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 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]
