A Texas man, Michael Chadwick Fry, is charged with two counts of abuse of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence after he allegedly threw stolen human bones over the fence of the FBI Dallas office. Fry posted a video on YouTube titled “We send Elizabeth over the FBI fence to summon them by force,” showing him throwing a bucket of remains onto the property, according to court documents and police reports.
Fry was booked into Denton County jail on Wednesday and later released on a $30,000 surety bond. His mother alerted Bartonville Police after he asked her for money to rent a U-Haul, claiming he needed to move “a body.” She also reported multiple GPS searches for cemeteries in Texas and Oklahoma and discovered a new shovel at her home. Fry’s sister provided police with the video evidence of him tossing the remains.
Bartonville police confirmed Fry previously stole an urn from Oklahoma City and a coffin from a Denton mausoleum. Another YouTube video reviewed by police showed Fry at home holding a human skull, which he identified as “Elizabeth Virginia Lyon,” believed to be connected to the remains thrown over the FBI fence.
Denton County jail records show Fry has at least 31 prior arrests dating back to 2003 for offenses including assault, arson, terroristic threats, drug charges, and public intoxication. Fry has also been involved in notable incidents, including crashing a truck into a Dallas news station in 2018 as a protest against a 2012 police shooting in Denton County.
