Taylor Denise Schabusiness - The Woman Who Decapacitated Her Lover's Head During Sex Game

WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT A lady allegedly killed her lover and placed his severed head and penis in a bucket during a drug-fueled sex game. Taylor Denise Schabusiness, 25, of Wisconsin, will enter a not-guilty plea by reason of insanity for the murder of Shad Thyrion, 25, in February 2022.

Details on the case

Schabusiness is charged with third-degree sexual assault, first-degree intentional homicide, and mutilating a corpse. She's scheduled to go on trial on March 23 for allegedly beheading Thyrion during a sex game. Thyrion's mother subsequently discovered his head in a bucket at her residence in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Furthermore, Schabusiness' lawyers counter that because she doesn't comprehend her charges, she isn't mentally fit to stand trial in March. Additionally, she allegedly informed police they were "going to have fun trying to find all of the organs" after her arrest on February 23 last year. Moreover, a cooking pot containing human remains was discovered after her van was examined. In addition, police reportedly discovered a "male organ" in the bucket along with numerous body parts scattered throughout the residence.

Numerous pieces of Thyrion's body were discovered in his mother's house and her truck, leading the prosecution to claim that he had been sexually abused and dismembered.

More details

Taylor Denise Schabusiness also told the police that she continued having sex with Thyrion's corpse "because she enjoyed it.” According to the police, "Schabusiness made the comment that at one point, she did get paranoid and lazy and that she thought it was the ‘dope’ that was making her paranoid."

However, Quinn Jolly, the woman's attorney, disagreed and insisted that her client was unfit to stand. She stated: "She’s been psychiatrically hospitalized multiple times, she’s been diagnosed with bipolar and psychotic. This may have been one of her better days, however, I’m very surprised at the result of this report.” Nevertheless, Matthew Seipel, a psychiatric specialist the court retained, thinks Schabusiness is competent to stand trial. He declared: "I reached the opinion to a reasonable degree of professional certainty that the defendant is competent to proceed in this case.” Lastly, Schabusiness is still in jail with a $2 million (£1.6 million) bond.
