I'm baaaaaack!I am bringing you a "House of Horrors" story suggested by multiple listeners of the show- The Turpin Family. Thank the Lord no one is killed, but this case is far from having a happy ending. Trigger warning- this case involves child abuse. https://linktr.ee/KillerStoriesResearch and partial writing by Sara Breau Sources:You Tubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9cHOpyilBIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd2zmJGx8LEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chIFYO_F9wYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEmj0qXgmP4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbjNRCTMXecWikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turpin_caseNew York Posthttps://nypost.com/2023/02/13/some-house-of-horrors-turpin-siblings-finding-life-impossible-after-parents-torture/https://nypost.com/2021/11/20/house-of-horrors-kids-still-being-abused-this-time-by-system/https://nypost.com/2022/03/31/2-turpin-siblings-molested-by-foster-father-report/https://nypost.com/2024/01/24/news/turpin-kids-seek-settlement-over-foster-care-abuse-years-after-being-rescued-from-sadistic-parents-lawyer/

This episode is extremely gruesome and disturbing. Fair warning...Taylor Shabusiness (there is a story behind this interesting last name) and her boyfriend Shad Thyrion were high on meth when they began to engage in some rather kinky sexual acts- resulting in Shad's death. linktr.ee/KillerStoriesSourcesYou Tubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qY9rR_-zEQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_6xLjA4W3Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUIdkEMo_DMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj1H3KL7i7gHeavy.https://heavy.com/news/shad-thyrion/https://heavy.com/news/taylor-schabusiness/https://heavy.com/news/taylor-schabusiness-husband-warren-family/WISNhttps://www.wisn.com/article/wisconsin-crime-man-decapitated-dismembered-taylor-schabusiness/39285966https://www.wisn.com/article/wisconsin-woman-accused-of-dismembering-man-after-sex-competent-for-trial/40061952https://www.wisn.com/article/family-identifies-victim-in-grisly-green-bay-murder-says-he-was-loved-by-many/39318083Newsweekhttps://www.newsweek.com/taylor-schabusiness-shocking-moments-murder-trial-shad-tyrion-wisconsin-1816018Wealthy Peepshttps://wealthypeeps.com/taylor-schabusiness-parents-family-ethnicity/Court Tvhttps://www.courttv.com/news/court-documents-reveal-taylor-schabusiness-past/https://www.courttv.com/title/motions-reveal-taylor-schabusiness-home-family-life/https://www.courttv.com/news/suspect-in-green-bay-dismemberment-killing-attacks-attorney-in-court/Cornerstone Healing Centerhttps://cornerstonehealingcenter.com/taylor-schabusiness-meth-sexual-behavior/Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Shad_Thyrion
