2021
June/July: Laura Owens and Greg Gillespie went on three dates, after which he told her he did not want to continue dating.
After one of the aforementioned dates, Laura and Greg engaged in sexual intercourse. Eleven days after their sexual encounter, Laura informed Greg that she was pregnant. Around this time, she also told Greg that she would let him have control of the outcome of the pregnancy if he committed to being in a relationship with her. Greg alleged that Owens stalked, threatened and harassed him during this time, including emailing his HR department. Source: OOP excerpt included below.
June 30: LO and GG go on their 2nd date.
July 16: LO attends an appointment with John Jones, DO, at One Medical due to amenorrhea. She takes a urine pregnancy test while there which turns positive. LO then informs GG via that she is allegedly pregnant.
August 6: Laura texts a photo of an ultrasound to Greg depicting her alleged pregnancy with twins.[1] After receiving the ultrasound from Laura, Greg runs it through a reverse Google image search which reveals that it was identical to a sonogram found on a blog post from 2015[2]. Greg then texts Laura a link to the blog along with two videos of Laura waiting outside Greg's house when he was sick with Covid[1]. The two discuss the ultrasound and the blog over a phone call that Greg recorded.
August 11: Laura files a civil lawsuit against Greg, alleging Abortion Coercion, Domestic Violence, and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED).
August 12: Greg files a Order of Protection (OOP) against Laura. He alleges that Laura attempted to get him fired from his job in retaliation for breaking up with her.
August 22: LO forwards GG an alleged email chain between attorney Joe Cotchett (an Owens' family friend), attorney Alison Cordova, and herself with the subject "Urgent: copy of conversation with Joe Cotchett & contract". The email also includes a signed and dated Contingency Fee Agreement for Cotchett's law firm to represent LO in a legal proceeding.[3]
August 23: GG retains attorney Gregg Woodnick to represent him in the case[4]. Attorney Kaci Bowman informs LO via email that GG has retained Woodnick Law Firm to represent him in the case and states that all future communications from LO to GG should be directed to the firm. Bowman also asks LO if she would agree to take a prenatal paternity test at ARCpoint Labs. LO responds to Bowman, saying she plans on filing a separate family court case and would be willing to take the paternity test. LO also states that she has spoken informally with the attorney who plans to represent her in the current case about text messages she received from GG the night before. LO ends her email with, "He can contact me at (phone number) if he rethinks his decision regarding a relationship and if he would like to be a part of pregnancy decisions going forward".[5] The same day, Woodnick emails Joe Cotchett to verify whether his firm is representing LO in her case against GG.[6]
August 24: Woodnick receives a reply from Cotchett's firm stating that they do not represent LO in the referenced matter.[6]
August 27: Woodnick's paralegal emails LO: "You should receive an email from ARCpoint Labs of Scottsdale later today setting your appointment for non-invasive prenatal paternity testing for next week."[5]
September 1: Woodnick emails LO, stating that she should have received confirmation data from ARCpoint regarding the prenatal paternity testing, and it is her choice to participate in testing at this point.[5]
September 30: Cotchett replies to an email from LO: "Thank you for the note - it is an extraordinary story with GILLESPIE. I am glad to hear you are pursuing charges as they conduct is outrageous - if we can help in any way, please do not hesitate to call."[7]
November 12: LO files a Petition for an Order of Protection against GG. Judge John Doody grants the OOP the same day.

October 12: The case was dismissed by Judge Gordon.
2023
November 9: Laura submits "The Gillespie Connection" police report to Scottsdale PD, claiming that he is violating his protection order by posting things about Laura online. Detective Reedy concludes that none of the Reddit accounts can be traced back to Greg. [10] It should also be noted that on page 15 of "The Gillespie Connection", Laura states that Greg is the one to post the Halloween costume picture to Reddit.[11] She claims in court to Judge Doody on October 25, 2023 that Clayton Echard was the one to post that image.[12] Since these accusations, the Reddit user that did in fact post it has come out to claim that they did, and verified their identity to the journalist Megan Fox (and they are neither Greg nor Clayton).
2024
April 26: It is discovered during a livestream with journalists Dave Neal and Megan Fox that the ultrasound Laura sent Greg back in 2021 to prove her twin pregnancy had a Fiverr logo imbedded in the background.[13] The ultrasound is also discovered to be from a "vanishing twin" blog from 2015, and the owner of the original ultrasound communicated with Gregg Woodnick (Greg Gillespie and Clayton Echard's lawyer) via email. Their communication was submitted as evidence for Echard's trial on 6/10/2024.[14]
June 10: Greg Gillespie was called to testify at Laura Owens' hearing against Clayton Echard, but time ran out before he was able to testify.[14]
