Daughter Charged with Murder After Mother’s Dismembered Body Found
Mount Olivet City, Kentucky – A 32-year-old woman is in custody after the dismembered body of her mother was discovered behind their home in Robertson County.
Kentucky State Police were called to a home on Brierly Ridge Road on Wednesday afternoon following a 911 call reporting a dead body.
A man who had arrived to work on Trudy Fields’ property said he could not get a response when he knocked on the door.
Upon walking around to the back of the house, he discovered a pile of hair, a blood-stained mattress, and drag marks in the grass.
The man followed the drag marks to the backyard, where he found what he believed to be Trudy Fields’ dismembered body.
When troopers arrived, they confirmed the gruesome discovery and found additional body parts on another mattress and a blood-stained stick on the back porch.
The man told police that he had last seen Trudy Fields the previous day when she accompanied them to the property gate.
He noted that Trudy Fields and her daughter, 32-year-old Torilena Fields, were the only people at the home and that Torilena had been behaving strangely, casting spells on them and being confrontational.
The Kentucky State Police Special Response Team was called to the scene and executed a search warrant for the home.
Torilena Fields refused to exit the home and had to be forcibly removed after multiple rounds of tear gas were deployed.
Upon entering the home, authorities found multiple body parts cooked inside a stainless steel pot in the oven.
Torilena Fields is charged with obstructing governmental operations, tampering with physical evidence, and abuse of a corpse. Kentucky State Police said additional charges may be filed as the investigation continues.
She is currently being held at the Bourbon County Detention Center.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Motherโs Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO โ A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicagoโs Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnsonโs boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the motherโs boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
