Michael Chadwick Fry throws a bucket filled with bones over the secure fence into the parking lot of the FBI headquarters in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. We know he did this because he recorded himself doing it and posted the video to his YouTube channel. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack explore the world of stolen and missing remains, and the story behind Michael Fry breaking into multiple cemeteries in Oklahoma and Arlington, Texas. Fry is accused of stealing bones from a mausoleum, cremains in an urn and the remains of one person who still had dirt and leaves on the skull Fry displays on his YouTube channel. The motive? He wants the FBI to investigate a crime he witnessed in 2012.

A headless, handless, nude body with an "X" carved into his chest is found in rural New York state on March 20, 1970. As the body has no head, no hands, no identification or clothing, the case goes cold quickly and the body is laid to rest as Allegany County John Doe 1970. No "Missing Person" report was filed, ever. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack take a look at an almost impossible to solve case, that got cracked wide open 56 years later changing the name from John Doe, to Clyde Coppage, age 35, when he was murdered in 1970. His killer has never been caught and the case remains "Active".

Jimmy Gracey, 20, went missing after a night out with friends in Spain. He was last seen outside a nightclub at 3am and never made it back to his Airbnb. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the facts as they are currently known and try to make sense out of how Gracey's phone ended up in possession of a man under arrest for a crime not related to Gracey's disappearance, and his wallet is found in the water before Jimmy Gracey is found nearby in the same water days later.

UPDATE: When Pastor William "Bill" Schonemann was found dead in his bed, posed with his hands pinned to the wall as if crucified, there was little information to go on and at the time we covered the story, no arrest had been made.

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack update the story with the arrest of 52-year-old Adam Sheafe.

Sheafe has admitted to the murder of Pastor Schonemann and demands the state put him to death, but only to prove that he cannot be killed.
