Man’s Bizarre Stunt: Tosses Human Bones at FBI to Attract Attention After Mausoleum Heist

A man in Texas is accused of tossing a bucket filled with human bones over a fence at the FBI’s Dallas field office. His alleged intention was to “summon” federal agents, following his theft of the remains from a mausoleum. The incident was reportedly shared on YouTube.

Michael Chadwick Fry is now facing serious charges, including two counts of corpse abuse and one count of tampering with evidence related to a human corpse, as per the Bartonville Police Department.

The bizarre series of events began unfolding when Fry approached his mother at her home in Bartonville, about 30 miles from Dallas, seeking financial help to rent a U-Haul. He reportedly told her he needed the vehicle because he “had a body that needed to be moved.” According to an arrest affidavit obtained by local Fox affiliate KDFW, Fry became agitated and left before law enforcement could intervene.

Shortly afterward, investigators received reliable information from FBI special agents. They indicated that Fry had indeed hurled a bucket with human bones over the FBI office’s fence, local police reported.

Adding to the strangeness, Fry allegedly recorded his actions and uploaded the footage to a YouTube channel named “Fry and Berto news! Where we reveal mass killers,” making it relatively easy for authorities to track his activities.

The four-and-a-half-minute video is titled “We send Elizabeth over the FBI fence to summon them by force.” He spoke 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.”

The person behind the window gave him a website and phone number where he could submit digital evidence and tips. Fry seemed dissatisfied after he walked away.

“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,” said Fry, who was wearing a T-shirt with a news article emblazoned on the front titled “Driver shot by Denton County deputy during traffic stop dies.”

Fry opened the trunk of his car where he pulled out a bucket that contained the alleged remains, walked over to the fence and hurled it over before returning to his car.

“There’s more videos coming,” Fry promised as he drove away. “We’re going to take bones all over the place. I got more.”

He then asked people to like the video and subscribe to his channel.

According to cops, Fry also took videos showing human remains and an urn of ashes at his mother’s home. Detectives determined that Fry allegedly stole the urn from a cemetery in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in February.

“Additionally, FBI agents located evidence at a cemetery in Denton, Texas, indicating that a coffin containing human remains had been removed from a mausoleum,” cops wrote.

The affidavit reportedly says that Fry referred to the remains in the bucket as “Elizabeth Virginia Lyon.” Authorities are completing DNA testing to identify the bones.

Investigators also reportedly found that Fry searched for three cemeteries in Texas and Oklahoma on the GPS in his mother’s car.

Fry is no stranger to attention-grabbing antics. In 2018, he slammed his car into the KDFW studios and left behind a suspicious bright orange duffel bag that prompted the bomb squad to respond. He was reportedly upset about cops shooting his friend.

The defendant is currently in the Denton County Jail on a $30,000 bond.
