Owen McKenny was one of the subject’s interviewed for Netflix’s hit documentary series, Unknown Number: The High School Catfish .
If you haven’t watched yet, the doc follows a young teen couple in Michigan, Lauryn Licari and her boyfriend Owen . In October 2020, and then again in September 2021, they start receiving graphic, cyber-bullying texts from an unknown number. The texts get more frequent as time goes on and are quite graphic. Some texts that were shown in the documentary even say that Lauryn should take her own life.
“It was so bad to the point where I didn’t want to even go to school anymore. Each and every day I’d feel like I’d lose trust in everyone,” Owen expressed in the documentary.
The school investigated and for months, thought a student might be involved.
