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.
Ohio teen Mackenzie Shirilla had been dating Dominic Russo for years and their relationship was described as tumultuous. A friend overheard 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.
This episode of the True Crime Society Podcast was first released in 2023. We are re-releasing the episode due to renewed interest in the case following the release of the Netflix documentary ‘The Crash’.
