'Unknown Number: The High School Catfish' - a chilling and disturbing watch

September 25, 2025

Cape Argus

NETFLIX‘S Unknown Number: The High School Catfish is a harrowing and disturbing story of cyoenbullying, that also has a twist that would fit perfectly in a M. Night Shyamalan masterpiece.

- MICHAEL SHERMAN

The story follows the anonymous text messages that were sent to a young American high school couple, Lauryn Licari and Owen McKenny, for a period of two years.

The couple, from the small town of Beal City, Michigan, were just 13 years old when they started receiving texts which contained alarming, vulgar, insulting and threatening messages.

The main objective of the messages from the start seemed to be to break up the young couple. In numerous messages sent to Licari, the content was both sexual and unsettling and clearly should not have been sent to either minor.

The messages continued and soon saw the couple break up, which the viewer expects would be the end of it.

But the story goes on, and both children continued to receive up to 50 messages a day at times from the anonymous sender.
