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.
