North Texas Man Charged After Video Shows Bucket of Human Bones Thrown Over FBI Dallas Fence

Investigators used the suspect’s YouTube posts to track evidence across jurisdictions.

Overview

  • Michael Chadwick Fry, 41, faces two counts of abuse of a corpse plus a third-degree felony count of tampering with evidence.
  • Police say Fry filmed himself tossing a white bucket over the Dallas FBI field office fence; an agent reported it contained human bones now undergoing forensic testing.
  • Bartonville officers, with FBI support, arrested Fry at his home after tips from family and a review of his online videos.
  • Detectives linked the case to a damaged mausoleum at Denton’s IOOF Cemetery with remains missing, as well as an alleged urn theft investigated in Oklahoma City.
  • An affidavit says Fry showed a skull he called "Elizabeth Virginia Lyon," and his mother reported a U‑Haul request and cemetery searches that prompted the probe.
