Taylor Schabusiness Wanted To 'Keep Some Parts She Liked' Of Dead BF
In an unfolding drama gripping the nation, the chilling details of the Taylor Schabusiness trial came to light in the courtrooms this week. Her case, charged with the murder and gruesome dismemberment of Shad Thyrion, saw forensic experts lay out the evidence, painting a horrifying image of the crime scene.
Prominent among the witnesses was Dr. Vincent Tranchida from the Dane County Medical Examiner's Office. As the forensic pathologist who performed the post-mortem on Thyrion, Dr. Tranchida offered a chilling testimony detailing the victim's injuries and the exacting method of his dismemberment.
Dr. Tranchida testified, explaining the severity of the wounds inflicted on the victim, "We have decapitation, we have dismemberment, we have transection of the torso... the body has been eviscerated. We have entered the body through various cuts through the abdomen and between the ribs where the victim's organs have been removed, largely one by one." The doctor noted that the dismemberment would have taken several painstaking hours, clearly performed post-mortem due to the lack of hemorrhage associated with the injuries.
As harrowing as this evidence is, its importance cannot be overstated for understanding the sequence of events leading up to Thyrion's tragic demise. The depth of information it provides also casts a spotlight on the complexity of the task faced by the forensic examiners who collected the remains from the Stony Brook Lane residence and the minivan Schabusiness was reportedly driving.
Toxicology reports found traces of cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana in Thyrion's system. However, Dr. Tranchida adamantly stated these substances were not the cause of death. "It is my medical opinion that the cause of death of Shad Thyrion is strangulation and that the manner of death is homicide," testified Tranchida, a finding that shifts the focus squarely onto the actions of Schabusiness.
Further insights were shared by Lt. Tom Buchmann of the Green Bay Police Department, who described Schabusiness's arrest. Captured by bodycam footage, her apprehension occurred after the gold minivan she was known to be driving was located outside an Eastman Avenue apartment. "She appeared to be in shock or very surprised to see us. I'd equate it to a deer in the headlights kind of look or a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar," he said.
Following her arrest, Schabusiness was taken to the Green Bay Police Department. A series of images displayed to the jury documented her blood-stained attire. The state crime lab's DNA analyst, Kevin Scott, confirmed the blood was Thyrion's, adding to the mounting body of evidence against Schabusiness.
Further captivating the courtroom, a former detective from the Green Bay Police Department divulged findings from Schabusiness' cellphone. It was revealed that the defendant had searched for notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, cadavers, and Satan, leading the defense to a motion for a mistrial. Despite the alarming associations and potential prejudicial impact, Brown County District Attorney David Lasee defended its relevance. The judge, taking note of the mistrial motion, ultimately denied it.
The Taylor Schabusiness trial, with its shocking revelations and disturbing associations, continues to captivate the nation, unfolding a tale of horrifying actions and mental instability. As the court delves deeper into this complex case, the spotlight remains focused on the grim details of the crime and the twisted mind of the accused
