I vaguely follow this over the years and am halfway through the podcast. WOW.

My question for the experts here is, what is the consensus on how much her parents and her attorney know? Do they actually believe her innocence?

I came across this utterly insane story in the local paper--and I swear it's Laura's other half!

This woman, Bridget Adams, was a drug counselor who came onto a client of hers. After he rejected her, she:

• became obsessed
• harassed him with an endless barrage of text messages
• Used an app to create a new phone number every time he blocked hers
• Got a restraining order as retaliation for the restraining order he got against her
• Fabricated documents as evidence
• Called the cops multiple times claiming he'd violated the restraining order when he hadn't
• Contacted his work to try to get him in trouble there
• Made up claims of Domestic Violence
• Impersonated a variety of people, including lawyers
• Tried to intimidate him into dropping the restraining order via legal threats (including a letter of intent to sue!)
• Used that litigation threat to try to compel communication
• Claimed that someone else hacked her and they're really the ones doing the harassment when caught
• Claimed a conspiracy was involved in framing her
• Tried to get another restraining order after a move left them thousands of miles apart from each other

Sound like anyone we know?!

>I think your embarrassed and scared to reach out to her because you meant the things you said in the very beginning and then you became an evil dick and the best way to handle things for you is being a passive aggressive narcissist instead of an actual man.

[emphasis mine] Flashbacks to Greg in particular.

I also think it's interesting that she preyed on someone who was in an emotionally vulnerable spot, like Laura did Clayton and Mike, and lied about her professional background (again, like Laura).

As with Laura's victims, law enforcement were extraordinarily lazy when it came to evidence, taking Bridget's word for it that these fabricated messages were sent by her victim. The victim here also suffered lost employment opportunities because of the fraudulent restraining order against him.

>UC Berkeley criminal law professor Andrea Roth, who is generally sympathetic to the difficulties of investigating sexual assault threats, said that if prosecutors and police officers don’t realize emails and text messages can be easily fabricated, “that is embarrassing ignorance on the state of digital evidence.”

What really had me gasping: Bridget, too, once sued a man for paternity after they dated for a week and a half... when she didn't have any children. Apparently this is a thing.

Anyway, Bridget Adams was sentenced to nine years and four months and later had another two years tacked on. Does that give us hope for Laura's outcome? 🤞

I might not make it to the end of the story. I'm a day one guy listening to Dave Neal when this story broke. For a long time, I had nobody to talk to about it, except you guys. Nobody cared. Now, we're everywhere and we're all Clayton, Greg and Mike. I'm invested. Sadly, April 2025 I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I've already exceeded expectations , and I think it's because I NEED to know how this all ends. But, realistically, it's a long shot. So, I'm asking, celebrate for me if it's what we hope for. Throw a fit if it's not. Write letters! Stand up for all the victims. Stay on task, and see it through. I'm counting on you guys, to do what you all do so well. Thank you to the Mods for allowing me to post this, and for all the work you do.

HAHA HA HAHA HA!

I’m literally GIDDY listening to episode 10. It makes me so happy that justice is being served to that witch. I’ve never been more angry listening to a woman tear apart so many people’s lives with NO REMORSE. A few questions I’ve been mulling over this last week as I’ve been listening:

- WHY is she continuing to keep up the lie even after so so so so many people / justice system have caught her in so many lies?

- Are her parents just terrible enablers? How and why did they continue to believe everything their daughter was saying? At some point, wouldn’t you be like “alright, this is getting to be a bit much.” literally the queen of the boy cried wolf.

- I’m wondering why all three cases were allowed to go on for so long. Do justice systems have access to records from previous cases? I’m just wondering why people weren't questioning her when the same thing with different men kept happening with the same stories. They kept handing out restraining orders like candy and it honestly pisses me off how in favor of her the judges were before Clayton. It’s bizarre.

- can any of the men sue her for defamation?

I just want to commend glasspodcasts on the exceptional reporting and riveting “Lovetrapped” podcast. Like many, I’m a sucker for a true crime podcast while driving, and like many woman, I’m a mom often in the car alone, whether en route to work or following an orchestra school bus with 9 cellos heading to competitions.

Once I’m out of the car my podcasts get paused until I return to my next “point A to point B”… but not with Lovetrapped.

Lovetrapped forced me to find my AirPods and keep the play button on.

I took this one home, listened with every opportunity I could find anywhere free time could be found, even out of the car.

Thank you to the producers, Clayton, for telling his side of the story, and the men brave enough to come forward. Thank you to Stephanie and her tenacious spirit in uncovering whatever the truth might have been… she makes it clear from day one that despite likely being “in over her head”, she was determined to gain a clear and objective understanding by asking all of the questions to all involved.

You guys proved something I’ve never thought was possible… that accountability can exist in a society so quick to dismiss a man’s POV, especially one whose reputation has already been publicly mischaracterized.

If the only assets the Owen’s claim they have (since their house is going to foreclosure) are their 9 horses, couldn’t CE force a sale of the horses to satisfy his judgment against LO?

JPMorgan Chase v. Ronn Owens - New Lawsuit Summary

JPMorgan Chase Bank has officially refiled its legal action against Ronn Owens and Jan Black in the Maricopa County Superior Court. The case follows a previous filing that was interrupted by a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Case Details

• Case Number: CV2026-017935.
• Filing Date: April 30, 2026.
• Court: Superior Court of Arizona, Maricopa County.
• Total Amount Claimed: $51,861.07.
• Legal Basis: Breach of Contract, Open Account, and Account Stated.

The Allegations

• Account History: The lawsuit concerns a JPMorgan Chase credit account in Ronn Owens' name. Chase claims Owens used the account for goods, services, or cash advances but failed to make the required periodic payments, leading to a "charged-off" status.
• Successor by Merger: JPMorgan Chase is suing as the successor by merger to Chase Bank USA, N.A..
• No Disputes: The bank asserts there are no unresolved disputes regarding the account and the full balance is now due. Chase is seeking the principal amount only and is not seeking post-charge-off interest.

What Are These Documents?

• The Summons: This is the official notice to the defendants. Since it was issued in Arizona, they generally have 20 calendar days from the date of service to file a written "Answer" or "Response" with the court to avoid a default judgment.
• Compulsory Arbitration: The case has been flagged for compulsory arbitration under Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure. This typically applies to civil cases where the amount in controversy falls below a specific local threshold, aiming for a faster resolution than a full trial.
• Legal Representation: Chase is represented by The Moore Law Group (specifically attorney James Hammond) based out of Santa Ana, CA.

During a scheduled hearing today, Laura Owens' bankruptcy case was officially dismissed. She may not file for bankruptcy in any US court for a year from the date the agreement was submitted.
