Rotten Mango - 17 Yr Old Mackenzie Shirilla Kills BF & Friend In Car Crash - ALL Her Private Snapchat Messages
Episode Date: June 8, 202619 year old Davion Flanagan’s family and 20 year old Dominic Russo’s family want to know what the hell happened that morning. How could 17 year old Mackenzie Shirilla drive her car straight into a... brick building at 100 mph killing their two boys? How could she be the sole survivor? This is the case of Mackenzie Shirilla who used a high speed, intentional motor vehicle collision to end the lives of her longterm boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend/roommate at the time, Davion Flanagan. After the release of Netflix’s documentary, ’The Crash,’ interest surrounding the case grew but audiences were left with more questions about the fuller picture. Naturally, we FOIA requested this case to the authorities and received: Over 4 thousand videos. Over 4 thousand photos. Around 31 thousand pages of text messages. Around 92 thousand text messages between just Mackenzie and Dominic. Close to 800 text messages between Mackenzie and her father, Steve Shirilla. Close to 2 thousand text messages between Mackenzie and her close friends. As well as 2 thousand pages of Instagram DMs. 2 entire phone data extraction files with hundreds of personal videos, photos, and audio messages. And 97 jail calls from Mackenzie post-conviction. We have gone through all of it and we’re here to break it down for you. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Bada being, baddaboo.
It's like a storm is coming.
I mean, not figuratively, but the officer has to turn away from the road.
He can hear the wind going crazy.
It sounds like a tornado.
But he can't directly look at what's causing all this wind.
At least it's not advised.
All the debris that's getting kicked up into the air of the dust,
it's going to get into his eyes.
And then there's going to be a bigger problem,
and he's not going to be as useful right now.
And he needs to be very useful because he needs to save somebody's life.
In the event of a very, very bad car crash, it always feels like a storm is coming.
And that's not figuratively.
It's usually the life flight.
It's a helicopter.
This is essentially a flying emergency room and it is looking for a place to land typically on the road.
I mean, it does need clearance.
A lot of the police have to taper off a section and the pilot is ultimately the one that decides if it's safe to land.
But these helicopters, they're trying to land as quickly as possible, as closely as possible.
to the crash site so that they can get whoever needs help with no time wasted to the closest
medical facility. The life flight lands and they hurry to get the patient on board and fly them to
Metro Health Medical Center Intensive Care Unit, specifically Room 571. That is where she wakes up
from surgery. The officers, the police officers, the detectives, they're knocking on the hospital
door to ask her, what happened in that car crash? Because you were driving. So what happened?
What did you do? How did those two boys in the car die? The doctor's notes read,
patient awake, alert, appropriate, clearly articulated verbal response, patient without recall
of circumstances or timing of collision. 17-year-old McKenzie is sitting in the hospital room
and she informs the officers. She doesn't recall a single thing after getting into that car.
Even when she tries to remember, there is nothing. It's just blank. Everything faded to black. There's
nothing. She doesn't remember how she, the driver, ended up crashing the car into the brick
building, killing her boyfriend Dom and killing their friend Davion. She says, she can't remember.
I mean, she wishes she could. She cries out, in fact, that she wishes that she could have been the
one that died instead of them. Why them? Why not her? It's just a very tricky time for everyone
in Strongsville, Ohio. But it is an unbearable time for 19-year-old Davion's family and 20-year-old
Dominic's family because they want to know what the hell happened. They want to know how their family
member was killed. But the only person that knows that answer is in the hospital, just got out of
multiple surgeries, and she claims she doesn't remember a thing. I think they have every single right
to demand answers, but because they're inherently good people, they don't. They wait. They wait because
they want 17-year-old McKenzie to heal from her surgery. Because even though their sons were killed,
they don't want another person to die. They don't know what happened in the car. They don't immediately
go and interrogate McKenzie after she's gotten out of surgery, which no one would blame them for doing.
I'm sure they really wanted to.
There's so much that doesn't make sense that they have to sit with for a prolonged period of time,
probably even now.
Like, why was she driving so fast straight into a brick building and never hitting the brakes?
I don't think anyone would have faulted them if they were posted up in that hospital room,
but they weren't and said they were waiting.
And while they were waiting, they find out that 17-year-old McKenzie has not been waiting.
She does not wait.
She does not wait to post Snapchat stories of herself laying in the hospital bed.
She'll, like, post the little flowers that she received from the hospital.
But more shocking, she hasn't even waited to respond to a modeling agency that reached out to her on Instagram a day or two after the fatal crash.
The brand comments on McKenzie's Instagram page asking to use a picture of her to repost to their socials.
McKenzie's mom responds.
Thank you for this amazing opportunity.
She would love if you would use that.
She's actually been trying to contact you guys for PR email.
It was a tragic accident.
This is just as painful for her as it is for everyone else, or maybe even a little more painful.
Did the brand reach out because they found out about the crash?
It doesn't seem like it.
It seems like she tagged them and some intern was just like, oh, hey, can I use this photo?
And then McKenzie herself responds.
Thank you for the comment.
I would love to work with you guys.
I've been emailing you guys a lot.
Such a great opportunity.
Thank you.
How does someone respond like that?
after killing their boyfriend and friend in the car.
This is the case of McKenzie Sherilla
and the lives that were cut short of Dominic Russo and Davian Flanagan.
This case has gained a lot of attention
since the release of the Netflix documentary of The Crash.
We did FOIA this case, and the file that we got back was pretty massive.
I mean, we received approximately over 4,000 separate videos,
4,896 photos, 31,000 pages of text messages
just between McKenzie and her boyfriend, Dom.
It was approximately 92,892 text messages back and forth.
Close to 800 text messages between McKenzie and her own father, Steve Shirillah,
which is, I mean, there's a lot of conspiracies coming out of those messages.
Close to 2,000 text messages between McKenzie and her close friends,
as well as 2,000 pages of Instagram DM messages between McKenzie and various other people,
as well as massive folders for all of McKenzie's Snapchat data,
including personal photos, videos, audio messages sent to friends,
TikTok data, Instagram data, as well as 97 jail calls, 551 pages of documents from police reports,
and 39 body cam and dash cam videos.
We have gone through all of it because it is a massive amount of just data.
I know that a lot of people were trying to run the text message file through AI to pick out important parts.
We literally sat there and read through every single page,
every single text message and we are going to break it down for you.
This is going to be a five-part series.
In this first part, we're going to be going over the crash itself,
as well as going over who was in the car,
their relationships to one another,
and generally what people believe happened that night.
In part two, we're going to break down the Netflix documentary,
the social media response to the documentary,
because it's been a lot.
There's been a lot of conspiracy theories
that have been circulating online
about what was happening at the party
that the three, Mackenzie, Dom, and Davion,
had attended right before the crash,
as well as we actually asked two of the more controversial individuals from the documentary,
all of the questions that we saw social media had for them, and they responded.
It was like a two-hour-long conversation.
In part three, we're going to be breaking down McKenzie's relationship with her parents,
as well as the semi-confirmed speculations that McKenzie was sending messages to people
in regards to potential sex work.
Not that there was sex work that was committed or done.
Not that there was any sex work evidence found,
but messages communicating back and forth about potential sex work.
In part four,
we're going to be breaking down the entire 31,000 page document of text messages
between McKenzie and Dom and covering the popular theory
that McKenzie knew that Dom was breaking up with her soon,
so she planned the crash.
And in part five,
we're going to cover the jail calls and the alleged prison girlfriends,
because after this Netflix documentary, so many people have been coming out saying,
I was in jail or I was in prison with McKenzie, as well as the status of the appeal.
So that is going to be the five parts.
And with that being said, we would like to thank today's sponsors who have made it possible
for Rotten Mingo to support Change the Game for Dom Foundation and Davion Flanagan's Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Both GoFundMe's are run by the families of the victims, and we will include all of those
in the description, as well as all the information regarding Dom and Davion's Law, which aims to
update Ohio's son of Sam laws in order to prevent violent offenders from profiting off their crimes.
All of those are going to be included in our show notes.
This episode's partnerships have also made it possible to support Rotten Mingo's team of dedicated researchers.
We'd also like to thank you guys for your continued support.
As always, full show notes are available at Rotten Mingo Podcast.com.
Today's case involves mentions of illicit drug usage, reckless driving, driving well intoxicated,
self-exit, and possible domestic violence.
We did pull the FOIA for this case and literally went through tens of thousands of pages of
text messages, detective incident reports, autopsy reports. So naturally, a lot of quotes and statements
may be condensed for brevity's sake. Secondly, many of Dom and Davian's family members have
spoken up and have shared their stories about how this has impacted them. I would heavily
recommend you watching through all of those because I think they are like the first-hand encounters
to describe what it was like being around people like Dom and Davian. I think, and they're very
eloquent with their words. I'm going to link all of their social media.
because they have been active since the documentary to voice out the impact that this case and the documentary has had on them.
In order to explain the entirety of the case, there will be times where we will be going through opinions of netizens, theories of netizens, even conspiracy theories.
But keep in mind that we do state that these are opinions, comments, and speculations made by netizens.
They do not represent our own opinions.
So with that, let's get started.
Depending on who you ask, you're going to get a completely different view of who McKenzie Sherilla is.
which I'm sure it applies to every single one of us.
There are going to be people in your life that love you,
and then there are going to be the ones that hate you,
but you can still pinpoint who they're talking about most of the time.
The people that hate you will say,
oh, she has no backbone, and they're so desperate to be liked.
The people who like you are going to say,
oh, they're so sweet and accommodating
and really care about other people's feelings all the time.
Two different perspectives, typically of the same personality traits,
just interpreted differently.
But the part that boggles my mind about McKenzie Sherilla
is it feels like everyone's talking about inherently different individuals.
She sounds like a different person depending on who you talk to.
Some friends will say that she's one of those people who took care of herself and other people.
One friend says that she was being bullied and McKenzie would be the one that would stand up for her
and tell people that's not okay. Don't bully her.
One friend reminisces about her friendship with McKenzie on Snapchat and she writes,
I remember during one of my drunken breakdowns, I texted Kenzie to come to my room so I didn't interrupt the party.
and she sat next to me and said, oh no, babe, we drunk crying, what's wrong?
And just listen to me without any judgment.
That is the kind of girl McKenzie Shirilla is.
But others are confused because they're like, do we know the same person?
They say, you know, she has a bitch list.
Like she has a burn book from mean girls.
The style of bitch list that they had in the Regina George, like they write down the people's names that they want to get revenge on.
In McKenzie's notes app on her phone, she had a list of 48.
names of, I guess, bitches that she hates and wants revenge on. Some of those individuals would
have descriptors next to their names, such as transgender or The Fatty. Yeah.
This is poor from the police? Yeah. What? Which hardly feels like someone without much judgment,
but that's why it's interesting that everybody has such polar opposite opinions on McKenzie as an
individual. But I think one objective fact is she loves to post photos.
and videos of herself, which isn't inherently a nefarious thing.
I too technically post a ton of videos of myself, but one person says,
nobody loved McKenzie, like McKenzie loved McKenzie.
And McKenzie, she wanted to be an influencer.
Her Instagram had 2,700 followers at one point,
and she writes in her Instagram bio,
Fashion Model, Your Inspiration, Modeling, Ohio.
I don't really know how to describe McKenzie's style.
I mean, she's definitely not in the relatable influencer nation,
I would say she's out here posting how she only likes designer things and money.
She'll do the money fans or like the money brick iPhones where she'll have an obscenely
large stack of cash, a brick, like the size of a fucking table lamp.
And she's trying to, I don't know, hear the melody of tax evasion from the other side.
Like she's using it like a little phone and taking photos of herself.
She's a very specific Y2K batty type aesthetic that she likes to stick to.
She'll take car videos of herself in the car,
with the words all over the screen.
The police.
Working.
Fast food.
Winter.
Parma, Ohio.
Like a city in Ohio.
Fake friends.
Anything that's not designer.
Cancer's.
GMO foods.
New juicy guitar.
The show friends.
And Ohio.
All in one frame?
Yeah.
So it's like words just scattered
all throughout the screen, right?
And she's like posing for the camera.
What do all of these things have in common?
She uses the TikTok sound from Kim Kardashian while wearing
obscenely large sunglasses.
glasses and the sound is it's just never been my thing not into it so not approved side note i think
she's talking about the astrological sign cancers not terminal illness cancers so there is that she also
likes to get her nails done to have the giant dior logo it's like she's got 10 dr lip glasses on her
hands just floating around she posts on instagram stories a picture of her in like a
a bathing suit in the snow
and the caption reads,
I dress and post for me and only me.
If you don't like that,
please go die.
She goes through the trends
of having a full set of lash extensions
that look like she stole a horse's tail
in the middle of the night
and attached it to her retinas.
I think everybody's had that phase.
I do believe the lash extensions,
however,
we're giving her infections
because there are Instagram DMs
where she talks extensively
about getting prescribed steroids for her eyes
and then she goes and gets them done again
just to have her eyes look like she put in red 40 eye drops.
I mean, generally speaking, I would say that she just makes very cringy TikToks.
I guess it's understandable, considering she's what, 16, 17 years old when she's posting a lot of these things.
I could have made a freaking career embarrassing myself at that age.
Instead, I did it for free.
So it's fine.
I mean, none of this is nefarious.
I don't think any of these things have any sort of evidentiary value as to what kind of person Kenzie is.
It's just really cringy.
However, I think the parts that start to get a bit more alarming and worth considering is her never-ending obsession with documenting herself getting high.
She'll post videos of herself smoking weed out of a giant foot-long bong in her room, which is a bit questionable to be posting at 16, 17.
But maybe not my circus, not my monkeys, I'm not an arc.
She does have normal posts as well where she's just doing like fruit reviews, trying hybrid fruits.
So it's not like she only posts smoking weed, but she'll like scatter them around.
But a lot, a lot of smoking weed.
And then she'll do a fruit review, trying a hybrid fruit, like a hybrid between a honeydew and a canelope.
Yeah.
Or she'll review garage sale finds where she finds like a cute purse.
Or she'll post videos of herself in her Toyota.
She's got this like pink fuzzy steering wheel cover and she's just taking pictures while driving while smoking a blunt, documenting herself, driving under the influence.
even focusing on the driving aspect because she's so busy trying to show her Snapchat that she's
driving under the influence. She's 16. She's like 17 at this point, I would say, yeah. I mean,
it's to the point where she does everything but driving while driving. She films ramp videos
while driving. She's lip syncing for TikTok doing just about anything but focusing on her driving.
She's showing off her furry pink steering wheel cover, zooming in on her face during songs,
showing off her nails, showing off her lashes, her oversized sunglasses. In some videos,
she's parked, so she's not actively driving,
but she does go after other people
that she disagrees with on the road.
So she'll be parked and show another car
and be like, look at this R word.
He's literally parked on the line.
As if she's not just, yeah.
She also has road rage issues.
On Snapchat, she would post cars that pissed her off
with one, it's a picture of a car on the road
in front of her and she writes,
this bitch, dumb a.F.
Then another one, dumbass.
And it's just like, you know, license pick pictures.
Just generally speaking, whenever she's driving, she's kind of looking like a bozo.
She'll wear these sunglasses that look like two dinner plates on her face,
which I guess you could say is objectively cute, but it's not cute at all to do this while driving.
I mean, the amount of times her phone will fall while she's driving and recording is rage-inducing.
Just focus on driving. Holy shit.
There's one video where she shows that she's doing butterflies with her legs on her seat.
So her feet are nowhere near the pedal or the brakes.
Wait.
She's like criss-crossed applesauce.
The car's going.
Yeah.
So it seems like she's probably on cruise control on the highway.
What?
And her attention is definitely on showing off that she's cruise controlling and criss-cross
applesauce rather than on the road.
She's not focused on the road.
Another video shows she's lip-syncing the words to a song that go,
I go fast like NASCAR.
And she's, again, driving while doing this.
There's another video where she's lip-syncing to songs and she closes her mouth
every time the N-word is saying, which is the correct thing to do.
But she's also, at the same time, going through all of her copious pages upon thousands of pages of text messages,
calling her boyfriend the N-word when she's mad at him.
So I don't know why she feels the need to be performative about it.
She is often and very often mad at her boyfriend, Dom, for seemingly no good reason at all.
But more on that later.
There's another video of her where she's going 93 miles per hour on the highway with a car that's pretty close in front of her.
And she's taking this video and I really don't understand the purpose of the video.
I don't know if it's to show off.
I don't know if it's just to be included in a future FOIA file.
I don't understand.
There was no aesthetic value to the video.
There's no message in the video.
It was just bizarre.
She's just trying to show off how fast she's going.
Yeah.
There's a DM exchange between McKenzie and another friend earlier in 2022 where McKenzie messages them.
Go run your car off a bridge.
I'm dead.
I'll just crash my car into your car.
They respond, I hope you die when you do that.
Now, within a few days, they are talking just like normal friends.
So I guess this is their friendly version of banter, but it's just, if you were to take out
the rest of this case and just comb through McKenzie social media, not knowing what's going on,
you would come to the conclusion that she is an incredibly reckless teenager with basically
zero foresight that will say, do, and post whatever she feels without any
any thought about consequences. She's not exactly a likable individual as well. That doesn't
inherently make her guilty of a crime, but I am saying she's incredibly unlikable and she was found
guilty of the crime, but nevertheless, I feel like I have been trapped in the inner workings
of McKenzie's mind for God knows how long now. And it is incredibly difficult, if not impossible,
to even muster up an ounce of sympathy for her, just based on how she speaks to people through
text messages, DMs, what she posts, and obviously, ultimately, her actions.
It's just, um, I hate it here.
She'll complain to her friends about how she got banned from TikTok Live for seven days because,
quote, I was literally calling people ugly and saying, fuck.
But they chose to ban me for saying that, whack.
Then she'll go on Instagram.
Look up TikTok's official Instagram account and then DM them.
Fuck you guys.
Fuck you guys.
Make it so bad for creators.
Fuck you guys.
I hate y'all.
Fuck you.
y'all support system is shit.
Reply to my DM.
She'll post videos ranting.
Why is TikTok targeting the fuck out of my account?
I cannot.
Like, this was posted literally days ago on the 4th of July.
So why was it taken down?
It's literally not, I'm pissed.
Which is a very interesting tactic
considering right around this time McKenzie is trying to become an influencer,
if you will.
She wants to be famous.
She expresses that pretty much verbatim multiple times
that she wants to be famous.
I'm not entirely sure how cursing out the TikTok social media intern is going to get you there,
but that's exactly what she's doing.
She also rants about ghost followers.
She's ranting to a friend through Instagram DMs.
They just ruin my engagement stalker ghost followers.
It ruins engagement.
I'm over here trying to gain because if you have all these followers and it's getting pushed out to
them but they don't like it, it just ruins it.
To another friend she rants, it's literally making me so mad.
Like I hate these weird fucking ghost following bitches.
They hate to see me succeeding.
Anytime a pretty girl is doing good, they don't like that.
What did she complain?
That they ghost follow her but don't like her photos.
She complains that certain photos won't even get 200 likes these days.
And so she has to hide her likes, which sounds like a personal problem because you really don't have to hide them.
No one cares.
But at the same time, she's reaching out to big clothing brands like I am Gia saying,
Hey, I'm Gia.
I know I've reached out here before, but consistency is key.
I would love to work together and collaborate with you guys.
Thank you for being a weight inclusive brand.
then in another TikTok
she's modeling a see-through cover-up
and the audio plays
all I want is just one day here
where I'm not visually assaulted
by uglies and fatties
so she's like thank you I'm Gia
for being weight inclusive
and then she's also posting TikToks
being like visually assaulted
by uglies and fatties
for modeling she likes to send pitches
through Instagram DM that read
and like it's very interesting
that I'm like reading through her pitches
to all of these it's just unhinged
she says I believe I'm a great model
because I'm a petite girl and we don't see enough of us represented in the industry.
I have modeling experience and I have done several photo shoots and walked runways.
I'm 5'3 and have a fiery personality and I'm willing to travel.
But then in another rant video, she posts,
I just wanted to make this video and talk about things that I don't like.
I don't like when people eat McDonald's.
It grosses me the fuck out.
I don't like swishers and what else do I?
Oh, I don't like when people talk about the world and be like,
oh, we're all going to be dead in 60 years anyways.
please go fucking kill yourself yep i said it go die bitch so like her dms and what she's posting
are completely not even in the same realm of like who she's trying to present herself at is
it's she's posting these publicly yeah so she had three tictoc account they just kept getting
banned and then she would post a ton of stuff on snapchat she was under the impression i think
that snapchat deletes forever endeavor and like the law enforcement no one can get it
But they keep everything.
Oh, yeah.
They kept everything.
I mean, I saw private voice memos.
She sent to her friends on Snapchat.
I saw she would take screenshots on her phone and send it to her friends on Snapchat of what
she's doing on a website.
I'm going to talk about this more in depth later, but she's like filling out a fake ID
website.
She's got her name in there.
Her address.
Her phone number.
She's taking fake ID photos, screenshoting it, like sending it to her friends on
Snapchat.
and I'm just like seeing it all.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
All in a...
Incriminating record is all on Snapchat.
Just like in a series of zip files.
Yeah.
Wow.
She does partake in a lot of the TikTok trends too.
So you know the one that it's like, oh, put a finger down.
You know, if you...
And there's a lot of variations for it.
But she chooses specifically to do the one that says put a finger down,
Psycho Edition.
And she's with her friend doing this.
If you get more than five fingers, you're a psycho.
You won't see me anywhere near you.
So this is not McKenzie's voice.
This is, you know, the audio.
And McKenzie is giggling and she's listening.
Put a finger down if you thought about choking someone next to you just because you can and they won't be expecting it.
She's like giggling.
Put a finger down.
Put a finger down if you put ranch on your pizza.
She does not put a finger down.
Put a finger down if you're a Leo, Sagittarius, Scorpio, or cancer, you're automatically a psycho.
She puts a finger down.
She's got three left.
a finger down if when your parents are yelling at you, you stare them directly in their eye for a long
period of time just to intimidate them. She puts a finger down. Put a finger down if you go to sleep
with socks on. She still has two fingers. Put a finger down if someone close to you is crying and the
only thing that you can think of is trying not to laugh because it's a defense mechanism.
She puts another finger down. Put a finger down if you like to chew ice. She puts a fifth finger down
and she starts back up on her next hand. Put a finger down if you think you can kill someone and get away
with it. She does not put a finger down. Put a finger down if you predict conversations with someone
else on your own just so you know what to say when the time comes. She puts a finger down. Put a finger down
if when you get angry enough, you start crying, but it's not tears of joy. She puts another finger
down. Six days before the crash, McKenzie sends a DM to Trisha Paitis on her Instagram account,
Trish, I want to meet you, which goes unanswered. She also reaches out to,
to the controversial influencer, Anna Paul.
Anna comes smoke with me.
She also does not get a response.
And then she reaches out to Tana Mojo and DMs her.
Tana, my boyfriend cheated on me, spoke a smoke a blunny with me, please.
So she's just like doing a lot on Instagram.
She's reaching out to freaking Vogue.
She's like reaching out to you for, yeah.
Okay, we're going to get there.
And she's reaching out to influencers trying to get high with them.
She even posts on TikTok with the audio.
I'm not even cool.
I'm just one of those girls that can do.
a lot of drugs and not die. I will note that it's very interesting that her parents were supposedly
following her on social media where she's posting herself smoking and driving and doing all of these
things and she's 17, but much, much more to come about the parents, Natalie and Steve, in a later
episode. Now, the most controversial of McKenzie's TikTok, though, is from Halloween. She's with three of her
friends and they're all in the same costume, well, different variations of it. But McKenzie is
dressed in an all black look. She's got these black furry boots, black ripped leggings,
this super, super tight corset, and this ribbed black top where it looks like someone just put it
through a paper shredder. And you can see part of her chest that in her TikTok post,
she keeps covering up with an emoji. And her makeup since it's Halloween, she has painted her face
white with these big black circles around her eyes and a red almost joker-like smile.
It's supposedly inspired by Playboy Cardi and the look that he would sometimes perform with.
It was like during a very specific era of his career, which some people called it the clown era,
but it's more of this vampy corpse, theatrical comic book villain inspired look.
It did look really cool when he would perform on stage with that look.
But this Halloween post becomes one of McKenzie's most controversial social media posts,
more than her posting herself driving while smoking weed.
Because everyone says that she looks like she dressed up as a corpse.
McKenzie's friends are saying, no, that's not true.
true, we were dressed up as Playboy Cardi.
But also, what about it?
Like, what if she dressed up as a corpse?
It's Halloween, get a grip.
But it's not the holiday and it's not the costume.
It is the timing of this Halloween.
People are upset because this was posted and this was done,
Halloween of 2022.
Just three months after, McKenzie was in a fatal car crash
where she was the driver that killed her boyfriend, Dom,
and their friend Davion.
She was out and about?
Yeah.
Oh, this is not even the car.
the first time she's out and about post-crash.
It's called post-traumatic amnesia.
Or basically, a black hole of time where the brain simply fails to record anything from a window
of time, typically the time of injury.
People have reported that in their own car crashes, they have a gaping hole in their memory.
They remember getting in the car, pulling onto the road.
They even remember what song was playing.
And then they don't remember anything.
They remember nothing.
They don't remember the moment of impact.
In fact, some people don't even remember talking to the paramedics.
at the crash site. They know that they were answering questions, but they don't recall a single
second of it. They just recall waking up in the hospital. That is what McKenzie and her mom state
is happening to McKenzie. Natalie says about her daughter McKenzie, she remembers waking up. She remembers
leaving the house. Then she remembers turning on the street and that's it. She was trying to remember
like she's trying and I'm like, McKenzie, you can't. It's just not there. In a voice memo to a friend,
McKenzie said, I'm just, I'm not doing okay. Like, it doesn't feel real. I keep saying this,
but it doesn't feel real. Like, I don't know what the fuck happened. Thank you for being there for me.
It just means a lot. Like, I don't remember anything. Like, that is, this is just the worst.
It is understandable to some degree, but it's difficult when she's the driver of the car and she's
the only one that's live. She's the only one with answers as to what happened in that car,
and she says she doesn't remember. Davion's dad says, I can see how someone could have some amnesia from
the impact of the crowd.
but the timing just seemed really perfect.
I don't understand how your amnesia just lasted the exact right amount of time
to not be able to help the police with their investigation.
McKenzie says it was five in the morning.
They were all at their friend's house.
So it was like a bunch of friends gathered and they decided to head home.
So she's like, we decided to head home back to Dom's.
So it's her, Dom, and Davion in the car and she says,
and I remember turning on the street and then I'm waking up in the hospital the next day.
and I don't. I mean, my whole life is shattered. The whole morning is just like nothing. I mean, it sounds
crazy, like I can't, I'm not going to just lie just because people want to hear a story. I have no
recollection of that morning. And that's that. I mean, still to this day, four years later, McKenzie
states she still does not remember what happened in that car. She does not remember how she crashed
straight into the brick building, how her foot was all the way on the gas pedal, never once
touching the brake pedal. And ultimately, she doesn't remember a single thing about crashing.
the car, killing Dominic, and Davion. She says she still does not remember. The prosecutor says at that
point, when they left their friend's house, I mean, we just have this black hole in the timeline.
The officer knocks on the door to hospital room 715. McKenzie's mom, Natalie, invites the officer in.
There's a few other people in the hospital room, so there's McKenzie in her cast. She's got cast on her
legs, on her arm. She's in a neck brace. She's laying on the hospital bed. McKenzie's mom, Natalie, is there.
Mackenzie's dad, Steve is there, and two female friends of McKenzie are there.
This is like the second day?
Yeah.
And they quickly leave.
So now there's just a detective that walked in besides they're visiting.
I don't think they want to stick around for this.
The officer starts filling out a property release form.
And then that's when the doctor walks in.
So the officer is like writing all of this in his report.
He's like, I walked in.
I saw all these people.
And then I was filling out a property release form because I came here to give the things
that were found on McKenzie's person in the crash.
her purse, cash, like these are things that he has to give back.
Not the drugs, because there were drugs found, but he's not going to give those back.
So he's filling out this property release form.
And in the notes, he notes some very interesting exchanges.
So first of all, McKenzie's doctor walks in and McKenzie refuses to take a shot that's going to help her with her pain, which fine, right?
Second, McKenzie gets into a full-blown argument with her dad where she kicks him out of the room,
she kicks her dad out of the hospital room after cussing him out.
And the officer is like noting this in his report.
She's doing all that in front of the officer.
Yeah.
And this is when the detective is like, you know what?
I'm just going to wait for the doctor to leave.
I'm going to be in the hallway filling out the rest of these forms.
And while he's out in the hallway, he starts having a conversation with McKenzie's parents,
Natalie and Steve.
And he's just explaining the whole process of like, yes, we're going to, you know, give you
back this Michael Corr's backpack.
And there's some cash that we found as well as clothes in the
the car that we recovered from the crash scene.
We're going to give those back.
And then he writes in his report.
They hear a scream from inside the hospital room while the officer is talking to McKenzie's
parents out in the hallway, quote, McKenzie started yelling telling us to not talk without
her being present.
McKenzie is telling the parents not to talk?
And the police.
The officer, the detective.
Without her being present?
Yeah.
She's like, why are you guys talking?
I mean, I don't know exactly the words, but he writes in the report.
She started yelling, telling us not to talk without her.
being present. That's fucking crazy. Yeah. What? So the three, the officer, Natalie and Steve
Shirilla, they shuffle back into the hospital room and the officer starts detailing the search
warrant and the basic nature of the entire investigation. Once he walks back into the hospital
room, he is audio recording. And he lets the shrivillas know. And he explains, you know,
the search warrant lists the nature of the crime we're investigating as an aggravated vehicular
homicide times two because two people were killed in the car crash. It does not mean, you know,
we're not charging you with aggravated vehicular homicide.
And the officer is trying to explain that everything's really now in the hands of the county.
It is the county that decides whether or not there's going to be any charges that are pressed.
He says it's not the families.
So it's not going to be up to Dom and Davyon's families.
The state chooses whether or not they want to charge.
Is this the first time they found out what type of charges they could be facing?
I think they kind of knew, but they are shocked by the information that Don,
and Davyant's family have no say.
Because they seem disgruntled.
And like Natalie, the mom is like, why?
And she's basically asking like, well, what if the families don't want to press charges?
And the officer is like, it's not up to the families.
Like it's not up to them.
This is not a civil case.
Like they can't seem to understand that if the two families of the deceased decide not to
press charges, why on earth would the county press charges?
And they're confused by it.
which is crazy because the officer is like
I mean it's a crime like what do you mean this is not
civil court like I'm a detective
and so McKenzie asks the officer at this point
can I say something to her and she's referencing saying
something to her mom so the officer is like
sure yeah McKenzie turns
to her mom and starts speaking rapidly
in a language that the officer
cannot identify
he can't even tell you
like he can't even tell you oh
she turned to her mom and was speaking
in I think Korean I
think Spanish. I think Portuguese. He's never heard this cadence before. Like he can't even
figure out like, does it sound Eastern European? Does it sound East Asian? Like South Asian? Like
he can't even pinpoint where geographically this type of cadence and dialect sounds like it's
coming from. And McKenzie is rapid fire talking to her mom. Clearly Natalie is understanding everything.
She ends the conversation with McKenzie in English saying, you can. And that's when McKenzie
grunts. Can you just take my whole license away for 10 years or something like that?
To the police? Yes. In my opinion, the officer sounds kind of flabbergasted and he just hits her with a,
do you have a lawyer? Talk to your lawyer. But once the detective leaves, he's so intrigued by this
whole incident of this language that he cannot decipher. He reaches out to the chair of the Department
of World Languages at a local university. And they tell him, I let two other language instructors listen,
and we were all on the same page.
We all don't think what we're hearing here
is a natural spoken language.
I thought of your suggestion
about it being Pig Latin or something like that,
and I think you're right.
Given the speed at which it's spoken,
it is unlikely to be natural.
So she's saying it doesn't sound like a foreign language.
The cadence and the phonetics of Speaker 1, McKenzie,
are all clearly American English.
Okay.
So it's not like they just know some languages
and they're like, oh, it's not the ones we know.
They study like the cadence and tones of languages and they're like it's the cadence is American
English.
Yeah.
So like it.
Did you hear?
Yeah.
I knew pig Latin in high school.
It does sound like pig Latin.
Pig Latin is the one that you move some.
So you move the first letter to the back and then you add A at the end.
So instead of Stephanie, it would be like Tiffany say.
Okay.
Yeah.
But there's.
Can you say that?
in like a natural way?
Like can you actually talk to people in that?
When I was really young, I remember Pig Latin was like a huge thing.
And I could not speak anywhere near as quickly as McKenzie does in this audio file.
But you can kind of.
Okay, okay.
You can.
So was it Pig Latin?
It is not.
But it is a different, like there's so many variations of these types of later it is identified.
by Mackenzie's dad, Steve, to be Carney Talk.
It's kind of like Pig Latin,
but it was actually used heavily by people who worked carnivals.
That's why it's called Carnie Talk.
I guess they wanted a different way to speak to each other
just so that they can communicate without, I guess,
communicating in front of like, you know, I don't know, right?
Maybe it's like, yeah, but it's like widely known
to be spoken amongst people originally
who would run carnivals.
That's why I guess it's called.
called Karnie Talk.
That's interesting.
So, okay.
Now, was it decoded?
Yes.
Now, this decoding of the message has been disputed, obviously.
The prosecutors have decoded it, and they believe what we said in that hospital
room just days after the crash.
Steve Shurilla is like, that's not what my daughter said.
You, you decide.
McKenzie is stating she doesn't remember a single important detail of this car accident, right?
But then she turns to her mom, and the prosecutor believes.
she said, can we just tell them I had a seizure?
That was it?
Yeah.
Like it was like, can we just tell them I had a seizure or something like that?
Like, can we just tell them?
Whoa.
The three people in that car, the early morning of July 31st, 2022, where, like I said,
McKenzie is in the driver's seat, her boyfriend, Dom is in the front passenger seat,
and their friend Davion is in the backseat.
A lot of people believe that McKenzie and her boyfriend, Dom, got into a fight in the car,
which leads McKenzie to freak out going over 90 miles per hour and slamming into a brick building.
With Davion's life by netizens' speculations, not being considered by McKenzie.
They think that McKenzie is the type of person to just, you know, someone in the back is not pertinent to her or her relationship.
And the fight is the most important thing that could be happening in the car.
Now, this is obviously a netizen theory.
It is one of the more widely accepted versions of events of what netizens think.
think occurred in the car that night, which is why there's going to be a lot of time spent
throughout the episode on McKenzie and Dom's relationship. It is not because Davian's life was not
important or that we don't want to spend time talking about Davion. It's because most people
believe that whatever happened in the car could have to do with what McKenzie felt about Dom.
It was reported that McKenzie has known Davian since they were both in middle school since they
were in the same class. It's unclear if this is true or if they ever really even spoke at all. But
according to one of their friends, Davyon and Dom started hitting it off recently. Dom has a recording
studio in his house and Davyon's dream was to be a rapper, so it just kind of made sense that they
would become friendly. They're not necessarily best friends. They're not necessarily that close.
They actually have very different friend groups and interests, but recently they started hanging out
and connecting over music. And we're going to go in depth because Davion is actually staying at
Dom's house when all of this is happening. So Davian's family had gone on vacation.
Davian had just started a new job, so he can't just take two weeks off to go on family vacation.
So he's like, I'm going to stay in town, but his parents were a little concerned about him staying alone.
So he was like, okay, I'm just going to crash at my friend Dom's place.
That's crazy.
How long have they been staying together?
It doesn't seem that long, but it seems like they were friends for, you know, months ahead of time.
So it's not like, oh, they just met and he's staying with Dom.
But it's not like, oh, Dom and Davian were best friends since middle school and they all hung out.
and these are, you know, it's like more of a newer friendship that's been developing.
So we're going to go in depth about what Davyon's family have said,
as well as the foundation that they've set up for him in a later episode.
But just keep in mind, it's a lot of the focus will be on McKenzie and Dom throughout some of these episodes,
not because Davian's life is less important than anyone else is.
His family and friends have spoken extensively about what he meant to them,
how he impacted their lives and what it means for them now that he's been taken away from them,
which we're going to cover in a later episode.
So with that being said, we're just going to get into the relationship.
McKenzie and Dom have been dating for years before the crash.
At this point in time, Dom is 20.
McKenzie is about to turn 18.
The crash actually happens like a few days before her 18th birthday.
They've been dating for years.
They were both minors.
They both met in high school.
But now that Dom has graduated, he's living in his own house.
So he lives alone.
He does live right next door to his mom.
So he lives alone, but he's right next door to his mom.
And he sees his mom a lot.
His mom cooks dinner.
He comes over for dinner.
dinner. It's not like completely independent of a lifestyle, but also he's 20. So he's living
the lifestyle that I think a lot of 20 year old guys probably live. But McKenzie, she's still in high
school. So it is alarming that she's posting a lot of the things that she's posting. And at some
point, it's believed that McKenzie had fully moved into Dom's house and was living with him at 17
years old. And her parents are seeing these things. They're seeing what's being posted and they're
completely fine with it. For example, the two of them have a... Wait, the parents are seeing like the
smoking, driving.
I would think so because they follow her on Instagram.
Whoa, that's crazy.
Okay.
They have a stripper pole in the house that they will post videos.
Dom in his house, which again, I think this is very normal for a 20-year-old guy.
I don't think it's normal for a 17-year-old girl to be allowed to live in that house regardless of if it's her boyfriend.
And that is the fault of the Shirillas.
But she'll post videos of people dancing on the stripper poles.
They are fully clothed.
and people will just like throw bills in the air.
So it does seem like high school fun.
It doesn't seem nefarious or anything.
But it is just a very specific type of lifestyle
that I would imagine most parents would not want their 17-year-old daughter
to be engaged in at this point being 17 years old.
They would host parties at Don's house because he had his own house.
And there is an incident that has been coming up on social media.
Before the crash, the police had already gone out to the house earlier that year in 2022
because at one of these parties, a girl falls down the stairs.
And the police describe it as she almost died.
We're going to call her K, but side note, Davion was also there,
and it's been reported that Davy on was actually one of the only people that helped her before
the medics came.
Now, a lot of people apparently just ran off when she fell because there were clearly
questionable activities going on in the house, potentially underage drinking, smoking
weed.
I think they were very concerned about not getting in trouble versus, you know, worrying about
their friend's life.
the girl that fell, Kay ends up in a medically induced coma for weeks.
Like she genuinely almost died.
It was not a hyperbolic way of speaking.
It's not the police being like, she almost died.
She's a teenager.
No, she was, she almost died.
What happened?
Like what?
Nobody knows.
So obviously Kay's parents don't believe the simple explanation of, oh, she just fell,
understandably so.
Like, I would want very thorough answers to it.
It just doesn't make sense to them.
In the FOIA file, there are Snapchat.
messages between McKenzie and her friends talking about this fall and trying to piece together
all of them, you don't really get a thorough story of what even happened. But you get that there were
suspicions. One person who attended the party audio message is McKenzie. Legit, what I was saying
to people, so it seems like if I had to get context clues and this is just me guessing out of my
butt, it seems like McKenzie is confronting this girl like, are you going around telling people
that she didn't fall? Are you going around telling people that someone pushed her? Because she's
explaining, right? This girl is like explaining to Kenzie. Like this is what I said. Legit, what I was
saying to people, because they were even saying that Kay was not that drunk, like how could have this
happened? She wasn't even that fucked up because she wasn't. And I said, I don't know. No alcohol
was in her system. A lot of the police and her parents and a lot of the people are thinking that she got
pushed. There was foul play in it. And I said, if there was a possibility that there were girls
there and they were drunk, I said, I never thought that they distinctively pushed. And I said, I never thought that
they distinctively pushed her.
I said if anything were to have happened,
it would have been maybe they were play fighting with each other
and they got too rowdy and drunk because that's how fucking girls get
when they're fucking drunk.
And I did see hella girls by the stairs and by the fucking door.
And I had explained to people if it was anything like that,
it would have been they missed their step and accidentally pushed Kay on purpose.
And it wasn't like-
Accidentally pushed her on purpose.
Yeah.
And it wasn't a full-on push.
accidentally hit her while she was about to go down the stairs.
She explains that Kay had this big bag of clothes she was carrying and she states that she told
people that she theorized that weighed her down and that's what made her tumble down the stairs.
I never said that people were pushing her and had pushed her.
That's what the police sank and that's why I'm trying to get a picture of the stairs so I can
literally tell them it wasn't like that.
I don't know.
My mom was like, they don't think that she just did all that just from falling down the stairs.
Like she has basically saying like my mom doesn't think Kay has all these injuries from just falling down the stairs, right?
And I was like telling her, do you really think people would fucking beat up Kay and we would just all fucking cover that shit up?
I honestly just think that's what they think is happening.
So that's why I just need a picture of the stairs.
I never said anyone pushed her.
Nothing could have pointed to her falling down the stairs except her missing a step or someone accidentally falling onto her, accidentally tripping over her, accidentally catching her step.
Like, that's all I said.
But she literally said it could have been someone who pushed her, though.
Accidentally pushed her on purpose.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
In one audio message, McKenzie is ranting to another friend.
And I don't know if it's about this person, right?
I'm just, again, piecing together these, like, random Snapchat data and trying to figure out what the hell is happening.
And, like, none of these are, like, really even in chronological order.
So, but she says, this is McKenzie.
Tell me why I just got off the phone with fucking Sammy.
and supposedly Emily did not even try to fucking catch her.
Emily ran away and threw up.
That's what Sammy is saying.
And Sammy was the one down there.
So Emily is a major fucking problem right now.
It's just weird.
Like if she genuinely fell down the stairs without any sort of foul play involved,
I just, I mean, maybe this is how high schoolers act and they like to start drama.
But this is such a serious thing.
I don't think it's just very odd.
McKenzie eventually makes.
like an Instagram story.
And I don't know what she's trying to do.
If she's trying to clear the air,
make the situation worse,
I think more so the latter.
But she says,
just a PSA,
if any of you think that that party situation
is my fault,
you can go fuck yourself
and leave my story right now.
Yeah, because we let all you
underage little fucks
into our beautiful home
just to do illegal things
and you want to blame us.
Aren't you all the ones
that ran out of the house and left
and shook her while we called the police
and got her there?
Yeah, please go fuck yourself
and kill yourself, bitch.
Wow.
Interestingly, later, Dom's mom, so McKenzie's boyfriend's mom, who lives right next door, says about the situation,
she supposedly pushed her down the steps in reference to McKenzie.
Dom's mom describes the situation later to the officer saying, so the big story was...
I'm so sorry.
Was this talked about before the crash or after the crash?
After the crash.
So it was, you know, during the fall, I don't think Dom's mom got involved because Dom is 20.
You know, so this, and I don't know like how it escalated.
There's no reference to Dom's mom getting involved after the crash to report any of this.
I don't think she really knew because, I mean, she's Dom's mom.
No one's going to her telling her, oh, what's been happening with the kids recently.
So I think what happened was after the crash, it seemed that Dom's mom did report to the police.
A lot of Dom's friends were coming to her and telling her information about McKenzie.
Because they feel weird about the crash.
So they're like, because your son has got like, that.
was our friend we want to help here's this weird information we've been knowing but like we would
have never told you that before the crash because like we just thought it was like relationship drama
like weird stuff and we don't have proof and so she explains to hey officers i'm sorry when was the fall
how early 22 like january and the crash happened july 31st 22 6 months 7 7 she says so the big
story was this girl fell down the steps how did she fall you know she had no alcohol in her
we have a guardrail.
There's a handrail.
And then as time went on,
Kenzie was the one that told me personally.
She said,
these girls were really out to get her
because they were accusing her
of pushing this girl down the steps.
And she's saying,
at that time in January,
I said, well, why in the world
would you ever push that girl?
And she just said,
I wouldn't push that girl down the steps.
So she's like,
I just didn't think nothing of it at the time.
But after the fact,
I'm sitting here thinking
and I had asked another friend of Dom's
when he called me and he said, did you hear that, you know, she pushed the girl down the steps?
So Dom's friend also believed she pushed her down the steps.
And again, I know that he might be a little crazy Dom's friend or whatever,
but he's the one who said that too.
So she's like, I don't know.
She's just telling the police, like, this is what I heard.
And like McKenzie also told me people were accusing her at the time of pushing the girl down the stairs.
And then now I'm talking to one of Dom's friends who also thinks that she pushed her down the stairs.
It's just weird.
How is the friend?
Kay.
I think she's okay.
Did she ever say what happened?
No. I do think that is a pretty crazy accusation to make that McKenzie would push another girl down the steps to the point of her almost dying.
I think that it would really take a very specific personality for people to think that she's capable of such a thing.
Because you can't just walk around and think, oh, anyone is capable of killing somebody and pushing them down the stairs to the point of like,
a medically induced coma.
Like you would have to be a very specific type of personality
where people can look at you and think,
I could see you doing that.
Yeah, and that's a very serious allegation, right?
McKenzie seems to have gone through a lot of friend groups in high school.
And the ones that she is no longer friends with,
naturally they don't have a lot of great things to say about her.
A former friend of McKenzie says,
I know she smokes weed.
I mean, that's literally her personality trait.
That's it.
that's about it
just smoking weed
she will post
TikToks
responding to creators
so she'll like
duet TikToks
McKenzie will
and it'll say things like
how do you smoke
but you can't roll
a blunt joint
and it's the
song like you is such a loser
right
and she'll duet it
and show Dom
as like oh well
I don't know how to roll
because my boyfriend
does it for me
that's the vibe
but I guess she gets inspired
because she also uses
a sound to do her own
TikTok about
weed. She is lip-syncing the words,
you is such a loser. And the caption
is, when girls only hang out with me because they know I have weed.
She really does love smoking weed. On her notes app,
on her phone, police found a birthday wish list.
And amongst those was weed
socks. So I guess like the socks with the little marijuana leaves on there.
Just not really fashion forward, but okay.
Her TikTok handles were baby cushy,
weed references.
Cushy means weed?
I think Cush.
Yeah. She has another video where she's smiling and the caption reads,
when everybody knows me not from popularity, but from my horrible reputation.
So, like, she seems to get off on knowing that Strongsville kind of hates her.
She has another TikTok where she's in a school library with other people,
and the words on the screen just read,
Most hated bitches of Strongsville.
She seems proud.
Now, side note, Strongsville is the suburbs outside of Cleveland, Ohio,
which it seems like it's reminiscent of a lot of,
suburban areas in America, cookie cutter housing developments, chain restaurants, massive parking lots
to accommodate every single fucking shopping plaza. The mall is probably the hangout spot.
I grew up in the suburbs. I hated it so I can see why McKenzie doesn't fit in and maybe she
doesn't like it. She has a distinct style and a stronger personality, if you want to call it that.
But she does protest about how much she hates Strongsville. She'll make TikToks. Like, I seriously
can't do, I can't do school anymore. It's so stupid. And it makes me feel so dumb. And bitch, I want to go to
New York or Florida.
I just want to go somewhere with good food and good picks.
To take pictures?
Yeah, I think it's a very interesting way to like figure out the next city you're going to live in,
like good food and good picks.
But she herself also stir shit up all the time.
She's the type to send audio notes like this.
I don't even know who she sent it to, but she sends an audio note.
And you need to get a facial every month.
Your skin looking mad crusty and you have a pizza face.
Like literally your ugliest fuck.
Get the fuck out of my comments, bitch.
So like a friend?
Yeah.
One person says one of my friends said that they were in a group chat with her.
And before school, she would call the group chat over and over and over and over again.
So much so that you couldn't even open the group chat because you were just getting calls like spammed.
And it was because she didn't know what she wanted to wear to school.
So she's just like spam calling everybody.
She's also just like a very confusing person.
She likes to DM friends, things like every woman's.
body is beautiful. Like, I swear, every friend has seen a different version of McKenzie. And I can see that
through her DMs and text messages. To some friends, she presents herself as like this girl's girl who
loves people and she just gets hated on on TikTok because, you know, haters, right? And then to other
people, she's like, you have a fucking pizza face. It's just shocking. Okay, so she's DMing a friend.
Every woman's body is beautiful. Every woman is a fucking goddess. Men need to learn. Then in other DMs,
she's calling people fat bitches.
In one text exchange, she tells Dom,
the bitch in the Jeep was about to try to not let me go
and I almost got in a car accident in front of her.
Dom responds, what a bitch.
McKenzie responds, I know she's fat
and I gave her a dirty-ass look
and I'm driving slow as fuck in front of her.
In another series of DMs,
she's complaining about how she's stressed out
at the prospect of not winning homecoming court
best dress prolative, okay?
She rants, bro, if I don't win,
I'm a freak.
I don't think she wins because she gets a DM by the real winner's sister.
And it seems like they all have some beef, okay?
Because the little sister is like, you didn't win because your outfits are ugly.
Oh, and I do think that this was a warranted thing because McKenzie was going around posting
the girl who actually won and she's wearing like a flannel shirt.
And she's writing really mean things like, I can't believe I lost to a bitch and a flannel.
Like it was just mean.
So I think the younger sister was warranted to, you know, you're young.
You're like, fuck you.
I'm going to stand up for my sister.
McKenzie response, I'm so sorry.
You're so insecure.
I mean, if I was overweight, I would probably make fun of pretty skinny girls too.
I mean, maybe you heard how crazy I am.
Have your big cissy text me if she has a problem.
The younger sister responds, your anorexic bitch shopping in the child section ain't cute.
McKenzie responds, maybe talk shit if you're going to do something about it.
We can have this convo in person if you want.
To which she responds,
I can snap your 5-270-pound ass like a twig.
McKenzie responds, is that a threat?
Maybe if you spent all the time eating,
you would be happy on the inside.
Now stop biting your older sister's problem, meatloaf.
Have a nice day.
To which the younger sister responds,
your ass is flat, get well soon.
Hope you end up in a hospital
because your twig body got sucked away in the wind.
Let me know I could blow air on you
and you would fly away.
You're probably one of the ugliest people I've ever seen.
McKenzie responds,
I don't care. I'm not insecure.
Being ugly is an illness.
Get well soon.
Which, I mean, clearly they had problems with each other before this because what the hell is going on.
That's crazy.
You had every single DM from her?
Yeah, yeah.
From a time period.
It was 2,000 pages of DMs.
And it was just like a fucking trip the whole time.
Yeah.
And speaking of best dress, a lot of netizens are just confused about the school's enforcement of their dress codes.
If they even have one, it just doesn't.
make any sense. One of her favorite
looks to show up to school, high school
in is she'll wear like
track suits, juicy couture tracksuits,
not the new ones because she obviously hates
those as per her own TikTok,
but the old ones.
And she will have her track suit
low-waisted and then she'll be wearing
like a string thong
and then pull up the strings
all the way up the sides,
effectively giving herself a wedgy. I mean, I get it.
It's a stylistic choice, but you're in high school.
You're in high school.
You're wearing it to school.
How do you know this?
Because she posts pictures at school of herself in the bathroom mirror.
She'll post TikToks.
She'll do like what I wore on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
And all of them I'm like, this is crazy.
What's the dress code, right?
Yeah, what's the dress code?
There is an incident where the school report,
because we got multiple disciplinary reports from McKenzie's school.
And the school report reads,
after being seen by a teacher in the bathroom taking selfies,
McKenzie was asked to zip up her hoodie,
probably because of dress code
and go to class to which she responded
by calling the teacher a fucking bitch
and a dumb bitch. So I guess
there is a dress code. It just doesn't apply to McKenzie.
Neither does not be on your phone.
Another school report reads, during
class McKenzie was seen playing a game on her phone.
When the teacher asked her to get off her phone,
McKenzie told her she was playing a game with her mother.
The teacher repeated herself a second time
and McKenzie failed to comply.
When the teacher told her to go to the administration office,
McKenzie went to the restroom and locked
herself in the stall. It took several teachers to address the matter with her. In another incident,
another teacher writes about McKenzie. Many of the students and a couple of the teachers commented
on her behavior and the need for administration to take action. I have been asking for help with her
all year. I would like her remove from my room as I am no longer comfortable with being verbally
attacked in front of students and being videotaped while it's happening. The teacher? Yeah.
What? Some people describe McKenzie as a wannabe Maddie from Euphoria.
the TV show.
There's one Instagram DM where they tell her,
you're literally Maddie IRL.
I aspire to have your energy one day.
Which, Mackenzie takes this to heart.
She's like, I'm Maddie, IRL because she DMs Euphoria on Instagram and says,
cast me, I'm that girl.
She sends them a video.
Cast me.
Like she says, so she's like, cast me, I'm that girl, sends a video.
Cast me.
Then she starts just like spamming photos.
at this point and says season three question mark and because I'm nosy I just wanted to do a
breakdown she sends a video and then she proceeds to send 17 photos what kind of photo just like
like insta pic yeah where she looks like Maddie from Euphoria or thinks she looks like
who's Maddie just uh just who's Maddie I mean she's pretty iconic yeah but I don't think
McKenzie is Maddie IRL right but I do
feel for whatever intern was handling euphoria socials, they deserve a week off because what the
fuck is that? She also is just messaging photos of herself to Vogue Runway, to Vogue, to Belensiaga.
She's just a very confusing individual. She says she doesn't like to body shame, but then she will go
ahead and do that if she doesn't like someone. She says she hates racism and will call people
out publicly for being racist, which is a good thing, but she herself will use the N-word and text
messages and also extensively make fun of Asian people.
I just guess...
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like what?
More on that later.
But like she's got some crazy beef with TikTok and she's like, it's because it's
fucking run by them damn Asians.
This is when it was bite dance and not Oracle.
I guess confusing is just not the correct word.
It's like hypocritical, right?
For example, according to one school report, McKenzie allegedly said to another student,
if I was a slave owner, I would have killed and then redact, insert student name.
who I'm assuming is black based off of this allegation.
Mackenzie denies ever saying that,
but at least three witnesses claim that they heard her say that.
And on the topic of racism,
another student reported that McKenzie airdrop them.
So like on their phone,
they get an air drop.
And it's a fucking meme of SpongeBob saying,
I spy N word with a harr.
Like I spy a N word with a harr.
This is a black student.
When asked about it,
McKenzie said,
oh my gosh, no, I was air dropped the meme.
Which she's dropping it to...
A black student.
That's crazy.
And so then she's like, oh my God, no, I never air dropped it.
Like, that's crazy.
I was air dropped that picture.
But it just didn't seem to add up, according to the school report.
The meme was reportedly seen on the phone and directly attributed to McKenzie.
There are disciplinary reports from back in 2018 where McKenzie got into a fight with another girl while she was walking to the buses.
She gets into a fist fight.
Then another report in 2018 filed by the parent of another girl,
where they tell the police that they're scared that McKenzie is going to beat up their child.
The report reads,
I spoke to my child who stated that while she was in third period class,
McKenzie Shirillah called her a bitch and threatened to beat her up.
She stated this was all over my daughter,
not giving McKenzie a Dorito chip.
She also stated that McKenzie posted on Instagram last year a picture of her showing her forehead.
The caption that she had was a big forehead.
So just like bullying, you know.
And, you know,
McKenzie allegedly tried to repost that picture today.
So when authorities talk to McKenzie about it, of course, she's like, well, no.
She's the one that threatened to beat me up when I asked for a Dorito chip, which is like,
doesn't even really make sense because it's like, hey, can I have a Dorito chip?
I'm going to beat you up.
Like, I don't, you would just say, no, you're weird.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She also states that the picture on Instagram, someone took her phone and posted it.
Of course, she would never do that because she's a girl's girl.
all. It's hard to say that McKenzie was ever universally well-liked, if liked by many at all.
She says online that she doesn't like anything designer, but in 2019, there's a report of her
stealing a pair of earrings from Coles. She was ultimately not prosecuted because the earrings
were not recovered and their value was less than $20. And also another thing about really
liking designer, she doesn't really like designer. She likes D.H. Gate, which nothing's wrong
with dupes, but she just like is so up in arms and has the superior.
because she has a Christian Diora bag,
but I can literally see her in her DMs on Instagram,
sending people D.H.Gate links to where she gets her stuff.
So she's like, I hate Brokees,
but then it's like, you can't really say that when you're,
I only wear designer, I hate Brokeys,
but your bag is D.H.G.
And nothing is wrong with a D.H.G.
Bag, but it's also like, kind of weird.
Yeah, hypocrite.
Yes.
A lot of things are hypocritical.
She will smoke weed until she's apparently coughing up black stuff
because she's essentially fast-tracking her lungs to an early demise,
but she's also super, super anal about sticking to an organic, non-GMO, gluten-free diet.
Really?
And why is she, is there a medical reason?
She says, quote, in a DM to someone, it helps my spiritual journey.
She says, to be honest, I love fruit.
So that's probably my favorite meal, just any fruit.
She gets upset when her friends eat her popcorn because she only likes natural, all-organic popcorn.
But also some people, you know, they would call her baby Cush because she literally smokes so much weed and posts about it all over social media.
And then that was her TikTok handle.
So what's going on?
She also rants about restaurants.
You think their seafood is freshly caught like none of it was?
I don't want no farm fish.
That's nasty as fuck.
In another DM message, someone sends her a link to melatonin gummies, it seems like, to help her sleep.
And McKenzie responds, is it natural?
They respond, yes, babes.
Our brains produce it naturally.
This should be a case study that organic food consumption does not make one brighter than the rest.
Let's just say, if McKenzie is going to have an anti-fan club, there are going to be people lined up around the block to be the president of that anti-fan club.
And probably for good reason.
She's just not really objectively speaking a great person, in my opinion.
Am I telling you this in the context of the crash?
Not necessarily because legally it doesn't work like that.
I mean, just because you're kind of a weird brat doesn't mean you're guilty of a crime.
However, I do think that this is all contextual information that would be necessary to understand the case in its entirety and what people have been saying and why they've been saying certain things.
After extensively researching, I can try to group up the three major groups of people and how they feel about this case.
The first group of people, they obviously believe that whatever happened that night in the car, they believe it was an accident.
Now, this is like the smallest of the people from what I could see anecdotally, just like surfing on Reddit,
but I'm not a freaking AI data analyst, okay?
I don't know.
But it just seems like a smaller group of people
that believe that it must have been an accident
because it doesn't make sense.
You know, they think that maybe McKenzie
suffered a medical emergency passed out on the wheel
causing this accident,
or maybe it's like a car malfunction.
And even though the police ruled it out, you never know.
The larger masses, however, believe it was planned.
Now, to what degree is up for debate?
So the second group of people believe
that McKenzie planned this crash days
in advance, that she was going to crash the car with Dom in it, and Davion just happened to be
in the car, and she has no regard for anybody's life but her own. A few days before she turned 18,
like that people are saying it's intentional. She allegedly, they claim, scoped out the crash
site. Now, there is evidence that she was on that road previously, but people have interpreted
that differently. Some people are saying, like, this was a known cut through. Other people are
saying, like, no, she was scoping out the crash site. So take it as you will. But they believe
that she drove down the same road multiple times beforehand.
She planned it to the tea because she knew Dom was going to break up with her soon.
And Davion just happened to be in the car.
Now, the third group of people think...
Do they believe McKenzie is planning to be alive after the crash?
I think there's subgroups of people.
Some people think that she might not have had that foresight.
Some people think, like, she probably does because if evidenced by her social media,
of posting her driving and smoking.
There are certain teenagers who live very reckless lifestyles
and who believe that they are almost like physically invincible.
Other people believe that she just like is such an emotionally volatile,
evil person that she doesn't even care about her own safety.
But there's lots of nuanced debates that we're going to get into later
because her head was found under the dash.
So some people are saying, oh, that's like evidence that she could have fainted,
before the crash.
Some people are saying, like, that could have happened just because the airbags are
deploying.
Other people are saying she intentionally did it so that her face wouldn't get busted from
the airbags.
And she's a narcissist.
So it's all just everyone has their own opinion about it.
Now, the third group of people, they don't necessarily think that McKenzie has been planning
this days in advance.
But they do think that there was intent.
They do think that this is murder because whatever happened in the car, most likely they
believe is an argument that broke out between McKenzie and Dom. And still, McKenzie has no regard
for Dom or especially Davion's life because he's just in the back seat. She crashes the car
and rage and that is still intentional murder. So these are like the three main groups that I've
seen. Obviously, the legal outcome of this case supports the second and third theory that this
was intentional murder, which there is intent behind the crash. Which is why a lot of people have
taken to trying to analyze Mackenzie and Dom's relationship, as it all feels highly relevant.
Whatever happened in the car, most people believe it's either because McKenzie didn't want
Dom to break up with her soon or because she got enraged during a fight in the car and was ready to
kill him for it. One friend says, Dom provided everything for McKenzie.
McKenzie didn't work a job. Mackenzie would live with Dom. Dom would provide for her,
like with everything. Dom would buy her groceries, Don would buy her clothes, anything, anything.
that McKenzie needed.
Dom gets it for her.
So they had this relationship where it's like they were just ready to move on and marry.
So they felt like, you know, it was very serious.
But Dom was like the provider.
He would even be expected to provide for McKenzie's weed consumption.
She would make literal demands.
There are text messages between the two where she says,
maybe if you listened for one second, enclosed.
By the way, she writes enclosed, like an enclosure, like a cage.
Mm-hmm.
listen enclosed
instead of closed
like she's trying to say enclosed your mouth
but she's saying enclosed like an enclosure
oh oh just listen and close your mouth
yeah but she said enclosed
she's like maybe if you listen for a second
enclosed your fucking mouth
you
you would hear what I was saying
but you just don't fucking stop going
I'm so fucking fed up with this shit
I'm giving you one more chance to give me weed
or there's going to be issues.
I'm going to do a whole separate video, part four of this series.
We're just going to go down pretty much every fight that they've had through text messages
because it is a 31,000 page document with over 90,000 text messages that are highly relevant
to this case.
So that's going to be in part four.
So like a few episodes later.
And that's kind of like a standalone episode.
I mean, it's just literally just going to be analyzing the full text document and the journey
of their relationship because there's a lot of.
that happens through 2020 through 2022. There's text messages, days leading up to the crash and all of
the fights that are happening. Because there's a lot of explosive fights and you can really see
McKenzie's, I don't even want to, it almost feels abusive. Like, you'll see a lot of things in that
episode. But that's going to be in part four. And this concludes the first half of part one of this
series. I'm going to, in the second half of part one of the series, we're going to go through
some of the text messages that showcase their relationship dynamic, as well as the crash itself.
When the officers get there, who called 911, what Davion's friends have said, all of like the
crash data, the black box data, that's going to be in this second half. So stay tuned for that.
Stay safe. And I will see you in the next one.
