In this Wrap Sheet episode of Heists, Hustles, and Homicide, we peel back the layers of the Kendra Licari catfishing case - a story that shocked a small town and left lasting damage far beyond the original investigation.

What began as a relentless cyberbullying campaign against a teenage girl turned into something far more disturbing when the truth came out: the messages weren’t coming from a classmate… they were coming from inside the home.

In this deep dive, we break down:

1. How Kendra Licari cultivated the image of the “cool mom”
2. The dangerous blurring of boundaries with her daughter’s friends
3. The unfair suspicion and fallout faced by innocent students like Khloe Wilson
4. How control, attention, and obsession quietly shaped the investigation
5. And the devastating moment when Lauryn learned the truth

We also look at where everyone is now, how this case still lingers, and why it’s a chilling reminder that cyberbullying doesn’t always come from where we expect.

Listener note: This episode discusses bullying and emotional harm involving minors. Content is handled with care.

Next week: The Pizza Bomber case - a delivery, a bomb, and a mystery that still doesn’t sit right.

For nearly two years, a Michigan teenager was psychologically tormented by an anonymous texter who seemed to know everything about her - what she wore to school, her insecurities, her relationship, and exactly how to hurt her.

The messages came nonstop.

Dozens a day.

Cruel, humiliating, sexually explicit - and eventually telling her to end her life.

Parents begged school administrators for help. Police investigated classmates. Phones were searched. Suspects were cleared. And all the while, one person remained at the center of the investigation - comforting the victim, pushing for answers, demanding justice.

Her mother.

In this episode of Heists, Hustles, and Homicide, we unravel the shocking true story behind the Kendra Licari catfishing case - a digital stalking nightmare that stunned investigators, fractured a family, and forced an entire town to confront an unthinkable truth.

We dive into:

1. The anonymous texts that escalated into psychological warfare
2. The devastating emotional toll on a teenage girl and her relationship
3. Why schools and local police couldn’t stop the harassment
4. How the FBI finally cracked the case through cyber forensics
5. The moment investigators realized the threat was inside the home
6. The disturbing psychology behind a mother who became her child’s tormentor

This isn’t just a story about cyberbullying.

It’s a story about control, fear, and betrayal hiding behind love.

Listener discretion advised.

In this Wrap Sheet deep dive, we’re reopening one of the most infamous mysteries in American crime history - D.B. Cooper - and putting the legend under a microscope.

This isn’t a retelling of the hijacking.

This is the post-game breakdown.

We dig into how Cooper actually pulled this off, why the Boeing 727’s aft stairs made the crime possible, and whether survival after the jump was brilliant planning… or blind confidence fueled by bourbon and bad weather

We examine:

• The mechanics behind the hijacking and mid-air jump
• Why 1971 airport security made this crime possible
• Whether Cooper died on impact, drowned, or disappeared quietly
• The mystery of the ransom money found along the Columbia River
• And why the suspects list goes far beyond Richard Floyd McCoy

Speaking of McCoy — we confront the elephant in the cabin.

We break down the modern evidence, including:

• Parachute discoveries uncovered by independent researchers
• Testimony from McCoy’s own children
• And the strongest arguments for and against him being D.B. Cooper

We also explore other major suspects, including Robert Rackstraw, Kenneth Christiansen, Sheridan Peterson, William Gossett, Barbara Dayton, Richard Floyd McCoy...and explain why some theories collapse under the weight of physics, logistics, and common sense.

Was D.B. Cooper a criminal mastermind?

Or just a man who understood airplanes, people… and how to vanish?

One thing’s certain — this case refuses to stay buried.
