For more than two years, Michigan teen Lauryn Licari and her boyfriend were tormented by a relentless stream of abusive, anonymous messages. They were sent up to 50 a day. Convinced a jealous classmate was behind the harassment, they turned to police and the FBI for help. But when investigators finally traced the source, the truth stunned everyone: the cyberbully was Lauryn’s own mother, Kendra Licari. Now, with a Netflix documentary reigniting interest in the case, Katie looks at the facts and poses the questions everyone’s wondering: Why would a mother stalk and torment her own child? Was she obsessed with her daughter’s boyfriend? And does she feel any remorse? Crime House Daily is a Crime House Original Podcast, powered by PAVE Studios. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
