Today we are revisiting a case I covered last year. It was a little over one year ago on February 8, 2022, that a bizarre case came to light when Jupiter Police arrested a couple for allegedly keeping one of their children in a box in their garage. Since then, the parents who allegedly kept their boy in a box have been in court several times, while awaiting trial.

In this episode, we're staring straight into the eyes of evil– a person has been characterized as so cold and so remorseless they're almost impossible to fathom. A person whose alleged actions are drawing terrifying parallels to the notorious serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer. The story involves a man from Green Bay, Wisconsin named Shad Thyrion. Shad worked at his family's business with his father and grandfather. He was described as a kind, compassionate person who enjoyed wood carving, camping, games, and family time, but on the inside Shad had a few secrets. And one of those secrets may have ultimately been part of his tragic demise. Don’t get me wrong, his secret interests were no reason for him to die. However, around 3:25 am on February 23rd 2022, he was found dead. In the most horrible way. All that was found was his head… In a bucket. But who would do this? Well, some people are saying it’s someone who is sick and twisted enough to be a female version of Jeffrey Dahmer.

Bonus Episode! Does Bryan Kohberger have an alibi? Bryan Kohberger had a multiple court hearings on Friday June 9th, 2023 in Latah County, Idaho. Motions were heard to vacate the gag order in this case, by the Media Coalition and the Goncalves family attorney. Kohberger’s defense team also filed a motion to ban cameras in the courtroom. Additionally, there have been an alarming number of false rumors surrounding this case that have no basis in reality that we have to address! In this episode, we will discuss why these rumors are false, go over everything that went down at both hearings, the defense’s motion to ban cameras, and why they think the public shouldn’t be allowed to call their client, “creepy.” And last but not least, why the Judge accused the Media Machine of unethical practices and got spicy with Shannon Gray, the Goncalvez Family Attorney.  Your True Crime BFF, Annie Elise xx All Social Media Links: https://www.flowcode.com/page/annieelise_ About Me: https://annieelise.com/ For Business Inquiries: 10toLife@WMEAgency.com
