A new true crime documentary has just been released on Netflix titled, ‘Unknown Number.’ The twist at the end is so unexpected and shocking that people start making TikToks of their friends and family’s reactions.

The premise: Lauryn and Owen are thirteen year olds navigating a middle school romance until they get put into a group chat with an unknown third number. The texts start off silly.

“Best day ever! Only one of you got voted on homecoming court – this is epic! LMAO!”

They quickly escalate in severity and occurrence; sometimes up to 50 harassing text messages a day for roughly two years.

“Owen loves me and I will always be the girl he loves. He will be with me while your lonely ugly ass is alone. I fucking own Owens dick. Cry more you fucking jealous bitch.”

Who is sending these messages? Why do they want Lauryn and Owen to break up so badly? Why does it take the authorities two full years to finally catch the sender?

Those were just a few of the many questions netizens still had after finishing the documentary...

Rotten Mango was able to secure a never before seen case file that is nearly one thousand pages long.

We discuss these exclusive details along with the sender’s possible motives, theories, and answers to some of the most asked questions.

This is everything the new documentary ‘Unknown Number’ didn’t tell you about the real life case.

The story was simple. Perhaps, a little too simple.

Rebecca says she pulled into the parking lot of the sports store with her 7 month old son, Emmanuel.

She went to get him from the back but a creepy man walked up to her, said “hola,” knocked her out, and stole her son.

A tragic situation. But what if it never even happened?

There are so many questions that don’t make sense if her story is true -

Rebecca claims she didn’t see the man at all before he knocked her out. She says he came up from behind her. But how did she get punched in the middle of her face where she now has a black eye if he came up behind her?

Also if her black eye is from the kidnapper punching her in the face - why are there reports that family members saw her with a black eye weeks before the abduction?

How come she keeps using past tense when referring to her son?

And why did she making missing child flyers in an effort to find her son but disconnect her phone so that no tips/sightings would actually go through?

But most intriguing - how come nobody saw her with a baby that day? The day she claims her baby was abducted?

Ikbal's mother has been trying to get in contact with her daughter for over an hour at this point. Ikbal had been dealing with a stalker for a few years and her family were frantic.

One more try.

Ikbal’s mother dials for her daughter.

Click.

Someone picks up the phone, but the response is not from a 19 yo teenage daughter. It’s a low, quiet voice; her stalker is on the other end. He says 15 words and hangs up.

“Don’t worry. Your daughter is in good hands. The girl is sleeping in peace now…”

A little later, the same day, a video goes viral on Turkish social media - specifically Discord.

A woman screams ‘Ikbal’ as she’s held back by a crowd of people. Clear as day in front of her, in the middle of a busy street is her daughter’s decapitated head.

A second video goes viral.

A boy, 19 yo as well, jumps from the edge of a building with a rope around his neck.

October 4, 2024 three 19 year olds die in the same city. Their deaths all connected and viral on Discord.

Until it goes dark.
