123. Terra Newell: Surviving and Taking Down “Dirty John”

1 hour 8 minutes

Debra Newell had a few failed marriages and went looking for love on a dating website. She came across a man named John Meehan. She thought he was a charming, successful anesthesiologist, handsome, and kind. In actuality, he was none of those things.

John, better known as “Dirty John”, had a scary past that Debra and her family didn’t know about.

Eventually, John began to tear Debra’s family apart. However, she was being love bombed and psychologically manipulated to the point she couldn’t see what was really happening for a while.

As their relationship progressed into marriage, there were red flags that Debra did open her eyes to and she was scared.

She was living in fear and went to one of her daughter’s apartments to stay to get away from him. John began stalking Debra and her family.

One of Debra’s daughter’s, Terra Newell, joins me today and talks about this traumatic experience.

Terra killed John in self defense during a terrifying attack. She’s a courageous, smart, strong, inspiring human being and I admire her so much.
