Overview

This book takes readers beyond the headlines and Netflix screen, tracing the real-life consequences of one of the most shocking small-town scandals in recent memory. In 2022, the nation was stunned when Kendra Licari-beloved teacher, coach, and mother-was unmasked as the person behind an anonymous campaign of digital harassment that tormented her own daughter Lauryn and Lauryn's friend, Owen. What began as a cruel mystery of texts from an ""unknown number"" spiraled into a full-blown investigation, FBI involvement, and a courtroom reckoning that shattered the trust of an entire community. Netflix's Unknown Number: The Case of the Catfishing Mom retold this story to millions, but once the credits rolled, audiences were left wondering: what happened to the people at the center of it all? This book delivers the answers. Drawing from verified sources and real accounts, it follows Lauryn's painful journey from victim to survivor, Owen's struggle as the boy caught in the middle, and the fractured path of Kendra as she confronts disgrace, prison, and life after release. Readers also meet Shawn and Khloe, whose stories add nuance and depth to the ripple effects of betrayal, trust, and healing. But the book goes further, examining the psychology of parental betrayal, the role of digital anonymity in modern harassment, and the power of true-crime storytelling to shape reputations and public conversations. Each chapter combines careful research with human-centered narrative, giving space to both the trauma and the resilience of those involved. By the final page, this book becomes more than just a ""where are they now"" account-it's a reflection on trust, forgiveness, and what it means to rebuild after a public scandal. For readers of true crime, psychology, or anyone fascinated by the real stories behind Netflix documentaries, this book offers insight, empathy, and a glimpse of hope amid betrayal.
