The Kentucky woman accused of killing and dismembering her mother and then cooking her severed head and other body parts was an aspiring actor in California who went by a different name, according to a report.
Torilena May Fields, 32, was arrested on Oct. 9 following an 11-hour standoff with state police after a worker found a disemboweled human torso in the backyard of her mother’s home.
Fields has since been charged with the murder of her mother, Trudy Fields, after she emerged covered in blood from the Mount Olivet, Ky. home where investigators found a charred and severed head, hands, feet and forearm in a “still warm” pot in the oven, Fox56 reported.
Drag marks from the back door to the yard led police to the victim’s torso alongside a pile of hair and blood-soaked mattresses — one that covered human organs and other severed parts, according to police.
