On February 23, 2022, Shad Thyrion, a 24-year-old American man, was murdered and dismembered by his lover, Taylor Schabusiness. Thyrion's severed head was discovered by his mother, Tara Pakanich, in a bucket in the basement of their family home in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Other severed body parts, including Thyrion's bisected torso in a storage tote, were later discovered by police.
Schabusiness, who was involved in a sexual relationship with Thyrion, admitted to strangling him to death during sexual intercourse while they were both intoxicated with methamphetamine and prescription drugs. She continued to have sex with Thyrion's body before dismembering, removing his internal organs, and mutilating it.
Schabusiness was arrested and charged with murder of the first degree, mutilating a corpse, and third-degree sexual assault. On July 26, 2023, a jury convicted her on all three counts. Sentencing took place on September 26 with Schabusiness sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.[2]
