31. Aggravated Murder: Mackenzie Shirilla

In the early hours of Sunday, July 31, 2022, a car wreck was reported to emergency services. It appeared that the vehicle had ventured off the road and collided with a brick business building. Three occupants of the vehicle were extracted, two were deceased, and the investigation into this accident uncovered a harrowing truth: this accident wasn't an accident at all.
