Hello, welcome to Hollywood crime scene. This is Rachel Fisher.

Hi, this is Desi Jettiken.

Desi, we have a really exciting show today.

Yay.

You ready?

I'm ready for it. Are you ready for this? I am. This episode is a long time coming. This has been in the works for pretty much since we started doing this podcast,

but it has been really difficult to find a lot,

like it had been difficult for me to put this story together in terms of like research

materials and give it the care I felt that it deserved so So without further ado, here it is, it's happening right now, our episode about MacDrey.

I used a few different sources for this episode, one of which is a new book that came out by friend of the pod, Donald Morrison, titled Mac Dre, a crime that was never committed.

Donnie, he's coming on the show next week, by the way,

to discuss this book among other things.

I also used one of his very important pieces that he wrote in 2021, which we'll be discussing later, towards the end of the episode.

That's the one of the episode.

That's what started so much of this.

Like, I mean, that's what got this ball rolling to finally be able to do an episode?

I remembered you talking about it,

but saying you didn't have enough information

or a good source, like an in-depth investigative piece or anything.

And then Donnie's piece came out and Desi sent me the piece and she's like,

Have you seen this?

And I was like, what is this?
