North Texas Man Accused of Removing Body From Denton County Cemetery, Charged with Corpse Abuse

Michael Chadwick Fry faces a state jail felony for abusing remains taken from a Denton cemetery and tossing bones into the FBI Dallas office lot, authorities said.

  • On March 18, 2026, investigators executed a search warrant at the 500 block of Oakwood Drive and arrested Michael Chadwick Fry after a tip about removed remains.
  • Fry's mother called police Monday after he asked for U-Haul money and said he "had a body that needed to be moved," while investigators say he sought FBI attention over a 2012 Denton County police shooting grievance.
  • A YouTube video 'We send Elizabeth over the FBI fence to summon them by force' reportedly shows Fry throwing a bucket with bones into the FBI Dallas field office parking lot, and other videos show him with a human skull called 'Elizabeth Virginia Lyon.'
  • He has been charged with abuse of a corpse, a state jail felony under Texas law, and is booked in the Denton County Jail with a $30,000 bond while testing on remains and an active investigation continue.
  • He previously rammed a truck into the FOX 4 building in 2018, and Fry has more than two dozen arrests since 2003; Denton Police Department is assisting investigations into a damaged mausoleum and missing remains at the IOOF Cemetery.
