Nightmare In Wisconsin: Taylor Shabusiness Trial
·
The bone-chilling case dates back to February 2022 when Thyrion, also 25, was found gruesomely dismembered in his mother's basement. Schabusiness faces charges of first-degree homicide, mutilating a corpse, and third-degree sexual assault. Authorities accuse her of strangling Thyrion to death, performing sexual acts on his corpse, and dismembering him, leaving parts of his body scattered throughout the house and inside a car. The victim's severed head and penis were shockingly discovered inside a bucket, a discovery made all the more disturbing as it was the victim's mother who stumbled upon them.
Footage captured by police body cameras revealed the horrifying crime scene. The visual evidence, shown to the Wisconsin jury, brought the grotesque reality of the crime to the fore. Investigators found bags soaked in blood and a blood-stained mattress, illuminating the grotesque extent of the murder.
As the trial opened, shocking evidence emerged, painting a disturbing picture of the murder and the events leading up to it. Schabusiness reportedly took advantage of Thyrion during an intense sexual encounter, leading to his death by strangulation using a chain. Post-mortem, she allegedly performed sexual acts on his dismembered body and scattered his remains throughout the house.
The sight that greeted Thyrion's mother, Tara Pakanich, and her boyfriend, Steve Hendricks, was nothing short of a nightmare. They discovered Thyrion's severed head and a male organ inside a bucket, leading to an urgent call to 911.
The police bodycam footage exhibited in court showed the officers being led to the basement, where they came face-to-face with the horrifying sight. Alex Wanish, one of the responding Green Bay officers, testified about the gut-wrenching discovery, "At the bottom of the stairs, to the right, there was a green bucket with a shower towel on top of it... and there was a human head severed head in the bucket."
Officers found more of Thyrion's remains in the basement in various plastic bags and storage totes. His upper torso was found in a storage tote, accompanied by a carving knife and several internal organs, indicating the extent of the dismemberment.
Schabusiness confessed to investigators that she had planned to transport the dismembered parts in her minivan. However, she abandoned the idea due to her lethargy and the random, unplanned nature of the murder.
Authorities apprehended Schabusiness shortly after the discovery of the remains. She was found still sporting blood-stained clothing and bearing physical evidence of the crime, such as scratches on her arms, a cut on her left thumb, and apparent blood on her hands.
During the interrogation, Schabusiness revealed that she and Thyrion had consumed drugs, including methamphetamine and a potent sedative called Trazadone, earlier in the day of the incident. Investigators recovered a glass pipe and a bag containing a light-colored powder, corroborating her account of drug consumption.
The trial continues as the legal teams grapple with the distressing evidence. The brutality and grotesque nature of the crime have left an indelible mark on the community, shedding light on a violent act of passion that ended in a horrifying spectacle of murder and mutilation.

22: Taylor Schabusiness Sentenced to Life Without Parole Part 1
In a crime that has sent shockwaves through the Brown County community, 25-year-old Taylor Schabusiness has been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. The sentencing, passed down by Judge Thomas Walsh, comes after Schabusiness was found guilty of the brutal murder and dismemberment of her ex-boyfriend, 24-year-old Shad Thyrion.
The Crime's Grisly Details
Thyrion's dismembered remains were discovered in his mother's basement, sparking a horrifying investigation that quickly zeroed in on Schabusiness as the primary suspect. The most haunting discovery of the investigation was made by the victim's mother, Tara Pakanich, and her boyfriend, Steve Hendricks, who found Thyrion's severed head and other body parts in a bucket.
Subsequent searches of the premises led to the discovery of additional body parts, evidence of drug use, and other incriminating items.
Tense Moments in Court
During her appearance in the Brown County Circuit Court, Schabusiness, clad in an orange prison jumpsuit, remained an enigmatic figure. While she chose not to address the court, her reactions varied from apparent smirks to shaking her head as the details of her crimes were read out.
The courtroom was a cauldron of emotion. Kelly Thyrion, the victim's uncle, voiced his contempt for Schabusiness, using derogatory terms. On the other hand, Shad's father, Michael, expressed a more compassionate stance, asking for leniency and forgiveness.
The Sentence and Judge's Remarks
Judge Thomas Walsh's decision to sentence Schabusiness to life without parole underscored the severity of the crime. He stated, "This crime offends human decency, dignity, and the community." Despite the defense's attempts to cite Schabusiness's history of drug abuse and trauma as mitigating factors, the judge emphasized the need to prioritize public safety.
Drugs and Their Role in the Crime
Throughout the trial, there were constant reminders of the destructive role of drugs. Schabusiness confessed to both smoking methamphetamine and injecting herself and the victim with Trazodone, a strong sedative. This drug-fueled environment was presented as a backdrop to the tragic events that ensued.
Despite this, Dr. Diane Lytton, who assessed Schabusiness's mental state, suggested that she was experiencing psychosis, complete with hallucinations. However, the jury was not swayed by this testimony, given the physical evidence at hand.
The Aftermath
The Brown County community now faces the grim task of coming to terms with this tragic event. As the details of this case reverberate through the area, many residents are hoping for a renewed focus on the dangers of drug addiction and its potentially catastrophic outcomes.
