Netflix is known for some of the best crime documentaries across all streaming platforms, tantalizing viewers with true crime solving and interviews with all parties involved. But usually, the main suspect of the crime is easy to guess, and the documentary takes its time building the case against them. That was not the case with their most recent doc, Unknown Number: The High School Catfish.
A warning, there will be spoilers in this review.
The documentary opens with a gentle spoken teenage girl and the main victim of the documentary, Lauryn Licari. Her story begins in Middle School, where she begins to date her childhood friend and fellow schoolmate Owen McKenny. Lauryn is portrayed as a shy girl, introverted and slightly emotionally disconnected with her other schoolmates.
