*WARNING*
Today's episode is graphic in nature, listener discretion is advised.
Taylor Schabusiness had several run-ins with law enforcement prior to February 2022. She also had an addiction, an addiction that would lead her to commit arguably one of the most horrific crimes in Wisconsin history since the 1990s.
It's a case unlike any I have covered so far on the show, and despite the fact that I try to tell stories that aren't splattered all over news headlines this one was too crazy not to tell.
Although I left some of the details out, I will tell you though, this one definitely was one of the most graphic cases I have researched so far. For that reason, listener discretion is highly advised.
If you would like to donate to the Thyrion family, they have set up a Go Fund Me page after the loss of Shad. Funds will go to funeral costs and other arrangements. If you can help, please do. What a terrible loss for this family.
