Taylor Schabusiness’S DISTURBING MURDER TRIAL is currently happening in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
She is suspected of murdering and dismembering her alleged lover, Shad Thyrion, while high on marijuana and methamphetamine.
Who was Shad Thyrion and what happened to him?
Shad Thyrion was the son of Tara Pakanich and Michael Thyrion and a native of Green Bay, Wisconsin.
He was born on September 7, 1997, and after graduating from high school, he began working alongside his father and grandfather at their family companies.
According to his obituary, he was a creative artist who enjoyed camping, games, and spending time with his family.
His family’s existence was flipped upside down on February 23, 2022, when his mother discovered his severed head in a bucket.
According to his mother, she last saw her kid alive when Schabusiness picked him up hours before.
She was discovered with dried blood on her clothing and hands after arriving at her house.
When detectives searched Schabusiness’ truck, they discovered a crock pot box containing “human body parts including legs.”
According to local ABC affiliate station WBAY, other human parts were eventually recovered, including an upper torso and various internal organs in a storage tote bag.
According to Fox11 News, an autopsy performed by Dr. Vincent Tranchida revealed that Thyrion died by strangling and that his death was considered a homicide.
Thyrion was recalled as a “very kind” and “compassionate person” who “often thought of others before himself.”

What has Shad’s mother said about his death?
Pakanich took the stand during Schabusiness’ trial and told jurors about the heartbreaking moment she found her son’s severed head in a bucket.
She explained on the stand that the gruesome discovery was made after she went to the basement of her home to turn off a light that had been left on.
“I figured (Shad) was sleeping,” she told jurors, via the Green Bay Press Gazette.
“I wanted to go back to sleep. I went to go back upstairs, there was a bucket there. That’s where I found Shad.”
After Pakanich discovered Thyrion’s head, she rushed upstairs to wake her boyfriend, Steve Hendricks, who then proceeded to contact the police.
