Our Take on the Documentary: Unknown Number: The High School Catfish
🎙️ Episode 240: Unknown Number — The High School Catfish
Description:In this episode, Tracy and Cathrine dive into the shocking true story behind Netflix’s Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. It’s the kind of story that makes you say, “Wait… WHAT?!” — a case so twisted and heartbreaking it feels like fiction. But it’s all real.
We’ll unpack the wildest details, share what surprised us most, and talk about what this story reveals about human nature, deception, and spiritual alertness. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about a catfish — it’s about what happens when darkness disguises itself in plain sight.
🕵️‍♀️ Episode Highlights
Summary of the Documentary:A small-town Michigan story that spiraled from anonymous bullying texts into one of the most bizarre catfishing cases ever — and the truth no one saw coming.
Most Shocking Moments:
The “outsider mom” who struggled to fit in.
The overcompensation — volunteering, coaching, inserting herself deeply in school life.
Her close, almost second-mom relationship with her daughter’s boyfriend, Owen.
The staggering discovery that the tormenter was inside the house all along.
The Investigation Unfolds:
A few key people — including Kloe’s family — grew suspicious early on.
Kendra constantly on her phone, juggling two devices.
The doc leaves out some local efforts to expose the bully before law enforcement cracked the case.
The Aftermath:
Lauryn reportedly grew suspicious of her own mom before the truth came out.
Despite it all, Lauryn and Kendra have maintained some form of relationship.
Kendra didn’t serve her full sentence — released August 2024, now on supervised release until February 2027.
✝️ Scripture of the Episode
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” — 1 Peter 5:8 (NIV)
This verse reminds us that deception rarely shows up wearing horns — it usually comes disguised as something trustworthy, familiar, or even well-intentioned.
đź’ˇ Takeaway
Stay alert — not anxious, but aware. Evil operates quietly when we stop paying attention.God calls us to live with discernment, grounded in His Word, anchored in truth, and guided by love.
🙌 Call to Action
This week, let’s live out 1 Peter 5:8.
Ask God to help you stay spiritually alert.
Pay attention to the small “red flags” He puts in your path.
And share this episode with a friend who loves a good true story with a deeper meaning.
