Summary

A man broke into the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office on May 21, disturbing 11 body bags and inappropriately touching four bodies. Authorities identified the suspect as Fenris Lu, who admitted to the crime. In an exclusive interview, a friend who traveled from Washington State describes Lu's history of addiction and mental health struggles. We break down how the break-in happened, what investigators found, and the charges Lu now faces.
