The Unknown Number

True Crime Creepers

Show Notes

Imagine being a teenager. Your phone is constantly going off, but every time it buzzes, it isn’t a friend. Instead, it’s a threat. For almost two years, high school students Lauryn Licari and Owen McKenny couldn’t escape the messages, the calls, the feeling that someone was always watching. What began as unsettling interruptions grew into a campaign of harassment, and when they found out who was actually behind the messages, their entire world would change.
