Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one.
At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.

Before we get to episode 10, there’s some important context about Laura and her family’s interactions with Scottsdale Police. At the end of 2023, the police were dispatched to Laura’s family home for at least 4 different welfare checks, most of which were likely initiated by online users who had been following her court cases. Two of those welfare checks were recorded on officer bodycams. In this bonus episode, we’re playing those recordings. For exclusive content, follow us on Instagram @glasspodcasts.
