Body in Lynn Harbor Sparks Identification Puzzle
Lynn police face two mysteries after a body found in Lynn harbor, previously thought to be Louis Haskell, is identified as a different man. Haskell, missing from Glenmere since last November, may not be the deceased, while relatives dispute the body’s size and the patch on clothes. The only ID in pockets is a Chinese laundry check, which does not match Haskell’s work history. Authorities work to determine the body’s true identity and Haskell’s whereabouts.
