Every so often, Netflix releases a sleeper hit that becomes everyone’s favorite new obsession. This past week, it was a true crime documentary with one of the most bizarre plot twists in recent memory.
“Unknown Number: The High School Catfish,” currently the top movie on the streamer, follows the mysterious case of a teenage girl, Lauryn Licari, and her boyfriend, Owen McKenny, from a small high school in Beal City, Michigan, who were viciously cyberstalked by an unknown number for months in 2020, seemingly in an attempt to break them up.
At first, the texts were mild, like one that read, “Hi Lauryn, Owen is breaking up with you.” Another read, “He no longer likes you and hasn’t liked you for a while. It’s obvious he wants me.”
