Episode 459: Police Gave Me EVERYTHING Netflix Didn’t Show You About “Unknown Number”
A new true crime documentary has just been released on Netflix titled, ‘Unknown Number.’ The twist at the end is so unexpected and shocking that people start making TikToks of their friends and family’s reactions.
The premise: Lauryn and Owen are thirteen year olds navigating a middle school romance until they get put into a group chat with an unknown third number. The texts start off silly.
“Best day ever! Only one of you got voted on homecoming court – this is epic! LMAO!”
They quickly escalate in severity and occurrence; sometimes up to 50 harassing text messages a day for roughly two years.
“Owen loves me and I will always be the girl he loves. He will be with me while your lonely ugly ass is alone. I fucking own Owens dick. Cry more you fucking jealous bitch.”
Who is sending these messages? Why do they want Lauryn and Owen to break up so badly? Why does it take the authorities two full years to finally catch the sender?
Those were just a few of the many questions netizens still had after finishing the documentary...
Rotten Mango was able to secure a never before seen case file that is nearly one thousand pages long.
We discuss these exclusive details along with the sender’s possible motives, theories, and answers to some of the most asked questions.
This is everything the new documentary ‘Unknown Number’ didn’t tell you about the real life case.
