In a bizarre case, court records have disclosed that a man from Texas, accused of corpse abuse, uploaded a YouTube video showing him tossing a bucket filled with stolen human bones over the fence of the FBI’s Dallas office. His stated aim was to “summon them by force.”
Identified as Michael Chadwick Fry, he faces charges of abusing a corpse without legal authority and tampering with evidence with the intent to impair a human corpse, according to records from Denton County Jail.
Fry was taken into custody on Wednesday and subsequently released on a $30,000 surety bond.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit reported by FOX 4 Dallas, Fry’s mother alerted the Bartonville Police Department on Monday. She claimed her son had requested money for renting a U-Haul, explaining he “had a body that needed to be moved.”

In her statement to the authorities, Fry’s mother mentioned that after making the unusual request, her son became agitated and left her residence. She noted that her car’s GPS had logged searches for three cemeteries—one in Texas and two in Oklahoma—and she had noticed a new shovel at her home.
Fry’s sister also contacted police and told them about a YouTube video her brother allegedly made, showing Fry throwing a bucket of “Elizabeth’s remains” over the FBI Dallas fence, according to the report.
The video was titled, “We send Elizabeth over the FBI fence to summon them by force.”
FBI Dallas confirmed to police the bucket contained human bones.

Another YouTube video reviewed by police, titled “Fry and Barto news! Where we reveal mass killers,” showed Fry at his home with a human skull.
Documents stated Fry referred to the skull as “Elizabeth Virginia Lyon,” leading officials to believe the skull was related to the remains tossed over FBI Dallas’ fence, according to the report.
Bartonville police said Fry previously stole an urn of ashes from Oklahoma City and a coffin from a mausoleum in Denton, Texas.

Denton County jail records obtained by Fox News Digital showed Fry had at least 31 previous arrests dating back to 2003 for crimes including: six instances of assault, arson, making terroristic threats, and numerous drug and public intoxication charges.
FOX 4 reported Fry was also accused of crashing a truck into the station’s downtown Dallas office in 2018 to gain media attention for a 2012 police shooting in Denton County that killed his friend.
“He got out of the truck, ranting and throwing sheets of paper onto the sidewalk,” the outlet reported. “Fry also left behind a suspicious bright orange duffel bag that prompted police to set up a perimeter and bring in the bomb squad.”
He later apologized to FOX 4 during a court hearing, according to the report.
