Disappearance of Bonnie Haim

23-year-old beautiful lady Bonnie Haim from Jacksonville, Florida worked in the office of her husband Michael's aunt construction supply company. Michael's aunt told the family that he was verbally and physically abusive towards Bonnie at the job. Bonnie's family explained that by 1993, she intended to divorce Michael. Bonnie opened a different bank account in her name, which she kept hidden by having the statements delivered to her office. Michael later discovered and threatened Bonnie to close the bank account, but she was still thinking of divorcing him. She left money with a friend without Michael's awareness and placed a deposit on a new flat for herself and their 3-year-old son Aaron. She also had him enrolled in a new preschool. 

Bonnie went back home at 7:30 pm on January 6th, 1993. She was planned to meet Michael's aunt at 8 pm but called her at 8:30 pm and informed she would not be joining her as scheduled. After this call, Bonnie disappeared and no one saw him again. Michael's aunt became worried when neither he nor Bonnie appeared for the job the next morning. Michael told that Bonnie left after a disagreement but did not learn where she went and searched for her. He declared he was sick as to why he didn't arrive for the job. Bonnie's bag was discovered in a dumpster behind a motel 5 miles from her house on January 7th. Authority understands robbery was not the reason for Bonnie's disappearance, as her wallet, credit cards, cheques, and other private things were still inside the bag. Bonnie's car was found abandoned a short time later at Jacksonville International Airport. No evidence of Bonnie was discovered, but authority discovered a shoe print inside the car that matched a different brand of athletic shoe that Michael reportedly wore.

Michael defends his innocence in Bonnie's disappearance and announced that she simply packed up her life and left him. Their son Aaron, who was 3 years old at the time, talked to a child psychologist and provided an account of his mother's killing which he allegedly observed. He told that he saw his father shoot Bonnie to death and was asked to help him hide her corpse. In September of 2004, Michael was found responsible for Bonnie's wrongful death and was charged to pay $26.3 million in damages, including $15.3 million to Aaron and $1 million to Bonnie's property. Aaron's statement was the crux of the murder. The governing judge ordered that Michael was emotionally harsh towards his son and committed violence against Bonnie in front of him that resulted in psychological harm. Michael did not appear in court to testify on his behalf. Bonnie was announced legally dead in 1999 and Michael's parental rights were canceled shortly after. Aaron was sent to live with his mother's family. They do not expect to receive the full 26.3 million dollars owed by Michael in the case. 

Discovery:

 When Aaron Fraser started digging behind his childhood residence in Jacksonville, Florida, as part of a renovation in 2014, he made a gruesome discovery: human remains.

They were the head and bones of his mother, Bonnie Haim, who had disappeared in January 1993 and whose corpse had not been discovered.

Prosecutors told that discovery guided officials to catch her then-husband, Michael Haim, and charge him with second-degree murder.
