So don't settle for just any insurance when they're state fararm L a good neighbor, State Farm is there B being B b. Welcome back to the second half of part three of Mackenzie Shorilla's case. We've talked about some of the recent interviews Steve Shorilla Mcackenzie's dad has done, which has not really shed better light since the release of the Netflix documentary. It just seems like anytime Steve and Natalie Sharlla open their mouths, nothing necessarily good comes out of it. People are not getting the point that they want people to get and people are getting more frustrated. and it's just leaving everybody at more odds than they were at before. So in this next part, we're gonna go through all of the text messages that we received from the police between McKenzie and her dad, Steve Sharilla all the little conspiracies that people have about them In the police FOIA file, we received this lengthy document. It's the seellbite extract of text messages between McKenzie and her dad. And I will say, the internet has taken some snippets of it and ran with it to very interesting directions and corners of darkness. For example, there's the whole warm milk bit online. I guess people have been pulling messages and Mackenzie seems to ask her dad for quote, warm milk at odd hours of the day or more often odd hours of the night. And there are some notable ones. So for example, I mean, I was going through looking for these warm milk messages because I saw people talking about it online before I even got to it january fourth, twenty twenty, McKenzie texts her data at two forty three AM Middle of the night Can you make me more milk He doesn't respond until one PM the next day. Sorry, just saying this. You still want milk Then two days later, at eleven thirty one PM, Mcenzie texted her d again, Can you make me war milk? He responds, okay. When you come in, be quiet Then later, in march twenty twenty McKenzie text her dad at eleven thirty five PM. Can you rub my feet This seems to like be a thing that she does because months later there are similar messages Could you please come up here and rub my feet? They are in pain and mom will not do a good job. Can you rub my feet Interesting April second, twenty twenty, eleven twelve PM. Mackenzie asks again, willill you make me warm milk He responds the next morning at ten AM. Just saw this, do you still want? No Sorry, my phone was dead. Then may fifth, twenty twenty at midnight Can you make me warm milk Again, may eighth, twenty twenty at three AM Can you make me more milk to which Steve responds, K MackKenzie ased, canan you do it now Then again, may ninth, twenty twenty Can you make melt don't know if it's maybe a lot of people who don't really drink a lot of warm milk O maybe just like a vibe that people are picking up. But comments on TikTok read, Wm milk is not warm milk That comment has almost thirty thousand likes people are debating under that comment section, you know, arguing what they think warm milk means. Some say warm milk helps you come off certain drugs. So like it is warm milk, but the reason she needs it so much is because she's trying to come down from a drug Others say, no, it sounds like a sexual thing Another comment just reads Google Urban Dictionary meaning for warm milk whichich I did, and there is a list of different definitions ranging from the beverage you drink while thinking of excuses to explain why you can't fish because your wife or others won't let you Basically you're a bitch baby. all the way to it's a web comic and all the way to quote Wank off furiously during a bout of insomnia as a way to work up the heart rate and therefore exhaust oneself to sleep. So there are some people on the internet who believe that they think something weird is going on between MackKenzie and her dad. with one comment reading, this feels like a grossly inappropriate relationship Others don't think it's that dark necessarily. They theorize online Wm milk helps you come down from very specific substances. just an FYI, sounds like she was a junkie and her dad was an enabler, so still probably bad Does she ask for anything else? Oh, yeah, I'm gonna get into that. Now one comment with over forty thousand likes reads, childild of addicts here. I was always told Warren Milk helps you come down from drugs. So there is no proof that something strange is happening like some netizens theorize because I kept seeing, I don't know if it was my algorithm, but TikTok was just like something weird's going on between her and her dad. But then I'm reading the messages and I honestly would say that This is my feeling, I wouldn't be surprised if Mcenzie is literally just asking for warm milk, like a literal glass of warm milk. And maybe it's weird to some people because I wouldn't wake my dad up at three in the morning to ask for a favor. But that sounds just about exactly what Mcenzie would do. But like I said, I don't know if I would be surprised if she's just I wouldn't be surprised at anything at this point could see her just using him as a butler. She asks him to make her hot cocoa, bring her tanning oil, buy her spray paint, make her stencils out of cardboard. She also asks him to edit her photos texting him, Did you fix the pick? I need you to fix it ASAP. I'm trying to post crazy. Yeah. She's photoshop. Yeah, she sends more pictures and she's like, make those lighter. She ased him to make her pants and again, more milk. she'll text him at night around eleven PM. Milk, question mark, question mark. He doesn't respond. Okay or not Then more messages, willill you make me wear milk, please No response. Mackenzie text back. Are you home? Can you please try to book me a massage sooner than seven? I have a birthday party that I have to leave for at like six. Mom is telling me to book it when first of all, I never even talk to adults and I don't have no money and I don't drive Then later messages show Mackenzie complaining about said warm milk and she says milk is cold AF. I'm going to drink it, but it's not warm Steve responds, Bring it down. It's just interesting. I can't imagine critiquing my parents about how they warm up milk. I wouldn't even give a Michelin star chef those notes if I'm paying for an expensive cup of milk. It's just like a lot. It's very harsh So that's apparently her dynamic with her parents. One DM between Natalie and Mackenzie, Natalie says, Are you good with the D? or do you want to complete those final assignments? If my mom ever came up to me, as a minor and said, are you good with getting a D in this class? or are you going to finish those assignments? Guess what that means That means I'm finishing those assignments tonight, even if I'm falling asleep at my desk because that was her way of saying, you're finishing those fucking assignments, okay She's asking her about her grs. Mackenzie responds, Dude, I don't care about a D What is happening? So the mom is asking if she would like to finish assignment. Yes, so she's genuinely asking like, hey are you gonna have? Yeah. But like I guess I'm thinking like if I genuinely like, are you okay with a D? Like Yeah that's the question. I guess so. But like are you good with that? Usually when parents ask that, it's more so you're gonna finish the fucking assignments, right But then she responds, dude, I don't care about a D. And now this is why I'm expecting Natalie to pull a mom and being like, hey, you might not care, but guess who cares? The car you're never gonna drive, the outside world that you're never gonna see because you're gonna be grounded, like something like that. I'mpecting Natalie responds, unless you wanna fix it. That's what I thought. A D is passing, so it's all good Hell That is insane response. Yeah, yeah.e I was reading that and I was like, am I reading the right person? And I'm like, no, this is Natalie Sarilla's Instagram Demning her And their Instagram dMing? Yeah Holy, this is crazy. I feel like Natalie just tries really hard to be McKenzie's friend. MackKenzie will even tell Natalie about her night out with friends and she'll say things like quote, they knew my ID was fake. They told me. We did leave. and then we went to Grace's. Natalie responds, I'm glad you went out and had a good time Holy, this is I feel like, okay, I understand that when you're raising kids, maybe there comes a point where you know that your kids snuck out, maybe, or you know that your kid did something, but like maybe you don't confront them. becausecause maybe you let it pass for like whatever parenting reason you decide, okay? But the fact that the kid is telling you and then you're like, well, I'm glad you had is like not in a world that I can imagine. No, this is like they flip the parenting dynamic around. Yeah It's almost like Mcenzie is the parent This is so weird Like what is going on here? This's what I'm saying. Her parents seem much, much, much, much, much less strict than my parents ever were. And I feel like my parents were pretty open minded raising us. like it's just I feel like my parents are stricter on me now as a full blown adult than McKenzie's parents were at her age at seventeen In one text thread, Mackenzie is texting your. She was fifteen. She was like twenty twenty. Yeah. ye I feel like my parents expect more from me now as a full blown adult. Yeah And so there's another point where Mcenzie is texting Dom about alcohol. and she says, how are we going to get alcohol? My dad said, makeake it with vodka So she's like getting advice from her dad. and Dom is like, just ask your mom to go buy some. Later, Mackenzie says, Okaykay well I'm waiting for my dad, so give me the money so we can go and I'll get the jello and everything. You can help me make the margaritas for the pre game I mean, the implication there is like, I don't know, you draw the implication you want, right? But Dom sends a list of things that he needs and there's Casamigo silver on there, which is alcohol. MackKenzie later confirms that her dad got the orange liquor which is alcohol. And when they get back, I guess the party is being hosted at Mackenzie's parent's house and she says, Well, my dad is power washing the deck for us. So if this if I'm getting out of this is is he buying them alcohol and also cleaning up for their party that they're hosting at their house? Like is that what we are to assume from this? 'cause that's crazy. Later in other messages, MackKenzie mentions to Dom that she's going to go to the dispensary with her dad MackKenzie text Dom, this is back in February of twenty twenty. My dad asked if I know someone who has hella female weed seeds. I'll pay you should give him some That is insane. So there' not only he the parents not only by her alcohol He's buying her weed at fifteen. Well, I don't know if he's buying it for her or for himself, right? Or MackKenzie could be making this up, right? But there's text messages between her and her dad where MackKenzie asks her dad, Steve, You want weed peanut butter? He responds, no, LOL. I don't like to eat my weed I'm going to give you a little Are you making me milk Are you home Then are you okay Yes, I'm okay. I feel like I have a cold. Okay, to be honest, you need weed. I'm worried. LOL, don't be worried. I actually feel good. justust got irritated that I got it and have to quarantine for ten days. They're talking about COVID. Yeah, that's gayAF. COVID some BS. You shouldn't have taken the test. You should have taken the COVID test? Yeah, so there's this is like a reoccurring trend throughout MackKenzie' text messages with other people. She talks about how she can buy negative tests. tests that show a negative . Oh wait, I'm so lost. So like, becauseuse you know it was like mandatory quarantining. Oh, so as long as you show negative, you can just be out and about. Yeah with COVID. Yeahes so that she's like I see. she was like messaging other people of like how to get negative tests Wh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.. Steve later says in an interview that he picked his battles as a parent and he let Mackenzie smoke weed. I'm sorry if I find marijuana not that dangerous as I find alcohol or cocaine or whatever, you know, My daughter beyond wh everybody else seems to think or wants to interpret or gleam She seemed Mature enough to handle it. I didn't see it as an issue. I feel like they have a lot of issues, but that's my opinion. According to text messages, it seems that at some point, MackKenzie's dad puts like a bumper sticker on her car I imagine and this is like imagination. It's probably some sort of like student driver bumper sticker because she recently learned how to drive, right? And she texts him, never fucking put that on my car again. Now I'm going to be late to school because I had to turn around and go take that shit off He responds L o L It's seriously not funny. Like I will seriously flip the fuck out Don't talk to me like that, LOL. I'm gonna talk to you however I want until that bumper sticker stops showing up on my car No LOL. Because now I'm late somewhere that my hours matter. Okay, then call Polaris and get my hours back blocked just happen? So she's saying like call my school and get my hours back because she's like, I'm late for school now because of you and I can't get my hours back. Don't put that bumper sticker on my car. And then she' says blocked as then like she's gonna to block him, but she doesn't Thanks for the laugh, LOL. Giggle The father says thanks for the laugh I just can't imagine talking to my dad like that, and then I can't imagine my dad responding to me like that when I do talk to him like that. Their interactions are alarming. Mackenzie will text her dad in the midst of a fight with her mom. tellell mom to answer my texts right now, right now. do it. Qestion Mike, exclamation, exclamation, exclamation, exclamation. Are you just not gonna help Sorry, not getting involved. I'm just going to get mad Thanks for making this the worst birthday I ever had She texts her dad, never drive my car again without putting gas in it. Like what the fuck? How are you going drive someone's car then not put a single set of gas in it? And then it's literally below the line. It was not below the line when I gave you my car Steve responds first, I took your car to get serviced, which I paid for and had to waste an hour of my time waiting for it and cleaned some of the inside because the person that drives it is a slob and doesn't keep it clean. Then when I returned your car to the driveway, I noticed the gas was on empty so I left you a note told you when you came home and told your mother to tell you, so be more respectful and responsible. You owe me seventy four dollars for the service and twenty five dollars for the hour I had to sit there wasting my time for my disrespectful daughter Here's the thing with Steve and this is just like my context that I got from the text messages Okay, when I watched the Netflix documentary, I walked away with the feeling that Steve and Natalie never yell at their daughter and just go, oh, baby, baby it's okay. It's okay, baby Anything for you, baby, right? That's what I walked away with. But then when I was reading these text messages, I noticed that Steve does yell at his daughter. and I think that's where he thinks he's disciplining his daughter Right? But then like it never really amounts my takeaway though. Yes, I know these texts. Exactly. But that's not what happens because I'll see him like yelling at his daughter, right? And then the next day, it'll be like, have fun, H fun tonight, like text me if you need me. And it's like, oh, if my child ever spoke to me like that, I don't think they're going out the next day. Yeah. I don't think they're going out for a long time. You know whatever you just said Yes, the Steve just texts her What does she respond with? Like nothing. She just ignores him. Yeah, ye. Clearly there's nothing going on. There's no discipline, there's nothing, no consequences. Nothing. Nothing is being done. Yeah. in our opinions, yeah. What the fuck?

She doesn't apologize, but later she gets upset when a school project doesn't end up working out. She rants to her dad, You better fix what you ruined or I will fail Polaris. schoolool So dot d dot. Are you trying to say you're slow saying when you speak to me with disrespect, I don't care if you fail McKenzie responds, Let me know when it's fixed. Question mark Do you know how to use a music doll No response. goodood to know to never ask you to do anything again. You just fucked up my home mning. How about you tell people your plan instead of just fucking not going They literally text like Yes, That's what'm say. I don't talk to my friends like that. Yeah. Is there any moment that they are acting like a parent that's actually a regular freaking parent? No, I mean, the only moments I saw are when he's like, you do not speak to me with disrespect, right? Those are again. But like nothing comes of it. Exactly.. E the friend could talk to a friend like Yeah, you don't talk to me like that But that's it, That's all I can find Wow, these are Yeah, No, I was actually like I ft like my blood pressure was going up reading these text messages. I was getting like I was huffing and puffing. it was so stressful. Then a few days later, she texts him, Can you please go get us white claws or some shit? White claws or alcohol Can you please go get us whiteclothes or somept shit from the gas station or mices, something like that I am in bed, I have to get up early and it's Sunday Can you bring us some, please? We need some, even the ones in the garage fridge then come get it There are people here OMG. And then he responds, Mom will drop off in a bit. And she says, Bet. And he's like, oh, I guess this is the only time he's like a parent. He's like Bet as in better. And she says, B as in good. Yeah crazy. What kind of teacher is he A te teacher Yeah middle school, high school. It's a Catholic school. N sure. ye Then there's this whole Starbucks debacle. She ased him to go get her Starbucks. And he says, what do you want? But I have to go out, it might be in a bit. So he's like telling her, it's going to be in a little lighter smallmaller medium iced white mocha sweet cream, foam, and extra extra caramel sauce in a chocolate croissant How long Dad, wararmed Crissant. What the fuck? Why would you not get my food first? Like question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark. I would go if I didn't feel like shit. He responds, I'll let you know when I get there, please relax. Like what the fuck? I told Dom No because I thought you would actually go unreliable AF I was on my way out, on my way back, I will stop. I will. Stop making me stop what I'm doing What the fuck? Maybe next time just let me know you're gonna take five hours and I'll just have Dom do it because he's actually gonna go get it. Like do I have to have momom go? Oh my go, question mark, question mark, question mark. Where are you? What the fuck? Like please never tell me you can do something if this is how it's going to be. Oh my god. Yeahah, I'm never gonna ask you to do anything for me again. Goddamn, why can't you do it, right? I swear to God if I don't get my chocolate croissant because they sold out I' Flip out What do you want? I'm here? Is this the same tone that she kind of talks to Dom? Yes It's like very threatening. like I'm gonna flip out. If I don't get what I want, I'm about to blow shit up. like that's the vibe. So is this for me to assume that the reason why she talks this way acts this way It's because the parents Yeah let her talk to them this way. Yeah. That's why she talks to Dom this way. That's what I think too. because I think I feel like the correlation is very clear. Yeah. Yeah. Who started this, right? Yeah Yeah The fact that she talks to them like this is crazy. Yeah. And so he doesn't even respond to that craziness. He just says, what do you want? I'm here? The fact that he still went to Starbucks is crazy too. Okaykay? And then she responds, I texted you and Danny, Danny's her sister I texted you and Danny what I want. Reinda Sherilla has a sister.' a sister. Yeah, and Dom's mom says like, it's very clear there's favoritism in that family Favoritism to Mcenzie. How old? older younger? I think younger No maybe older. I just know that Danny is like Mackenzie is very sociable, considered mean girl popular by some people. skkinny, gets followers on Instagram conventionally may be attractive And her sister is Maybe not considered those things. What do we know about that? Is it just from Dom's mother, you said? Dom's mother, some small comments made by other people, the fact that the Serillas never really talk about their other daughter. and then I'm like the jail calls. So Natalie will be on the phone with Mackenzie, who's in prison And you just hear Natalie like fucking screaming at Danny all the time. Screaming at the sister. Yeah. The sister is also on the phone. Yeah No.. Like she'll be talking to MackKenzie, like d d. Danny get down here Hey Daddy, what did I say Really? Yeah, and I'm like, Ohh damn, you should be screaming at Mcenzie like that. She's the one in prison for murder. B Yeah, fascinating. But I guess you could argue well, she's talking to Mackenzie in a softer tone because she feels like her daughter needs more emotional support and she's calling from jit, whatever. But it's still weird. It's still weird. So these are just like speculations, okay? Yeah, she just responds. Just hurry for real. It's already late AF. I shouldn't even be drinking coffee this late, but I guess I have to. Next time, tell me you can't go if you don't want a dumb AF Did you just call me dumb? Because this shit storm is coming for you, I'd go hide MackKenzie responds, Are you threatening me for no reason when I'm sick with COVID? So loving And then like nothing comes out of that either. A few weeks later, Mackenzie is looking for a bag of soil and asks Steve, where is it? He texts her, I don't know, maybe in the garage, As Mom. She texts, She's being dumb as fuck. That's why I'm asking you, Wh in the garage Maybe I don't know if I hadd to guess I probably it's probably buried somewhere. Okaykay, go buy some When are youre going to be back because my my plant is going to die. She's just calling her mom dumb as fuck to her dad. and her dad doesn't correct her There's a lot of fights about the car. She texts him, You are never driving my fucking car again disgusting. Don't fucking eat fast food in my car, then leave the trash in my car disgusting. Also maybe try putting it back the way it was when you left it. Don't take my steering wheel off if you're not gonna put it back on. I don't think that he took the steering wheel off. I think he took the pink fuzzy thing off, you know She text again. You're done. She's texting her dad. you're done Steve tries to tell Mackenzie that this is technically his car that he pays for and he lets her drive and he demands that she speak to him with respect. She argues, If you want to be treated with respect, how about you give it to other people This is like a huge thing. to MackKenzie, it feels like people are only disrespectful when she doesn't like what they do Like in her English peieace sized brain, she's never disrespectful. She texts her dad, Have fun in your closet when you get home, your trash is in there So I think the whole fight is like he probably ate something, left the fast food bag in the car. She put it in his closet He responds, if I was you, I'd think twice before you pissed me off and then you won't have a car period. So text me again with your BS and think twice She says, I tell you a million times to not disrespect my car and take my steering wheel off and leave trash, especially eat fast food in my car, but you never listen. I'm just telling you that you're being disrespectful When you start making car payments and insurance payments, until then, keep your disrespectful tone and words to yourself The next day, there's text messages between Mackenzie and her dad where he tells her, Be careful, have fun. And like this is again where I lose my mind. Like if I talk to my dad like that, I'm not having fun for a long time especially not the next business day Other times she's texting him like a stopping loudaF What I can hear you from all the way up here Stopping so oversensitive, AF, and I'm not being loud. This is her dad texting her. That's not oversensitive. I'm trying to sleep and you're stomping around blowing your nose seventy nine times, stopping a woman hater Stop being disrespectful to your father In some text messages, it doesn't even seem like Steve is trying to discipline her. It just seems like he's trying to appease her, writing things like, Am I unblocked? Sorry you didn't have a good time last night. Really, no matter what Kens, I love you and only want the best for you Later in an interview, he says, I was on my daughter all the time. I punished her all the time Okay, it's not it's not of me going, okay, just go, hey, go have a whole time. Go smoke dope, haveave fun., drive your car really fast. I mean, I don't see it in the seellbright messages, but like maybe you can point us elsewhere, Steve, like maybe you can show us. A, he said I'm sorry, you didn't have a good time Have a good day Have a good, happppy fun. Be have fun. be safe. Yeah Here's some White cllaw. Yeah. I'm at Starbucks, what do you want Apparently there's this one time where McKenzie and Dom are going to Florida, and McKenzie's mom allegedly was going to go to Florida just to make sure that they can check into their place because you might have to be twenty one to check into whatever accommodation they're staying at. So she was just gonna to go to Florida, check in with them and leave, which is fucking insane. This is coming from Dom's mom. Dom's mom says, She is their golden child They treat the other sister like a piece of crap. She's the pretty one, she's the smart one, She's the you know, the other one's got problems. and they do they just everything. It doesn't how outrageous. One former friend of MackKenzie says about her parents, they just spoiled her. so they just kind of let her do whatever. Obviously at the time, she should not have been really just doing whatever she wanted. She just always did what she wanted She talks to everyone else she wanted. You know, we were swimming over at the falls, and you're not supposed to be swimming over there I'm assuming this is some sort of like waterfall or something, right Cus came And she was just sitting there being disrespectful the whole time, just like on her phone And we're like Kenzie, Bre, like we're not supposed to be even here swimming. like why are you being disrespectful towards them? Like do you want us to get a ticket? Like what is wrong with you? Why are you just always like this Everybody you know authority, that's not the way you're supposed to. And the first time when she came over to my house, she was cursing in front of my parents, which made my parents not really like her and stuff Mind you, there are high schoolers. I mean, even as adults, like I find it a little u when I hear someone cursing in front of my parents, especially if it's the first time they've met. Obviously now that we're all comfortable, it's different. The prosecutor says her parents would offer excuses for her behavior, and typically, Mackenzie would walk away from those negative interactions at school with more freedom less consequences and our actions being completely excused away Steve says in the Quiz Cuomo interview about people judging him and his parenting. Let's talk about people first of all. If you don't know me and you're not in my life, and how do you say anything about me? How are you judging me without knowing me Was I lenient on some things? Yes. Was I harder on some things? Yes I was I was raising my kid how I felt best at the time that I made decisions. I'm not a bad parent. I made I I picked fights that I that I would too that I felt would help her and I picked fights that I didn't want to fight with her and I let her go and I made her make her make her own decisions. and you know, You know, she's she was almost an adult, you know, she's It's laughable that the people thinkink what they think about us and And if you're not and I look at it this way, if you're not in my boat It really doesn't matter what you think as the people. I mean, Anyone that doesn't know me, anyone that doesn't know me should keep their mouth shut personally. He's asked by Chris Cuomo, Do you blame yourself for your daughter's behavior blameself. C I have been a Can I have Could I have advised her better? Sure Do I think it would have made any difference? I don't know Again, I don't have I I'm sorry, makes me I don't have a problem with the marijuana use. I just I'm sorry. I just don't. It was It's a battle that I would never win. How am I stopping her? Was I gonna lock her in her room and never let her out of the room? Was I supposed to go with her everywhere she goes? Could I took the car away? Could I there's just so many factors that had nothing to do with it. just I mean, I don't know. I feel like it has a lot to do with it, but And like, okay, watching the Netflix documentary, again, I was under the impression like, maybe, maybe she's like playing chess with her family and with her parents. She acts like this goody two shoes in front of them and then she's like living this second life outside where she's posting all these pictures. I mean, that seems more Cing than not with social media these days. But no, like just she's kind of a bitch. L even in text messages between Mackenzie and Dom, she gets upset that Dom is on her parents' side instead of hers. This is from MackKenzie's birthday the year before the crash. She says this is the worst birthday ever. and that I would like to think now it's not the worst birthday ever now that she's in prison. But anyway Dom is on MackKenzies parents during a fight, and he tries to explain to her, I'm not on any side there. You know, like there's no sides She disagrees. Clearly there's my side and my parents' side. Like literally, this is the worst birthday dinner I've ever had. No one meant it for it to be like this, Babe. I wish it wasn't. Then why did you argue with me the whole dinner? Like you could have just made things so much smoother. Do you know my dress has a stain on it This is literally the worst. The stain on the dress part kind of threw me off, but it just feels like the smallest things set her off. For example, Dom is looking for a spare key somewhere and Mackenzie is telling him that she honestly hasn't seen it. And then he finds it rather quickly, right under the bed. And he lets her know, and she responds, o damn And he says, you could have looked too which Mcenzie says, you're really getting the attitude. I love how you always just try to cause a little argument. like how you like how about you just leave me alone if you want to try and cause an argument like the fuck Okay, I'm more just fucking with you because I know you didn't look for them, but cool, get mad, LOL. Talk to me when you're a little bit more mentally stable. Thanks bye You know what? I'm not even gonna entertain that comment. Actually, what do you mean mentally stable I mean, no normal person just tries to start an argument out of that, so I assume you're not mentally stable right now Ion't say that it's always MackKenzie starting arguments, but she does seem hypersensitive to things, lots of things or like everything. She also just like hates the heat. She complains to Dom. My room is literally hotest shit and my mom will not fix it. So I don't want to be sweating and tweaking all night. Like she literally will not turn down the air conditioning. She said she turned it on and it was literally on sevententy, so I turned it down to like sixty two, like what the fuck Why is it so fucking hard for her to turn the AC on? Like I can't even touch my skin because I sweat instantly. Her slow ass turned it off. AC's on seventy? Yeah Like she's saying it's so Yeah But also like the power bill. She also complains to Dom that her parents keep trying to get her to watch family videos with them. And she tells Dom, I really hope my parents get the mental help they need someday. Like if I don't want to watch the family videos yesterday, why would I want to watch them tonight? She later complains, I love you too. My house is literally freezing. Like I don't know what the fuck is wrong with everyone in this house. I just asked my mom, whyy is it ever comfortable in this house? My room is literally like the Arctic or fucking one hundred She also complains to Dom in depth about how much she hates her family, texting, I'm hungry, but I don't want to go downstairs because my family sucks. In another text thread, she complains, Well, I was trying to fucking take a nap, but my dad had to go downstairs and turn the TV up to eight hundred. so now I'm fucking awake. I fucking hate this house. I'm pissed. Of course my dad mine too weak to turn down the TV What do you mean He's too stupid, like weak minded bumping right now. So he just left it super loud? MackKenzie says, I guess there's retaliation that she left her speaker volume all the way up Dom is still confused about the TV asking if it's really that loud. He's like, it was that loud to wake you up. Bro, it was on like seventy. Later, she complains to Dom through texts. My mom just ruined the vacation What happened? One, were they going be fucked like the whole time. She dead ask asked me if I wanted to go to Lake Michigan or Pennsylvania which she spells P E N S I V A I N Y A. I don't even know what that is, okay? And she says, whyy the fuck would I want to go there? Both shit holes Dom's like, why can't we just cancel and go another time? So all of them' gonna to go like the Chabillas we're gonna go on this huge family vacation for Mackenzie's birthday which is like kind of crazy for a birthday, right? And then Dom is going to join But then they found out that in Florida, there's like hurricane season. Oh God. God forbid, people are losing their homes and their lives, okay? becausecause it's a hurricane season. But she's like, now my vacation is fucked, right So then my mom is suggesting Lake Michigan or whatever state that she spells that I think is supposed to be Pennsylvania And she's like, whyy the fuck would I want to go there? And then so he's like, okay, well, why can't we just cancel and go another time then when the fullet weather is better in Florida And she says, cancel my birthday vacation. I am going on vacation for my birthday and I'm leaving for it today and it's going to be somewhere fucking hot. I'm not going to Florida, if it's going to rain the whole time, I'm so mad. If a vacay, not planned by tonight, I'm for real done with this whole family They really just gave me the worst birthday I've ever had. This is crazy. This is like unreal. You can't make this up in a movie. If they were in a movie, I'd say, who acts like that? That's so dumb. Babe they can't predict the weather a month away. and it's going to be nearly impossible to book a VK in a night. Buy a ticket to Cali for me and you right now. I have like hundred dollars He doesn't respond Dom, do it right now. book a flight somewhere. My mom said she's not booking a new one Mbe a flight to Cali for both of us will be like e thousandven hundred dollars Okay pllus Ubers and stuff, we might as well go to universal or just plan it another day because I don't know if we can even stay with Kyle right now So he's saying like they have a friend in California, but like they don't know if they can say there. But even on top of that, Uber's food, all of that Okay, don't come on vacation then. fun Dom tries to reason with her that there's not going to be a lot of options in this type of short notice. He says it seems like everywhere on the East Coast is going to rain. She responds, Wow, I didn't know nobody knew that there was more than one coast Wow, was that supposed to be a smart ass joke? Okay, I just won't help then You weren't helping at all. You never started helping I was just talking to your mom trying to figure out what we can do. Of course you were talking to that crazy bitch. She won't do shit to help That's how I know you weren't helping at all. the fact that you were texting her She's the one booking it, except she's not, and she's just sitting in her fucking room Dom tries to get her to be open to Michigan Northern Michigan is actually super, super nice in the summer. Do not text me. Why the fuck would I go to some shitty ass Michigan? Literally never say that shit to me again with the fuck, with the fuck And again, it doesn't seem like there's a plan, but Mcenzie is still sending pictures of swimsuits asking which one she should bring. And I'm like, I thought you're not going on Vay. Okaykay? mind you. She's like pissed because there's a hurricane. And then you know, text messages from her dad read, You need to work with us and going to the West Coast is out of the question. We do not have the time or the money to get there. We would get there and then have to turn around and leave which MackKenzie respondse her dot Steve. There's a lot more places in between we could go to I'm never going to forget this They do end up going on this cursse birthday trip at this point. and it goes as well as you can imagine, okay? They do make it to Florida. It's not a hunky Dory time. Based off context clues in the text, it seems like Mcenzie and her parents get into a fight. McKenzie is upset that Dom isn't backing her up. She texts him. You're supposed to be on my side the fuck. Like what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you have issues Dom is confused, he has no clue what's going on, and he tells her, I didn't know you were mad You know, you're part of the reason why my birthday sucks Are you slow? Literally do not talk to me LMAO I didn't know someone interrupting you made you that mad. That's my bad. but you did threaten to stab me in the eye care. Happy you ruin this trip. Thanks so much for making me feel special, like y'all suck for real Thom argues back. You're mean to me. Yeah, when you sway at me and threaten me, That's mean They eventually try to reach a compromise with Dom threatening to leave to Palomay. Like Dom is like, if you're going to keep mean to me, I'm going to go to my friend in Pombeay. And he says, just don't threaten to kill me, otherwise I'll probably dip to Pom Bay LMAO. Okaykay then. So you just out here complaining, LOL. get the fuck out then. G to Pom Bay, the fuck, then go. If you threaten me, I will. It's not normal to threaten people Dom tells MackKenzie, I'm done with this conversation. You have only been mean to me and have tried to hurt my feelings. I wasn't mean to you. I was mean after you didn't have my back. How are you not getting this You threatened to stab me in the eye After you didn't have my back, are you slow? And this is like call in caps. That's why I'm emphasizing certain words Later MackKenzie decides she's not mad at Dom, but rather it's her dad. She texts him, babe, I just want to go home. I hate everyone. Like I've just been fucking here. likeike he picks fucking fights with me any chance he can get. how the fuck am I supposed to be want to be nice after he just said all that to me? Like he's been a dick to me the whole time, the whole time Dom says been wrong, you kind of dog him. How did I dog him? Calling him five, didn't know that was offensive You said something like, shhut up. I'm having a conversation with Danny Bab, you're both throwing gasoline in each other's fires. I've been saying I'm having a terrible vacate and they just don't care They've had a terrible one too, babe. I'm trying to make the best of this and everyone keeps ruining it. It's literally them though You got your whole family here and they all care. You can't throw it away. No, Dom, I hate them all. No, you don't, babe, you're just mad No, I really do. Like I love them, but I'm getting the fuck away and I never want to be around them like ever for real, I'm about to leave I'm done with this VK. likeike fuck this, fuck this The stK is fucking ruined Also the fact that she still keeps calling it a VK was irking me Dom tries to reason with MackKenzie about her dad. Baby you love him, you appreciate him for what he does. He does nothing He could be way worse, Babe. He does a lot. He has a lot of pressure. Elevail, pressure for what That's probably why he lashes out. I hate men Baby you willll never understand what it's like to be your dad. Give him a break Like the fact that Dom stood up for Steve more than Mackenzie ever did and Steve is out here saying like his daughter is a perfect angel is crazy to me. The whole vacation seems to go wrong, and I think that's just kind of who Mackenzie is. You know those people where everything around them goes wrong, and like sometimes that does happen to really good people and like you feel lots of sympathy. But then there are a lot of people where it's like you look at it and you say, oh, well, everything goes wrong not because you're unlucky, but because you make everything go wrong. Like Of course, you're having a miserable time when you're the one making everything miserable. Like that's the type of person Mcenzie strikes me as For example, Dom has a bathroom malfunction at some point because the toilet malfunctions and Mackenzie is just pissed off that he's taking so long in the bathroom. evenven though he's explaining to her the situation why it's taking him a second to clean himself up. And she says, ruining my fucking vacation. There's toilet paper. Not sure if you know that, use fucking toilet paper. Why am I telling you how to wipe like a fucking four year old Kenzie, I have fucking toilet water on my privates. So he said like the toilet flushed. randomly and it like splashed everywhere Go without me, Leave like they're at a restaurant at Universal. Go leave, like I don't care. I'm gonna call the cops so they can help you. I'm so mad at you. L you really did this. Hell no. what the fuck? Like now everyone's just waiting. No one's leaving. Like we are literally waiting for you and this is all in caps. They won't go without you. What the fuck is wrong with you? Literally acting like a baby. Do I need to come in and wipe your ass? Check the timestamps. On nine minutes has passed. So I don't know what her issue is like holy cow, you need to get a grip. I'm getting stressed out. She's texting. Answer right now, do I need to come and wipe your ass or we will have an issue. Get the fuck off, Dom. get the fuck off. Literally a child. Oh my God. Oh my god, the fuck. We about to have some issue. Oh my god Oh my god But then things are fine later because he asks where she's at, and she responds, Harry Potter, I'm in line for butterbeer The producers of Netflix ask Mcenzie in her jailhouse interview Did you ever feel in your arguments with Dom rage that you couldn't control? No It was never like that It was always just more like I was, you know, when we'd argue, I would get sad because he didn't really have good communication skills. And we'd be cool after that day or a couple hours later. We'd be watching movies on the couch eating popcorn. She would just gets sad. She would just get sad. I'm so confused. One mutual friend says, Dom and Kenzie's relationship, they were just always arguing. That's how it was And me and another friend were always talking about it. We're like, Broom Like you he has so much going for himself. why doesn't he stick up to Kenzie He can do so much better Dom shares this story of a trip that she took with Dom and Kemzy. Dom D is telling someone No, Dom's mom is telling the police. So it was gonna be, you know, the whole family, Dom's family. She's like, I took off work, We're all gonna go canoeing. So I packed snacks for the canoeing, the cooler and all of that. So we had a bag that had chips and you know, the sort of things that was like super you didn't like want to put it in stuff because they would get crushed Usually on a road trip you save them for last, like the chip bag and then it goes in the backseat, whatever. Well, we forgot She ruined the entire canoe trip. She sat there and threw a fit that we had forgotten those chips that she had nothing to eat. and I kept saying, we're enjoying our day. There's no fighting. We're gonna find you something to eat. We even stopped at this bar. She was not satisfied with anything. like nothing, it did not matter what I had. She did not have those chips. So it was like she's explaining like how they went on this whole almost like goose chase to find her something that she was be enough eating And Dawn was just stressed about it the whole time because she was so pissed about those chips. And she was very crafty on how she would do stuff because she would stick her digs. You know, me and Angelo were in a canoe, they're there. She would stick her digs in her comments so that we couldn't hear. But it was a big tantrum. I mean, everything was a dig. you forgot the chips, you forgot, okay, I get it. Do you know what I mean? But it's not enough to have a tantrum and ruin the day Dom's brother Angelo later tells the police that Mackenzie would go through self esteem issues, and Dom would want to break up with her Because she would quote, she'd get crazy about stuff, accuse him of cheating and stuff when he's not, you know what I mean? Like stuff like that. Not constant, but there'd be every couple of weeks or so where they were almost breaking up and then she'd be threatening to hurt herself Stuff would arise and it would really never, it just wouldn't take a healthy course to be honest with you The officer is like, what do you mean Should we go crazy? Like what's crazy There are times where she called Dom and said, If you break up with me, I'm going to kill myself. Wd for word And then Dom, he was like a very, very selflish person and he did. I mean, obviously, they were together for a long time And they built a relationship, they cared for each other deeply Even though Dom did care for her deeply, I'm not disputing any of that, but he's seen all the toxicness that she was putting ono him So he's saying like Dom would try to tell Mackenzie that he would be there for her after their breakup It's like you don't have to anything drastic. likeike he's going to be there, but he just can't be in this relationship anymore. And Mcenzie would just keep coming back, quote, I'll kill myself esssentially is what Angelo is alleging. Angelo says that he actually was very close with Mackenzie in the very beginning of Mackenzie and Dom's relationship to the point where she would go to Angelo to get comfort whenever Dom and her would fight. But Angelo says that he started distancing himself because quote I just seed that she was very, very selfish. He says he couldn't deal with it anymore, so he blocked her number Like that's how bad it got. Like he had to go and block her number because she would blow up his phone nonstop when she couldn't get in contact with Dom. He'd be in the car with Dom and Dom is driving so he doesn't pick up his phone and they're just going to go get like food and she's just blowing up both their phones Dom's brothers says he witness fights and he feels like, quote, honestly, he'll be like so nice. Dom will be so nice and accommodating as possible to stop the fight and she'd be one of those people that is just petty, like petty petty, petty petty. And again, normally, I would take anything that One party's sibling says about a relationship with a grain of salt, but then like I did see all those text messages And I'm like, this seems like more or less at least accurate in my opinion about his characterization And then she'll be, you know, in between fights, teext Dom's brother Like in between fights, she'll be like, Hey, can you do my homework for me? I don't want to do my math homewk Why would I Why would I She really lives in the universe that everyone just evolves around her. Yeah.

They pick her up. Dom's brother is like I mean, by the way, these fights are always started by Kenzie and then, you know, they ask her to leave And then the parents have to come, pick her up. someomehow she'll make it back and she'll be pounding on the windows, demanding to be let back in He says that her behavior started escalating as she got older. He says, quote, too me, it almost just got more drastic because when she was younger, ninth or tenth grade, she would just go home when they were fighting or whatever and then be texting him like, Oh, I'm going gonna hurt myself, blah blah And then he's like, okay, please don't, we can work this out or whatever. But then when it came to the point where she's sixteen, she's driving now, she's seventeen, she's even older. She's driving back over. She's banging on the windows, herer behavior became more erratic, mayaybe also because she had more ways to let it out and to show that I think that's exactly what's going on. Maybe the parents talk to her this way ever since she was little and maybe the parents just chop it up as that's just how what she says. She doesn't do anything. She doesn't like punch me. So like maybe I don't know. Sounds like the dad even thinks it's cute to talk like that. Like texting like slow AF. like I don't know. how could you possibly to your k like this. You just unlocked something in my brain. Okaykay. so one thing I did notice in all the jail calls, right is Mackenzie, every time she sneezes, she like she does have like a like soft sneeze. It's like, at you, at you, right almost like every single time without fail, Natalie we'll just be like, oh, that's so cute Which I don't know why. L I didn't really care for it, but that just like reminded me of it. It's just so random. Yeah. Like the way she's talking to her, I mean, she' she's a convicted murderer. Yeah, right? She sneezes the momong goes, That's so cute. Yeah There's nothing cute About this whole situation, You're on a recorded line. Yeah from Securus, the jail line. L is that her default? Like she's just always like, That's so cute. Yeah. Ething is like very Mackenzie will be talking about how she ate ramen because she doesn't like the prison food. And then, you know, the mom will be like, well, is it better than last time And she said, ye, I made it in the shower. they said, Oh, that's good. That's good Everything is, o, that's good, that's good And I'm like, Hey, so nothing about this situation is fucking good But Angelo does tell investigators, quote, there was multiple times even in the month of July that he was trying to break up with her. A couple days before the crash, she was hitting him on the highway while driving down the highway. He had to pull his car over on the side of the highway, not in a very safe parking spot either and have somebody else come pick them up and drive the car home because he was scared that she was going to make him crash And that was just prior to the day before the actual crash where she was driving Prior to the day before the crash? Yeah. so it's just he's saying like it was very recent to the crash I think it's pretty clear the relationship between Mackenzie and Dom is not good. It's always been rough. I mean, going through all their fights, it seems like in the very beginning, the biggest issue was that Dom didn't feel like he had enough space in the relationship. He would complain that he just couldn't even breathe for an hour, which I can see. And I know like some people saw the beginning parts of their text messages and felt like Dom was the mean one And this was her reacting to his meanness. I think like I did see a bunch of TikToks like that and just collectively seeing it I would say that they're both teenagers in a relationship trying to figure out how a relationship works Bye It does seem Like she does not give him a moment alone And some people just need time to decompress in a relationship. And I feel like that's kind of like, you know That's a lot of people, but it just it's not happening And there is a cheating thing. Now it's unclear how exactly it happened, but Dom argues that it was all while they were on break. So he's you, throughout, he's arguing that this is technically not cheating because they were on break. Mcenzie argues that it was while they were still together. But it does seem like Dom did in fact have relations with another girl, Faith, who is a friend since middle school says on the Netflix docs and she's throughout the jail calls, you know, she's there. So she's a big supporter of MackKenzie. Faith says I told Ken Faith is a supporter of MackKenzie. Like a friend and supporter because she's in the jail calls. She talks to MackKenzie on the phone in jail And Faith slept with Don? No, no, no. Faith is saying in the Netflix documentary. quote, I told Kenzie, Hey, your boyfriend just cheated on you with one of our best friends I felt terrible for Kenzie. I mean, it sucks to be cheated on Moving forward in their relationship, it caused a lot of trust issues. Hard it be like, Hey, who are you with? What are you doing This is clearly told from Mackenzie's point of view since she's DMing her friend about it later. So I found these Instagram DMs and she DMs her. He cheated on me four times in the beginning, two times were with my best friend It like fucked me up. You would die. I'm gonna tell you their story. I was a freshman. he was a junior. Literally her name was redacted. Literally, her name was reacted. She would leave my house at night and say she's gonna go to another friend's house, but instead she would walk to my boyfriend and fuck him. She didn't even tell me. He did. And he was publicly cheating. Literally like they had gym together and would fuck around in school and no one told me, it's insane In twenty twenty, about a year before the crash, MackKenzie writes to Dom, When you cheated on me, the girls didn't come up to you, you went up to them, too which Dom responds, they came to me. He argues again, it happened when they were on break and quote, you bring up me cheating like three times a week Maybe because you cheated on me. Mcenzie tells him the energy he needs to have is, quote, You hate all bitches but me. Do you know how many boys I ignore? Like thirty a day. I'm famous, I need my views What is she talking about? So like following people on Instagram. She's like, you don't need to follow girls, but I need to follow people and interact with people online because I'm famous and I need my views She wants him to text a girl quote, But you can't even text a bitch to get off your deck I don't even have her number. Get it She also goes into his phone to secretly block girls that are liking his photos and she sees nothing wrong with that, but Dom tells her, I get no fucking privacy like fuck you. One TikTok she posts, she's reacting to what she believes to be a funny comment that reads, Chicks be like, cheheck your man, not me. Bitch I beat him up already, it's your turn So I don't know if there was a lot of trust established in their relationship at this point. But one of their more recent fights is Dom seems to be getting fed up with Mackenzie hanging out with this one particular friend of Mackenzie's. Her let's call her G Dom believes G is a sex worker and he doesn't like his girlfriend hanging out with her, which normally, I am not a fan of any partner dictating who you should or should not be friends with. And I also feel like someone's occupation is not some sort of benchmark for their morality. But I guess on an objective level, maybe it could be warranted to not want a seventeen year old girl to hang out with a sex worker But maybe that's still something her parents should be concerned about and getting upset about, but instead of Dom. DM messages between this is around like june eighth, twenty twenty two. This is the month before Dom and Davon's deaths. McKenzie messages Dom. Do I have to pull up I would answer, I would answer. I would answer. Let me know if you're actually ending this. She video chats Dom. He doesn't respond. Like this is, you know, this is a pattern that we've been seeing. She sends him ten messages all back to back. Let me know if you're actually ending this. Answer now. She's freaking out on him and he just asks her, are you going to chill with thoughts Which side note, again, I don't necessarily like the word usage here to talk about someone's alleged mayy occupation, but I digress, Mcenzie tells him, You forced me and made me choose between you and my friend. You are being abusive. She tries to call him He doesn't respond He DMs, Are you going to chill with thoughts, specifically prostitutes Again, not the best word usage Are you gonna to show love, compassion and make me feel special and chase me Yes, of course I will. I'm going to go out to eat with my friends when they ask me to go or go roller skating. That does not make me one of them He responds, I'm not going to trace you if it's going to be toxic It's not toxic. Kenzie, you choose the thoughts we done, Babe, I'm sorry McKenzie starts demanding he stops hanging out with friends she doesn't like, to which he responds, My friends ain't prostitutes, babe And you need to and follow every girl you follow too. I don't care if you quote knew them your whole life. If I'm not allowed to be friends with redacted Okay, then unfollow every boy you follow. Mackenzie asks, and you need to buy me something really nice if I'm not allowed to be friends with them and I don't follow boys. They start arguing about who's cheating on who and if it was cheating, if it was during break or not. and Mcenzie tells them, whatever, Dom, go be single, then you obviously never loved or cared about me if it's easy to treat me like this But instead of letting things go She DM some and again get Why the fuck did you just stop answering She tries to video call him again, but again, this is near the end of their relationship. Dom is standing his ground and is telling her, you will get influenced by these people whether you think you will or not Mackenzie doesn't like that. She responds, No, I'm not. I have a mind of my own. I'm not a follower. I'm a leader. you know that It's a fact. Why aren't you letting me have a mind of my own Kenzy, it's proven fact. whyy do you think you and me are exact same by now? We always had lots of things in common, but now we literally say the same shit, we finish each other's sentences. Part of that is because we are only around each other, you know? L we eat the same foods now, we listen to the same music, have the same interests. L I want you to have friends, but I don't want five out of five of them to be prostitutes because I know you're gonna start acting different ' you did this last time when you were with her. I've seen it slowly happen last time. It's factual Well, I'm a new me every day. I'm never going to do that again and you know that Do what? Exactly. What does that mean Dama is hesitant I don't know, Kenzie. Well, if you love me and want to be with me, you can trust me and believe that. Dom responds, what happened last time? dot dot d. That was so long ago. That was not me. just like you're not a cheater anymore, even though you did last month That was nine months ago, not three years ago insinuating that whatever Kenzie did was nine months ago and what he did was three years ago Later, Dom says, No Kenzie, last time you started chilling with G, you sold your body. Now you're hanging with multiple of them That was over eight months ago. There have been conversations online that Mackenzie was working as a sex worker before the crash, which there is no evidence of. I do believe the police went down that rabbit hole as well. But when you have messages like those, it makes you speculate. Prosecutors later have a detailed section in their brief where they write, possible prostitution pandering obscenities. Here's everything that I found going through the FOIA about sex work or potential sex work In an Instagram DM, which we had to comb through like two thousand pages for the Instagram data for the FOIA, she and one of her Instagram friends are talking about how they got new Dii bags. The friend says, I need a few sugar daddies. MackKenzie responds, realal talk though. I want a foot one In an Instagram DM, april first, twenty twenty two, MackKenzie gets a DM from a guy named Mark asks wouldould you send me a picture of your belly button LLL, how much How much we Do you mean money Mark sends an example picture and writes, I would like to have a picture like this Who is a M Saranda. Yeah Very close to your belly button and in good quality. Shit, maybe like thirty dollars for a good quality photo. What do you think about that No, thirty dollars is way too much. I would spend max ten dollars for it. It's just a picture My friends sell it for fifty dollars, so thirty dollars was generous I don't care how much your friends send it. It's just a picture with an effort of like one minute and you show your body to the world anyway don't but thank you, stay weird I just have a belly button finetished though. It's okay if you don't want to do it for ten. have a nice day. march twenty twenty two, she gets a message from a random Instagram account, Can I spoil you Ges Cool with it. My snap is Big cheese Tokyo. Hit me up and I'll take care of you Then march twentieth, twenty twenty two, some guy named Gary Peterson, the CEO, literally that's like Gary Peterson, the CEO. DMs MackKenzie. how do you manage to being so hot Hi, beautiful, sorry if this is going offend you. Will you be interested in weekly payment allowance of six hundred dollars to be my online sugar baby? No sexual intimacy involved, just your online companionship? too which Mcenzie responds, Hey caps, I'm interested.

How about you Where you from, baby It's cold here Okay, baby, have you ever heard about Sugar mama before? McKenzie stops responding Have you heard of suugar Mama? Yeah, I know it's kind of weird, right? Yeah. These are just messages that I found. Then another message between another Snapchat user and Mackenzie, where they ask her, can we do this or what? MackKenzie responds four bands, which means four thousand dollars, to which the other person responds, you can have four straps of one dollar, LOL She responds one thousand dollars you finger that for me and Reach the destination Wh I'm doing it, then fuck yeah, I'm down.
