SICKO Breaks Into Morgue – Commits Unspeakable Acts!

Body on morgue tray with toe tag

A 31-year-old man allegedly used a crowbar to break into a government morgue in the middle of the night, opened eleven body bags, and sexually violated four corpses — and surveillance cameras reportedly captured every moment of it.

Story Snapshot

  • Fenris Lu faces four counts of sexual conduct with a dead person, burglary, criminal damage, and possession of burglary tools after an early-morning break-in at the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office in Phoenix.
  • Law enforcement sources say surveillance video shows Lu breaking the seals on eleven body bags and having sexual contact with four deceased men.
  • Prosecutors moved to seal court documents to allow time for next-of-kin notifications and to assess whether active criminal cases involving the deceased were compromised.
  • A Maricopa County commissioner set bond at $500,000 cash after Lu did not appear at his initial hearing due to combative behavior described as a potential danger to himself and others.

A Crowbar, a Government Morgue, and Eleven Body Bags

Around 1:30 in the morning, authorities say Fenris Lu forced his way into the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office using a crowbar. [2] This was not a crime of opportunity at a poorly secured location — it was a deliberate breach of a county government facility that houses human remains awaiting forensic processing, identification, and release to families. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the incident and described it as an active and sensitive investigation. [1] The sheer premeditation implied by bringing burglary tools to a morgue in the dead of night raises questions that go well beyond a standard breaking-and-entering case.

Law enforcement sources told FOX 10 that surveillance footage captured Lu breaking the seals on eleven body bags and making sexual contact with four of the deceased men inside. [2] That is the kind of evidentiary detail that tends to harden a prosecution’s case considerably. Surveillance video from inside a secure government facility, if authenticated and continuous, leaves very little room for misidentification or contextual ambiguity. Prosecutors clearly believe the footage is damaging enough to anchor multiple felony counts, which is why they moved quickly to charge four separate counts of sexual conduct with a dead person. [1]

Why Prosecutors Moved to Seal the Court Record

The decision to seek sealed court documents was not procedural housekeeping. Prosecutors cited two specific concerns: the need to notify the next of kin of the affected deceased before details became public, and the need to assess whether any of the bodies were connected to active criminal investigations that might now be compromised. [2] That second concern is significant. A medical examiner’s office holds remains that are often central to homicide cases, pending trials, and open investigations. If evidence associated with those bodies was disturbed or contaminated, the ripple effects could extend far beyond this one arrest. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson indicated no medical-legal death investigations were believed to be compromised, but the full scope of harm remains under review. [2]

Families of the deceased are in an almost incomprehensibly painful position. They surrendered their loved ones’ remains to a government institution precisely because it is supposed to be a place of professional custody and dignity. The idea that a stranger broke in and violated those remains before they could be returned to their families is a wound that a criminal conviction alone cannot fully address. The next-of-kin notification process, which prosecutors specifically cited in the sealing request, is the least the system can offer — and it is the right call. [2]

What the Charges Actually Mean in Court

Lu’s charge sheet as reported by ABC15 includes third-degree burglary for unlawful entry, criminal damage for defacing property, second-degree escape, possession of burglary tools, and four counts of sexual conduct with a dead person. [1] Arizona law criminalizes sexual conduct with a dead body as a felony, and each count carries its own sentencing exposure. The burglary and tool-possession charges address the break-in itself. The escape charge suggests Lu may have attempted to flee after being taken into custody, which would explain the combative behavior noted at his initial court appearance. [1] Taken together, the charge stack describes someone who planned the intrusion, executed it, and then resisted arrest — not a person who wandered into a situation by accident.

The $500,000 cash bond reflects a court’s early assessment that Lu poses a serious risk. [1] Cash-only bonds at that level are not routine for property crimes. They signal that a judge heard enough at the initial appearance — even without Lu present — to conclude that standard release conditions were insufficient. The reported reason for his absence, that he was too combative and potentially dangerous to himself and others, only reinforces that assessment. [2] The case now moves toward a preliminary hearing where the evidentiary record, including that surveillance footage, will begin to enter the public domain. Until then, Lu is presumed innocent under the law — but the facts as reported are difficult to square with any innocent explanation.
