unknown number the high school catfish who was it

The high school catfish in the story told by the Netflix documentary "Unknown Number: The High School Catfish" was revealed to be Kendra Licari, the mother of Lauryn Licari, one of the teenagers being harassed. Kendra had been sending threatening and harassing text messages to her daughter Lauryn and Lauryn's then-boyfriend Owen McKenny for nearly two years, using an app to disguise her phone number and evade detection. This shocking revelation came after a thorough investigation involving local law enforcement and the FBI, which uncovered that the cyberbullying perpetrator was not a peer or classmate, but Lauryn's own mother. The case took place in Beal City, Michigan, and deeply affected the lives of the teens involved.
