Taylor Schabusiness appeared in court on July 5, 2022.

Taylor Schabusiness, 25, was arrested in February 2022 for murdering Shad Thyrion inside his mother’s Green Bay home. Schabusiness cut off Thyrion’s head, sexually assaulted him, then dismembered the rest of his body, investigators believe. The victim’s mother found his head in a bucket. Detectives found Thyrion’s body parts in plastic bags, a storage tote, the bucket, and a box in Schabusiness’ van.

Schabusiness told investigators she was strangling Thyrion during sex when she realized how much she liked strangling him, so she just kept going.

Several years before he was allegedly decapitated by Taylor Schabusiness, Shad Thyrion appeared in a Brown County, Wis. jail mugshot dated May 23, 2018. He was booked for allegedly resisting/failing to stop/fleeing during a traffic offense.
