Status Solved
Incident Location Duval County
L.E.A Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Jacksonville, Florida

May 2019 - Bonnie Haim's husband, Michael, was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife. After the 23-year-old went missing in January 1993, her husband was almost immediately the police’s prime suspect. That only intensified after their 3-year-old son, Aaron, told a child investigator that “Daddy hurt Mommy.” Aaron Fraser was adopted by another family, and he would later win a wrongful death lawsuit against his father, giving Fraser ownership over his parents’ home. Then in 2014, when he returned to that home to excavate parts of the backyard, he found his mother’s skull, re-opening a police investigation that would lead to his father’s arrest and eventual conviction.
