Wisconsin is no stranger to high-profile cases and horrific murderers, from the notorious Jeffrey Dahmer to the perplexing Ed Gein. But on a cold night in February 2022, a new name was added to the list of Wisconsin’s worst: Taylor Schabusiness. From the outset, the details of the case shocked even the most hardened detectives and traumatized young rookies. Using Law&Crime Network’s gavel-to-gavel coverage, Severed Affair provides an in-depth narrative of the disturbing case. The Law&Crime original podcast uses exclusive audio and court footage to piece together the gruesome story.

Original soundtracks of investigators

Very gruesome but thanks for including the soundtracks of the various persons involved (police, detectives, coroner, psychologists) as well as the extended family members of the victim and defendant. Sadly the judge was correct when saying the family is ultimately responsible — not “the system”; children don’t come with instruction manuals. There are unexpected life events (death/sickness of a parent, loss of a home, etc). Many times an outsider can see what’s happening to another person and does not know what to do or who to turn to for guidance. We are all humans and make mistakes. There is forgiveness and grace given to us, which we don’t deserve any more than anyone else. I hope Taylor can redeem herself in prison—it will be hard; I pray that there are people who can walk along side her in this difficult path forward.
No insight
Jul 20
There is virtually no insight given here into the killer or the victim as people. The gruesome details are hammered home, but basic personal information is glossed over. I listened to all these episodes and still have no idea when or why this person changed their name. at one point, she sends a photo to someone because she wants them to see her baby, and yet I didn’t hear anything about her ever having a baby. I appreciate the play-by-play courtroom reporting but that’s pretty much the only value this podcast has.
Unnecessarily repetitive
Jul 12
The crime is horrific, I knew what I was getting into. However, they repeat the details, in the exact wording, in every single episode. There is very little context, information about the victim, it feels like this could have been told in a way that is more respectful to the victim and his loved ones. It seems like they are after shock value but they when they are repeating themselves so much it got super old and super uncomfortable after three episodes.
Frustrating audio
Jul 11
I stopped listening about 10 minutes into the second episode because I cannot understand a word of the police interviews.
