Summary
What first seemed like a tragic car accident quickly spiraled into one of the most controversial murder cases in recent memory. After crashing her car at nearly 100 miles per hour, killing her boyfriend and friend, Ohio teenager Mackenzie Shirilla was accused of intentionally driving them to their deaths. But years later, with Netflix revisiting the story and new text messages, prison calls, and claims of medical episodes surfacing, people are beginning to question whether everything about this case is really as clear as it once seemed. Was this a calculated act of murder, or could there be more to the story than anyone realized? Join Annie as she reopens the case of Mackenzie Shirilla.

| 0:29.9 | The crime we're investigating is an aggravated particular homicide |
| 0:33.6 | That was just kind of shocked really I didn't really know how to process it all. The car was flit in two. |
| 0:46.3 | It truly was a horrific crash site. |
| 0:50.3 | There's an occupant inside. We gotta bust the window out. |
| 0:53.3 | I just felt like there was more to the story than just an accidental crash. Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of serialously with me, your host and your True Crime BFF, Annie Elise. |
| 1:32.3 | Now, if you are brand new listening to this podcast or watching this YouTube channel for the very first time, let me just give you a breakdown. |
| 1:39.3 | My name is Annie, and what I like to do on here is not only deliver and present a true crime case to you, |
| 1:45.8 | but do it in a way where it is the full deep dive, going down the rabbit hole so that you don't |
| 1:50.4 | have to, all the details, the social media activity, past relationships, everything that you |
| 1:56.1 | find yourself, Googling yourself when you're watching a documentary. I find all that information out and then I |
| 2:02.4 | present all of it to you. But my goal in doing that is to do it in more of a conversational way, |
| 2:08.2 | as if your friend or best friend was telling you about this case that they just heard about |
| 2:12.8 | and that they can't stop researching or thinking about or talking about. So again, if you're brand new, |
| 2:18.8 | that's what we do over here. If you enjoy it, subscribe and follow the podcast. And, you know, |
| 2:24.4 | that's how it goes. Every single Monday, a brand new case. And then every Thursday, I do an episode |
| 2:29.6 | called Headline Highlights, where I talk about everything happening in real time that week in the true |
| 2:35.1 | crime world. Now, today, we are doing one of the infamous deep dives. And you may have heard about |
