Thyrion's severed head was discovered by his mother, Tara Pakanich, in a bucket in the basement of their family home in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Other severed body parts, including Thyrion's bisected torso in a storage tote, were later discovered by police.

[2] On February 21, 2022, at around 9:30 p.m., Thyrion was picked up from the home of his mother, Tara Pakanich, by Taylor Schabusiness, with whom he had a sexual relationship.

Schabusiness stated in her interrogation that she and Thyrion also smoked methamphetamine, and injected Trazodone at the apartment after the friend left.

Hendricks then called the police who did a search of the basement and found human organs stuffed into plastic bags and cardboard boxes.

Additional body parts including a leg were also found later in a crock pot box inside Schabusiness's minivan.

[6] Schabusiness, earlier that year on January 3, was convicted and sentenced for 3 months for fleeing, eluding, and obstructing police.

Around ten minutes after the attack, Jolly told Judge Walsh he planned to file a motion to be removed from the case.

[12] On July 26, a jury convicted Schabusiness of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilation of a corpse, and third-degree sexual assault.

"[2] Schabusiness is serving out her sentence at the Taycheedah Correctional Institution, a facility housing only female inmates that is located in the city of Fond du Lac.
