About this episode
The episode tells the story of Michael Marraccini and his tumultuous relationship with Laura Owens, exploring the psychological and legal ramifications of their time together.
Laura Owens didn’t start with Clayton Echard or Greg Gillespie. In 2016, Michael Marraccini met Laura on a dating app, and he’s never been the same. He dated Laura for a year and a half. The relationship left him with lifelong psychological scars, and a legal battle that’s impacted his everyday life. In this episode, we’re telling Mike’s story, which answers some of the biggest questions, like — what’s Laura’s endgame? Why does she do this? And maybe most interesting of all... what does her family know?
