So McKenzie is texting her friend Rosie, I am Gia already liked I am Gia being the clothing brand. AKA, this huge clothing brand liked her Instagram picture Rosie responds, Oh my God, yes, we're so famous MackKenzie says, bro, we're going be famous as fuck soon before this year ends This is from july eleventh, twenty twenty two, just twenty days before the crash where Mackenzie drove her car into a brick building at nearly one hundred miles per hour speeds, killing her boyfriend Dom in the front passenger seat and her friend Davion in the backseat. This case has since gone viral again with the release of the new Netflix documentary called The Crash Both Mackenzie and her friend Rosie have given interviews to the documentary makers, and they do in fact become famous together Rosie becoming one of the more hated controversial individuals from the Netflix documentary, with people coming up with theories online that she knew ahead of time that McKenzie was planning this crash, that she drove by the crash site and didn't call the police that morning, that she was interested in DOM. like there are such a wide range of theories that have been circulating Theories upon theories about whether or not Rosie and Mackenzie are doing some sort of big cover up and just a lot of questions. likeike why did Rosie refuse to talk to the police? But then she went ahead and did a Netflix documentary A lot of those questions are going to be answered today. Our researchers reached out to Rosie and Bubba, who was also featured in the Netflix documentary. Bubba was Davon's close friend, as well as Rosie's boyfriend And we asked all those pertinent questions. But more importantly, we also asked, what actually happened that night They were one of the last few people to see Dom and Davianne alive for the last time. And they answered all of our questions So with that, welcome to part two of the MackKenzie Sharella case. We would like to thank today's sponsors who have made it possible for Rotten Mingo to support Change the Game for DomM Foundation and Davian Flanagan's Memorial Scholarship Fund. Both Glf Funmies are run by the families of the victims, and we're going to include all of those plus all the information regarding Dom and Davianne's Law, which aims to update Ohio's Son of Sam laaws in order to prevent violent offenders from profiting off their crimes All of that is going to be included in our show notes.

We'd also like to thank you guys for your continued support As always, ph show notes are available at Rot andmingopodcast dot com dot Today's episode involves mentions of illicit drug usage, reckless driving, driving while intoxicated, self exit, and possible domestic violence. We did poull the FOIA for this case and literally went through tens of thousands of pages of text messages, just detective incident reports, autopsy reports, photos, videos, snapchat data, Instagram DM data, text messages like Tens of thousands of pages of text messages. so naturally, quotes and statements may be condensed for brevity. There is also a lot of discourse surrounding this case, and in order to explain the entirety of the case and the internet reception of things that have been released to the public, we are going to go over a lot of opinions, comments, and speculations made by netizens They do not represent our own opinions. So with that being said, I will say that this case has gained a lot of attention with the Netflix documentary The Crash. And we went through the entire case file. So this is going to be a pretty lengthy series. The Netflix documentary was about an hour and a half, and we've gone through, I mean, I don't even It's like five thousand videos, five thousand separate photos Tens of thousands of pages of text messages, ninety seven jail calls totaling up to like twenty hours, hundreds of pages of police documents, thirty nine bodycam and dash cam videos. We went through it all and we're going to break it all down. This is going to be a five part series. In the first part, please go watch that first the previous episode. We went over the crash itself as The relationships of everybody in the car, the relationship dynamic and generally what people believe happened that night. In this part, we're going to be breaking down the Netflix documentary, the social media response, as well as what we asked Rosie and Bubba and what they've responded and all of the things that happened. It was like a two hour long conversation asking them pretty much every single question that the internet had for them In partart three, we're going to be breaking down the main relationships within the Serlla family. There's been a lot of allegations and rumors and just conspiracy theories circulating online that Mackenzie had a very strange relationship with her dad, where she would text him in the middle of the night asking for warm milk and people think warm milk is a code for something else. And there's just a lot to unpack there. That's gonna be part three. In part four, it's going to be the entire breakdown, the journey of MackKenzie and Dom's relationship through their text messages from twenty twenty and then leading up to the crash. And part five will be all the jail calls as well as Mackenzie's prrison girlfriends who have come out on TikTok to talk about what their experience was like dating Mackenzie in prison. and she would call herself Allegedly, she said that people called her Shherilla the killer, so With that being said Let's get started November fourth, twenty twenty two Four months after the crash that killed Dom and Davian. Mackenzie is on the way back from physical therapy. She's in the passenger seat, herer mom, Natalie is driving and they get pulled over. Mackenzie has her phone out. She's like recording all of this. Her camera is pointed primarily at the side mirror of the passenger side car, so you can see an officer in the mirror walk up to the car. He says, Hi Mackenzie and snatches the phone out of MackKenzie's hand and you hear her whining, Don't touch my phone You're under arrest. Why? We have a warrant for arrest, come on out. Why They get her out of the car, they cuff her and they put her in the back of the police car. They arrest her in the middle of the road? Yeah. they pulled over on that Yeah. So did she know that or she thought it was a traffic stop? It seems like they thought it was a traffic stop. Wh. Yeah. The officer tells her you're under arrest for aggravated murder times two, okay? The officer starts taking off one of her handcuffs. And she says, Could you please be careful taking this one off so it doesn't break the bracelet, please and she starts sniffling while thanking him It's interesting, this whole bracelet thing becomes like a whole point of contention. Again, as she's getting booked, the officers are talking to her. What's your first name? MackKenzie Okay, Mackenzie, I'm gonna take off your handcuffs. I need all the jewelry and everything to come off, okay because she's going to jail I can't wear any of it No I need to take it off while you're in jail right now Mcenzie starts crying. I can't wear these No, unfortunately, everything's going to have to come off right now. Once we know when the detective comes back and we know for sure what's going on, everything's going to be backged up here. It's not going anywhere She starts trying to take off her bracelets and they look like the, you know, those like rubber live strong bracelets that used to be big back in the day But I don't think they're live strong. they're like the rubber bracelets. And later it's been explained from MackKenzie's side and Mcenzie's friends and family that these bracelets were all sentimentally connected to Dom. and she hadn't taken them off since the crash. And that's why she was crying. But a lot of people have interpreted it as how are you crying about a bracelet when you're being arrest for murder times too Either way, she's very distraught about taking them off. They notice that she also has extensions, which she informs them that she cannot take them out unless they have pliers After MackKenzie's arrest, there's some interesting bodycam footage that was in the FOIA file. Her dads Steve marches down to the police station and he looks He honestly looks like a chill dad, right? So he's got like a white kind of white haired beard with like a full head of like whitish gray hair and he dresses super relaxed. He's an art teacher. He almost dresses kind of like a kid. I don't know how to describe it. not he's not overly stuffy. he's not wearing polos, It doesn't look like he's obsessed with golfing on the weekends. He seems like he's a little bit more creative in that aspect. And I don't mean that as a compliment, I dont really ever want to compliment him. but He walks into the police station and he, I mean, obviously, understandably, this is a highly emotionally charged moment, but he's using his hands to passionately talk pol off I need to speak to my daughter because you guys aren't allowed to speak to her at all. That's from her lawyer. He does not want you guys speaking to her. I can get him on the phone and she can tell you that over the phone if that works or I can go in and tell her not to open her mouth. You guys did this on the weekend?ust Hey, there's a warrant for her. We would have brought her right here with no problem. It's just unbelievable The officer says, the warrant was issued today. so we executed it today. The warrant wasn't issued earlier If you need to roll out the whole task to pick up an eighteen year old girl who can hardly walk out of a hospital, I mean it's just beyond me. Yeah, Steve, lots of things are apparently beyond you, like common sense and good parenting opinion that I strongly hold. Steve aggressively asks the officers, am I going to be allowed to have a two minute conversation with her You cannot talk to her Why isn't she get a phone call whichich like, godamn, yourour daughter is not special in anyone else's eyes, but your own. Like this is the process that they have to go through. The officer has to explain and spell it out to Steve Sarilla. She was just brought in. They're going to process her as soon as they get the time for her to make a phone call She'll be able to make a phone call We just need to advise her that she has a lawyer She's eighteen years old and she could speak that Yeah, but she's a dumb eighteen year old that just turned eighteen. All kids nowadays are dumb Sure, Steve, if that helps you sleep better at night, okay? Just know that most of us didn't get into a fatal car crash that took two lives at eighteen years old. seventeen, basically eighteen. But I digress Steve continues angrily, telling the officers. and these guys are going to take advantage of it. She's not allowed to speak to you guys. I'm telling you that The officer straight up walks away clloses the door whilest Steve is still screaming. Steve Sharilla is still screaming He's like, donon't ask her any questions. She's not allowed to speak to you The officer is clearly unbothered, and this is through his body cam. So it's like we just have the perspective of his chest. And he just walks to the backroom where all the other cops are. He walks to his desk And he says, Hey y he grabs his bag of cool ranch Dorito and starts snacking W yeah Yeah. He just removed himself from that. Yeah, he's like, a yeah, ya and just started snacking on Doritos in the back. Even on nets, I mean, I just think the Shabilla parents, if you The Netflix documentary, we'll get into it in a second, but they are just like massive complainers. They like to complain about everything. Even on Netflix, they're complaining. I don't know why they needed nine or ten cars to roll up on an eighteen seventeen year old girl. Prosecution needed to show and they wanted to put on a pageant In the Netflix documentary, Mackenzie's parents also say, Natalie and Steve also say, we were just like in shock Murder So they're in shock that she was arrested for murder Not reckless driving, not vehicular homicide, murder Steve says, goodood luck proving it. There's no. What proof? What proof do they have of any of this? I know it's become almost like an online joke at this point that documentary filmmakers love to give us an empty chair when introducing their next guest to talk. and then having that guest dramatically sit down on the chair before looking directly into the camera, breaking the fourth wall, and then starting with their opening line of like, Let me tell you about that night, you know? That is exactly what they do with MackKenzie in the Netflix documentary. But the part that the internet is freaking out over is not the slightly played out dramatic empty chair sit down, but rather the way MackKenzie sits down She walks into frame prison uniform, hair tied up with a bun the size of a cantaloupe on top of her head. She's a full face of makeup, and she almost like pops out her hip, arches her back as she sits down on the chair clasps her hands in front of her and almost like smirks to the camera. Like it's just like a very weird. She's looking directly at us. The internet points out it's just she looks like she's on a coffee date rather than a documentary interview about how she killed two people She sits down, the producer asks her So could you tell me why you want to give this interview Mackenzie I've never spoke before. I never told my side of the story. I understand there's many different sides to the story and different perspectives, but I just want to say my truth. And I just know myself and I know I'm not a monster What do you think happened to the crash Through all the evidence that has been presented, the most logical speculation seems to be a medical emergency This like sentence itself is she sat in her cell memorizing this from her attorney because I have read through so many thousands upon thousands of pages of Mackenzie texting and audio messaging people and she does not speak in this manner. This is like, this is my lawyer told me to say this for this documentary How does a medical emergency account for the control of the car? So she's like the most logical reason. is a medical emergency. So they're like, how, How are you able to control the car then if it's a medical emergency? And she says, I'm unsure, because I have no recollection of that morning. But I know nothing about it was intentional. The interview with MackKenzie is short or at least the included parts with MackKenzie. I mean, she's not really saying anything of value other than trying to convince the viewers at home that she's a good person, which I mean, I guess it's up to you to decide, right? But she says she still has no memory She thinks it's a medical emergency. What medical emergency? She doesn't know because she doesn't remember anything, but she says she's grown and she's remorseful for all the things that she clearly doesn't remember. She says about her relationship with Dom. We were just two kids messing with each other. And then as the years went on and we stayed together and grew closer, we would have probably been married by now. He was just so protective and loving over me. I just wanted to heal him and he wanted to heal me partners, we just took care of each other. I mean, we argued, we got back together, we broke up, we got back together. It was rocky, but it was good. It was just We were in love, young love She says it's really hard every day here. I try to wake up and be the best person I can be every day. stay out of trouble. There's not a moment that doesn't pass where I don't think about them or I don't feel a pain in my chest that it's still like the void of losing them. Near the end, the producer asks her, is there any last word that you'd like to say And she turns to her right and she's like looking at someone off the camera It's her lawyer They let us know. They're like she's looking at her lawyer, right? Her lawyer was present. She goes Did I touch on that? the right Okay, so everything is like you think I don't want to force anything and just say too much or sound crazy. just I just want to make sure that I'm big on the no intent There was no intent whatsoever there. I have excessive amounts of remorse for Dom, Davvyon, both of their families. This was not intentional and I will do everything I can to prove that to the world. and the families set. That was weird. Yeah. Is that like a fourth war breaking moment? Like she's That was so weird. and the only thing the internet can really get out of this is first of all, the sitd down of her sitting on that chair was crazy. her hair was crazy. And the fact that she said, I'm big on the no intent is just like people are having their minds blown on TikTok over that line. What do you mean? You're big on the no intent? What do you mean by that The Netflix documentary also sat down with Dahond Davvon's family members. They focused a lot on the pain that the family members had to endure losing Dahond Davon, and it felt very transparent in the sense of the families of both those boys felt really vulnerable in sharing their journey of finding out they lost their babies, essentially their children. So then feeling relieved at least another child was able to survive. that Mackenzie was alive and in surgery. There was almost like a real Re Because it's like, okay, at least. You know? And then feeling confused because they're like, wait, nothing is adding up about this car crash. Like it doesn't make sense. her behavior isn't making any sense. They're not getting the answers that they so desperately need and deserve And then they see this evidence and then all of the complicated just evolution of all these feelings, Dom and Davvon's sisters have been using their platforms to showcase Dom and Davon's lives as well. and they were both included in the documentary. And it's just so frustrating to see the grace and composure that both Dom and Davonne's family members held in this entire documentary. Juxtaposed to the Serilla parents. MackKenzie's parents, Natalie and Steve, who come off incredibly tone deaf, entitled and just fucking dense. I don't really know how else to put it, okay? They just are not likeable either and it almost they seem like enablers The documentary also brought in a few of MackKenzie's friends who have since gone viral. and there were just a lot of moments where it feels like Just watching the documentary from the perspective of just watching the documentary. It feels like you're on a different planet from the people that are on the screen talking because you're like, there's no way they just said that. There's no way any of this is real. For example, one of McKenzie's friends, Faith, states in the documentary that essentially she cannot see McKenzie intentionally crashing that car becausecause she can't imagine MackKenzie ever hurting herself Like that's just not Mcenzie She says Kenzie loves herself a lot She wouldn't even have a Mc chicken with me at McDonald's because she cared so much about her own health I don't feel like somebody like that who cares so much about their body and so much about themselves And you know, how they're doing would be suicidal. Apparently, a McCicken from McDonald's is some sort of litmus test now. The documentary also brought in two of McKenzie's friends that were there at the gathering that McKenzie Dom and Aavion left And that was the drive home where the car crashed. Rosie and Bubba, they were there and they were interviewed and they have gone viral But before we do that, let's run through the night of july thirtieth and the early morning of july thirty first, twenty twenty two Summer eating hits differently, fresh ingredients, colorful salads, perfectly charred burgers.

Now in part one, I told you guys that Davion is staying with Dom while his parents are out of town on vacation because he just started a new job. he cann't go on the family vacation. MackKenzie is basically living with Dom even though she's seventeen. So naturally it makes sense that the three of them decide to go to a few grad parties together They live together. they take one car, McKenzie and Daveyon graduated. Dom is dating McKenzie. The first stop is Kelly's They get to this girl named Kelly's house at around ten PM Kelly speaks with detectives and she tells them Okay, it really wasn't like a crazy grad party or anything. My mom was there the entire time. In fact, her mom is in the interview. And she says MackKenzie Dom and Davvion get there, and they're just kind of sitting off to the side for a little bit before Mackenzie asks Kelly, Hey, come here Kelly tells the police she walks over you trip meaneting due asset troms No, I don't do that Kelly kind of thinks it's weird because Mcenzie knows that her mom is home. That's just not the vibe right now. That's just not the energy. So she's not trying to do that right now, right here. The conversation pivots, but Kelly still hears Mackenzie and Dom making plans about maybe going to some guy named Mark's house and saying things like, shouldhould we do it tonight? Should we do it tonight? So it sounds like to Kelly that they're debating whether or not they want to do shrooms or trip or whatever And then within twenty minutes, they leave. And Kelly's like, she gets it. She says that she thinks the three of them were maybe expecting like a party party. and it was just more so Kelly and her friends hanging out and her mom was home and it was just more like a chill gathering So they leave Kelly's and they actually head over to a different guy's house Paul's house the police interview Paul. and he says he's technically Mcenzie's friend So they're just trying to get like, how do you guys all know each other And he's like, well, okay. So Paul is best friends with Rosie Wh's in the document. And Rosie started hanging out with MackKenzie a few months ago. But also Paul has his own connection with Mackenzie because senior year they both tried to do, he wanted to be homecoming king. She was trying to be homecoming queen. So he says that she really helped boost his confidence during that time. So he's got his own like friendship with MackKenzie. so he's closest with MackKenzie He's not really close with Dom. It seems like he's familiar with Davonne, if not friendly, friends with Davianne, right? Now, Mackenzie just happens to bring Dom everywhere she goes, and Davonne is currently also staying with Dom and Rosie's boyfriend, Bubba He's super close with Davon. I'm gonna to make it clear later, but just like hold on to it. And Paul says everyveryone loves Davon. which side note Kelly, the host of the grad party right before, she says the same thing. Kelly says about Davon. All I know is he's a good kid. He just tries to make friends everywhere It's just something consistent that I've observed throughout all of the police interviews. Everyone goes out of their way to explain how much Davon meant to them. and it doesn't feel forced or calculated, but more so I think he just like had that big of an impact on everyone. So unpompted, a lot of people will just Tell the police like, I mean, he's like an incredible person. Just so friendly, so chill, like everybody loves him Davon's mom says, you know, I would always say that he had an old soul because he was just wise beyond his ears, just in a lot of ways because he's had so much experience in his short life And again, we're going to go in depth on Davion's family and what they've said their foundation in a later episode So one interesting thing to note is Paul tells investigators that he refuses to ever ride in Mackenzie's car In general. She she's a horrible driver. The police are like, what do you mean by that? He's explaining she got in a fight with her neighbor about like zooming past a stop sign. One time at the carnival, she was gonna drive me home and I was like, no, sorry, I'm good Paul says even Rosie, the one from the documentary, told him, like, don't get in the car with MackKenzie. she's not a good driver Wow, that is crazy. Yeah. So they're like, okay, well tell us about the gathering because they leave your house and that's when Mackenzie crashes the car. Oh, they were at Paul's house till five in the morning. Yes So Paul is like, okay, well, that whole day, before they came over, you know, I was at work the entire day. So when I finally got back home, I was really tired. But I had to do something. That's like the vibbe he gives. L I had to do something because my parents were out of town. And quote, I had six people over. So in my opinion, that was not a party. you know, there was no party activities going on because I don't have enough friends to throw a banger. I'm just gonna be honest He says it was him. so it's Paul Another friend named Nina, Rosie Rosie's boyfriend Bubba Buba is close friends with Deavian Rosie is now hanging out a lot with MackKenzie and McKenzie brought Dom. So it's seven people Paul, Nina, Rosie Bubba, Davian Mackenzie and Dom. Rosie, Nina and Bubba show up at around eleven PM. Mackenzie Dom and Davon get there closer to midnight because they were at like a different grad party. They were just grad party hopping. And it was a chill night for about an hour. Paul says, you know earlier that day he was kind of in a shitty mood because he did also break like his whole car broke down. so he was working, his car broke down, he's not in the best mood. So he decides after chilling for an hour that he's just going to go to sleep So he goes upstairs, leaves everybody downstairs because his parents aren't home, they're out of town. He goes upstairs and quote, they're still up and they're still watching. I remember hearing South Park playing really loudly. And then I went downstairs again at like two, three in the morning to pee, sometime like that. I see Mackenzie asleep on the couch in the front room and they're watching cartoons Everyone was really tired, It was really late. I don't think there was like any fighting or anything like that going on at all, or at least that's what I saw He says they all did smoke weed. They talked about doing shrooms, but they didn't end up doing the shrooms So he's like, I don't know. likeike I went upstairs. When I came down at like two three AM MackKenzie was asleep and I didn't witness any fighting or anything weird The next morning, he wakes up at around ten AM to Rosie calling him and telling him that there had been a car crash When authorities arrived to the car crash, they extract MackKenzie, they find in her possession on her person, a baggie filled with rorooms. And there are messages that police get between Rosie and McKenzie that night. So before MackKenzie shows up to Paul's house sixix PM. MackKenzie asks Rosie about Guyennopause. Do you think it's cool to trip there So Mcenzie's like, do you is, you know, can I go and trip there Rosie says, Yeah Okay, I'm trusting you. hisis parents aren't tweaks, like Bubba. They would probably let him have people over. Mackenzie is unsure if she's actually gonna to end up at Paul'. so she's still kind of debating and then she's like, is it okay to trip there? Rosie's like, for sure. Rosie texts, Could we still buy off Dom if you guys don't want to trip? You should come hang out for like a little smoke or whatever. Okay, bet, like what do you need? We might come. So Rosie says, yes, me, Paul, Nina, and Baba need them and some bud Do you not want a trip? Did you guys already trip at the zoo today? We're not sure because and McackKenzie's saying like, we're not really sure because it's already so late. Dom says no and we were going to, but we didn't. But yet, we can give you guys that. McKenzie texts at ten twenty four PM. We're probably going to come. So like last minute, she's like, okay, we're going to come Rosie says, Okay, cool. And so we want forty dollars worth of bud and Bubba wants three and I want two point five, Nina wants one point five and Paul wants two point five. So the grams they It's reference to shrooms. So they want forty dollarars worth of weed and then everybody wants like different amounts of shrooms. And then she's just like complaining. L Ros is saying Nina claims she just wants a gram And then Mackenzie is saying, Br, tellell her more, like a grram is it sounds like she's saying a Gram is not going to get you there to Rosie responds, Okay fine she said like one point five. Okay, b. Okay, we're all at Pauls I'm about to come. Okaykay, send me Paul's address. I'm on the way. So they send the address they meet up They get to Paul's house and like all we have once everybody is at Paul's house is what everybody says happens at Paul's house. And Paul is like, I was asleep for most of it And then at five thirty AM, Davon rememember he has the life three hundred sixty app connected to his friends. His app shows him leaving Paul's house. It's Mackenzie driving, Dom in the front passenger seat, Davon in the back Five minutes later, the car slams into the building at nearly one hundred miles per hour A few things to note about this timeline. A lot of people do think it's odd that they left Paul's house at five thirty in the morning. It's not like Paul's parents were coming home so they're like, oh, we gotta all get out of here before my parents come back. It just seems like a very early time for them to get up and get out. It's been reported to detectives that MackKenzie fell asleep at some point. She doesn't necessarily strike me as the accommodating type of person who will wake up from her slumber to drive Dom and Davy on home O maybe she woke up and was like, I'm uncomfortable. I want to go sleep in a bed I don't know. I mean, some people also think shes not really doesn't strike them as a early bird. So why go home at five thirty Do they jobs or anything places to go to. Yeah, so they had places to go to, but all kind of within each other. It doesn't seem that Mackenzie and Dom had any strong plans that morning, but Davon was actually going to go hang out with Bubba again to fix up Bubba's car Okay. It's like actually a whole thing because he was gonna go straight to Bubba's house with Bubba, but then last minute, Daveon was like, I'm actually gonna to go back to Dom so I can shower and clean up a little It's just an odd time for them to leave, which has led people to believe and speculate and theorize that it would make sense for them to leave if McKenzie and Dom were fighting. And they're like, you know what? L this fight is getting big, like let's go home and fight in private. And since Davon is staying with Dom, he ends up going with them. On the drive home, they're still arguing Mackenzie in retaliation out of rage drives the car full force into the building But the problem with this is every single person present at the gathering that night state that they did not witness any fighting between MackKenzie and Dom. Some people think they're flat out lying, others think Maybe they are telling the truth, but that doesn't mean a fight never occurred. Whether it's just on the way home or whether there was a fight earlier that night and it just wasn't felt or witnessed at Paul's house, but it resumed in the car. Judging by McKenzie's text messages and Instagram DMs to Dom, I will say that she clearly seems like an instigator who knows how to escalate a fight in record time. She's kind of like a bomb. She seems to go off at the smallest thing and it's very explosive So I could understand how a lot of people theorize that a fight broke out once they got into the car on the way home. Davonne's friend who hosted his vigil goes to the police and he reports And it makes sense So he's saying like, I'm on DavVon's life three hundred sixty app. and he's like, ' you know, they're all just trying to grapple with what happened. And I think Davon's friends had their own special set of grie because I think with Dom and Mackenzie, a lot of Dom's family and friends were just, it was a lot of like, what could we have done to prevent like did we know this relationship was this toxic? What were the signs between their relationship? For Davianne, it was more like it's almost shocking because why was Davianne in the car? like there was no He's not like they're not that close to friends. It's just it was more I think abrupt They are trying to make sense of it and one of the friends is telling the officers and it makes sense with the L three hundred sixty app because it's just like You know, the kid is in the back seat, they're dating, they're having problems. they're fighting. she got mad. She's always like There's a lot of people that have come up to me and said, like they always fought, you know, everybody. I could probably pull a ton of witnesses to say that and testify for that. Like they always fought. They've always argued over stuff and maybe they were fighting. and they literally hit the gas right when they got in that area. They're driving fine, you know, And then how all of a sudden, you're driving good and then you drive bad for like two minutes when you're five minutes away from Dom's house So he's saying It's just He thinks They got into a fight and Daveon just happened to be in the backseat He says, yeah, it's crazy and it's tragic that one good kid I mean, they're all good kids, but One good kid that just didn't do any of that stuff that was just in the wrong crowd at that time. And he's talking about his friend, Daviia They described that they feel Daveon was in the car as quote, It was almost like he was a hostage in the car because they can't really understand. The friend describes another friend comes in and is telling the officers like, I was on vacation in Colorado and I sent Davi on a picture. And he said to that picture, like he's responding in the car So they're going through the life three hundred sixty and they're like, Ohh my God, he was in the car when he responded to his friend's snapchat picture of Colorado. So they think this is their theory that Davon's friends who showed the life three hundred sixty app to the police. They're like, Mackenzie and Dom aren fighting because that's before the crash. And Davon is Snapchat responding to his friend So his friend had sent him a picture of the Colorado mountains, and then Davon responds like, Damn, what the fuck that go crazy becausecause it looked so beautiful The friend tells the police they think Davon was probably on his phone because it's awkward when the couple are fighting, and so it's awkward to just sit there so he was on his phone. Two hours later, that friend responds back to Davon on God. Bro, we walked like two hours in a thunderstorm in the dark in the middle of the park. Cole said he saw a mountain lion. byy that time, Davian is gone And like I said, another thing to note is Mackenzie was the only one wearing her seat belelt, which netizens sounds very interesting because she rarely ever is seen wearing a seatbelt. But that night she is and Dom and Davon aren't. So people theorize that they were trying to save their lives The prosecutor even agrees with that theory, stating, I think the boys were trying to save their lives I think Dom and Davon were yanking on the wheel, grabbing the gear shift and it was just too late. Dom's sister says the car was the weapon, and it was just exactly like she took a gun and shot Dominiic and Davevon. Davion's little sister says The most important thing I want people to know aboutb Davon is that he's not just some backseat cargo. He was somebody's kid and he was my brother and he was a brother to me and my sister MackKenzie's actions after the crash have also been heavily scrutinized for good reason. She just She keeps reaching out to Dom and Davonne's family members in the most bizarre way So she doesn't reach out for a long time. And then when she finally does, she's like, donon't hate me Basically. Don't hate me. Yeah. So in the two thousand page Instagram file that we got from the FOIA request, MackKenzie is messaging a relative of Dom's, his cousin, september twenty second, twenty twenty two. So this is like a month two months After the crash, MackKenzie reaches out to his cousin and writes, Hey, I know we didn't talk much and I completely understand if you hate me, I hate myself too. I just wanted to apologize to you because I know you guys were close. I hope you don't think it was my fault. I never did this on purpose. I wish he was here every single day. He should be here. It should have been me. I don't want any sympathy, but I just wanted to apologize whichich is like kind of a presumptuous thing of her to say like I don't want any sympathy for her to already think that she's going to get sympathy Considering you're reaching out to Dom's cousin But she messages again I also wanted to let you know that I was completely sober. I know there's been fucked up rumors. I don't know if you've heard them, but they're all fucking not true. They're just making me look so bad like I would hurt my baby on purpose. I never would. I would have sacrificed myself in a heartbeat for him Dom's cousin responds, How fast were you going? I would really love to know the details. I don't know if you're allowed to share that info or know, but I would appreciate it if you could share some detail. There's just no justification to be going ninety miles per hour if that is even the correct speed. Also, something that doesn't sit right with me is that you were sharing irrelevant things right when it happened, reposting and liking things you know, responding to the modeling agency and stuff You haven't posted anything about Daveon, and you're just now starting to post stuff about DM And I'm not here to bash you. It just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, thank you for the apology. None of this will ever feel real. I just can't believe this has happened. If you want, you can call me. I don't know if you can hear my voice though. I'll try to make you feel better about it. And to be honest, I don't really remember the accident for some reason. All I remember is turning on the street and my vision goes dark. and it's really weird because I drive that street like almost every single day and I have never once went that fast on that street. I can't say exactly how fast I was going, but it's not what the Life three hundred sixty says. What does it say? ninety? Yeah. I think it was faster. How would she know then? Yeah Also, everything would indicate that she's going fucking fast. Like the way the car crashed like, what do you mean? it's not I don't really have any pictures of Daveon, but I've been texting his family and Dom is honestly affecting me a lot more because I was with him every single day for four years straight. He was my best friend and my soulmate Mackenzie tells Dom's cousin And you're allowed to be mad I get it. I'm mad at myself too Like she's like giving her permission to be mad at her which the cousin states like, yeah, but you could still post Doms go fun me, Daveon's go fun me. I think a lot of people were just uncomfortable with the fact that McKenzie's going around saying, Oh, I'm so remorseful. I' it should have been me. it should have been me. And she's responding to modeling agencies. Doesn't post anything about Dom and Daveyon for a long time, Do doesn't post their gof meies, doesn't post anything to help just like nothing. And then MackKenzie says, I'm not allowed to post anything. My mom is not letting me id didn't the mom respond to the modeling agency There are text messages between Mackenzie and Dom's mom, and Dom's mom is asking her, what made you start speeding MackKenzie just responds, I don't remember the accident. All I remember is turning on the street and then my vision fading to black I wish I could remember it. It would make me feel a little bit better What's the last thing you remember I remember turning onto the street and then my vision fades to black and it really kills me not being able to remember anything. I promise you I would tell you, I've been asking my therapist why I don't remember. And she said it's because of trauma, but I'm going try to get hypnotized and make myself remember Now, I will say that Mackenzie sounds incredibly exhausting to be around for Dom's family while they're going through likely the most tragic moment of their lives that has been caused by Mackenzie. She's busy messaging them. asking for things to help with her own grief. She's explaining to Dom's cousin that Dom's mom isn't ready to see her yet. So McKenzie's like getting impatient. She's telling Dom's cousin like, I don't know why Dom's mom doesn't want to see me. Like she said she's ready, but like She seems like she's getting impatient. She says to Dom's cousin, we talk every single day though. T you about Dom's mom. It makes me feel a little bit better that she doesn't hate me. I don't know, she's kind of short, but she's telling me that she's really sad But she asks how I'm doing and stuff Stumb's cousin is like, yeah, that's understandable. This is so hard. MackKenzie says I've been trying to go to Dom's house because I just want to lay in his bed. As Dom's parents are grieving, she's texting his mom nonstop asking to be allowed into Dom's house to lay on his bed So she say Don's mom doesn't hate her Yeah. Is that true? No. She hates her. Is it just Don's mom trying to get information? Yes. Okay. Don's mom is a criminal defense attorney Yeah, very smart women. Yeah. ye. But I mean, it's Very smart woman, but still beyond expectations for in this moment of grief to try and get things in writing. L she was very strong for that. yeah. She's sending Christine, so that's Dom's mom. She's sending Christine Russo messages like, it's been really rough. I've been crying all day every day. We're gonna get through this together, sending love. Another message from MackKenzie reads, I will always be here for you and when I'm out of the hospital, I can take care of you whenever you need Another message reads When I get out of here, I' want to give you my bracelet that I made for you, but it's okay if you don't wantan to see me, I understand She's just like further victimizing Dom's mom, texting them non stop to get confirmation that the family doesn't hate her. Well news Fash, they probably fucking do, and rightfully so Later, because McKenzie's not getting the responses she wants, she texts A's mom. I just feel like you guys all hate me, crying emoji We don't understand Christine toxtack That's been the hardest part for me too. none of this feels real. When I get out of here, can I just go to Dom's house? I just want to lay in his bed on the floor so I could smell him and maybe take some hoodies home. I also want to see you and give you a hug. I love you guys so much. It's interesting that she's so hell bent on going into Dom's house to lay on his bed. It's such an odd request that nobody believes it August eighteenth, she's texting Dom's mom. Do you have Dom's phone? Really want Dom's playlist and I want to see the pictures he had of us on his phone which feels a little weird Dom's mom responds. We will figure it all out when you're out at the hospital MackKenzie says, I would really like to see you and give you a hug and a bracelet. I brought him flowers for his room and at the memorial. If it's too soon, I totally understand everybody needs to grieve. I met his grave. They let me out of rehab because there's nothing they can really do with me until I can walk again Eventually, Mackenzie is released from the hospital and she lets Dom's mom know, but she's also just like making the entire thing about herself again. Mackenzie texts Dom's mom Hey I'm out of the hospital, but also don't let anyone know Please don't tell people I'm home though, because there's a couple of people that are threatening to hurt me and saying they have plans for me No one's trying to kill you, Mcenzie Dum's mom responds, That's terrible and I'm not talking to anyone. Wh's doing that Mackenzie responds, this kid named Tyler Proctor and a few people I don't even know. They keep messaging me on fake numbers and on Snapchat telling me really fucked up stuff, and it's really making this hard for me because I would never do anything to hurt any of them on purpose, especially Dom Oh and then Remember Blair Remember in part one, Blaire is Dom's best guy friend. And because Blire and Dom were hanging out and Mackenzie was upset, she was like, oh, go take Blair's Priv parts in your butt, like she was just saying some crazy stuff. She was threatening to kill Blair with a baseball bat. She texts Dom's mom Would you be able to send me Blaair's number? I want to send him a video of him and Dom. I feel like it'll make him happy. I also just found a bag of Dom's old clothes from when he was a little bit younger. They all smell like him. And what is the radio station that you guys always used to play when I would be over at your house? It just, I don't know, just feels weird that she wants Blaair's number. Like maybe she wants to make sure that Blaire isn't saying weird things to the police or that I don't know, it's just weird. Like why do you care about Blair you threaten to kill him with a baseball bat She keeps going on and on about going into Tom's house and saying things like, yeah, my purse is over there, but I don't even care to be honest. I just want to go to his house to lay on the floor and take some of the clothes that he loves so that I could wear them Why do you have to mention that you don't care if you don't even care? Exactly. Which by the way She and her parents Both try to ask the police to let MackKenzie into the house. to get her purse. And the cops are like, well the purse your purse was in the car. When the c happened, we already gave that back. And she's like, No not that purse. It's Christian Dior And it's like girl know, it'sHK and also you're weird. they want something else.

MackKenzie asks Dom's mom not to delete anything on Dom's phone and says, Whenever you're ready to see me, I just want to go through his phone and see everything that he has of us Yeah, she brings up going into Dom's house again. She's like, You don't even have to see me. too which Dom's mom has the level of patience I cannot comprehend. She responds, I don't think you understand how incredibly hard this has been on me. I haven't gone in there except to get clothes to bury him in So for months, McKenzie is just exhausting about it. clearly. They don't want you in the house considering the circumstances that I think most people with a functioning brain would probably understand and grasp. E if McKenzie feels herself, this is a medical accident, it is still understandable why Dom's family would not want to be around her Because you knew you had a medical condition. Why were you driving? Why are you always driving while high as per your own social media post if you were diagnosed with POT and you are symptomatic of fainting But MackKenzie messages Dom's mom, I'm really stressed out about people moving my things or making it look different than it was when Dom lived there. My top priority is just being able to go inside of that house and just be there for the day. It hurts that everybody but me is allowed in the house. It already hurts seeing all of his friends there at night spending time with you, but it hurts even worse seeing I'm the only one not allowed in his house that I spent the most time in I need to get in there for multiple things that I have in there. I don't know why I'm not trusted to be in the house I spent ninety percent of my time and slept at every night to which Dom's mom later tells the police, she's begging me to go in the house That's what's even creepier, you know? And the police were like, oh yeah MackKenzie's parents were asking us to go into the house to get MackKenzie's stuff And so Dom's mom is, you know, that's what's even creepier that they're going to call you guys about getting her stuff. She has not once said, you know, she said to me, well, do you think Dom's brother Angelo is going go in there and destroy my things. is what she said. and I said, No, Angela's not going to destroy anything. And I said, I can always get together what you have or something like that. And she goes, Oh, but I want to go in there. She goes, Can't you just sneak me in and not tell anybody and I just want to spend the day there because november fourteenth was our anniversary. and I'm just like You know, yeah, it makes me think what's even in there that she wants so bad Mackenzie is also sending some Wacky text messages like Dom always told me he would want me to be happy even if it wasn't with him Mind you, she' sending this to Dam's mom I can't even imagine, like, I can't imagine I'm not even gonna to go there, but it's just so Uncalled for Like genuinely shocking And she says, That's impossible because I can't be happy without my soulmate Then she goes back to talking about quote, Yeahah, I get har assed literally every single day. Shit sucks. You know, is there any way I can get Dom's phone or just go on it or something? because I need to block people because they're commenting fucked up shit on his TikTok. Dom has videos posted on his TikTok and I commented, I miss you and people are harassing me on there. spepecifically this one girl that has been harassing me our whole relationship and I just want to delete her comment and block her Then she adds pressure to Dom's mom saying things like, I really can't tell if you hate me or not. I feel like if you don't hate me, you would let me come over or be there for you, be there for you Or you would tell everybody that they shouldn't hate me, but I feel like you just don't like me And I wish you would just tell me so I could stop bugging you Stam's mom responds, This is all emotional. I can't tell anyone to do anything. I don't hate you. Gosh. I'm having a tough time with just not having my son. You can't tell them to not bug me, but you could tell them that you don't hate me. and it's hard for me too. I'm always having a tough time He was the love of my life and I spent my last four years every day with him pretty much I'm sorry For this is his mother Oh I know you're like gripping the chair because it's infuriating Dom's mom responds, My family will never be the same. I lost a part of my heart. I'm sorry that people aren't receptive to you, but those boys died at your hands. You have to understand that You think I want things this way? My life is hell and I'm broken Mackenzie says, I did not do this on purpose. If I knew any of this would happen, I would have made sure it was me that died. I would think you understand, but good to know that you think it's all my fault I do understand that nothing is ever going to be the same. We're in the same boat. We both lost extremely important people to us I try so hard to tell you guys that I would never do this on purpose and I thought you would know that feelill I heard It's showing now and she can't even pretend to
