In a bizarre and unsettling case, a Texas man has been arrested after posting a YouTube video in which he throws a bucket of human bones over a fence at the FBI Dallas office. The disturbing footage is part of an investigation into Michael Chadwick Fry, who is accused of abusing a corpse and tampering with evidence.
The Disturbing Incident
On Monday, Michael Chadwick Fry, 41, posted a video titled “We send Elizabeth over the FBI fence to summon them by force” on YouTube. The video showed Fry tossing a bucket containing what was later confirmed to be human bones over the fence at the FBI Dallas office. This video led to Fry’s arrest and charges for two counts of abuse of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence.
Allegations of Body Theft and Disturbing Behavior
Fry’s mother initially contacted Bartonville Police after an alarming interaction with her son. According to the arrest affidavit, Fry had requested money from her to rent a U-Haul truck, claiming he had a body that needed to be moved.
Fry’s mother reported that her son became irate after she refused to assist him, and she also discovered searches for cemeteries on her car’s GPS, one in Texas and two in Oklahoma. Additionally, she found a new shovel in her home, raising suspicions about his intentions.
Fry’s sister further contributed to the investigation by informing the police about the YouTube video. The video showed Fry allegedly throwing a bucket of “Elizabeth’s remains” over the FBI fence. Upon review, the FBI confirmed that the bucket contained human bones.
Investigation Uncovers More Disturbing Details
A second video, titled “Fry and Barto news! Where we reveal mass killers,” showed Fry at his home holding a human skull. Fry allegedly identified the skull as belonging to “Elizabeth Virginia Lyon,” leading authorities to believe it was related to the remains thrown over the FBI Dallas fence. Investigators also discovered Fry’s involvement in stealing an urn of ashes from Oklahoma City and a coffin from a mausoleum in Denton, Texas.
Fry’s Troubled Past
Fry’s history with the law is extensive. Denton County jail records reveal at least 31 previous arrests dating back to 2003. His criminal record includes charges for assault, arson, making terroristic threats, and various drug and public intoxication offenses. In 2018, Fry was also involved in a bizarre incident where he crashed a truck into the FOX 4 Dallas office in an attempt to gain media attention for a 2012 police shooting in Denton County that resulted in the death of his friend. After the incident, Fry was seen ranting and throwing sheets of paper onto the sidewalk. A suspicious duffel bag left at the scene led to a bomb squad response.
Charges and Bail
Fry was booked into the Denton County jail on Wednesday and was later granted a $30,000 surety bond. His disturbing actions and prior criminal history have left the community in shock as the investigation continues.
