Crime Stories with Nancy Grace - IT'S WAR: War, Hollywood Brat Dismembers Wife And In-laws, New Money Fight

Episode Date: January 4, 2026

A new investigation into the case of Samuel Haskell IV, the son of former Hollywood agent Samuel Haskell Sr. He was accused of murdering his wife and in-laws in November 2023. Now, new entities claim they are owed hundreds of thousands of dollars from the estate. The "money claims" in news reports relate to the financial situation of the household, specifically that Haskell's wife was the primary financial provider and paid the majority of the family's expenses, including a $7,000 monthly mortgage, while he was allegedly unemployed or underemployed. Key details regarding the financial aspects and the case suggest that the victim, Mei Li Haskell, worked multiple jobs and was the main earner for the family, supporting her husband, their three children, and her parents, who lived with them. The case never went to trial. Samuel Haskell Jr. died by suicide in his jail cell in July 2025, days before his preliminary hearing was set to begin. The origins of the case stem from a group of day laborers hired by Sam Haskell IV to remove three bags of what they are told are rocks from his garage. 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 that what they actually saw were Halloween props. The men drove immediately to the police. The men try to report what they have seen to the 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, the police receive another call about human remains. A homeless man, digging through the dumpster looking for recyclables, finds human remains. Inside the dumpster, the LAPD found a torso in a bag. The investigation provided detectives with enough information to lead them to Samuel Haskell IV's residence.

This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. War. That's right. It's war. All because a Hollywood agent's Nepo son dismembered his wife and in-laws. Now, various entities coming out of the woodwork claiming, hey, I want money. I'm Nancy Grace. This is crime stories. I want to thank you for being

with us. I'm sure the name Sam Haskell rings a bell. Haskell was a son of a powerful and wealthy Hollywood agent who represented the likes of Dolly Parton and more. The son spoiled brat, murdered and dismembered his wife and his in-laws. That would be Sam Haskell. Maylee Haskell, the wife, had her own business going. Now, a man claiming to be her business partner has emerged, claiming he wants hundreds of thousands of dollars from the couple's estate. Okay, first of all, let's talk about Mayley Haskell and her very loving. mother and father who moved to the U.S. to help her take care of her children with Sam Haskell who did nothing but make TikTok videos all day long. What is wrong with rich people? Okay, this is

what happened. Someone discovers a female torso in a dumpster. It doesn't take California police very long to track the torso to one person, the son of a famous Hollywood agent. the son, Sam Haskell. Not only is his wife missing, but so are his in-laws. Take a listen to this. Police said they got a call from one of Sam Haskell's neighbors who reported seeing suspicious bags outside the Tarzana home, and the bags appear to have body parts in them, LAPD Detective Eiff from Gutierrez.

The radio call on November 7th at about 5.30 p.m. involve a suspicious bag that possibly contained a human remains when the officers responded. Nothing was located. Even though nothing was located, an investigation was launched. This is what we know. The original call to police we first thought was from neighbors, but now it appears to be from some construction workers in the area. What a twisted story.

Listen. The men try to report what they've seen to the police, but are turned away. Twice. The men went to the highway patrol station first, but we're told they had 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. Okay. I've got an all-star panel to make sense of what we know right now about three missing people and a woman's torso. show that has been found in a dumpster there in L.A.

But first to Alexis Tereschuk joining me from this jurisdiction, crime online.com investigative reporter. Alexis, thank you for being with us. So, I mean, bottom line, Alexis, police and not one, but two locations send these citizens trying to report what they think is a bag of body parts on a wild goose chase, a scavenger hunt, so to speak. They do.

They went, they had these trash bags. They thought, oh my gosh, this is not something normal. This is probably body parts. We think this is what it is. They go to a police station. The police say, well, where did you get these bags from? Oh, you got it from this house over there. You need to go to that jurisdiction.

Didn't look at the bags, nothing at all. Probably didn't even believe them. So they send it to the next place. And they're like, yeah, you got to call 911. You know, this is right out of a movie. Let me go to Chris McDonough joining me. Director of the Cold Case Foundation, former homicide detective, host of a YouTube channel, The Interview Room, where I found him.

Chris McDonough, have you ever seen Home Alone? Yes. Okay. I know, you know where I'm going, where the mom calls, I believe this must have been Home Alone, too, where she calls from Paris, and she gets sent to one person, and then they knock on the wall, and they send the phone to the next person, and back, and forth, and back, and fourth, she never gets the right police officer and finally starts calling neighbors. I know that is a funny, a comical example of what we're talking about, but really, these people

are trying to report a bag of human body parts and they get sent on a wild goose chase. I tell you what, if I were the police chief, which of course I'm not, I would totally clean a house over who chose not to take a report on a bag of body parts, Chris McDonough. Yeah, and I can bet you, Nancy, you're 100% right. This is right out of a Hollywood horror movie and that police chief Moore, Michael Moore, who's LAPD chief now, he's going to be questioning a lot of folks. Well, I hope he does more than question them. I mean, you get a call about body parts.

You better go like grease lightning to investigate, and that delay costs the case a lot of time and possibly a lot of evidence. Let's move forward. Listen. LAPD detective Eiff from Gutierrez says early the next morning, police received another call about human remains. The caller was a homeless man.

They was digging through the dumpster to look for recyclables and discovered what he believed to be a human remains. All that was recovered was the torso, but there were clues in the bag. Just from a visual inspection, the stage of the decomposition were relatively early, so no more than a day or two. Okay, I'm glad that an untrained cop can look in and tell me the level of decomposition, but actually he may be right. You know, let me go to Troy Slayton, high-profile criminal defense attorney joining us out of this jurisdiction, L.A., you know, if there were any, Where else, I would just assume they were the same body parts, but in L.A., they could be entirely a different set of body parts. But logically speaking, Troy Slayton, do you think they could then add 2 plus 2 equals?

These are the same set of body parts as we got reported yesterday? Well, the coroner and medical examiner, which are the same here in Los Angeles, they're going to start having to piece these things back together. So the body parts that were recovered by these construction workers and whatever was found by this homeless person, it's not going to take very long for them to decide if that's the same body part. And the robbery homicide division of LAPD, which is the most elite squad in the LAPD, is going to be investigating and try and put two and two together. Dr. Michelle Dupre is joining me, forensic pathologist, medical examiner, former detective, author of money, mischief, and murder, the Murdoog saga, the rest of the story

on Amazon, and she literally wrote the book, The Homicide Investigation Field Guide, Dr. Dupree, we're all talking about bags of body parts, but to this victim or victim's family, the discussion of body parts, that is their loved one. That is their daughter. sister, their mom, their dad, their grandpa, that we're talking about, body parts, body parts. You're absolutely right, Nancy. These are somebody's family. They are, you know, I'm obviously very upset about this, and it's a tragic thing to find. No, it's not just the shock ultimately learning that you have lost someone you love, possibly, that you love more than anything else in the world.

but then finding out that they are a crime victim, a murder victim, and then to find out that they have been dismembered, that their dead body has been defiled in such a horrible, horrible way. To Dr. Gary Procato, clinical psychologist, author of The New Evil, Understanding the Emergence of Modern Violent Crime, Now that is a read. Dr. Burkato, that's a lot for one person to take in. I mean, I remember when my fiancé was murdered. At first, I just assumed that there had been a car crash.

And then I found out he was murdered. And frankly, I don't remember a whole lot after that. But to then learn that someone dismembered the person you love more than anything else in the world, I don't know how do you make a comeback after that? It's extremely difficult because a person would have to make some kind of meaning out of what it is that happened in their life, some kind of existential or spiritual meaning,

and to try to go out in the world and battle that kind of darkness so that other people don't have to experience it. And people that I've worked with who have been victims of violent crime, it seems to be the only way that they're able to make any sense of purpose out of it. What is happening? One set of remains found or spotted outside of home. Police finally get there after sending the civilian informant on a wild goose chase. When they get there, no more remains.

It's gone. They don't execute a search warrant. They do nothing claiming they don't have enough evidence to execute a search warrant in the home. The next day, it's reported that there is. a female torso found in a dumpster. Let's pick it up right there. Take a list of our friends at Crime Online. The LAPD says that when they process the scene

where the torso in the bag were found in a dumpster, the investigation provided detectives with information that led them to the residents of Samuel Haskell. Sam Haskell the 4th. Who is that? Listen. Sam Haskell the 4th is the son of Sam Haskell the 3rd, an Emmy Award-winning producer who was a high-profile agent with Hollywood's William Morris Talent Agency,

where he represented A-list stars like George Clooney, Whoopi Goldberg, Dolly Parton, and many others. Haskell the fourth lists himself as a director and posted several clips online of low-budget videos he wrote and filmed. Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hill star Brandy Glanville appears in one of the clips for a movie which appears to be a high school teen drama. I'm stories with Nancy Grace. Businessman, Alex Dorian, is suing, claiming he is owed nearly half a million dollars after he says he provided money for a short-lived partnership with Maylee Haskell,

according to a complaint. Well, he can't get anything out of Maylee because she was murdered. This is what happened. So Sam Haskell, the fourth, is the son of a high-powered talent agent, who was known as the, quote, good guy of Hollywood. The dad, Haskell 3, was the CEO, I believe, of the Miss America pageant for many, many years, has, I think, still working with Dolly Parton in her Magnolia productions.

I mean, the dad is renowned. In fact, I think he was the worldwide head of TV work for William Morris. Do I have that right? Haskell 3. The father. He was, but he was the head of the pageants. He was, he separated from the pageant organization about a year ago. Right, over a dispute regarding some emails.

But then that leads me to the son, Haskell 4. Now, from what I understand, this guy, Haskell 4 has directed a few things, including working with TIGA and Machine Gun Kelly. But he never reached the level of his father's fame. Is that right? Correct. not in any way, shape, or form. And he mostly put things on social media where he would do videos, you know, on TikTok.

Wait a minute. I'm so glad you said that. Let's take a listen to Sam Haskell for the fourth on social media, his TikTok. This is our cut 14. Like my resume says unhappy, bitter, resentful. Now I'm consistently never going to stop drinking. Shouts out to the waiter at the restaurant above Nordstroms for just like completely burning out of my fillet.

Like what kind of a monster are you, homie? What? What, Cindy, can I hear that again? Like my resume says unhappy, bitter, resentful. Now I'm consistently never going to stop drinking. Shouts out to the waiter at the restaurant above Nordstroms for just like completely burning nudgem. Out of my filet, like, what kind of a monster are you, homie? Okay, this guy, Sam Haskell, the fourth, is living in a nearly $3 million home in Tarzana, which is a really beautiful area around L.A.

He's got an enclosed backyard, I've seen it myself, with a gorgeous pool, a play area. for his children, the works. It's a sixth bedroom home, and he is whining that he's unhappy, bitter, and resentful. He's never going to stop drinking. Thanks for sharing. And complaining that the waiter at the restaurant on top of Nordstrom's, I guess it's at the Topanga Mall, I'm not sure. Nordstrom's, which is a really expensive department store, burned his filet mignon.

Wait, am I, okay, Alexis, tell me about this area because I've seen it and it's really beautiful. It is. Tarzana is part of Los Angeles County. It's a little bit away from downtown. It's in the valley. But it's so it's beautiful, lush green homes, you know, very spaced out, not right on top of each other at all. You know, tree-lined streets, really good schools around there. Nice areas for your kids to play.

nice, you know, restaurants and malls where you could take your kids, parks, you know, the dumpster, everything is right near a park, just a lovely area that for somebody who doesn't seem to work, you would think probably maybe his parents bought this very expensive home for him. And they just moved there in December of 2020. So in the middle of the pandemic, they moved. And joining me right now is a special guest. It is El Benamy. Thank you for being with us. We're all trying to figure out what exactly is happening. You are a friend and neighbor of May and Sam Haskell, the fourth. What can you tell us about them?

So they moved to the neighborhood, like you said, in December 2020, January 2021 during the pandemic. And from the beginning, I did think that they were, it struck me that they were very different, Sam and May. he was she's extremely outgoing right when she moved in here she came around and she introduced herself and she wanted to make plans with us and the kids and he was not not like that he would you know say hello if if I saw him on the street maybe kind of like nod his head he would he would smile so he was outwardly friendly but in the I guess three years that he lived next to us I never actually had a conversation with him

but with May it was very different I had many many long conversations with her took many long walks and can't say the same for him question you spent time with May and I know that May lived in the home with her parents ages 72 and 64 what was she like

May was just a very, very sweet person, very generous, very sweet, very caring, would kind of get excited about small things, kind of a bit in like a, I guess, like a childlike way, which was very endearing. She loved to be around people. She threw many parties. She was very dedicated, dedicated to her three boys and always threw them. really amazing birthday parties really went all out. She, you know, threw parties for Chinese New Year. And she always loved to make plans, make sure, you know, her boys have a lot of things planned out. And also took them to many extracurricular activities after school, from music to sport to, you know, advance

mess and so on. Okay, that is a mom that cares. I mean, I've been there, and I know the ages of her children, her three boys. You're constantly in the road taking one to music or this one to gymnastics or this one to soccer or whatever it is that they latch on to that they like. What was her relationship with Haskell for? So I will say that she never really discussed her relationship with him with me. Um, but just from observing them, um, I would say that they, they weren't close.

They didn't have a, um, anywhere near a close, you know, a close relationship, I would definitely not call it that, never seen them be affectionate with each other. Um, they never went on date night. She never mentioned them going on a date. I never observed them going out anywhere together. Um, they didn't go on vacations together. Uh, so she would go on vacation with her children and her parents. and he typically went on solo trips, I think, typically to Japan.

According to May, some of them were work-related for filming. They both, for example, like to take walks in the neighborhood. I never saw them take a walk together. You know, that's really interesting, Elle. Guys, you're hearing a friend and neighbor of May and Sam Haskell the 4th. Troy Sleiton, I'm just trying to imagine this. Nancy, that's something very important. I love to take walks with my spouse here in beautiful Los Angeles.

But he lived with his in-laws, too. And I'm not making any kind of excuse. But people sometimes in that situation feel trapped. They feel that there are no boundaries. And starting to think about what, some of the defenses might be psychologically for him. Did he live with his in-laws? Are you kidding me?

I've got my 92-year-old mother with us, okay? And you know who's the very sweetest to her? My husband. If he feels trapped, he hasn't said so. That's nice, but a lot of people suffer tremendous psychological stress from living with their in-laws. Okay. Well, I can't wait to see how that goes over.

Was that you, Elle, about to say something? Yeah, I was going to say that May's parents, they were, I mean, of course, I don't know what went on inside their home, but from what I could see, they seemed to be extremely helpful. Anytime I observed them with the children, they always, both of them were actively, you know, chasing after them, helping. her mom cooked a lot, I think, pretty much daily for them and for the kids. When May through birthday parties, it was not Sam that helped in any way, it was her parents. Even though they didn't speak English, they were constantly actively helping.

And, you know, and her mom had suffered a stroke prior to COVID. and so she does use or she does use the cane to walk that didn't stop her from being always on her feet and helping. You know, just thinking about the dynamic you're telling us, but I want to circle back very quickly to something Alexis Torres-Chuk was reporting earlier. I want to go back to these day laborers, the construction workers. Take a listen to our cut too from Dave Mack. 25 miles west of downtown Los Angeles in an area,

once owned by famed author Edgar Rice Burroughs and named for his famous character Tarzan, Tarzana is in the San Fernando Valley and has become a popular place for celebrities and those in the entertainment world to call home. It's also where Sam Haskell paid a group of day laborers $500 to holloway three large trash bags that were in his garage. Speaking to NBC for Los Angeles, the workers said Haskell told them the bags were full of rocks, but the workers said when they picked up the bags, they felt like there was meat inside. Realizing what they were carrying wasn't rocks, the workers pulled over about a block from Haskell's house to look inside the bag. Opening the bags, the men knew they'd been tricked. And more, listen. The men described the bags

to NBC4 as soft and soggy, and each weighing about 50 pounds. A block away from Haskell's house, the workers open up the bags and said they started seeing body parts, specifically a belly button. The men said they felt bad they'd been tricked, so they drove back to Haskell's house and left the bags in the driveway and gave Haskell his $500 back. Haskell played it off, telling the workers what they actually saw were Halloween props. Not believing Haskell, the men drove immediately to the police. Okay, Alexis Torreschuk, crime online.com, investigative reporter, joining us from L.A. What? So he hired some men, day laborers. You go to maybe Home Depot or somewhere like that.

You say, hey, guys, I've got some heavy things in my house. house. These men are usually big strong men and they have trucks. They come to your house. So that's what they did. They took the bags and he said, oh, they're rocks. Well, rocks are really heavy and they don't move, but you can't squish them. But these bags were heavy and squishy. And the guys, their description was it felt like meat. So they were, you know, like a huge chunk of meat, squishy, but still a little solid. They looked in the bags. They saw what it was. And what they specifically described was they saw a belly button. So the torso from, you know, above your waist, below your chest, below your neck. And that was horrific. So they took the bags back.

The guy gave them their money. They gave the money back. And then they went to the police. They go to the first police station they can find. The police said, well, that's not actually our jurisdiction. Mine either to this other police station or call 911. These guys come in with, sure, it's a little bit of a wild story, but you should investigate this. This is really, they're not telling you anything that is out of the norm in Los Angeles. Everything you're saying, I believe is correct, but what's jumping out at me is changing his story. First, the bag is full of rocks. Yeah.

Then he says, oh, those are just Halloween props, even though it looks like human body parts. An actual human body. And then the next thing, we know, a bag of human body parts turns out. up in a dumpster, but let me take it back. Joining me is a neighbor of May and Sam Haskell the fourth, May the mother of three little boys by Haskell. El, question, what if anything did you hear the previous night? So I was not home the previous night, but my daughter, She actually texted it to us that night. She heard what she thought was the youngest boy from their house or perhaps from the yard, shout, hello, hello, help.

And then she heard a car door slam and loud screeching, I guess, of the car drove off. Okay, hold on. Could you slow that down and tell me one more time? Okay, so my daughter texted us at around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, the night before the torso was found, um, that she heard what she believed, uh, to be, uh, the Haskell's youngest boy, um, uh, coming to basically maybe from the house or from the yard, um, call out hello, hello, and then help. And then she heard a car door slam really hard and, uh, screeching sound, allowed screeching as it drove off.

And joining me now is Dr. Trace Sergeant. Search, Rescue, and Recovery Expert, Ph.D. in Psychology, focused on victimology. Star of a podcast, The Seekers' Quest. Dr. Sargent, thank you for being with us. You look specifically at predatory behavior. What do you make of someone that not only commits murder, but then dismembers the body? Well, Nancy, we look at several things, but I'd like to go back to Sam Hassels, the fourth's comments on social media. That in itself tells us a lot when we're looking at it from a criminal profile perspective, behavioral analysis, psychological analysis.

And what is glaring to me is that he perceives himself as the victim. And I would not be surprised when this case and this story moves forward that he presents himself as the victim and maybe even go as far as blaming the circumstances that led to the death of his wife and probably his in-laws that it was somehow their fault, not his fault. He will not take accountability or responsibility for his action. Do you agree with that, Dr. Bracotto? Well, I have a few things to say about this case, and I think in some ways I'm sort of uniquely suited to look at it because it touches on two areas that have been major ones for me in my research. First of all, dismemberment and mutilation need to be distinguished. I worked with Dr. Anne Burgess, Dr. Victor Petrake, Michael Stone, Dr. Michael Stone, and came with. we came up with definitions to distinguish those offenses.

It's important for people to understand the dismemberment, according to our work, really means the destruction or removal of a large part of the body, the torso, the arms, hand, pelvis, legs, or feet. And any destruction or elimination of a smaller part thereof of any, you know, would be mutilation. And the reason it's important is there are differences in the psychology and motives of people according to which of those things

they're doing. But it sounds like here, we don't know how much butchery there was, but this sounds like dismemberment offense. And with dismemberment, we found in our research that the vast majority of offenders are doing that to get rid of body parts because of concern about capture. The outside, you know, looking in makes it seem like it's some kind of bizarre, psychotic, crazy thing to do. But the reality is it's a pretty organized thing to do that's done by a person that's trying to clean up after they've eliminated people. Now, the other thing that I can

kind of put some of a unique position here is I know that, you know, there's been a charge that this man has killed not only this woman but her parents, which would place him in the category of mass murder. When I was at Columbia Medical Center, I led the largest study ever done of mass murder. And what I can tell you is that in order to know the motives of a person who commits mass murder, we have to know what was used to kill. If a gun is used, there's a very low likelihood that the person was seriously disturbed or mentally ill. If something else was used, like a knife, then we start thinking that this was an individual who was unwell in some way. The statistics becomes much more probable that the person was disturbed.

If they use a knife, is that what you said? Yes, the use of a knife would be more of a giveaway that you were dealing with somebody that would be authentically odd, interpersonally, a little more kind of unwell. Right. Are you saying insane? Not insane, just odd. Odd. For example, the individual might be paranoid or a little bit aggressive. Are you talking about someone that kills Andes members with a knife? Talking about someone who commits mass murder using a knife. Well, doesn't it go without saying that they're odd?

Well, when I say odd, I don't mean odd because you've committed murder or anything like that. I mean odd that even at baseline, the person would say peculiar things would be a little bit kind of odd to the average individual, hot-headed, a little paranoid, a little peculiar. And that matches what we're hearing in that weird recording from TikTok and some of these stories about the. detachment and the coldness between the members of the family. Now, what's interesting about this is when we see these kinds of cases where, you know, there's been this explosive potential killing of a family and then there's dismemberment, there's usually one of two reasons. It happens. One is elimination murder, as I term it, which is where the idea is to simply get rid of them because they are an impediment to something. Like, for example, I want to have a new romance or I am

trying to get my hands on some money, the other that you see is some kind of domestic matter that causes an emotional disruption and somebody in an absolute rage kills someone and then has to kill everyone who has witnessed it in the family. So that what I would suppose if it turns out that this is indeed a mass murder followed by dismemberment was that there was some kind of hot-headed, angry, odd person who became enraged or had a motive to get rid of these people, did so, and then attempted in a clumsy, weird way to hide it. And the reason it's so odd and the stories are ridiculous is often that the person is odd and lacks that kind of interpersonal empathy to kind of pick up that people would think

these stories were weird. Let's go back to the Haskell's neighbor, L. Benamy. L. Question, I know you spent a good bit of time with May. Do you have any knowledge of Haskell having a fixation on martial arts and kept samurai swords and crossbows in the home? Yeah. So I did notice that about him. I know that she mentioned that he would direct or produce martial arts related movies or videos or that he would go on martial arts trips to Japan. I believe, and I don't know why I remember this, but I seem to recall that he may have a black belt or a couple of black belts in different martial arts. And then I did know about they're having various weapons in the house, such as swords and samurai swords. I believe a crossbow firearm. So that's definitely something that stayed very top of mind for me as a mama four living next door.

Did her maize children tell your children about all the weapons to the point you did not want your children alone at their home upstairs? Yes, so they did mention that to my kids at several points about, let's say, a samurai sword or pointing up to where supposedly a specific firearm was kept. So that made me very nervous about them going upstairs to one of the bedrooms. I did, of course, I trust me, and I did really like her three boys. So I was happy for them to play with my kids. I just didn't wonder to be any accident. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Now, this guy, this business.

businessman, Dorian, has filed a complaint against Maylee's estate, claiming he's owed half a million dollars, and he's suing the estate's representative, Jody Montgomery, who once served as Britney Spears' personal conservator. What proof does he have he fronted Maylee money? Shouldn't this money go to their orphans? Okay, their orphans have enough to deal with, May Lee's sons, she raised under these horrendous conditions with Haskell running around the house loose. They will forever have to live with the knowledge their mother was murdered, possibly when they were in the home. Oh, yes, one day they're going to go on the Internet and find out everything. In recent court documents, a guy claims that May Lee, Sam Haskell's widow, that he murdered, verbally agreed to Lynn.

agreed to accept money lent to her by the plaintiff for the purchasing loan to her by the plaintiff for construction and mortgage payments on her home. Is there a legal document supporting this, or was it an oral contract? He claims that May told him she was to buy the property with the intention of flipping it, selling it for a profit. Is that true? Well, Maley won't be able to testify because she was murdered. This is what happened. We wait.

Nancy Grace, signing off, unfolds. Goodbye, friend. Nancy Grace signing off. Goodbye, friend. This is an I-Heart podcast, Guaranteed Human.
