Debra Newell was ready to give up on love. By the fall of 2014, she'd been married and divorced four times and was reeling from a string of bad dates. But then she met John Meehan, and it seemed like her luck was finally changing. Meehan was a handsome doctor who doted on Newell. She fell in love almost immediately. Two months later, they were married.But Newell would eventually discover that Meehan wasn't a charming doctor at all – he was a serial con artist with a violent past. Los Angeles Times reporter Christopher Goffard joins Crime Story to take us behind the scenes of Dirty John, one of the most popular true crime podcasts of all time.For ad-free listening to Crime Story, subscribe to CBC's True Crime channel on Apple Podcasts.Feedback for us?

Ah, John Meehan, aka "Dirty John"—the guy who could con the pants off anyone... sometimes literally. The L.A. Times ran a six-part series on this con artist, which made his life sound like a soap opera that went off the rails and landed straight into Dateline territory. Let's dive into the world of Dirty John, where love, manipulation, and a toxic mix of sleaze are shaken, not stirred. The Tinder Tale Gone Wild John Meehan was the kind of guy who had “walking red flag” stamped on his forehead, but that didn't stop him from turning into every catfishing nightmare you've ever heard of. According to the L.A. Times series, Dirty John wasn't just dirty—he was filthy. He played the classic “doctor” card to lure his victims, but this wasn't Grey's Anatomy. There were no steamy hospital dramas, just a dude with a syringe full of lies and a Tinder profile polished enough to make even the FBI blush. Picture it: a charming guy, oozing confidence, shows up in scrubs. Maybe he's fresh off a 72-hour surgery or a shift saving orphans. Nope. In reality, John was more likely fresh off a scam or scoping out his next victim. His real skill was manipulating people—specifically, women. And he had a PhD in it, though I'm not sure from what shady online university. Love-Bombing: The Meehan Special John wasn't your run-of-the-mill, “forget to text back” guy. No, no—John was all about the love bombing. He would swoop in, overwhelm his victims with affection and attention, and then BAM! The red flags start popping up faster than ads on a sketchy website. But by that time, his victims were already hooked like fish at a carnival game, and just like those prizes, the only thing you were winning was a lifetime of disappointment. The L.A. Times documented the lengths Meehan would go to in order to maintain his charade. He'd fake everything—credentials, stories, and even his life. The man had more aliases than a wannabe spy and more shady stories than your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving. The Medical Fraud Maestro John loved to play the “doctor” card, but the closest he got to medical expertise was probably watching re-runs of House. What he did know how to do was order drugs online, intimidate people, and get restraining orders filed against him. It's like his Tinder bio should've just said: “Looking for love, emotional manipulation, and eventual legal action.” His con artistry had a special flavor, with a heavy sprinkle of “gaslighting.” Imagine him telling someone, “No, honey, I didn't steal your credit card—must've been an identity theft thing.” Meanwhile, he's driving around in a car that you technically paid for, probably picking up flowers to gaslight his next victim. The Family that Fought Back Now here's where things get spicy: his last victim, Debra Newell, wasn't playing around. Sure, John fooled her initially, but she had a daughter with a finely tuned BS detector (which I imagine was essential growing up around this circus). When things got real dark and John's true nature was revealed, Debra and her family fought back. In the end, it wasn't a lawyer or judge that ended Dirty John—it was Debra's daughter, Terra, who took him down like the villain in a Lifetime movie. By the time Terra was done, John was out of lives and out of luck. The showdown between them is the stuff that action movies are made of—only instead of a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster, we got a real-life "WTF just happened?" moment. Terra wasn't having it. She put an end to the nightmare with a knife, and in doing so, gave a masterclass in self-defense. She's the real MVP. Lesson Learned: Swipe Left So, what's the moral of the Dirty John saga? Maybe it's to always Google your Tinder date before you meet them. Or perhaps it's that anyone who says “I'm a doctor” but drives a car that screams “loan shark” should be instantly suspect. In any case, the L.A. Times six-part series shined a light on the shadows John Meehan cast over everyone in his life—and like all great villains, he eventually got what was coming to him. Dirty John's story is a cautionary tale about trust, lies, and the dangers of wearing rose-colored glasses in the world of online dating. Just remember, if someone comes on too strong, too fast, with stories that sound straight out of a bad rom-com—grab your phone, delete the app, and maybe start attending some jiu-jitsu classes. Just in case.
Today, on Crime & Entertainment we have Terra Newell. Terra is the daughter of Debra Newell, Debra thinking she meet the love of her life through a dating app had unknowingly meet the devil himself, John Meehan.John knew exactly what to say to sweep Debra off her feet. She was ready to take a chance on him, and on real love. However, John Meehan wasn't who claimed to be. He had been released from prison in October 2014, only two days before he met Debra, after serving time for violating a restraining order.The two soon moved in together — and that's when the true Dirty John began to emerge. He became increasingly violent, and isolated Debra from her daughters, Jacquelyn and Terra, who were suspicious of John from the start. When the Newell women dug into his past, they uncovered a web of lies and crimes. And, before long, John's violence turned from Debra to Terra, who barely escaped with her life. She details in this show how she fought for her life after being attacked in a parking garage by John Meehan that day. Also, how the effects of that day is a struggle years later and she even has her own podcast detailing the difficult roads that survivors face after the trauma is over. These days Terra is a life coach and dedicates herself to helping those who have had similar situations. You can find links to that and Terra's socials below.

She's the founder of Ambrosia Interior Design and is a self-made multimillionaire. As a little girl, she was always sick, so she'd spend her time drawing and designing houses. She grew up in a loving family; and although her previous marriages ended in divorce, she was close with her four children. She continues to build her interior design empire today; while spreading the word about domestic abuse and how to look out for red flags. She doesn't believe in victim shaming; so she wrote a book about her experience with her narcissistic, abusive fifth husband, John Meehan. She and her daughter Terra, use their experience to share with those who may be going through the same struggles. #NavigatingNarcissism I want to hear from you, too.

In this episode, Laura interviews survivor and shero Debra Newell from the podcast “Dirty John,” Bravo show of the same name and Oxygen documentary, “Dirty John, the Dirty Truth,” which Laura served as consultant producer on. Now Debra has written a book called “Surviving Dirty John” to set the record straight about what really happened. Laura and Debra discuss how Debra went to four different police stations, desperate for help. Despite Debra's 319-page report about John's history, the police told her it was a civil matter and to go home. This is exactly why Laura and Debra have been lobbying for coercive control law reform and a register for serial perpetrators in America. Laura unravels coercive control including the red flags and her indirect assessment of John Meehan using the Psychopathy Checklist Re-visited. Debra shares her investigation into her sister Cindi's murder and reads out the message she sent police the day before her daughter, Terra Newell, was attacked by John Meehan.

In 2017, the true crime podcast ‘Dirty John' was released based on the life and death of the infamous John Meehan. He was a con man who married wealthy interior designer, Debra Newell, and lied about his identity to the entire Newell family. The podcast series became such a smash hit that Bravo created a television adaptation of the story with Connie Britton playing Debra Newell, Eric Bana as John Meehan, and Julia Garner playing one of Debra's daughters, Terra Newell. In this episode of ‘The Spillover,' Alex Clark interviews Terra about KILLING John Meehan in self-defense, how that trauma derailed her life, and how she was ultimately able to get it back on track and help others overcome their own trauma.TRY MOINK HERE and get free filet mignon for a YEAR!APPLY HERE FOR TPUSA'S Young Women's Leadership Summit with code: POPLITICSWatch this interview on the POPlitics YouTube HERE at 9pm PST/MIDNIGHT EASTERN.

Coercive control is defined as “a strategic form of ongoing oppression and terrorism used to install fear.” In England and Wales, it is illegal. Unfortunately, it isn't in the US, yet. Debra Newell along with others are educating others and trying to get legislation passed in order to protect women from this subtle form of abuse. Learn how John Meehan used coercive control and the 12 signs of coercive control.
So, campers, today we're excited to have a special guest with us. I'm sure most of you are familiar by now with the “Dirty John” story, either because of the six-part LA Times podcast or the TV series with Eric Bana and Connie Britton. They tell the story of con man and serial predator John Meehan, who seems to have devoted his entire life to using and abusing other people, especially women, to satisfy his drug addiction and his sadistic desire for control. Today we're joined by Debra Newell, whose life with John Meehan inspired the podcast and the miniseries. Debra has written a new book, along with veteran true crime writer M. William Phelps. It's called Surviving Dirty John: My True Story of Love, Lies, and Murder, and Debra is a woman on a mission: To educate us about predators like John and how to protect ourselves from them. That is a goal that is dear to our hearts here at True Crime Campfire, so we're thrilled to do what we can to help her get her message out.

Welcome to episode 24! Dirty John was the nickname for John Meehan, a conman and nurse anesthetist. He earned the nickname while briefly studying to become a lawyer. He was adept at seeming like a nice guy until his demons rose to the surface. His victims include vulnerable women who would wind up paying for John's many expenses. When they would eventually stop John would threaten these women as well as their families. When John met Debra Newell, he was planning another con, but this would end in a violent manner. Then Sandra talks about the Omni Parker House Hotel that is located in Boston, MA. Founded on October 8th, 1885, this hotel has become a Boston landmark and has been visited by not only local residents, but also famous people. From Charles Dickens to Ralph Waldo Emerson, it was also the home of the invention of the Boston Creme Pie. Although it is still a popular hotel today, there are a few people who have never checked out. These include the ghost of the original owner Harvey Parker who still appears to ask the guest how their stay is, as well as a few other restless spirits.

This week we're talking about a man so slimy, he might as well be a slug. John Meehan, or rather "Dirty John" makes a living manipulating and terrorizing unsuspecting women. In the fall of 2014, John slithered his way into the life of the beautiful, and overly generous Debra Newell. Blinded by her love, Debra failed to recognize all of John's blaring red flags and allowed him to wreak havoc on her life and her family. Deb seriously couldn't see how toxic and straight up dangerous this man was until it was almost too late! C'MON DEB.
This episode finishes the story of John Meehan and Debra Newell with a surprising twist! Here’s the thing: criminals think they are so smart. And then one miscalculation ruins everything!
Dirty John es una serie en la que cada temporada expone un caso real de la vida de mujeres que son maltratadas por los hombres, como la historia de Debra Newell que se topa con Dirty John, un hombre que busca mujeres ricas y solas para enamorarlas y vivir de ellas, o el caso de Betty Broderick, que es víctima de un esposo narcisista que la engaña y le hace la vida imposible.
I don't know anyone who likes going to the dentist nor do I know anyone, to my knowledge, who has lied about their college degree. Before John Meehan and Debra Newell, there was Arthur Warren Waite and Clara Peck. Written by Schuyler Fastenau and executive produced by Daniel Jones.
