Authorities in northern Kentucky responded to a gruesome scene at a Robertson County home on Wednesday.
A witness called 911 at around 12:30 p.m. to report finding a body in the backyard of the home.
The man said he arrived at the home of Trudy Fields to do some work on the property but did not get an answer when he knocked on the door so he walked through the backyard.
There, he found a pile of hair, two blood-stained mattresses, and other evidence before stumbling upon a mutilated body.
The victim’s arms, legs, and head had been removed and other body parts and internal organs were in a folded mattress.
Police responded to the scene and arrested 32-year-old Torilena Fields, the victim’s live-in daughter, after deploying tear gas.
The suspect was covered in blood. Officers searched the residence and found additional body parts cooked in a still-warm pot in the oven.
Fields faces charges of obstructing governmental operations, tampering with evidence, and abuse of a corpse but more counts against her will be filed.
