Suspects Owen and Khloe’s lives now after being ‘framed’ in mum’s shocking catfishing

Netflix’s new documentary Unknown Number: The High School Catfish follows the shocking true story of a mum who catfished her own daughter, and this is what happened to the other suspects Owen McKenny and Khloe Wilson after they were cleared.

Kendra Licari bombarded her teenage daughter Lauryn with thousands of horrible messages from an unknown number. Police heavily investigated her boyfriend at the time, Owen and his friend Khloe, and were convinced she was the stalker as she “didn’t like” Lauryn.

The High School Catfish doesn’t really delve into what happened to Owen and Khloe after Kendra shockingly admitted she was the catfish, so here’s where they are now.

Catfish suspect Owen McKenny is now playing college baseball

Owen graduated from Beal City High School in May 2025 alongside Lauryn and all the other students in the documentary. His Instagram account is private, but his bio reveals he’s now at Hope College in Michigan and plays baseball there. The baseball team is part of the NCAA Division III and the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

He and Lauryn broke up before Kendra even admitted to catfishing her daughter, and they are no longer in contact. Lauryn has also turned her Instagram profile private, but her bio reveals she now has a new boyfriend called Zach, and they’ve been together for more than a year.

“There were so many victims in all of this and everybody felt that in such a big way, and especially Khloe, who was the center of the investigation for a very long time,” the Netflix documentary’s director Skye Borgman told Tudum.

“Not being believed by friends at school, losing friends at school because they’re taking sides. All these big things that are happening because of these text messages that are being bandied about are real things that happen to high school students today, to middle school students today.”

Khloe Wilson has told her side of the story on TikTok

Khloe also graduated from Beal City High School in May. Last November, the school’s athletics club revealed she had signed with Montcalm Community College for volleyball in a Facebook post. She was due to start there this September leaving school, but her name isn’t on the 2025-26 roster.

She has told her side of the story in a new TikTok video where she called herself “one of the kids that got framed”. In the video, Khloe claims everyone from Beal City was invited to her mum’s famous Halloween party, and says she didn’t even know about the texts until way later. The Netflix documentary says Lauryn wasn’t invited.

“I had no idea that there was a random text going around about her not getting invited to these parties until Kendra called or texted my mum and asked her if it was me who sent the text to Lauryn,” she said. “Fast forward to the end of eighth grade year, I still really didn’t know about it. I heard Owen was getting random texts a little bit, but not really that much about it.

“I’m pretty sure this was the beginning of freshman year, around volleyball time, kind of close to like December. That’s when Owen asked me ‘Hey, is this you? [sending these messages]’ And I was like, ‘I have no idea what you’re even talking about’. At this point thought it was one bad text or a couple of random texts someone sent. I was like, ‘No,’ brush it off. So I was like, ‘No I didn’t send that text’.”
