Twenty-six years ago, 3-year-old Aaron Fraser told a caseworker his dad had shot his mom.
“I picked up the coconut object and it ended up being the top portion of her skull,” he said. “I had it in my hand. …. Looked back in the hole and you could see teeth. At that point in time, you could see the top portion of her eye sockets.”
Those remains led police to reopen the case and eventually arrest Michael Haim, now on trial for allegedly killing his then 23-year-old wife Bonnie Haim, who went missing in January 1993.

But with no body or other leads in the 23-year-old woman’s disappearance in the midst of what prosecutors said was a contentious marriage (Bonnie had been threatening a separation), the case remained unsolved for more than two decades.
In 2014, during renovation at that property, Fraser lifted a concrete slab while trying to reach a water leak under an outdoor shower in the backyard, and found a skull and other human remains that led police to reopen their investigation.
