Manage episode 518875788 series 3664308
In this chilling episode of Pod Candy: Cults, Crimes & Killers, Stacey Flaster and Dori Goldman unpack Netflix’s shocking true-crime documentary Unknown Number: The High School Catfish. What begins as a disturbing case of anonymous harassment among Michigan teens quickly spirals into one of the most jaw-dropping catfishing stories ever told.
Joined by forensic psychologist Dr. John Mayer, the hosts break down the psychology of this disturbing case—from “cyber-Munchausen” and parental obsession to the long-term trauma of betrayal and emotional control. Together they ask: what drives a parent to become the villain in their own child’s story?
