Michael Chadwick Fry allegedly hurled a bucket containing human bones over the fence at the FBI Dallas Field Office to 'summon' agents, after stealing remains from a mausoleum. He filmed the act and posted it to YouTube. Fry faces charges of abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence.
A Texas man, Michael Chadwick Fry, is accused of throwing a bucket of human bones over the fence at the FBI field office in Dallas to compel federal agents to investigate matters related to his family and friends. According to the Bartonville Police Department, Fry faces two counts of abuse of a corpse and one count of tampering with evidence with intent to impair a human corpse. He is held in Denton County Jail on a $30,000 bond. The incident came to light after Fry's mother called police on Monday, reporting that her son visited her home in Bartonville, about 30 miles northwest of Dallas, and asked for money to rent a U-Haul to move a body. Fry left irately before officers arrived. Soon after, FBI special agents informed investigators that Fry had tossed the bucket over the fence at their Dallas office. Fry documented the event in a four-and-a-half-minute YouTube video on his channel 'Fry and Berto news! Where we reveal mass killers,' titled 'We send Elizabeth over the FBI fence to summon them by force.' In the video, he approached a window at the FBI office for a 'status check' on an investigation, received a website and phone number for submitting tips, then expressed frustration. 'So there you have it, and stay tuned, because we're about to throw some human remains over the fence and force the investigation, because I still can't seem to get anyone to do their job,' Fry said, wearing a T-shirt featuring a news article about a fatal police shooting. He retrieved a bucket labeled 'Elizabeth Virginia Lyon' from his car trunk, threw it over the fence, and drove off, promising, 'There's more videos coming. We're going to take bones all over the place. I got more.' Police videos show human remains and an urn of ashes at his mother's home; the urn was stolen from an Oklahoma City cemetery in February. A coffin was removed from a mausoleum at a Denton, Texas, cemetery, and Fry's mother's car GPS showed searches for three cemeteries in Texas and Oklahoma. Authorities are conducting DNA testing on the bones. Fry has a history of bold actions: in 2018, he crashed his car into KDFW studios and left a suspicious bag, upset over police shooting his friend.
