‘You Have 3 Seconds to Answer': The Toxic Countdown Texts Before Mackenzie's Deadly Crash

**Stephanie Soo** (0:00)
Netflix has done it again. Unknown Number, The Crash, and Now. The new must-see documentary, Maternal Instinct, tells the story of Taylor Parker. While claiming to come from a wealthy family, she fell for Wade Griffin, a hog trapper in a small Texas town. Their relationship appeared perfect, complete with a pregnancy that she shared all over her social media, but doubts around her pregnancy grew, and when the truth finally surfaced, it brought horrifying consequences. Meet Taylor Parker, the youngest woman on Death Row, and the town that knew she was lying but did nothing to stop her. Watch Maternal Instinct, June 12th, only on Netflix. Having insurance isn't the same as having State Farm. It's like showing up for movie night ready for a heart-pounding thriller, but getting a three-hour documentary on lawn care. That's kind of like insurance. Insurance may all seem the same on the surface, but when it comes to getting the help you need, State Farm is the real deal. You wouldn't settle for a snooze fest when you came for a thrill ride, so don't settle for just any insurance when there's State Farm. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. Picture this. It is the end of a long week. You're unwinding in the tub listening to your favorite True Crime Podcast. And then, chronic hives come back. Again, in the middle of the episode. What a wet blanket. Looks like another spell of itchy, swollen, red or skin-colored hives. If you have chronic, spontaneous, urticaria or CSU, there may be a different treatment option.

Welcome to the second half of part one of the case of Mackenzie Shirilla. In the first half of part one, we went through a lot of what people have been saying about Mackenzie Shirilla's personality, getting to know all of her school disciplinary records, how she was trying to be a social media influencer, a lot of her private Instagram DMs, because we received a 2,000-page document of just her Instagram direct messages that were a little eye-opening, as well as the fact that once she woke up from the car crash as the sole survivor after Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan were killed in the car crash, she claims that she doesn't remember a single thing. She doesn't remember pedal to the metal, going nearly 100 miles per hour straight into a brick building, never touching the brake. She doesn't remember anything, nothing.
So with that being said, this is the second half. Text messages from almost exactly a year before the crash, Mackenzie tells Dom, maybe when you can actually formulate a sentence yourself and not just repeat what I said last, I'll take this fucking conversation seriously. To which Dom responds, WTF? See, I don't say anything mean. You just purposely try to say hurtful things. You say that I'm not going on vacation with you. You say you're not going to do anything for me anymore. Like what? You said you were going to break up with me too. Like that's all verbally abusive. When you want to fix this on both ends, let me know.
Mackenzie responds, I'm allowed to say how I feel and if you don't like that, then that sucks. Why would I want to go on vacation with someone that won't even give me one gram of free weed? So this is literally just her getting mad that he's not giving her weed. He tells her he does give her weed, like free weed all the time, right? He's like, you always demand weed from me, I'm giving it to you. She just responds, too bad because I don't want your whack ass weed anymore, I never want it again.
He's like, so we're done over that? Is there someone else? Like you literally got me thinking about quitting weed. And she blames everything on Dom. Now a lot of people might take this as the truth, but I will say consistently over 30,000 something pages, this is like a pattern of Mackenzie, anything wrong happens in her life, she blames somebody. So she says, how are you gonna get me addicted to weed and then not give me weed when I need it? Like the fuck? So fed up with your shit. I personally don't think that Dom got her addicted to weed. I think that, I mean, they're all teenagers. I think that she would have discovered weed regardless of Dom. I don't even know if he's the one that introduced it to her or if they both started at the same time. Like she just likes to blame everyone for all of her problems. To which Dom responds, Kenzie, I try to tell you not to rip bongs at six in the morning, but you do it every day.
