"Bay Area radio legend Ronn Owens and his wife were dealt a legal blow this week, which could lead to the foreclosure of their home in Scottsdale, Arizona. The 80-year-old retired KGO-AM 810 talk-radio host and his wife, Jan Black Owens, have lost their bid, via a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing, to keep creditors from trying to collect on their reported $2.3 million in liabilities."
"They reported owing months of back mortgage payments for their home and more than $511,000 to more than 40 banks, credit card companies and other creditors. On Monday, a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge in Arizona dismissed Ronn and Jan Owens' Aug.14, 2025, bankruptcy petition, saying the couple failed to fully comply with recommendations made by the court-ordered trustee. Meeting these requirements was necessary for them to move forward with a plan that could allow them to keep their home and repay some or all of their debts over a three- to five-year period."
"This news comes as their 35-year-old daughter Laura is separately preparing for trial in July on 14 felony counts alleging that she targeted two Arizona men, including former Bachelor star Clayton Echard, with false pregnancy claims in 2021 and 2023. Authorities in Maricopa County allege that Laura Owens initially wanted to press these men in relationships before pursuing court cases against them. Laura Owens has pleaded not guilty and issued a statement last year saying she intended to meet these accusations head-on and "I will defend myself, fully and relentlessly, through every step of this process.""
Ronn Owens and his wife faced a legal setback when a U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Arizona dismissed their Chapter 13 petition, exposing their Scottsdale home to potential foreclosure. The couple reported about $2.3 million in liabilities, months of missed mortgage payments, and more than $511,000 owed to over 40 banks, credit card companies and other creditors. The judge ruled they failed to comply with trustee recommendations necessary to advance a repayment plan that could have preserved the house and spread payments over three to five years. Their 35-year-old daughter, Laura, faces a separate criminal trial on 14 felony counts alleging false pregnancy claims.
