A Green Bay woman is accused of decapitating a man and placing his head in a bucket. The graphic details were released Tuesday in a criminal complaint. Police arrested Taylor Schabusiness, 24, and charged her with one count each of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and third-degree sexual assault.
Officers said they found the victim’s head early last Wednesday morning in a bucket in the basement of a home in Green Bay. Detectives said Schabusiness was last seen with the victim. When they found her, police said she appeared to have blood on her clothes and hands.
Taylor Schabusiness, allegedly the last person to have seen the 25-year-old victim alive, was found at a nearby house. Her clothing was spackled in dried blood, according to the complaint, and police searching her van found a crockpot box containing other human body parts, “including legs.”
When police asked her what had happened, Schabusiness replied, “That is a good question.” She was later charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and third-degree sexual assault. Schabusiness allegedly killed and dismembered her victim after first smoking methamphetamine with him, according to the complaint.
They initiated a sexual encounter that then escalated to include the use of chains, which Schabusiness characterized as a dog’s choke collar. There were two, she said—one for her and one for him.
