Netflix’s Unknown Number: There’s More to the Story in Lauryn Licari’s Case

In October 2020, Lauryn Licari and her boyfriend Owen, both 13-years-old at the time, started receiving weird text messages about themselves from an unknown number. These weird messages would ramp up over the next few years, getting violent, graphic, and encouraging Lauryn to self-harm. After police got involved, the messages started to try to pin the sender as one of Lauryn’s classmates. Further investigation revealed Lauryn’s harasser’s identity, and it was a revelation no one was ready for.
