Summary

Ohio teen Mackenzie Shirilla had been dating Dominic Russo for years and their relationship was described as tumultuous. A friend overhead an argument between the two in July 2022 where Mackenzie threatened to crash the car she was driving, with both of them in it.

A few weeks later, Mackenzie did exactly that. Early one morning, after a night of partying, she crashed her vehicle into a wall at 100mph. Dominic died along with a friend of the pair, Davion Flanagan. Mackenzie was injured and taken to hospital, where she recovered.

By October 2022, Mackenzie was well enough to dress up as a corpse for Halloween, despite just losing two of her closest friends.

Mackenzie was eventually arrested and her case has just gone to court. She was convicted and is currently serving a minimum of 15 years in prison. Her family argue that the crash was an accident caused by a medical condition, but the judge did not believe that story.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the case of Mackenzie Shirilla.

We also discuss creepy updates in the case of the BTK serial killer. Police have released sketches done by Dennis Rader and have asked the public for help in identifying the people and locations in the drawings. We discuss these developments in this episode.

0:36.3

We are dedicated this episode and the chat, specifically the chat, the 10 minutes of chat.

0:43.5

That is very controversial to our former follower Susie. I mean, this will come out a week from now,

0:51.0

but today I hope she listens just to say if we talk about it.

0:56.0

She doesn't have the time for that, excuse me.

1:00.0

So we posted to our story, but we just got like an absolutely unhinged message from a woman named Susie,

1:08.3

who insulted me and too busy the gym and too busy gardening to forward and skip to the time stamp.

1:14.9

And who's got time for that? And she needs to take a gloves off to do that.

1:17.6

Oh my gosh. Yeah. And said that we're like trash because we clearly don't listen to our listeners.

1:24.6

And so I had to reply back to her and I was like, no, no, you don't get it.

1:28.4

1:44.1

And I get it. Like if you don't like the chat, if you don't like us, if you don't like the podcast,

1:47.6

that's fine. I don't fucking care. I would like for everyone to like the podcast, but obviously that's

Find podcasts that you like. You don't need to message podcasts to show up for bad things.
