The Highway 3 Cooler Murders

from True Crime Deep Dives · host Ed O'Leahy

This true crime account chronicles the tragic murders of Mason and Layla Reed in Shawnee, Oklahoma, in May 2019. The narrative details how the children, aged 17 and 14, were found deceased in coolers along a highway, having been injected with a paralyzing drug by their drug-addicted mother, Brandi Reed. It explores the complex motivations behind the crime, including Brandi's financial struggles, her volatile relationship with boyfriend Dillon "Dilly" Parks, and his sinister plan to sell the children alive, which seemingly prompted Brandi's desperate act. The text also touches upon a disgraced veterinarian, Harvey Klein, who was involved in an organ trafficking scheme that further complicated the case, before concluding with the perpetrator's trial and sentencing and the lasting impact on those affected.
