A forensic DNA test usually scans about 20 fixed markers of DNA. It may take a few days but it’s enough to differentiate a suspect from the rest of the world with a near perfect level of certainty.

 

Except for identical twins.

 

It’s not a perfect analogy but think of DNA as a 3 billion letter book. Most people have about 20 chapters that are completely different. For identical twins, their entire book is identical except for about 8 typos. Not 8 different chapters, or sentences, not even 8 different words. 8 letter typos amongst 3 billion letters.

 

The technology to find these is only available at a handful of labs and costs hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. Thankfully, identical twin crime is rare.

 

Except for Ohio.

 

A woman who lives alone is raped and murdered in her own home, and the DNA left at the scene traces back to a set of identical twins.

 

Two 13 year old boys are the main suspects but which twin is innocent?

And which twin is guilty?

Mackenzie Shirilla killed two young men.

 

A lot of people, including the courts believe that a part of Mackenzie’s motive was her longterm, hostile relationship with Dominic that he, supposedly, wanted out of.

 

Mackenzie and her parents deny any intent at all. They go so far as to allege that Mackenzie and Dominic’s relationship wasn’t perfect but it also wasn’t that bad.

 

We will be chronologically recounting their fights throughout the years and leading up to the murders.

 

30k pages of texts between Mackenzie and Dominic from 2020 to July 2022.

 

Years of texts messages between a killer and one of her victims? Years of texts messages between two teenagers that ended in tragedy? Or a little bit of both?

Some of the best advice you’ll ever hear is simple: don’t go to prison. But sometimes, it’s unavoidable. If you do, the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville isn’t what you’d expect, more like a college campus than a prison. Programs, classes, even freedom to move during three daily yard times.

Yard time is where everything happens, fresh air, social life, information. It’s where people start whispering about the show they just saw.

The one about 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla.

The same Mackenzie walking the yard, full face of makeup, hair done, curls set, gems in her hair.

That one?

Killed two people.

And now, one former inmate says,  

She’s in the bathroom getting trains run on her…
