Overview
- Michael Chadwick Fry, 41, was arrested March 18 and charged with two counts of abuse of a corpse after a video showed a bucket of bones thrown over the FBI’s Dallas field office fence.
- An FBI agent reported the bucket held bones that appeared human, and investigators say Fry also posted footage of himself at home with a skull he called “Elizabeth Virginia Lyon.”
- Police believe the skull and the bones from the bucket came from the same person, though the identity is unknown and lab analysis is in progress.
- The investigation now links to a stolen urn case in Oklahoma City and to evidence a coffin was removed from a Denton mausoleum, bringing in local police and the FBI.
- Fry remains in the Denton County Jail on a $30,000 bond, and records show prior arrests including a 2018 crash into Dallas TV station KDFW.
