0:00- Hi friends, how are you today?
0:02My name is Bailey Sarian and today's Monday,
0:04which means it's Murder, Mystery & Makeup Monday.
0:08If you're new here, hi,
0:09my name is Bailey Sarian and on Mondays
0:11I like to sit down and talk about a true crime story
0:14that's been heavy on my
0:18noggin, and I do my makeup at the same time,
0:22just kinda like gives me something to do
0:24so I'm not being weird just staring at the camera.
0:26It's really nothing more than that.
0:28Keeping my hands busy.
0:29If you're into true crime and you like makeup,
0:31I would say subscribe, because I'm here for you on Mondays.
0:35I don't even know where to start with today's story
0:37because I have been following this one since the beginning,
0:39and I watched the trial and everything,
0:41and I was just watching
0:42in complete confusion, disbelief, and wonder,
0:45because what, I was like, is this real?
0:47Is this like a skit?
0:48It wasn't a skit,
0:49it was real life and I need to talk about it.
0:51So that's what today's story's about. (laughing)
0:54Have no words. I have no words.
0:56Oh, I have no words because this,
0:59today's story's really brutal.
1:01It's really gruesome.
1:02So just a little, just a little disclaimer.
1:04It's brute.
1:06Today's episode is brought to you by CASETiFY.
1:09If you know me or you've been watching me for a while,
1:12you know I've been purchasing
1:13CASETiFY phone cases for years.
1:15I freaking love their cases.
1:19I mean not only because they do a fantastic job
1:21at protecting my cellular device,
1:23but also because there are so many different cases
1:26to choose from.
1:27CASETiFY has the best selection
1:29when it comes to different prints,
1:31designs and the ability to personalize your own phone case.
1:35They also have these new impact ring phone cases,
1:40which have a built-in stand to keep you hands free.
1:43Like I use it to do my makeup while watching Netflix,
1:47or reapply my lipstick when I don't have a mirror.
1:50And my family and friends love it,
1:52because it keeps my camera from moving so much
1:54during our FaceTime calls.
1:56No more trying to keep my hands stable
1:59or having to hold my phone the whole time.
2:01I love this because you can do wireless
2:03and MagSafe charging,
2:05and it's the best for everyday protection.
2:09Like these impact and ultra impact cases
2:12have shock dispersing material
2:15which is lined inside the case.
2:17So like no matter how you drop it, you know you're covered.
2:20What's even better is the fact
2:22that you get this great protection,
2:23but also you're not stuck with an ugly ass case.
2:27You know, sometimes those phone cases are bulky and ugly
2:32and you're like, cute, oh my god, I love that. (laughing)
2:36But not with CASETiFY.
2:37Unlike other ring stand cases,
2:39the stand is hidden as a frame around the camera,
2:44so you can't even tell that it's there.
2:47You get that protection,
2:49but you're not having a sacrifice style, and that's a fact.

3:08A big thank you to CASETiFY for partnering with me

3:11And a big thank you to you guys, my friends,
3:14'cause without you I wouldn't be here right now.
3:16Now let's get back to today's story.
3:18If you're curious to know what products I'm using,
3:21I'll list them down in the description box down below.
3:23I honestly don't know what I'm doing
3:25for my makeup right now, so good luck to me.
3:29I feel like I never know,
3:30but sometimes I come in with a plan like,
3:31oh, I'm gonna do blah blah blah.
3:33But today I am like,
3:35I either wanna go scary grungy,
3:38scary grungy meaning just like, I'm not trying to be cute,
3:41I'm trying to like scare a little bit,
3:42or I can do like pretty smoky, like a pretty smoky.
3:48I think I should go scary because that's my aesthetic.
3:51I just wanna give you the creeps.
3:53Okay, so today's story takes place in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
3:57Yeah, Green Bay.
3:58Now Green Bay is famous for their football team,
4:01the Packers, and also cheese.
4:06I mean there are a lot of little charming neighborhoods
4:09way up in the north country, but low key,
4:12just kind of like a lot of other places in America,
4:15everyone is kind of heavily into drugs.
4:20I mean not everyone, but you know,
4:21sadly there's a very serious drug underbelly up in Green Bay
4:26like many other places, right?
4:29They're fucking everywhere, and it seems like,
4:31like there drug of choice seems to be meth.
4:34So,
4:36that's the setting, and buckle up,
4:38because we're gonna ride the snake.
4:40We're gonna get down to some Schabusiness.
4:43Here we go.
4:43Okay, so it's 3:00 a.m. February 23rd, 2022,
4:48Green Bay 911 gets a phone call from a very confused man.
4:52Now this man's name is Steve.
4:54Now on the phone call, he seems kind of calm,
4:56a little slow since he had just woken up,
4:58so kind of like brain foggy,
5:00but he's calling 911 because his girlfriend,
5:02whose name is Tara, is absolutely losing it.
5:06She is in the back, you can hear her on the 911 call.
5:09She's hysterical, she's screaming, she's crying,
5:11she woke him up screaming, telling him to call 911.
5:16So Steve's on the phone kinda like she's,
5:19she just told me to call, you know,
5:21like he doesn't fully understand what's going on yet.
5:23So the dispatcher's on the phone asking him like,
5:26what's going on, right?
5:27What's going on? Tell me what's going on.
5:28And he tells them,
5:30my girl just woke me up and she swears that she found
5:33a severed head of her son
5:38in the basement.
5:39The dispatcher asked Steve to repeat himself.
5:41I mean, hello, it's not really common
5:43that a head in a bucket is found, you know?
5:46So the dispatcher is like, I'm sorry, come again.
5:48What was that?
5:49And the dispatcher then asked Steve
5:51if he's gone down to the basement to confirm
5:53that there is in fact a head in a bucket.
5:57And Steve says back to the dispatcher like,
5:59I don't know what the fuck's down there,
6:01like pardon my language,
6:02but I'm kind of a little freaked out here.
6:04Which honestly, very understandable.
6:06Now the dispatcher continues to ask Steve like,
6:11maybe is your girlfriend Tara maybe like hallucinating?
6:14Like we need confirmation here Steve.
6:16So Steve does decide to go down to the basement
6:19and check it out,
6:20but his eyesight is apparently really bad,
6:22and there isn't the best lighting down there,
6:25so he can't exactly make out
6:27what's down there or in the bucket, but he's definitely,
6:30he goes down there and he checks out and he's freaked out.
6:32So Steve goes back to his girlfriend, he's like,
6:34please can you just come downstairs and like confirm,
6:37because I don't know what you're seeing,
6:38but Tara just refuses to go downstairs.
6:42Fair.
6:43I can't blame them.
6:44If it is her son's head in a bucket,
6:47I don't think I would wanna go back there
6:50downstairs and look by myself alone either actually, yeah,
6:54that's a terrible idea.
6:55I don't know what I would do, I've never seen a head,
6:57let alone my nonexisting son's head.
7:00Oh, damn it Bailey.
7:01No, no.
7:04So then the dispatcher is like, okay, let me just,
7:06can I speak to Tara directly?
7:08Then they ask her,
7:09do you know where the rest of your son's body is?
7:12And she answers like, I have no idea.
7:14I just saw a head, can you get over here?
7:16So the dispatcher asked her for her son's name,
7:19and then that's when Tara tells 'em it's Shad Thyrion.
7:23And the dispatcher tells Tara
7:24that they're gonna send officers out to her immediately,
7:27they were already on their way,
7:28but she does check one last time about the head,
7:32the dispatcher, and she says like,
7:34are you sure it's not a fake head?
7:37And Tara says,
7:39"It's real, swear."
7:41So within minutes the police, they get down to Tara's house,
7:44she answers the door.
7:45Now she's really shaken up,
7:47so when police ask her to come in and see what's going on,
7:51all Tara can do is really just point
7:54in the direction of the basement.
7:55She's not really able to say anything.
7:58Nothing leaves her mouth.
8:00I mean it's her kid for Christ's sakes.
8:02I don't really blame her.
8:03It's funny how they always want you to act normal
8:05on these 911 calls and stuff,
8:06and you're like, just saw a head,
8:09kind of hard to act natural and normal here, ma'am.
8:12So one of the officers that shows up,
8:14his name is Officer Alex Wanish.
8:16He goes down and he takes a quick glance around the room
8:20and right away he can tell it's a crime scene, no question.
8:24When he looks around the room,
8:25he sees dried blood all over a bare mattress,
8:30and not far from this bare mattress covered in fucking blood
8:34was a black bucket
8:36that was on the floor and it was covered by a beach towel,
8:39but nobody was going to the beach, you know what I'm saying?
8:41So Officer Wanish, obviously head in the bucket,
8:45he hesitates a little bit,
8:46but he lifts the towel and sees,
8:50it's a head in a bucket.
8:51So then he quickly calls for backup.
8:5310-4, I've got a head in a bucket, over.
8:57Then the officer, he goes up to Tara and he's like,
9:00can I please get a picture of your son?
9:02I just wanna be able to confirm
9:04that it is indeed his head in the bucket.
9:07So she gives him the picture and he goes downstairs
9:10and he confirms that it is indeed Shad,
9:14Tara's son, Shad's head.
9:16He's like looking in this bucket,
9:18and then he also finds right underneath
9:20or like next to the severed head,
9:24there was also
9:26a penis in the bucket,
9:29with two testicles still attached.
9:34Huh?
9:35Yeah.
9:36Huh? Yeah.
9:37So the officer is looking around the room,
9:40you know it's a crime scene now.
9:41And that's where he notices that the blood
9:43wasn't just on the mattress.
9:45There were also like swishes of blood on the concrete floor.
9:50They looked like swirled finger paint, excuse me.
9:53But it really looked like somebody kind of had like a towel
9:57and was trying to like clean up the blood,
9:58but then they gave up.
10:00So the killer must have been like a little bit lazy.
10:03So the officer, he's searching around the room,
10:06and while he's looking around
10:07he finds two different blood soaked knives,
10:10and immediately he's thinking like, okay,
10:12these are probably the murder weapons.
10:15But they were not the only murder weapons lying around.
10:19Officer Wanish finds a plastic bag
10:21with three more bloody knives.
10:23Inside the plastic bag,
10:24one of those knives was like a bread knife.
10:27And then there were like other kitchen knives with it.
10:30So it was like either one or maybe all of these knives
10:33had been the murder weapon to kill Shad.
10:36Many more bags were found in the basement,
10:39and within these bags
10:41there were various body parts and organs
10:44that once belonged to Shad, inside of them.
10:47I mean it wasn't just Shad's head and genitals
10:51that were found, there was so much more.
10:54There was like this big blue storage container,
10:57and Officer Wanish finds Shad's upper torso inside of it.
11:03And to make matters worse,
11:05it's like inside of his upper torso,
11:09upper torso in the container,
11:11inside of the upper torso,
11:15gift within a gift.
11:17So as in Shad's chest, there was his foot.
11:22His foot was put in the, Lord be with us, Jesus.
11:27What? Yes.
11:28Shad's chest was being used as storage,
11:31I guess for his other parts,
11:33and below where his head was supposed to be,
11:35there were like these really stiff cuts,
11:37like someone was trying really, really hard
11:39to use one of these kitchen knives to saw off his head.
11:43But like it wasn't working and I don't know,
11:46but it was rough.
11:47Alongside in that blue container,
11:50there were also just various bodily fluids.
11:53It didn't say exactly what, but like it wasn't just blood.
11:58I think that says enough.
12:00So, okay, this officer, Officer W,
12:04I think it's Wanish,
12:06Officer W, he had pretty much walked into
12:08a very brutal, very manic crime scene.
12:12Shad's body had been completely dismembered.
12:14Certain parts were missing.
12:16Certain parts seemed to be in the wrong place.
12:18So it was like what the hell is going on, right?
12:22Within this murder room
12:23there was a glass pipe that was found,
12:25and like a gram of some kind of substance, it was noted,
12:29a light colored powdered material
12:32within like a bag next to it.
12:35And this was just sitting on the TV stand next to the bed.
12:40So to answer like what the hell is going on?
12:43It seemed to be the answer is meth, you know?
12:48So at this point it was confirmed Shad was murdered.
12:53And not only that, brutally murdered, brutally murdered.
12:57So the officer asked Tara, Shad's mom,
13:00like who was the last person to see Shad?
13:02Who was the who, what?
13:04And Tara tells him it was a friend of his,
13:06like a friend with benefits you could say.
13:09And that was 25-year-old Taylor Schabusiness.
13:15I'm gonna pause for that last name, Schabusiness.
13:19The things you could do with that last name.
13:22Schabusiness?
13:23Let's get down to Schabusiness.
13:25She could've been, Schabusiness, come on.
13:27I couldn't, I couldn't.
13:28I was like Schabusiness?
13:31Huh? Schabusiness.
13:32now I know what you're thinking.
13:33Great name, we all thought it. (giggling)
13:37Not her birth name. Not her birth name.
13:39I could go on and on for hours about the name Schabusiness,
13:43but I won't.
13:43She was born as Taylor Coronado in Evanston, Illinois,
13:48on November 23rd, 1997.
13:51She's a Sag, but we're not claiming her.
13:53She's been removed.
13:54So what's up with Taylor? Let me tell you.
13:56Taylor had shit life, let's just be honest.
13:59Shit life, thus far.
14:01She was raised by her parents, Marla,
14:04and her dad is Arturo Coronado,
14:07and she also had a younger brother named AJ.
14:09And although they weren't like a perfect family,
14:12which every family is not,
14:14they were together and they lived a somewhat
14:17decent middle class life, it was said.
14:19Taylor's dad, Arturo,
14:21he had been a longtime employee of a large phone company,
14:25I mean back in the dinosaur times
14:27when cell phones were like brick phones,
14:29and he had been working for this company forever.
14:31So you know, like they did well,
14:33they were comfortable, stable,
14:35and from the outside looked somewhat good.
14:38It was said when Taylor got into fourth grade,
14:41Arturo, he got transferred to Green Bay, Wisconsin,
14:44and that's when he decided to move the whole family
14:47to this new location, right?
14:49And put down their roots there.
14:50Her mother, Marla, was a severe alcoholic,
14:53and the kind of alcoholic that
14:56definitely could not make a super stable household.
15:01Marla was really sick.
15:03In May of 2009 when Taylor was 11,
15:06the whole family was like watching a movie together,
15:09everything's fine and great,
15:11but by morning, everyone went to bed, whatever.
15:14By morning, Arturo wakes up,
15:16he turns over to greet his wife, and in bed,
15:20that's when he finds her non-responsive, Marla.
15:25So he reached out to touch her and that's when he said
15:27that she was already cold.
15:29So Taylor's mom, Marla,
15:31she died of cirrhosis from alcoholism in her sleep
15:35at the age of only 41.
15:37It's so sad.
15:39So very young.
15:40Look as a parent, like Arturo is like,
15:43I'm just gonna try and hide what happened,
15:44because the kids have to go to school.
15:46So like in the morning the kids came into their bedroom,
15:49it was Taylor and AJ,
15:50and to say like good morning or something.
15:54But Arturo decided to shield them, the kids,
15:57from her lifeless body and send them off to school,
16:00like everything was normal.
16:01So they wouldn't see anything.
16:03It was said like Taylor knew deep down
16:04that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what,
16:07and it wasn't until like later that day
16:09when the kids came back from school and whatnot,
16:12that Arturo had broken the news to them
16:15that their mom had died.
16:17Marla's death obviously took a toll on the whole family,
16:20and it really hit Taylor the hardest.
16:23I mean, how could it not?
16:24It was her mom, you know?
16:25She was so young
16:26and she didn't know how to process her grief.
16:28And then on top of that, Arturo, Taylor's dad,
16:32he got married pretty quickly after her mother's death.
16:36So it's like a lot of change to go through,
16:39some trauma, right,
16:40that she really didn't get to process.
16:42So with all of that, as Taylor started growing up,
16:45you know she started to act out, you can say,
16:49getting into trouble,
16:50having like some kind of rage attacks.
16:53It was different.
16:54It was a different girl, according to Arturo.
16:57It was said that Taylor, at school,
16:59she started to like pick fights with everybody.
17:02She was constantly getting in trouble
17:04for her behavioral issues.
17:06And her dad, obviously he was concerned,
17:09but she's a young girl, she lost her mom.
17:13She's just acting out.
17:14She's being a pre-teen slash teenager.
17:17Like he tried his best but he felt like
17:20there wasn't much he could do,
17:22because she was just a teenager,
17:24which is like, okay, fair.
17:25But I don't know.
17:26But when Taylor turned 12 years old,
17:30Arturo, her dad,
17:31he had found her trying to end her life,
17:35and I guess she had taken like a knife to her throat,
17:40and when he found her it was just in time to like stop her.
17:43And at that point that's when her dad was like, okay,
17:47she needs help, she needs real help.
17:49So he immediately got her seen by a doctor
17:53for mental health.
17:55He took her to a mental health professional,
17:57in hopes that she could get some kind of real help
17:59that he didn't know how to deal with.
18:01Unclear if Taylor received actual treatment
18:04or if she just saw a doctor,
18:05but either way she was mainly treated with drugs.
18:08She was getting medication for like ADHD,
18:11she was getting mood stabilizers,
18:13antipsychotics and even antidepressants as well.
18:16Even with all the heavy medications Taylor was on
18:18to help her manage her mental health,
18:21it wasn't getting to the root of the problem, you know?
18:24So it still continued on.
18:26Up through high school, Taylor was constantly picking fights
18:31and I guess just being a menace really is how it sounded.
18:36Up through high school,
18:37Taylor, she just kept picking fights.
18:40She kept being awful,
18:41but she did meet a nice young man
18:43and get a boyfriend named Shad.
18:46Yes, this is when she met Shad.
18:48So both of them are just up to no good, being misfits.
18:51And after enduring years of behavioral problems,
18:54her school just had enough,
18:56and they decided it was best to expel Taylor.
18:59Now at this point, Arturo, her dad,
19:01had no idea like what to do with her anymore, right?
19:03She's acting out, he's trying his best.
19:06So he thought the best thing to do with her
19:08would be to send her off to Texas
19:09to live with her grandparents.
19:11And like that's where she would end up
19:13finishing school, high school,
19:15and she could just kind of get away
19:18from her Green Gay issues
19:20or whatever was going on back at home.
19:22And it was a really good move because Taylor,
19:24she ends up graduating high school in Texas.
19:28She gets her diploma and then after graduation she turns 18.
19:33She's feeling good and proud of herself or something.
19:37I don't know how she's feeling.
19:39But it was said she thought she was doing great,
19:43and decided it'd be best to just go off of her medications,
19:46which is very dangerous because a lot of times
19:49the medications will make you feel better.
19:51You think you're doing better,
19:52then you stop taking the medications because you're like,
19:54I don't need them anymore,
19:55because they're working and I feel great.
19:58And then they go off and that's not great.
20:03So then in 2017,
20:05Taylor's now 19,
20:07she thinks it'd be best to move back to Green Bay.
20:10She's fully off her medications,
20:12she's feeling good and she's ready
20:14for her triumphant return to Green Bay.
20:17At this point it was so that Taylor had been self-medicating
20:20with like weed, typical kind of like teenage stuff,
20:25and also alcohol.
20:27But then she started to experiment a little bit
20:30with something that she called, the bitch.
20:32The bitch.
20:33And you're probably wondering, well what's the bitch?
20:35Well, the quote-unquote, the bitch,
20:39is actually, it's meth.
20:42The bitch is meth.
20:43Yeah, I know a jump.
20:44She went from weed and alcohol to meth.
20:46I was like, wow, usually there's an in-between,
20:47but okay, yeah, straight to meth.
20:51All right.
20:52It was actually quote-unquote the bitch
20:54who introduced Taylor to the man
20:56that she would go on to marry, her drug dealer,
21:00Warren Schabow, Schabow, Schabow, Schabow.
21:05Warren, Dream man,
21:07he's in his 20s, he's tall, he has a job.
21:10So Taylor's like, wow, all of the bases are covered.
21:13Dream man, and Taylor was smitten.
21:15She falls hard for Warren and the two quickly become,
21:20they're inseparable, you know.
21:23Plus a two for one for her.
21:24She's like, I got my drug dealer and a lover slash husband,
21:28all right, I'm doing good.
21:29So their relationship was pretty rough
21:31right from the beginning.
21:33I mean plus on top of that they're doing meth
21:34so it's like it's not gonna be
21:36the smoothest relationship, right?
21:38Between the two of them,
21:39they were always making accusations about somebody cheating.
21:43They're like, you're cheating.
21:44No you're cheating, just messy.
21:46Allegedly, Warren was very controlling of Taylor
21:50right from the start,
21:51and he started to isolate her from the family.
21:54And Taylor once said that during a meth-fueled fight,
21:58she had run to her neighbor's house to call 911 for help.
22:02But you know, despite all of this, Taylor and Warren,
22:05the two of them got married in 2019.
22:09Oh great, just what they should do is get married.
22:12But here's the thing,
22:13instead of changing her last name to Warren's last name,
22:16which was Schabow,
22:17Warren has Taylor change her last name to Schabusiness.
22:22I guess it was Warren's idea.
22:24And she was like, okay, let's do it,
22:27and she did, Schabusiness.
22:30Meth, I don't know.
22:31Now meth a lot of the times is kind of, you know,
22:33it's kind of a joke.
22:35Meth, right?
22:36Some people talk about meth users
22:39as being just erratic and crazy and all that stuff,
22:41but they're some of the most erratic drug users of all time.
22:44It can make people absolutely just lose their minds,
22:48and their teeth fall out, they pick at their skin.
22:51I mean it's awful from what I hear.
22:53I've never done meth, I don't plan on it,
22:55but it's actually, it's more than that.
22:56It's like usually heartbreaking
22:57and it's almost an impossible addiction to break.
23:01When a person's on meth,
23:02they can experience hallucinations, paranoia,
23:06they can exhibit symptoms of what looks like schizophrenia.
23:09I mean the list goes on.
23:11But what I'm getting at is that
23:12meth really fucks you up, okay?
23:15And then long term,
23:18meth actually changes the literal shape of your brain.
23:22It rewires your brain's dopamine system,
23:25which is like the pleasure system,
23:27so that the only thing that makes you feel good
23:31is meth and only meth.
23:34So it's like, it's a demon and it truly is a bitch.
23:39It's just not something people
23:41can just stop easily on their own.
23:43You know, like sad.
23:46Hopefully you don't do meth.
23:48In July of 2020,
23:50Taylor was high on meth,
23:52and she was running around a Green Bay neighborhood,
23:55just knocking on people's doors.
23:59She's knocking on people's doors
24:01and someone calls the cops, obviously, right?
24:02Because this chick is just acting kind of crazy.
24:05Officers, they find Taylor on the streets
24:08and that's when she tells them that quote,
24:10"she's on a different planet right now," end quote, sick.
24:15And she ends up showing the officers
24:17her fresh track marks on her arms from her meth use.
24:20So at least they knew
24:21what they were working with I guess, I don't know.
24:24But they knew what they were working with.
24:27So they end up managing to calm Taylor down.
24:29But then another police officer shows up to the scene,
24:32and she's getting all spooked and kind of like scared.
24:35So she starts screaming at the officers,
24:38she walks into oncoming traffic,
24:41she's popping off and she's just acting erratic, okay?
24:46So the officer,
24:47they tried to get her to come back to the sidewalk,
24:51so she's not in traffic,
24:53but this time she's getting really angry
24:55and she starts to kick them
24:56and then they place her under arrest.
24:58And they also charge her with resisting arrest
25:02and battery on law enforcement,
25:04because she was kicking and screaming the officers.
25:06And because it was her first felony,
25:09she only got three years probation,
25:11and a mandatory psychological evaluation.
25:14I know they're like, it's your first felony.
25:17No more than a month later, in August of 2020,
25:21mind you, this was like peak pandemic by the way, remember?
25:24Yeah, none of us remember 'cause it's been a a blur.
25:26But what's Miss Taylor up to?
25:28Well she ends up getting pulled over,
25:31she's driving, woo woo.
25:33So she's like supposed to pull over
25:35but instead she floors it.
25:38I guess she needed to handle some Schabusiness.
25:42(drum rim shot) (faux crowd cheering)
25:43Thank you. Thank you.
25:46I had to do one.
25:47Okay, so she ends up flooring it
25:49and I guess she ends up sending police
25:52on a high speed chase through Green Bay.
25:55She runs a bunch of lights, almost hits a bunch of people.
26:00She ends up pulling into her dad's apartment complex
26:04where she then hops outta the car,
26:06tries to make a run for it, like an idiot.
26:08She gets out the car, she's running,
26:09she's trying to get to her dad's apartment for some reason,
26:12like she thinks she's really gonna escape the police,
26:16but they end up snatching her, arrest her.
26:18She only gets three months in jail
26:21and two more years of probation.
26:25I just feel like after this maybe you,
26:27you'd spend longer in jail, not three months.
26:29But what do I know? I don't know anything.
26:32I just know our legal system is dumb as shit.
26:35But I think we can all agree
26:36she's off to a pretty rocky start, right?
26:38And at this point in Taylor's life, she's like,
26:40you know what, you know what I haven't done yet?
26:43I haven't become a mother.
26:45Yeah, I know what better time to become a mom than this?
26:48Great, this is gonna go well.
26:50By the time Taylor is arrested in August of 2020,
26:53she's pregnant.
26:54And according to a friend,
26:56at this time when she was pregnant,
26:57she was still doing drugs.
26:59So she decides to end up moving back
27:02to her grandparents' house in Texas
27:04where she could try and live a clean life
27:06while she's pregnant.
27:07Meanwhile, Warren, her husband,
27:10I guess he had gone to jail,
27:12because he got caught dealing meth.
27:14So without him around,
27:16I think that's when she decided
27:17to go back to her grandparents.
27:18Makes sense, right?
27:19He's a drug dealer.
27:20So he was doing his job and he got caught for it.
27:22So he was charged with possession,
27:25with intent to distribute, a felony.
27:28So he got sent off to federal prison leaving Taylor
27:32to be a single mom
27:35and, good luck girl, you know?
27:38But this part, like it didn't make me laugh,
27:41it just made me like have a lot of question marks
27:43around my head, because I was like,
27:45Taylor got two felonies and barely had to serve any time,
27:50but he got caught and he had to serve a lot of time.
27:54So all right, you know?
27:56All right, can't figure that one out.
27:58In early 2021, Taylor ends up, she's 23 at this point,
28:03she delivers her baby boy,
28:05and Taylor decides to give motherhood her best shot.
28:10During this time she's also trying to keep her hands busy,
28:13trying to keep herself busy so she doesn't go back to using.
28:17She starts her own little small business
28:19where she's selling
28:22custom-beaded jewelry and she's selling it on Facebook.
28:27She's just doing her thing.
28:29But for Taylor, it was still a daily struggle for her.
28:33Like I guess woo, shortly after her son was born,
28:36Taylor had two suicide attempts back to back.
28:40One was in April of like 2021,
28:42and then another in May of 2021.
28:45Taylor wasn't officially diagnosed with postpartum,
28:48but after these two suicide attempts,
28:51Arturo, Taylor's father, knew that Taylor just,
28:55something wasn't right in her mind,
28:57and he was really worried about her
28:59trying to do it again.
29:00So he decides like or suggests
29:03that she should be admitted to a hospital,
29:05and she goes, and they give her a new set of diagnoses,
29:10PTSD,
29:11ADHD,
29:12and bipolar disorder.
29:13So at this time Taylor's baby goes to live
29:17with Warren's side of the family,
29:20and it's probably for the best hopefully.
29:22But she knows that she fully
29:24can't take care of him right now.
29:26Now I know to most of us it's like okay,
29:28this is probably Taylor's rock bottom.
29:30She lost her son, her husband is in federal prison,
29:34her mental health is in the toilet,
29:37and this is probably where she'll make a comeback.
29:40But no, so she was in the hospital for a little bit,
29:43and she ends up getting released or discharged,
29:45and she ends up staying with her dad for a few months.
29:47And it seemed like he was
29:49really stepping up to the plate for Taylor.
29:51Like he was the one person who was like stable for her.
29:55At least she had somewhere to go, and it was family.
29:58But, the downside, 'cause there's always a downside, right?
30:01A few months later, Arturo, Taylor's dad, he was arrested.
30:06Oh girl, let me tell you,
30:07'cause this is a fucking mess, a mess.
30:09He was arrested for raping a 13-year-old girl.
30:14Not great.
30:14So back in 2018,
30:16it was like three years prior to his arrest,
30:18he committed an extremely serious statutory rape
30:22with a then 13-year-old who was a relative of his then wife.
30:28I don't know if they're, his wife.
30:30Yeah, so what the fuck is up with his family?
30:33Green Bay, I guess. I don't know.
30:35So he ended up pleading no contest,
30:37and he cut a deal for a second degree
30:39sexual assault of a child charge instead of first degree.
30:45Yay, I don't know.
30:46Anyway, he was sentenced to 12 years and sent to prison.
30:51I know, Jesus.
30:53We don't know the dynamic of this family.
30:55Let's just say Taylor had no idea her dad
30:57was like this at all.
30:59It would suck for her to finally have some stability
31:02like her dad in her life again.
31:04And then he gets arrested and then you find out
31:06your dad's arrested for statutory rape.
31:09That would probably cause another
31:13rock bottom is what I'm thinking.
31:15So she's like, great, now my dad's gone.
31:18So now, Taylor is back on her own,
31:20and during this time she found out that Warren,
31:22her husband, had cheated on her yet again.
31:25I guess she found out that,
31:27while he was in prison,
31:28she found out that some infidelity
31:30had taken place before he went.
31:31Or maybe he cheated on her while he was in prison.
31:36Not really clear, but regardless,
31:38in January of 2022, Taylor went to her Facebook.
31:43She's like, look, here's the quote.
31:45"I got hitched to show them my commitment,
31:48loyalty and dedication to them.
31:50That I was never gonna be how I used to be.
31:53Then they turn around and fuck on me.
31:56There's no way I'll ever go into another relationship."
31:59Hashtag, can't trust no one.
32:02Yeah, you tell 'em Taylor, you tell 'em.
32:06Hashtag, can't trust no one, not even yourself.
32:09In February of 2022, Taylor is at a new low,
32:13and she's wanting to get back on the bitch.
32:17So she rekindles a friendship
32:19with her old high school lover, Shad.
32:23Now at this time, Shad too was really into meth,
32:26so they had a lot in common,
32:28and he could also get it for her.
32:30And in February of 2022 they got back in touch
32:34through a mutual friend,
32:36which led to Taylor and Shad
32:38spending most of their time together,
32:40just doing drugs and having sex,
32:43because that's what they did on meth.
32:45While her husband is in jail, she's like,
32:48I need my own buddy.
32:49So on the night of February 22nd,
32:51Taylor and a friend are looking to party.
32:54So the both of them,
32:54they jump into Taylor's roommate's minivan,
32:57and they go pick up Shad, and he's at his house
33:00where he lives with his mom, Tara, and her boyfriend, Steve.
33:02So they pick him up and they're driving
33:04and they make a pit stop to get some drugs.
33:07They pick up meth, weed and Trazodone,
33:09crowd favorites I hear.
33:11And they go back to Taylor's apartment to shoot the shit,
33:15smoke some weed, do some drugs.
33:18At this point, you know, I guess,
33:19I don't really know, I wasn't there,
33:21but allegedly everyone was having a great time.
33:23Taylor and Shad, they want a little bit more,
33:26they want, they really wanna get the party started.
33:28So that's when they break out like the meth,
33:30and they start doing the higher stuff.
33:33But the high, I guess when it gets too intense,
33:36that's when they take the Trazodone to like mellow it out.
33:40So they're going up, they're going down, they're going up,
33:41they're going down, they're going down, they're going down,
33:44they're going up, they're just all over the place.
33:46Well at some point their friend I guess
33:48is a little party pooper,
33:49and decides to leave Shad and Taylor to themselves,
33:53decides to go home, right?
33:54Shad and Taylor,
33:55they hang out at her apartment for a few more hours.
33:59They're waiting for their drugs to come down,
34:01and at that point I guess they're out of meth.
34:04So they decide let's go get more.
34:06They're pretty much all day on just a drug binge.
34:09So they leave Taylor's place,
34:12they go pick up more meth and then this time
34:15they head back to Shad's house
34:17where he lives with his mom, and they go inside,
34:21and they head straight down to the basement,
34:22because the basement is where
34:23like is the hangout spot, right?
34:25You get a hangout spot.
34:27By the time they make it back to Shad's place,
34:30it's already late.
34:31Like it's early in the morning depending on who you ask.
34:34But all Taylor knows is that she is on a good one.
34:38So they're down there just doing drugs.
34:40She passes Shad the glass pipe loaded with the bitch,
34:43because he wants to be on her level.
34:46They settle in for no more than five minutes.
34:49And at this point Shad pulls out,
34:52and shows Taylor two silver chain link necklaces.
34:57I know I was thinking like Hot Topic
34:58like necklace type of deal, but it's not,
35:01it's a dog choke collar, and he's like
35:04suggesting that they use it
35:06while they're having sexual intercourse
35:08and she's like, yeah I'm into that.
35:11It was her thing, it was their thing.
35:13They both liked it.
35:14So they're both into this kink being choked, you know?
35:16And they had done it before consensually,
35:20which is always important, right?
35:22Consent.
35:23Taylor and Shad or no strangers to this,
35:25you know, they were like really into it, allegedly.
35:28But this time, Shad I guess really wanted
35:30to kick it up a notch,
35:31and use the chains and like
35:35I guess Taylor was just so down for it.
35:37She's like, what?
35:38Yeah, that's, yeah.
35:40So, just a disclaimer,
35:43the following of what I'm going to say
35:46is what Taylor said during her confession.
35:48So, it's very one-sided, okay?
35:51And when she was giving her confession, she was high.
35:55So a lot of it is kind of wacky and whatever.
35:59But this is the information we have, okay?
36:01So it's not me saying these things.
36:03This was according to Taylor.
36:05So Taylor said that Shad had the chains around his neck
36:09and he laid facedown on the bed.
36:11Taylor said that she gets on top of him
36:13as if like she's gonna ride a horse,
36:15and she begins to pull on the loose end of the chain.
36:18She said as she was pulling on the chain,
36:22she like watched Shad and she sees his face turn
36:25from red to purple, and then she notices him
36:29going in and out of consciousness.
36:32Taylor would say during her high it was cool,
36:35because she was like wow, I can like change his face color.
36:38So she keeps applying pressure on the chain
36:41trying to make him go
36:42from red to purple to blue to whatever.
36:46And she tells police officers during her confession
36:49that because she was high, she wanted to make him small.
36:53Like when she choked him he got smaller, I don't know.
36:57But according to her, again because she's high,
37:00she was choking him and it was appearing
37:03that his neck was rebuilding muscle.
37:07So because of this she was getting more and more frustrated
37:09and she was pulling harder and harder on the chain.
37:12She said at one point Shad,
37:14he like coughs up blood and she said
37:17that she could feel his heartbeat
37:21like kind of really slow down and come to a halt.
37:24And that somehow excited her even more,
37:28so she pulls even harder.
37:31At this point, she said she was in full ecstasy
37:34and she knew Shad was dead according to his face,
37:37because he was purple and he had blood
37:40coming out of his mouth.
37:41So she knew like something wasn't right or he was dead.
37:45But that didn't stop her, she keeps going,
37:48and the police ask her,
37:49why the hell did you keep going
37:51if you knew he was dead?
37:54And she said because of curiosity.
37:58She wanted to see what would happen.
38:00Yeah, I don't know girl.
38:01So Taylor, in her words,
38:03quote "accidentally fucks up," end quote,
38:07and realizes that she had just killed Shad.
38:11- You said that when you were choking him,
38:12he was coughing up blood.
38:13You kind of were like, eh I've gone this far,
38:15I'm just gonna keep going.
38:16Did you realize that by continuing that,
38:19that you'd kill him?
38:21Like yeah, because I felt bad.
38:23'Cause I'm like,
38:24damn he's gonna be wheezing after this.
38:26I'm like might as well just kill him.
38:27- But she said that she had no remorse.
38:29In her higher self,
38:32it was all about chasing this pleasure feeling,
38:35and she was feeling it.
38:37So after she's done choking him,
38:39she decides to quote-unquote, play with him.
38:43In other words, she takes her sweet time
38:47with Shad's lifeless body
38:48and his body is like turning her on.
38:53In her confession she said that Shad's lifeless body
38:56turned her on so much
38:58that she wanted to touch and kiss it
39:00and love on it all over.
39:04Yeah.
39:05This next part kept me up a little too late at night,
39:07because she ends up performing oral sex on his corpse.
39:12A visual I could have done without.
39:13She ends up putting different sex toys,
39:17she has sex toys on deck.
39:18I'm assuming, I couldn't figure this out,
39:20but I'm assuming this is probably where Shad slept
39:23is in this basement, and what's her name?
39:27Taylor, pulls out some sex toys,
39:29and she ends up like playing with his body,
39:32and the sex toys and different things to his corpse.
39:37She's doing it all,
39:40and,
39:43I don't know what the fuck that, I don't know.
39:44Yeah I was like, what?
39:47What girl? Yeah she did that.
39:49She did it for hours allegedly, according to her confession.
39:54She ends up playing with his corpse for far too long
39:57until she gets really tired or her high wears off.
40:01Taylor, at this point,
40:03when she's playing with the corpse's body,
40:05she had been awake for over 24 hours.
40:08So after she's done playing with his body, she's like,
40:12I'm tired, and decides to take a quick little nap.
40:15Yeah, I don't know you guys, like what?
40:17Huh? She did that.
40:18She got down to Schabusiness didn't she? Wow.
40:21So, then she takes a nap.
40:22So then when she wakes up she thinks it would be best
40:25to take Shad's body with her out of the house.
40:28But she knows,
40:29I can't just like carry his body
40:31out of the basement by myself and then carry him to the van.
40:35So this is when she has a light bulb moment
40:39and she decides, oh my God, duh.
40:41I could just cut him up into small manageable pieces,
40:45and then I can carry 'em.
40:46That's a great idea, Taylor.
40:48Yeah, I know. Thanks.
40:49And this was her plan.
40:50So the first thing I guess Taylor wants to do
40:54is she wants his head.
40:56According to her it was like her trophy,
40:58she was proud of it, but also she really liked Shad.
41:02She wanted his head, it was her favorite part.
41:05So while Shad's family is asleep, Taylor creeps upstairs,
41:09she goes to the kitchen,
41:10she grabs like a handful of knives to take with her
41:13downstairs to the basement.
41:16So Taylor pulls Shad's body to the edge of the bed.
41:19So his head is like hanging off of the edge of the bed,
41:22and she puts a bucket right underneath him,
41:25and she starts experimenting with a few of the knives
41:28that she had grabbed from the kitchen.
41:30She's trying to sever Shad's head,
41:32but none of them were working,
41:33so she's getting all frustrated.
41:34That is until she busts out the bread knife.
41:38Now I guess this bread knife,
41:40it made it very easy to cut through the skin and muscles.
41:44So she loved this knife.
41:47She's like, oh this is the shit,
41:48and just starts going to town.
41:49She goes at it and Taylor successfully
41:53is able to remove Shad's head.
41:56She had this bucket under his head, right?
41:58And it was catching like all of his blood.
42:00So she takes that bucket
42:02and she pours all of his fluids down in the shower.
42:07There was like this janky shower in the basement.
42:09But she pours his blood down the shower drain,
42:12and then she puts his head in the bucket.
42:15The head isn't enough though,
42:17she wants to take all of him home with her.
42:20So she continues,
42:21she takes that bread knife again and she cuts off
42:24her second favorite thing, his genitals, yeah.
42:28So she got the head, now she wants the genitals.
42:31She cuts it off and she puts his penis and testicles
42:34into the bucket, and then moves onto the rest of his body.
42:38But after this, she needs another nap.
42:42So she's like, I'm gonna do the rest,
42:43I just need a, I need a nap.
42:45Hold on.
42:46So she takes another nap.
42:48I guess this nap just gives her some new energy,
42:51because she wakes up and she fucking gets down.
42:54And what I mean is like, it's awful,
42:56because she wakes up, she has energy, I don't know.
42:59She manages to cut shad in half long ways.
43:05Yeah.
43:06Not all the way in half but like opens him up because it,
43:08she's able to get inside of his chest,
43:11stomach and pelvic area, and she takes all of his organs out
43:15and she puts them in random like plastic Walmart bags.
43:18Yeah.
43:19And she just starts going to town.
43:21She's taking out everything, putting them into bags.
43:24I don't know, no one knows what she's doing,
43:25she's just doing it.
43:26That's when she places Shad's torso
43:29into that big blue container.
43:31And then Taylor saws Shad's arms off at the elbows,
43:36and puts it in the storage container.
43:39But no matter how many times she saw the arms off,
43:42in her mind, because again she's high,
43:45she tells police that they were growing back.
43:47- When I said I was tripping out,
43:49the body was rebuilding itself.
43:51because I already cut off his arm,
43:53and his arm came back on.
43:54- So she's like tripping out,
43:55just like panicking and like going to town.
43:58She's tripping hard.
44:00Taylor keeps, just keeps at it though.
44:02And she cuts off Shad's left foot,
44:05and puts it in the empty chest.
44:07She said she put the foot in the chest for storage,
44:11because she was gonna move it all, you know?
44:13So she's like yeah, the chest will hold the foot.
44:16That was a new one for me.
44:17Haven't heard that.
44:19I was like, all right.
44:22I guess at this point, Taylor was just exhausted.
44:25She had done a lot, right?
44:27So she slows down a little bit
44:29and she starts to dabble with more delicate work.
44:32Like she starts to filet his back, and right thigh,
44:36like cutting off the skin.
44:38She goes, she cuts it off all the way down to the bone.
44:41And I was like, oh no, don't tell me she ate it.
44:43She didn't eat it.
44:45No eating, that we know of.
44:47She said during the interview that at some point
44:50she had a Jolly Rancher with her,
44:53and that once she cut off his head and stuff,
44:56and she put it all in the bucket,
44:57she took that Jolly Rancher and she spit it into the bucket.
45:00She's like, that's all I ate was a Jolly Rancher,
45:03and I spit it in the bucket.
45:04Okay girl, all right,
45:06everything seems fine here,
45:07total normal confession happening.
45:10I mean there's a mess and blood everywhere.
45:13And the bitch was just making her paranoid.
45:16She said she started having more intense hallucinations.
45:19She's hearing footsteps, she's hearing gunshots,
45:23the room begins to make her very uncomfortable,
45:26and on top of that she's like there was no door,
45:28and it's just scary and dark and eerie,
45:32and she wants to be done with all this,
45:33'cause she's just really fucking in her head,
45:35'cause she's high.
45:36So with all this being said, she starts cleaning.
45:41She's like, I have to go, we have to get outta here,
45:42we have to go.
45:43She starts cleaning like crazy, right?
45:45She starts off strong, clean, clean, clean.
45:48But then she ultimately gets lazy
45:49and starts to half-ass everything.
45:51She's like, I don't wanna clean anymore, I'm hungry.
45:53Where's my Jolly Rancher?
45:55Where'd my Jolly Rancher go?
45:57She ends up throwing the towel over the bucket
46:00with Shad's head in it and penis.
46:02And she said that she threw the towel over
46:05with the full intention of her like taking it home.
46:08But she's rushing at this point
46:10to get the hell out of there.
46:11So she grabs his still intact, left foot and leg,
46:16and forgets all about the bucket.
46:20She leaves it behind.
46:22Now this should bring us all the way back to the beginning,
46:25'cause we know what happened next.
46:26Tara, Shad's mom, finds the head in the bucket,
46:30and then tells police to go looking for Taylor Schabusiness.
46:34I guess Shad's mom said Taylor and Shad
46:36had been hanging out in the basement for well over 24 hours
46:39before she had found his head,
46:41that they had come home late Monday night.
46:44They had spent all day,
46:46they didn't come out of the basement Tuesday,
46:49and they were just doing their thing down there.
46:51And Shad's mom said, "they're old enough to like hang out.
46:54And also I didn't wanna walk in
46:56just randomly down in the basement
46:58and accidentally see them having sex or something."
47:00Like that was her reasoning as to why
47:02she didn't go down there and check.
47:04I could see that but you know, okay sure.
47:07So with this information,
47:08police dispatch a unit of police officers
47:11to Taylor's apartment to locate the minivan
47:15that she was driving the night of Shad's death.
47:19And they end up finding this minivan
47:21at Taylor's apartment complex.
47:23They get her address,
47:24they go right to her apartment complex, there's the van.
47:26The officers, they didn't even need
47:28to shine their flashlights into the van,
47:30because as they approached the vehicle,
47:34the van, like the lights turned on by themselves
47:37as if someone was either locking
47:39or unlocking the door with a remote.
47:42So they're like, okay, weird.
47:44So the police officers are looking inside
47:46the window of the the van,
47:47and they can see like a basket full
47:49of what seemed to be dirty laundry.
47:51And on top of the laundry was a crockpot box.
47:56So no crockpot, but like the box it came in.
47:59So the officers, they turn their attention
48:01to the outside of the car, and they're looking around
48:04and they could see that there are a few droplets of blood.
48:08So they look and they see that there are footprints,
48:11because it's snowing, mind you.
48:13So they see blood in the snow and they also see footprints
48:16leading them straight to the apartment building
48:19that this person walked to with some blood following them.
48:23It was like they didn't have to try that hard,
48:25it led them right to her.
48:27So they start heading to the building,
48:28but before they get there, Taylor just walks right out.
48:31Maybe that's why the light of the van was on,
48:34like maybe she was coming back to grab something
48:36or maybe leave, but she comes right out,
48:39so they stop her.
48:41This is all on like body cam footage too.
48:44And like the second Taylor sees the police officer,
48:47she like stops dead in her tracks.
48:49What's she saying?
48:50But she doesn't try to run or like get away.
48:52She just stops and just is kind of like smiling,
48:55'cause she's weird.
48:56So the police officers, they approach her,
48:58they see that she's wearing like,
48:59she's wearing all black.
49:00She's got on a black hoodie, black sweatpants.
49:03And when they look more closely they can see
49:05that the sweatpants were caked
49:07in what clearly looked like dried blood.
49:10Then they take a look at her hands,
49:11and they can see like also stained with blood.
49:16And on top of that,
49:18one thing Detective Bailey noticed was that
49:20she had on a full face of makeup, she even had a lash on.
49:25I know, I was like, what is this girl doing?
49:26Who puts on a lash to murder someone?
49:29Or did she put on the lash after the fact
49:31so she could get a nice mugshot?
49:33But she had a full beat on.
49:36I was like, okay girl, whatever.
49:37Her priorities are a little fucked up.
49:40So of course, placed under arrest, right?
49:42They search her van.
49:44They look inside the van, and inside that crock pot box,
49:48that's where they find Shad's leg and foot.
49:51And at this moment that's when they realize
49:53that they've got their killer.
49:55So they take Taylor to the police station
49:57where obviously they get
49:59all their photographs that they need,
50:00like her blood stained hands, her bloody clothes,
50:03the rest of her body.
50:04After they're done taking the pictures,
50:06they give her, you know that jumpsuit,
50:08the orange jumpsuit that they make all criminals where?
50:12And then they leave her alone in the interrogation room
50:14where they catch her on camera saying like,
50:18I fucking hate this outfit.
50:20- I hate this outfit.
50:23Never in my life.
50:25(Bailey laughing)
50:27- That part made me laugh because I feel like maybe
50:30her concerns seem a little misplaced,
50:33but she really fucking hates this outfit.
50:36My girl murdered someone,
50:37so I don't think the outfit is really
50:41what you should worry about, but I don't know.
50:43So she's being interrogated by a detective named Graf,
50:47and he's asking her all types of questions,
50:49where she tells him
50:50that Shad was her ex-boyfriend slash fuck buddy.
50:53They let her know that they found a lot of blood
50:56and Shad's head in a bucket in his mother's basement.
51:00to which Taylor responded,
51:01quote, "that is pretty fucked up."
51:05- Yeah.
51:06- When I was watching this I was like,
51:07what the is going on right now?
51:08What the fuck is going on right now?
51:12I could not wrap my head around her confession.
51:15Well the Detective Graf asked Taylor
51:16more questions about Shad
51:18and like what she did back at the house.
51:20It suddenly dawned on her
51:21that she had totally forgotten about Shad's head,
51:25and then all of a sudden like during questioning,
51:27she bursts out like, this is a quote,
51:29"Damn, the head, I can't believe I left the head though."
51:33- I know I forgot the head.
51:34I can't believe I left the head though.
51:36- I'm sure they got the right chick, you know.
51:38So detectives ask her the one question
51:40that we all wanna know, why?
51:42Why did you kill Shad? What happened?
51:44You know, why did you do it?
51:46And her response to them was quote,
51:48"Good question because I blacked out during that time.
51:51But I need to think."
51:53End quote.
51:55I know, I feel like killers,
51:56they always love a good like blackout moment in their story.
51:59They always black out,
52:01but then they seem to remember everything.
52:03It's so funny, isn't it?
52:05They love a blackout.
52:06Detectives ask her, okay,
52:08well do you think the whole body's still there?
52:10And then she answers to them like I don't see why not,
52:12unless I just like left it, which I could have.
52:15Then they ask Taylor how she felt when she strangled him,
52:18and she tells them in like a really lower creepy tone.
52:22"I liked it.
52:23It was very exciting, everything was.
52:26You should check my panties." End quote.
52:30Not kidding.
52:31She said that, this is not okay.
52:34This is not okay. I'm not kidding.
52:36She said that. Check my panties.
52:40No, girl, no.
52:44Girl, what are you doing?
52:46It gets worse.
52:47Like if you think this is bad,
52:48it just keeps getting worse and worse.
52:50The detectives ask her like, did Shad try to fight back?
52:53And she was like, yeah he did but I won.
52:55When they get to Shad's dismemberment,
52:57they ask her if it took her all day,
52:59and she tells them like yeah it did.
53:01And they question if she had taken any other drugs
53:04during that time.
53:05And then Taylor answers, no she didn't.
53:09But I should have.
53:10- I was getting pissed off
53:11at the dismemberment process, actually.
53:13- Did it take a while? It took a while.
53:15- Yeah, because like I was nodding out,
53:17- Had you taken any other drugs?
53:19- I should've, I should've took drugs.
53:21It probably would've helped.
53:22- They asked her how she dismembered Shad's body
53:25and she goes into very great detail
53:27and tells 'em about the knives in the kitchen,
53:29and that her favorite was the bread knife.
53:31- The bread knife works good.
53:33- Bread knife?
53:34- The bread knife works really good on him.
53:36- I got a snack really quick 'cause I'm hungry.
53:38I haven't eaten yet.
53:39Okay, so there.
53:42Dismemberment, Bailey.
53:43Okay, towards the end of Taylor's interrogation,
53:46that's when she start to like,
53:47she's coming down or off of her drugs maybe,
53:50because that's when she's starting to like apologize.
53:53She's telling detectives that she didn't mean
53:55for all this to happen,
53:57that she fucked up and that she was sorry.
54:00And it's like, yeah girl, that's what you did.
54:04But it's too late, she already gave her full confession.
54:06DNA everywhere. Girl, you're getting charged.
54:09You fucking killed someone, brutally,
54:11like what are you doing?
54:12You can't just say sorry and it's all okay.
54:14Don't be dumb.
54:15I think it's safe to say that meth
54:16really kind of ruined Taylor's brain, right?
54:20After her arrest,
54:21authorities had a really hard time deciding
54:23if she was mentally healthy enough to even stand trial.
54:27Taylor was assigned a lawyer,
54:28and their name was Quinn Jolly.
54:33Don't get me started on these names, okay?
54:35Quinn Jolly. (laughing)
54:38Quinn Jolly, weirdly enough also represented her dad
54:42in his sexual assault case.
54:44So it was like a BOGO.
54:45So they end up going to her court hearing
54:48where the judge would determine
54:49if they could delay Taylor's trial
54:51to get an expert to evaluate her,
54:53because they submitted a plea of not guilty
54:56by reason of mental disease or defect,
54:59which is kind of valid, right?
55:00But not really. It's not, let me tell you why.
55:02Now, I don't know if you guys saw this, but I saw this shit.
55:05So I was watching the court trial, I was like, what?
55:07I just, I could not believe the story,
55:09just could not believe it.
55:10I thought it was fake.
55:12And then I also thought like the whole court trial was like,
55:15did you guys watch,
55:18"Jury Duty"?
55:19I thought it was like that, and it wasn't.
55:22It was real because, okay look, they go to a hearing, right?
55:25Taylor ends up losing her shit at this hearing.
55:28So she's sitting right next to her lawyer,
55:31Mr. Jolly or whatever the fuck.
55:33And the judge is kind of like having a hard time
55:36approving a short delay of the trial,
55:40trying to determine, right?
55:41Then out of nowhere, Taylor,
55:43who was handcuffed by chains at the waist
55:45in her orange jumper,
55:48she all of a sudden outta nowhere jumps up
55:51and leads with her elbow
55:55to punch her lawyer.
55:57She gets up, she tries to punch, tries to smack.
56:00She full on attacks her lawyer, it's not funny,
56:04but I was like, I've never seen this before in a courtroom.
56:07Wow.
56:07Takes him down pretty much to the ground.
56:10The deputies in the courtroom, they were like slow,
56:12like, where were they?
56:13I don't know.
56:14It was a hot mess.
56:15They wrestled Taylor to the ground,
56:16and they end up clearing the court
56:18before continuing with the hearing.
56:20It was wild.
56:21So many were kind of like,
56:23if she wanted to show the judge
56:25that she was mentally incompetent,
56:26like this is how she would do it.
56:28Some really thought that she was just leaning into this
56:30in hopes for the judge to see that she is mentally unwell.
56:34And that was kind of like the debate for a minute.
56:36But then as you continue watching the court trial,
56:38I just think this is who she is as a person.
56:40After that whole ordeal,
56:42she was assigned another public defender, fair.
56:46Taylor, she went and got evaluated in February
56:48by a state psychologist to see if she could
56:52take the stand, right, is she fit?
56:54Well, this one psychologist came back and said,
56:57no, like Taylor is not mentally fit to stand trial.
57:00She's not, she can't.
57:01This psychologist told the court
57:03that during one of her evaluations with Taylor,
57:05Taylor had freaked out,
57:07got up out of her seat and started screaming.
57:10Then she took herself to the corner of the room
57:13and picked up a chair,
57:15which luckily was a plastic chair,
57:17and hawked that shit at the psychologist.
57:21The psychologist said that in their 32 years of practice,
57:25no one has ever thrown a chair at her.
57:28But despite this,
57:29the judge ruled that Taylor was competent to stand trial.
57:33It's a very hot take.
57:37Taylor's trial started earlier this year, July of 2023.
57:42Do not recommend.
57:43I watch a lot of court trials.
57:45I wanna work in a courtroom one day, so I'm always watching.
57:48But this court trial was nothing like I've ever seen before.
57:52At the beginning,
57:53Taylor's new lawyer asked the court to exclude
57:56Taylor's internet search history
57:58before the murder took place,
58:00because this happened before the murder took place,
58:03had nothing to do with what happened, right?
58:06And the reason that they wanted her internet search history
58:09to not be shown was because she was making
58:11some questionable searches.
58:14In court, they had read them and it was like,
58:16oh my fucking girl.
58:18She was looking up Jeffrey Dahmer
58:20walking into court, all sexy.
58:22There was another one,
58:24Jeffrey Dahmer's butt.
58:27It was like when a kid first gets the internet.
58:29The judge ended up ruling
58:31that the evidence could be admitted to court.
58:34So we have a little Jeffrey Dahmer lover over here,
58:37and I don't get it.
58:38There's so many fish in the sea.
58:40Why? Why?
58:41Why Jeffrey Dahmer?
58:42The witness stand during trial was a fricking hot mess.
58:45They called to the stand a friend who was,
58:48or the friend who was with them the night of Shad's murder.
58:51Remember the friend who was a party pooper and left?
58:53So they call up this friend to the stand
58:55and they asked him if he noticed anything weird
58:57with Taylor's behavior that night.
58:58And he said no, the vibes were chill.
59:01Another person who was called to the stand
59:04was Taylor's father, Arturo.
59:08Let me tell you, they bring him into court,
59:10he's in his orange jumpsuit,
59:12he's also handcuffed because he is serving
59:14his sexual assault sentence situation, his rape.
59:18He ends up taking the stand.
59:20He tells the court that Taylor's mental health
59:21had been declining ever since her mom died.
59:24And then he goes on to blame Taylor's husband, Warren,
59:28saying that everything was fine
59:30until he got out of jail and fucked everything up.
59:34He introduced his daughter to these drugs,
59:38and she got involved and he just, he fucked her up.
59:41So he's done with his testimony.
59:43They're walking him out of the courtroom,
59:46and Taylor's sitting there, she's looking at her dad.
59:48She's like, I love you.
59:49And then he's like, I love you, too.
59:51They're talking to each other, which you're not supposed to.
59:53And then after they walk him out of the courtroom,
59:57Taylor yells, go Bears.
59:59- [Arturo] Love you.
1:00:00- I love you, too.
1:00:01- [Arturo] Go Bears.
1:00:02- Go Bears.
1:00:04I'm smiling because I was like,
1:00:06honey, now's not the time.
1:00:09No.
1:00:10(Bailey munching)
1:00:13I was like, girl.
1:00:15Go Bears? At a murder trial?
1:00:18I mean if you watch the trial, which you shouldn't,
1:00:21'cause I'm giving you the whole rundown,
1:00:22but you can tell, or she seems,
1:00:24Taylor seems very mentally unwell.
1:00:27Every time someone's on the stand,
1:00:28she's looking straight at the court cameras
1:00:30and she's just staring at them.
1:00:32And then she's laughing, she's giggling all throughout.
1:00:34She can't stop laughing.
1:00:36Girl, you murdered someone.
1:00:37What is your problem? Get it together.
1:00:40She's always making some kind of face
1:00:42like somebody farted, you know?
1:00:44But in court I guess,
1:00:46mental illness brought on by drugs,
1:00:48or a mental illness that seems to be extreme
1:00:52because of drugs,
1:00:54is not considered a quote-unquote
1:00:56true mental illness because of the drugs.
1:01:00So if you kill someone while high, you are liable,
1:01:03and that's why she was able to go through the whole trial.
1:01:07After the whole trial,
1:01:08the jury only took one hour
1:01:12to find Taylor Schabusiness guilty on all charges.
1:01:17First degree intentional homicide,
1:01:19mutilating a corpse, third degree sexual assault.
1:01:24And she was facing mandatory life in jail,
1:01:29as she should because what the fuck?
1:01:32Remember Taylor Schabusiness's husband, Warren Schabow?
1:01:37Well, since her arrest,
1:01:39he really stepped up his husband game.
1:01:41He's still in federal prison serving his sentence,
1:01:44but I guess they get access to Facebook in prison.
1:01:48I didn't look this up, I forgot to.
1:01:49Throughout the trial,
1:01:50Warren used Facebook to voice his support for his wife,
1:01:54like no matter what she did.
1:01:56He was posting like,
1:01:57I'm so blessed to be with Taylor.
1:01:58My wife is locked up, but like I love her regardless.
1:02:02She is my (indistinct), blah, blah, blah.
1:02:04He would go on and on, like she would never do this.
1:02:06She was just having a bad day.
1:02:08He was like, boy, shut up.
1:02:10Everyone just needs to shut up.
1:02:13She and Warren are still in communication often.
1:02:16At least, I don't know about right this second,
1:02:19but when I was researching all this,
1:02:21like they were writing letters to each other.
1:02:24She was directing him on like what to post on his Facebook.
1:02:27Saying like, honey, you need to like post
1:02:29that I'm innocent and that
1:02:31you're standing by me or whatever.
1:02:34Yeah,
1:02:36yeah.
1:02:36But that's mainly it.
1:02:38I think they're still married.
1:02:39Well, Taylor will be spending the rest of her life in prison
1:02:43for murdering Shad, as she should be, because it was brutal.
1:02:48I guess today's story really stuck out for me personally.
1:02:51Like it really was like, what the fuck?
1:02:54I could not wrap my head around it,
1:02:56because of well, obviously how brutal it is.
1:02:58I think we can all agree that it was very brutal.
1:03:03And I guess I was really shocked
1:03:05because you don't hear these types of stories a lot,
1:03:08when it comes to women killing, right?
1:03:10Like this is such mainly
1:03:13a man thing, not to be sexist or anything, right?
1:03:17But I think we can agree in these true crime stories,
1:03:19it's always the men who go off like this.
1:03:21Rarely is it a woman.
1:03:23And for the first time I was like, holy fucking shit.
1:03:26Like she went off and yeah, probably because of the meth,
1:03:31but still I was like, holy fuck.
1:03:34Never have I ever heard a horrifying story like this.
1:03:38And drugs are bad.
1:03:40And I'm glad it wasn't used as an excuse for her
1:03:43to get like a lesser sentence,
1:03:45because she shouldn't get a lesser sentence.
1:03:48Shad's life was lost because of this woman,
1:03:52and Shad's mom, forever traumatized, right?
1:03:56It's just sad.
1:03:57I didn't wanna look up like where
1:03:59Taylor's kid or baby was at,
1:04:01'cause none of that matters, right?
1:04:04And I don't think we need to know.
1:04:06But what the fuck was that about?
1:04:10I don't know.
1:04:11Go Bears?
1:04:13Need I say more?
1:04:14Anyways, I would love to hear you guys' thoughts down below.
1:04:17Do you think she should have got tried as mentally unwell?
1:04:22Obviously she's not mentally well,
1:04:24I think we can all agree on that,
1:04:26but you still murdered someone,
1:04:28and you can't even just murder, girl,
1:04:29like you fucking chopped up.
1:04:31And that is,
1:04:33that's a different type of brain
1:04:35that I don't ever wanna encounter.
1:04:36And yes, you have to be in jail for a long time, Taylor.
1:04:40Pay for what you did girl.
1:04:41Sorry
1:04:43but, go Bears.
1:04:45Anyways, let me know what you guys think down below.
