Laura Owens begins relationship with Michael Marraccini in April 2016.
According to Michael via court records, he tried to end the relationship prior to their upcoming Iceland trip, but was coerced by Owens’ parents because she was threatening them with suicide. Ronn Owens, Laura's father, begged Michael to stay in contact with her because her life was at risk and that he would help him get out of this relationship afterwards once she was safe. Text messages between Marraccini and Owens' parents reveal their appreciation for his help and later their condolences as his own stepfather was reportedly battling a terminal illness at the time.

On December 30th, Laura Owens and Michael Marraccini travel to Iceland together - a trip that Owens later describes in her TedX Talk. In her TedX Talk, Owens claims that Marraccini subjected her to verbal and physical abuse throughout the duration of the trip. [1]

2017
Marraccini ends relationship with Owens in March. She claims he impregnated her, but later in court documents it was revealed she admitted she lied about that, apologized about the suicide threats, and there was never any evidence of a physical issue between them. Once Marraccini ended their relationship, Owens began stalking him, which led him to contact the police. That is when she accused him of physically assaulting and raping her, and it is presumed that those are the reasons she has an order of protection against him. She claims to have aborted the alleged pregnancy. (See link to court docs at end of this page.)
