Summary

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.

Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of True Crime with Kendall Ray.

0:10.9

Thank you so much for joining me today.

0:13.3

And if you're new to the show, then welcome.

0:15.5

So happy to have you here.

0:16.8

Now, guys, today, okay, we are talking about something that I know a lot of you are already familiar with because this has gone super viral.

0:26.5

We're going to be talking about Lauren Licari and the new very viral documentary on Netflix called Unknown Number.

0:35.9

Now, we actually had this case on my schedule way before the documentary came out.

0:41.8

And I didn't know it was going to come out.

0:43.9

And honestly, I thought maybe I shouldn't even cover it anymore since Netflix already is.

0:49.0

But it recently dropped.

0:51.6

And so many of you have messaged me.

0:53.8

Like, I don't know if I've ever gotten this many requests to cover something ever. Well, maybe. I don't know. But this is up there with most requested. And I know that there are going to be some people that are like, oh, you're late to the party. We've already watched it. And that's fine. This isn't for you. This is for people that want to have a conversation

1:12.2

to hear my thoughts and also go over some of the things that Netflix left out because there

1:17.1

1:25.1

circling the internet that I thought it would be interesting to dive into it with you guys today.

1:28.9

And I also have to say right off the bat, I was really annoyed that I already knew the story before watching the documentary because the way that they laid this thing out was perfect.

1:40.6

You would have no idea the big twist.

1:42.5

If you don't know, don't worry, I won't spoil it until

1:45.3

we get there. But this is a spoiler alert. This entire episode, you will know the whole gist of the

1:50.8

documentary after watching this episode. But I wish I didn't know going into it because it would

1:57.4

have been such a shock. And seeing people's reactions online had been really interesting.

2:02.8

But even though I already knew most of the details on what happened, I was still just blown away by this
