Christine shares the heartbreak of reliving her brother's death every day while now watching it play out publicly, she breaks down the moments that made it clear Mackenzie's actions were deliberate, from a terrifying highway incident two weeks before the crash to Mackenzie's coded conversations with her mother in the hospital immediately after — and shares her motivation for starting her podcast, The Big Sister Unhinged, to advocate for domestic violence awareness and warn young people about the red flags of toxic, controlling relationships.
