178. The Crash: The Mackenzie Shirilla Case (Going Beyond The Netflix Doc)
About this episode
The episode delves into the Mackenzie Shirilla case, exploring details beyond the Netflix documentary.
In July 2022, 18-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla drove her car into a brick wall at nearly 100 miles per hour, killing her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his best friend Davion Flanagan. What looked like a drug-fueled accident unraveled fast, and the Netflix documentary only tells part of the story. This week, we go deeper: the details left on the cutting room floor, the recorded prison call that changed everything, and the question that still doesn't have a straight answer.
