I'm Alice and I'm Brett and this is the prosecutor's legal briefs. I'm your host, Alice, and I'm joined as always by my catch of a co-host Brett.

So true, Alice.

You've finally come to understand my value both to this podcast and to the world.

So I appreciate you.

Well, a catch or catch a fish.

And a catch is wonderful.

But, you know, one of the things about the cases that we investigate is we've now ventured into a world where things that may have just been pranks in years of the O'clock times would never involve, say, the FBI,

but we're beginning to see more and more cyberbullying harassment that cross lines that we have

never seen before because of the advent of text messaging, blocking your numbers. And we were able to see one of these cases in full

display, a case that really shocked the world when it came to fruition. And we're of course talking

about a case of a young teenage girl and her boyfriend who had this young, innocent,

14-year-old relationship in high school when all of a sudden they started getting the most horrendous, vulgar text messages from an unknown number.

And it escalated, escalated for years until this unknown number continued to harass them, broke

them up, but didn't stop there, told the young girl

to kill herself repeatedly and seemed to be stalking her, seemed to know her every move,

new things that only close people next to her would know.

Before you say anything else, if you haven't seen the documentary on Netflix, stop now

and go watch it because Alice is about to spoil it for you.

I'm not. I wasn't about to spoil it. I wasn't. This was then made into a documentary called

a unknown number, and I'm not about to spoil it. We will spoil it in this episode, obviously.

But all of you, if you've seen it, jaws on the floor, oh my goodness,

this is not just going to be a gab fest about how shocking this case is or this documentary is.
