Two weeks before the crash, a witness heard Mackenzie Shirilla say "I will crash this car right now." On July 31, 2022, she did — at over 100 mph, into a brick building, killing her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend Davion Flanagan. Netflix released a documentary called The Crash. It covered the case. It did not cover everything. In Part 1, Tyrella and Nikita walk through the victims' backgrounds, the four-year relationship between Mackenzie and Dom, and the evidence of coercive control, prior threats, and dangerous driving that the documentary largely glossed over.You'll hear about the secret recordings Dom made before his death, the highway incident two weeks before the crash, and what prosecutors called 'prior calculation.' It's a lot — in the best and worst way. Part 2 is already live on Patreon— get it NOW at www.patreon.com/killerqueenspod!

It will be live on this feed in 2 days. Content warning: murder, domestic violence, coercive control, drug use. If you or someone you know is in a dangerous relationship, the National DV Hotline is 1-800-799-7233.
