It’s a grave situation.
A disturbed serial grave robber in Texas filmed himself throwing human remains over the fence at an FBI field office and then posted the video on YouTube, cops said.
Michael Chadwick Fry, 41, of Bartonville, Texas, said he was throwing the bucket of human bones to “summon” federal agents after stealing the remains from a mausoleum, according to the Bartonville Police Department.
He now faces two counts of abuse of a corpse and one count of tampering with evidence with intent to impair a human corpse, according to police.
Fry’s mother called police Monday after he went to her house and requested money for a U-Haul because he “had a body that needed to moved,” authorities said. He “became irate” at her over the phone call, leaving before cops arrived, according to an arrest warrant obtained by KDFW.
“Shortly thereafter, investigators received credible information from FBI Special Agents indicating that Fry had thrown a bucket containing human bones over the fence of the FBI Dallas Field Office,” according to the arrest warrant.
He shared evidence of his alleged crime by filming a video titled, “We send Elizabeth over the FBI fence to summon them by force” and posting it on YouTube, officials said.
In the video, Fry filmed himself speaking with a person behind a window outside the FBI office to seek a “status check” on an investigation about “what happened to me and my dead family and friends.”
After returning to his car, Fry is seen pulling a bucket containing the alleged remains out of the trunk and hurling them over a fence before driving off.
“There’s more videos coming. We’re going to take bones all over the place. I got more,” Fry said in the video as he drove away.
Fry allegedly stole an urn from a cemetery in Oklahoma City in February and raided a separate mausoleum in Denton, Texas, according to police.
He also searched for three cemeteries in Texas and Oklahoma on the GPS in his mother’s car.
He referred to the remains in the bucket as “Elizabeth Virginia Lyon,” according to the affidavit.
Authorities are carrying out DNA tests to identify the bones.
Fry has a lengthy rap sheet, according to the police.
In 2018, he drove his car into the KDFW studios in downtown Dallas, leaving behind a bright orange duffel bag that prompted a bomb squad response.
He was reportedly upset that cops had shot his friend.
Fry is currently in the Denton County Jail on $30,000 bond.
