‘Evil’ daughter accused of ki!ling and cooking her mother’s dismembered body parts still look composed in court, to the shock of family members.
Torilena May Fields, 32, was charged with murder after police found her 68-year-old mother, Trudy, lying in her backyard and body parts being cooked cooked in a pot on October 9.
DETAILS OF WHAT HAPPENED
Fields allegedly shot Trudy in the head and stabbed her, and ‘decapitating, dismembering, eviscerating her corpse’ at her home in Mount Olivet, Kentucky.
She then ‘placed her head, hands, feet and forearms in a pot in the oven and heating them until they were charred’, court documents alleged.
Kentucky State Police responded to Fields’ childhood home on October 9, after a man working on the property followed drag marks in the grass and found Trudy’s dismembered body in the backyard.
Trudy’s arms, legs, and head were detached from her body. The worker also discovered a pile of hair believed to be hers.
He told state troopers he was at the property the day before and saw both Trudy and Fields.
Fields made her first court appearance on Tuesday – looking drastically different than she did in her mugshot – and pleaded not guilty to the charges, Fox 56 reported.

Fields’ family were stunned at the change in her appearance, noting she did not seem to express any remorse and didn’t appear to be mentally ill.
‘It looks like nothing is wrong. She was alert, she paid attention to the judge. I didn’t see anything that she was psycho or mental. She was talking to the judge like a human being. I thought she would be out of her head,’ her uncle Todd Brock said.
‘I feel sorry for the girl, but my sister is my sister. Kids don’t do that to their mother.’
Her cousin Olivia Brock said: ‘I feel like looking at her – I don’t know, maybe it’s just my thoughts or whatever. I feel like she’s aware of what she’s done or whatever. I don’t know. Yeah, I don’t have any words for that.’
She is due back in court on March 10, and her attorney Laura Fitzer said their next steps are gathering more evidence and investigating.
Family and friends said Fields grew up as a stereotypical ‘country girl’ with loving parents.
They said her problems only started after she moved to California to pursue a career as an actor and singer under the name Naomi Navarre.
