Summary

The Taylor Schabusiness Case: Murder, Meth, and a Head in a Bucket

On February 21, 2022, Shad Thyrion was killed in the basement of his mother’s house by someone he knew well. Taylor Schabusiness had a long history of drug use, recent run-ins with law enforcement, and a growing obsession with Jeffrey Dahmer. What happened that night was violent, intentional, and deeply disturbing.

She didn’t try to hide the crime. She stayed with Shad’s body, dismembered him, and left parts of him behind... including his head in a bucket his mother would later discover herself.

This episode follows the full case, from the murder to the arrest, to a courtroom meltdown that made national headlines. It also covers what’s happened since Taylor was sentenced to life in prison, including multiple attacks behind bars and a failed appeal she tried to handle on her own.

This isn’t a closed case. It’s a story that keeps getting stranger.

This is 10-minute murder. Let's get into it. Shad Theorien was 24. He lived in Green Bay, Wisconsin with his mom, Tara. He wasn't some

big headline name before this. He was just a guy trying to figure life out. He liked being

around people. He had a goofy sense of humor, and according

to his family, was one of those quiet types who'd open up once you've earned it. He helped take

care of his grandparents, stayed close with his family, and tried to keep the peace in his own way.

Chad wasn't flashy. He worked odd jobs, spent time with friends, smoked a little weed here and

business, an on-again, off-again thing. They weren't dating, but they were close enough to
