() The prosecutor highlighted in Netflix’s new documentary, “Unknown Number: The High School Catfish,” says it’s a “million-dollar question” as to why Kendra Licari cyberbullied her own daughter and her boyfriend.

“I don’t think anybody ever really is going to know why she did this,” David Barberi told “Banfield” on Monday.

“I think that the theory that we all have, that we lean on anyways, is that it was kind of when this started to cause harm to her daughter. I think her daughter looked to her for comfort, and over the course of that relationship and this harassment, I think that she kind of fed on that.”

Kendra Licari began sending aggressive texts to her daughter, Lauryn, and Lauryn’s boyfriend, Owen McKenny, in the fall of 2020 to try to break them up.

A majority of the messages were extremely crude and repeatedly told Lauryn Licari that she wasn’t fulfilling McKenny sexually. Sometimes they ranged from 40 to 50 messages a day. The elder Licari acknowledged that her behavior was a result of previous trauma that she hadn’t processed after she was raped at age 17.

Licari was arrested in 2022. She was sentenced to 19 months in prison as a result in March 2023.

Documentary didn’t capture effect on families involved: Prosecutor

Despite apologizing in court, Barberi feels that Licari’s words fell on deaf ears for the families that were involved and the overall harm she caused them.

“Tt’s really hard to capture that in an hour and a half when these families dealt with this for over a year,” Barberi said. “This trauma was going on, this harassment, this constant graphic text messages that were being received by all of these individuals.”

Barberi specifically discussed Owen McKenny and his family, describing how much pain and anguish they went through during the ordeal.

McKenny also received nonstop texts from Kendra Licari for over two years.

“You can only imagine what it would be like to be his mother and his family having to watch their son deal with this over a year of battling this in school and with friends and trying to figure out where it was coming from, you know?” Barberi noted.
