Details On Mother’s Dismembered Body Discovered In Home
A man hired by Trudy Fields to work on the property notified police about her remains on Oct. 9, per the Courier-Journal.
Officials discovered the body behind the home, along with blood-stained items and drag marks in the grass when they arrived. The male maintenance worker told police that he last saw Trudy on Tuesday (Oct. 8), and he mentioned that her daughter Torilena May Fields was allegedly “casting spells on them and being confrontational” during his visit. Documents indicate that the mother and daughter were allegedly the only ones at the house that day.
As the Courier-Journal reported, officials discovered that someone had removed multiple body parts from Trudy Fields, which they later found inside a mattress behind the home. While searching the kitchen, investigators also found a stainless steel pot containing human body parts that they believe someone cooked inside an oven. They claimed that the pot felt “warm to the touch” when they found it.
