO DUMPSTER CASE IS HOLLYWOOD SCION WHOSE WIFE, IN-LAWS ARE MISSING Police visited Haskell’s home twice last week. On the first occasion, a group of day laborers told them they had been asked to remove suspicious bags that felt heavy and soggy. However, responding officers found no evidence at the scene and were forced to leave. They returned with a search warrant Thursday morning and found blood and other evidence inside, LAPD Detective Efren Gutierrez told reporters. Haskell’s famous dad was a longtime A-list talent agent who represented stars like Dolly Parton and George Clooney before becoming an Emmy-winning producer. He received four Emmy nominations and a single win for teaming up with Parton on “Christmas on the Square.” LOS ANGELES HOMELESS MAN DIGGING THROUGH TRASH DISCOVERS HUMAN TORSO IN PLASTIC BAG; SUSPECT ARRESTED He was also a longtime Miss America Organization CEO, who left in a scandal after leaked emails showed him disparaging former winners. A&E’s “Secrets of Miss America” miniseries chronicled the dad’s decline in June, which included allegations of sabotaging the career opportunities and romantic lives of pageant winners. The younger Haskell, meanwhile, used to maintain an Instagram account where he frequently posted about his Hollywood lifestyle under the hashtag #richkids.  The suspect Haskell’s mother is the former beauty queen and actress Mary Donnelly Haskell, 1977’s Miss Mississippi. Haskell was scheduled to be due in court at 8:30 a.m. Monday.

A senior Jewish New York Democrat lawmaker called on the leaders of the “Ceasefire Now camp” to publicly “urge” people to stop tearing down posters of Israeli hostages. Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., posted on X Monday calling for the prominent “Ceasefire Now” members to tell people to stop tearing down the posters of Israelis kidnapped by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. Nadler wrote the posters being torn down is causing “hostilities” and “altercations” and that releasing the hostages is the fastest way toward a ceasefire. NEW YORK TIMES ACCUSED OF ‘BOTH-SIDING’ PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTORS TEARING DOWN POSTERS OF KIDNAPPED CIVILIANS “An earnest request to well-intended people, particularly those with large followings, in the Ceasefire Now camp: urge people publicly to stop tearing down hostage posters,” Nadler wrote. “It’s creating hostilities/altercations that aren’t good for anyone,” he continued. “And of course, hostage release is the quickest route to ceasefire.” Eva Borgwardt, IfNotNow’s national spokesperson, told Fox News Digital, “We don’t support tearing down posters of kidnapped Israelis.” “We call for a ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners unjustly held captive,” she continued. “We urge Rep. Nadler to work towards a ceasefire — the quickest route to hostage release.” KARINE JEAN-PIERRE SKEWERED ONLINE FOR INITIAL REFUSAL TO CONDEMN VANDALISM OF HOSTAGE ISRAELI POSTERS Nadler’s call comes as videos of anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian protesters tearing down the kidnapping victims’ posters have gone viral online. The viral videos of anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian protestors tearing down posters of civilians taken by Hamas during the October 7 terrorist attack have inundated social media, and at least one journalism watchdog has accused The New York Times of “both-siding” the issue.  The posters have been plastered across public spaces and universities throughout America, and multiple social media accounts have dedicated themselves to posting video of people tearing them down. Some of the people caught tearing down the posters have lost jobs and been publicly shamed, while others seemed to embrace being caught in the act of destroying them. Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt blasted the “inhumane” act of tearing down the posters. “It is hard for me to think of something more inhumane than tearing down posters of babies who are kidnaped by a terror organization,” Greenblatt told Fox News Digital. “These people, I would encourage them to move to Gaza, if you feel so strongly. I would love to see these people relocate to Gaza and see how well they do,” Greenblatt continued. “I mean it — all these activists, all these people parading around with their sanctimony, you know, moralizing against the vast majority of us, send them to Gaza to do their protesting. I hope it goes well for them.” Some have been irked at The New York Times’ recent coverage of the hostage posters being torn down. An Oct. 31 report headlined, “How Posters of Kidnapped Israelis Ignited a Firestorm on American Sidewalks,” dove into the polarization of the posters. Fox News Digital’s Brian Flood contributed reporting.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb etched his name in the NFL record books on Sunday night with his incredible performance against the New York Giants. Lamb had 11 catches for 161 yards and a touchdown. It was the third consecutive game Lamb had at least 10 catches and at least 150 yards receiving. The Cowboys noted that Lamb made history.

There have been eight other players in NFL history with a two-game streak, the team said.  The streak started in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Rams, when he had 12 catches for 158 yards and two touchdowns. It continued on Nov. 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles when he had 11 catches for 191 yards. “I’m the top receiver in this game,” he told reporters at the postgame press conference, via the team’s website. “There’s no question about it. If there is, I’ll see you again next week.” GIANTS QUARTERBACK’S DAD APPEARS UPSET WITH PLAY CALL AGAINST COWBOYS Lamb credited Dak Prescott with his ability to get him the ball and the offensive line for giving the star quarterback some time. Dallas beat New York, 49-17. “It’s amazing, especially when you come out with the dub,” he added. “Shoutout to the guys. O-line holding up, Dak feeding me, all of the receivers opening it up for me.

Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat representing what’s been a competitive U.S. House seat in Virginia, announced Monday that she’s running for governor of the state.  The third-term congresswoman will not seek re-election in 2024 for the House seat she held by 4.66 percentage points in 2022. She defeated Republican Dave Brat in 2018. Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who assumed office at the start of 2022, is barred by the state constitution from running for a second consecutive term in 2025.  “The greatest honor of my life has been to represent Virginians in the U.S. House. Today, I am proud to announce that I will be working hard to gain the support and trust of all Virginians to continue this service as the next Governor of Virginia,” Spanberger said in a statement.  “Virginia is where I grew up, where I am raising my own family, and where I intend to build a stronger future for the next generation of Virginians,” she continued. “As a former CIA case officer, former federal law enforcement officer, and current Member of Congress, I have always believed in the value of public service. I look forward to serving the Seventh District through the end of this term and then pursuing the important work of bringing Virginia together to keep our Commonwealth strong.” YOUNGKIN FALLS SHORT IN HIS MISSION TO WIN TOTAL GOP CONTROL OF VIRGINIA STATE LEGISLATURE In her gubernatorial campaign announcement video titled “What Matters Most,” Spanberger took aim at Republicans over abortion and “banning books.”  “Despite dangerous polarization, I have found ways to bring people together and focus on what really matters,” she said of her career in Congress, claiming to have provided support to veterans, small businesses and families and communities struggling with addiction.  “But today, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Our country and our Commonwealth are facing fundamental threats to our rights, our freedoms, and to our democracy. While some politicians in Richmond focus on banning abortion and books, what they’re not doing is helping people,” she said. “I know how to bring people together and get real things done that improve lives.” In Congress, Spanberger serves on the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the U.S. House Agriculture Committee.  Spanberger represents Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, a key swing seat in northern Virginia that will be up for election next year. Her decision not to seek reelection in the House could lead to a competitive Democratic primary in the 7th. A handful of Republican candidates have also already announced campaigns. The former CIA officer and law enforcement officer for the U.S. Postal Service won her first congressional race in a district that had been held by Republicans for almost 50 years. TOP TAKEAWAYS FROM ELECTION DAY 2023 AND WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE 2024 ELECTIONS The Commonwealth prohibits its governors from serving consecutive terms. That’s led to intense speculation about Youngkin’s next political move, as well as early jockeying in effective shadow campaigns for the chief executive’s office. As for other potential gubernatorial candidates, Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, a Democrat, is expected to announce campaign plans soon, according to The Associated Press.  Among Republicans, Attorney General Jason Miyares and Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears are widely seen in political circles as likely contenders. Neither has publicly committed to a run, and both have also said they were focused on this year’s legislative races. Outgoing Republican state Sen. Amanda Chase may also run. Chase, who lost a June primary and ran unsuccessfully for her party’s nomination for governor in 2021, said she’s ruled out running for the U.S. Senate next year and is contemplating another run for governor or lieutenant governor, characterizing the latter of those two as more likely. Last month, former Virginia House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn announced she would not run for governor in 2025 and will instead run next year to represent the competitive northern Virginia congressional seat being vacated by a fellow Democrat, U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The third of four inmates who escaped from a dilapidated jail in Georgia nearly a month ago has been captured, authorities said Sunday. Johnifer Dernard Barnwell, 37, was found inside a home in the 3000 block of Alpine Drive in Augusta just after 8 a.m., the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office said. Deputies and FBI agents also found large amounts of drugs inside the home during Barnwell’s capture, according to law enforcement. While FBI Atlanta says they have yet to test the substances, officials suspect them of being meth, fentanyl, heroine, marijuana and cocaine, FOX5 Atlanta reported. 40 INMATES DETAINED AFTER RIOT AT SOUTH CAROLINA DETENTION CENTER: SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT Barnwell was one of four inmates who broke out of the Bibb County Detention Center in Macon during the early morning hours of Oct. 16. The inmates are believed to have climbed out through a damaged day room window and cut through a fence before driving off in a waiting blue Dodge Challenger. The three other inmates were identified as 52-year-old Joey Fournier, 29-year-old Chavis Stokes, 24-year-old Marc K. Anderson. Stokes was captured at a home in Montezuma on Oct. 26, while Anderson was captured at the Huntley Apartments in Atlanta on Nov. 3. Fournier remains on the loose. He is described as a White male with gray hair, and blue eyes, standing 5 feet and 9 inches tall, and weighing 140 pounds. He was incarcerated for murder. VIRGINIA STATE UNIVERSITY POLICE OFFICER INJURED IN SHOOTING, SUSPECT AT LARGE Sheriff David Davis told reporters last month that the inmates broke out of the oldest section of the jail, which he said has many areas that are in disrepair. Davis also said the escape happened when fewer than 10 employees were working at the jail, which was holding about 800 inmates at the time. Davis previously warned that the inmates, three of whom have been in jail before, should all be considered dangerous. Authorities asked anyone with information about the whereabouts of Fournier to contact the FBI’s tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the United States Marshals Service at 1-877-WANTED2.
