In cases like Bonnie Haim’s, those closest to the victim are the ones investigated first. It’s also common for the spouse to be a suspect, and that was true for Michael Haim. Authorities interviewed Aaron Fraser — Michael and Bonnie’s son — who was 3 years old when his mother disappeared. At that time, Fraser reportedly said, “Daddy hurt her,” which prompted investigators to look into Michael further, per Oxygen. However, authorities couldn’t easily arrest Michael, as there was no evidence that he committed a crime, and furthermore, no one could prove that Bonnie was, indeed, dead.
Despite little evidence, many people, including Michael’s own aunt Eveann, insisted that Michael had something to do with Bonnie’s disappearance. “Bonnie, I’m sorry to say, is gone. She’s not alive. If she was alive and had one ounce of life in her, she would have contacted someone,” Eveann said at that time (via Medium). Michael claimed that he was innocent and had nothing to do with his wife’s disappearance. With no leads and no pieces of evidence that could lead to an arrest, Bonnie’s case went cold.
