0:20.3 | Mississippi and Wisconsin, those aren't two states that you normally hear mentioned together. |
0:27.0 | They don't have a lot of common, other than the fact that I guess they both have a lot of folks up there and down there that are rural types. |
0:35.6 | They live in isolated locations, beautiful countryside in both states. I had an interesting encounter one time with a fellow who was from Mississippi, but yet he was the corner in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and I was fascinated by that. |
0:50.7 | I was fascinated about his assessment, about moving from a Gulf state like Mississippi deep south up to the frozen north. |
1:00.2 | He loved the people. He loved the slow pace of life. He loved the way people really embraced the environment in Green Bay. |
1:09.7 | He said, you know, around about way it kind of reminded him of home. |
1:13.6 | Today, we're actually going to discuss a homicide, arguably one of the most gruesome homicides that I've covered on Body Bags that took place in Green Bay. |
1:27.5 | The homicide of Shad thought at the hands of Taylor ship business. I'm Joseph Scott Morgan, and this is Body Bags. |
1:40.8 | They mocked for me when I heard about this case. I didn't really hear much about the victim, but boy, have they gone on and on about the alleged perpetrator in this case. |

2:25.4 | And by the way, oftentimes when getting that attention, there's people that try to justify what they did. |
2:30.0 | There's oftentimes victim blaming in there and it gets crazy. It is the way that things are reported. |
2:35.6 | Oftentimes the suspect is evil. And we don't run into evil every day in our lives. And when you see it in front of you and you see what they've done, it just, it's not prairie and interest. |
2:47.2 | It's just interest in general draws us to it, I think. |
2:50.5 | Based upon what you and I do for a living where we cover cases, aren't you glad that we're still at that point where we can sense evil? |
3:00.4 | Because there's a time when I think you can get a call to it. I did working with the medical examiner. |
3:06.6 | The horror and the gruesomeness, if you will, of cases just kind of becomes your norm after a while. |
3:14.1 | But when you begin to think about what happened to the shogman at the hands of Taylor Shabbusiness, you really begin to plumb the depths, I think, here, of the praivity in the world in which we find ourselves now, the space that we occupy. |
