In this gripping episode of The PI Files, we sit down with Terra Newell, the woman who ended the reign of terror of conman and abuser "Dirty John." But this isn’t just a retelling of a headline-making case. From a private investigator’s perspective, we explore how red flags were missed, the warning signs of manipulation and coercive control, and the psychological toll victims face when navigating abuse. Terra shares her experience not to relive trauma, but to help others recognize the danger before it’s too late. If you're a PI, survivor, or advocate, this episode is a must-listen.
