Episode 43:
America's Most Evil and Psychopathic Female Killer (Taylor Schabusiness)

In February 2022, a mother in Green Bay, Wisconsin returned home from a short trip and walked toward the basement where her 24-year-old son, Shad Thyrion, had been staying.

Near the basement stairs, she noticed a bucket covered with a towel.

Her son had been killed, dismembered, and left inside the house.

The Woman Everyone Feared

Investigators quickly focused on Taylor Schabusiness, Shad's girlfriend and longtime acquaintance.

Taylor had a long history of instability, drug abuse, violence, and disturbing behavior. Shad's mother had reportedly been afraid of her influence and had tried to convince her son to stay away.

When police found Taylor, she did not react like someone trying to hide.

A Confession That Shocked Detectives

During questioning, Taylor calmly admitted involvement in the killing and began telling detectives where she had left different parts of the body.

She seemed less concerned about being caught than about the fact that she had forgotten to take the victim's head with her.

Investigators later concluded that the killing had occurred after drug use and sexual activity in the basement.

Suspicious

The most disturbing part of the case was not only the murder itself.

It was Taylor's behavior afterward.

She showed little remorse, described the dismemberment in shocking detail, and even attacked her own attorney during court proceedings.

Final Thoughts

Taylor Schabusiness was ultimately found guilty of murder, mutilating a corpse, and sexual assault.

The court sentenced her to life in prison without the possibility of parole, ruling that she remained a serious danger to society.

For Shad's family, the horror was not only what happened in the basement, but the fact that Taylor never offered real remorse for what she had done.
