There was much more to the conversation Cecil and I had about the shadow people he saw after the tornado that didn't fit into his episode.  If you haven't already listened to his episode, go do that first and then come back here to hear Cecil talk about all the spooky encounters he's had.

Hey everyone! As a bonus episode, I’d like to introduce you to a podcast I’ve come to really enjoy - True Crime Unwind.  This episode has some similarities to the Mackenzie Shirilla case from The Crash on Netflix and a case close to host Mercedes.  So I thought this was a great introduction to their show.  Enjoy!

Episode 59: Jeff McQueen, Dante Crump, Kaireem Meeks, and Jonté Clark - Saugerties, NY

Before there was Mackenzie Shirilla, there was Meredith McSpirit

Episode Summary

In August 2015, Jeff McQueen, Dante Crump, Kaireem Meeks Jr., and Jonté Clark were heading home from work at the Saugerties HITS Horse Show when tragedy struck. The car they were riding in left the roadway, traveled down a private dirt road, plunged down a 110-foot embankment, struck a house, and came to rest upside down. All four young men were killed. The driver, 19-year-old Meredith McSpirit, survived.

What followed was a years-long controversy filled with conflicting statements, questions about possible impairment, rumors, lawsuits, and a grand jury decision that left many family members and community members outraged. Investigators found no evidence of mechanical failure and ultimately cleared McSpirit of criminal wrongdoing, but for many, that decision only created more questions than answers.

Because before there was Mackenzie Shirilla, there was Meredith McSpirit.
