Thirty years ago, 43-year-old Delois Anderson was abducted from her Memphis home, taken to a cemetery, and buried alive alongside her son and his teenage friend. While public attention has focused on the men connected to the crime, almost nobody has stopped to ask about Delois herself. Using her clinical framework of origin mapping, Dr. Dylesia explores the intergenerational beliefs, survival strategies, and family dynamics that may have shaped Delois Anderson’s life, and examines how loyalty, protection, silence, and unspoken family rules can become deadly when left unexamined.

Netflix’s coverage of the Mackenzie Shirilla case, The Crash, left viewers with a big, unanswered question: What the f#@k is wrong with this family? In the premiere episode of Cycles That Kill, Dr. Dylesia examines exactly that, exploring the family dynamics that conditioned Mackenzie Shirilla to commit vehicular homicide, taking the lives of her long-term boyfriend, Dominic Russo and friend, Davion Flanagan. This episode explores how entitlement, enmeshment, image protection, relational aggression, and a lifetime without meaningful accountability created a murderer. It's not a story about one bad moment, it’s a story about a problematic family system, a daughter who was never truly corrected, and the deadly consequences of a cycle no one stopped.
