  • Warm Milk, Foot Rubs, and White Claws: ALL The Texts Between Mackenzie & Dad
    Jun 28 2026

    Mackenzie Shirilla was found guilty of murder, felonious assault, and aggravated vehicular homicide after she murdered her former boyfriend Dominic Russo and his roommate at the time, Davion Flanagan. She deliberately ended the young men’s lives by driving her car into a brick wall at 100 miles per hour.


    Boom.


    That’s the graphic t-shirt that Mackenzie’s father decided to wear for his Netflix documentary debut.


    “I’m a buff baby who can dance like a man, I can shake'a my fanny, I can shake'a my can, I'm a tough tootin' baby—“


    That’s the ringtone to Steve Shirilla’s phone that goes off mid-interview.


    “This wasn't a volatile relationship. They were never going to break up.”


    And that’s Steve’s line he tells an interviewer when asked about his daughter’s relationship with one of the young men she killed.


    We personally read tens of thousands of pages of text messages between the two that suggest the complete opposite. This is Mackenzie Shirilla’s double homicide case continued.

  • We Asked Rosie & Bubba from "The Crash" EVERYTHING The Internet Wants To Know
    Jun 21 2026

    19 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.

Your ability to recount and present this tragedy is masterful. I'm a new listener and Gen X (old bird hehe) and very much knew about John Holmes. Save for the adult film and homicide elements, my Mum also succumbed to that lifestyle and I lost her when I was 16... I'm now 44 and it still hurts... Nevertheless, love listening to you guys and keep up the stellar work.

Every Wednesday and Sunday I get excited for this podcast to drop! Stephanie is an amazing story teller. She is so engaging and the little additional comments from her fiancé make this podcast so charming and enjoyable, even when the content is sometimes so dark. I’m a big fan of her Baking a Mystery series as well, where she reviews and retells films and stories. Couldn’t recommend her content more!!

Absolutely obsessed!
