Texas man arrested for tossing human remains at FBI office in Dallas
A Texas man has been arrested after allegedly throwing human remains onto the grounds of an FBI field office in Dallas. Michael Chadwick Fry, 41, filmed the bizarre incident and later posted it online. Authorities have since charged him with abuse of a corpse.
The case began when Fry allegedly stole an urn containing human remains from a cemetery in Oklahoma City. He then drove to Dallas and tossed a bucket filled with bones over the fence of the FBI building's secure parking lot. The remains were later identified as belonging to Elizabeth Virginia Lyons, though her grave in Denton remains undisturbed.
Fry recorded the act and uploaded a video to YouTube, where he referred to the bones as 'Elizabeth Virginia Lyons'. Police were alerted after his mother contacted them, concerned that he had asked for money to rent a U-Haul to move a body. This was not Fry's first run-in with the law—records show he has been arrested 28 times since 2003.
In 2018, Fry also made headlines for ramming a truck into a Dallas news station. The bones recovered from the FBI office are now undergoing forensic analysis to confirm their origin and identity.
Fry faces charges related to the disturbance of human remains. The investigation continues as authorities examine the bones and review his previous criminal history. The FBI has not released further details on the incident or its response.
