WTAF… A Catfishing Like No Other – The Cyber-Harassment of Lauryn Licari (pt. 1)

In this episode of Super SUS, we delve into the disturbing case from Beal City, Michigan, where 13-year-old Lauryn Licari and her boyfriend Owen McKenny became the targets of relentless cyberbullying.

It all began in October 2020, when the couple started receiving anonymous texts. At first, the messages seemed like cruel pranks, but by September 2021 they escalated into 40–50 disturbing texts per day — filled with threats, explicit content, and emotional manipulation.

Despite efforts from the school, local police, and even the FBI, the harassment continued, leaving the tight-knit community suspicious and divided. Classmates like Khloe Wilson even fell under intense scrutiny and the case seemed to grow darker by the day.

Ande leaves us on a cliffhanger as we wrap up our 49th episode, setting the stage for our big 50th episode. Be sure to tune in to part two, where we reveal who was really behind the twisted tale of cyberstalking.
