In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two cases of young women who were murdered by their ‘sugar daddies’.

Sugar dating is a pseudo-romantic relationship between an older wealthy person and a younger, usually significantly poorer, person. Many sugar babies are college/university students who are looking for a way to pay off their debt.

Mackenzie Lueck met Ayoola Ajayi online in 2019. The two planned to meet up after her flight home for her grandmother's funeral. But, Ayoola had ulterior motives and planned to murder her. When Mackenzie got to his home, he tied her up and strangled her. Ayoola then attempted to burn Mackenzie’s remains and belongings in his backyard, in full view of his AirBnB renter and neighbors.

Liliya (Lily) Guyvoronsky (20) had been dating Bothell City Council member James McNeal (58) for months. James recently left his wife and three children to be with her. Lily detailed their relationship in her diary and in messages to her friends. 'He is really controlling and I can tell he thinks I'm stupid because I am young,' she wrote. In April 2024, the two got into an argument and James allegedly killed Lily. James called his attorney to the scene who called 911 to report the murder. James is currently in jail awaiting trial, scheduled for July.
