A daughter is facing multiple charges after Kentucky State Police found a dis*membered body, believed to be the mom, at the house.
The man who called the police said he discovered it on Wednesday afternoon when he went over to do some property work.
Kentucky State Police is painting a disturbing picture.
A Mount Olivet woman argued that she was “casting spells” when a body believed to be Trudy Fields was found outside the home. A contractor said he began looking for Fields when she didn’t answer the door. He followed drag marks in the grass to find multiple blood-stained items and a dis*membered body.
He added that he also saw a pile of hair that he believed belonged to the homeowner.
When troopers arrived at Brierly Ridge Road home, they said they removed a pot from inside the oven. Inside that pot were human body parts. The gruesome news has shaken the small town.
“Around here, you hear of certain people, domestic violence, cases, and stuff like that, but you’ve never heard of something so awful. When I first heard about it, I was extremely shocked. Everyone was shocked. No one could believe that something like that could happen this close,” said Mt. Olivet resident Jackie McLaughlin.
The contractor told police that he saw Fields and her daughter, 32-year-old Torilena Fields, just a day earlier. He added that Torilena was “being confrontational” that day and the two were the only ones at the house.
Trudy Fields’ home is up a long private driveway. There’s a house across the street, but it’s a pretty remote area. Kentucky State Police and family were at the property on Thursday evening.
“I think that’s why everyone was really shocked about it because you don’t hear about that in small towns like this. It’s usually big cities,” McLaughlin said.
KSP said that Torilena was the only one at the house when they arrived. They used tear gas after she refused to leave the residence. She appeared to have blood on her face, hands, and clothing.
Torilena is charged with obstructing governmental operations, tampering with physical evidence, and abuse of corpse.
“I’ve experienced stuff like this myself, not as bad as this, but like domestic violence, and from the outside, you don’t see it because everyone keeps on a happy face. You just never know what’s going on,” McLaughlin said.
Kentucky State Police said that a medical examiner will do an autopsy tomorrow.
