Show Notes

23-year-old Makayla Rose Desantis was shot and killed by her boyfriend, Austin Doucette, in Maine. Desantis had been experiencing abuse from Doucette, including verbal threats, emotional control, and physical shoves. She had even switched her work shifts to avoid being alone with him. In February, she confided in her boss about Doucette grabbing her arm and paying off his credit card bills. Doucette owned guns and frequented a shooting range. On March 8th, Desantis was shot, and Doucette called 911, claiming it was accidental. He then sped off, leading to his arrest. Desantis died after being airlifted to Portland, leaving questions about the warning signs and the ongoing investigation.
