One of the witnesses “passed by again and saw a body and a severed head on the ground outside the vehicle.” “The defendant used a dumbbell to strike Thayer over the head and a machete to decapitate her,” Lennon continued. “The nature of the assault is evidence of the defendant’s intent to cause Thayer’s death.”

According to a release from the Shakopee Police Department in July 2021, officers responded to a stabbing call between Fourth Avenue and Spencer Street. Thayer was later discovered with “stab wounds” and pronounced dead at the scene on a sidewalk in Shakopee, Minnesota. “Officers quickly took 42-year-old Alexis Saborit of Shakopee into custody on suspicion of second-degree murder,” the statement added.

On Thursday, Lennon described Saborit and Thayer’s relationship as “turbulent and marked by frequent arguments and allegations of abuse,” along with alleged prior threats. “Thayer wanted to end the relationship and the defendant knew that she wanted to ‘get rid of him,'” the court document added. Speaking to SW News Media in 2021, Thayer’s co-workers at MyPillow detailed the devastating impact of her brutal murder.

Thayer’s friend of five years, Nicky Kendrick, also described Thayer as “soft-spoken, great fun, and always up to amazing stories.” “She was really the nicest to everyone. I haven’t met anyone as genuinely nice as America since my late grandmother,” Kendrick told the outlet. “I’m devastated, it’s unreal and I just don’t have words.”
