“Hell on Wheels” murderer Mackenzie Shirilla whined to her mother because she missed her iPad and wasn’t satisfied with the quality of prison food, demanding a cushier lifestyle while locked behind bars.
Shirilla, 20, made the demands over the phone after she was jailed for intentionally driving her car into a brick wall, killing her ex-boyfriend Dominic Russo and friend Davion Flanagan back in 2023, according to the US Sun.
“I really want my iPad, though,” Shirilla told her mother from Cuyahoga County Jail in Cleveland, Ohio, according to the outlet.
The then-teenager, who was being held at lock-up awaiting trial, complained that she wasn’t able to sleep at night and whined for the electronic tablet despite not knowing how she could get access to it.
“Can you call and ask? Please. Please,” she begged before being told bluntly that jail officials would treat it as a “special request.”
“You’ll get it when you get it,” Shirilla’s mother, Natalie, told her daughter.
“Why the f–k man?” Shirillia shrieked.
In other jailhouse calls with her mother, Shirilla complained about the food she was being served and she began paying for food with her own money, her former prison girlfriend Shyann Topping told the US Sun.
Shirilla used the strange mother-daughter bonding time over the phone to learn that she began forming a cult following after the story of the crash made it to news outlets.
“Kenzie, it’s on the Today Show,” Shrillia’s mother told her, receiving a shocked reaction.
Shirilla was disappointed after learning her story didn’t make it to TV but was picked up by the NBC program as an online story.
Shirilla, then 19, was caught on camera deliberately flooring her Toyota Camry to 100 mph before it jumped a curb and flew into a brick warehouse in Strongsville, Ohio, back in July 2022.
Russo, who was in the passenger seat, and Flanagan, who was in the back, were both declared dead at the scene. Shirilla was found unconscious with her fuzzy Prada slippers still on the accelerator.
The deadly wreck is featured in Netflix’s “The Crash” documentary.
The glamorous killer is currently serving two concurrent sentences of 15 years to life at the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville.
In a later call, Shirilla was recorded hauntingly fantasizing about capitalizing on the infamous murders to launch a career in Hollywood if she were sprung from prison early.
She also ordered for her Instagram bio to be changed to read “#freekenzie” despite her mother’s pushback.
“And please don’t forget to change my Instagram bio. Try and get into that one Instagram account and change my name,” Shirilla demanded, according to the outlet.
