Episode notes
Group Chat Horror Begins
- A mysterious unknown number joined a group chat with 13-year-olds Lauryn and Owen and began sending taunting texts that escalated from silly to vicious.
- The harassment grew to 40–50 messages per day and continued for roughly two years, ruining Lauryn's school life.
Why Identification Was So Difficult
- The police and school repeatedly struggled to identify the sender because the texts used disposable/fake numbers and arrived during school hours.
- Tracking required persistent evidence collection and later FBI involvement to trace IPs tied to anonymous apps.
The Suspect Turns Out To Be Mom
- Investigators ultimately arrested the sender at Lauryn's house while Lauryn and her mother sat together awaiting the reveal.
- The suspect was Lauryn's mother, Kendra, who had been anonymously harassing her own daughter for years.
