"I Ended The Madness Of Dirty John" Survivor Terra Newell Finds Light In The Blackhole Of Sociopathy

Moving Past Murder Episode #31 - April 1, 2022 Dirty John, the hit podcast from Wondery and The Los Angeles Times, turned into a TV Sensation starring Connie Britton, Juno Temple, Julia Garner, and Eric Bana as the charming, handsome, sociopathic nightmare John Meehan. But what happened to the real-life characters played by those stars? In today's episode, Collier Landry interviews Terra Newell, daughter of Debra Newell (who married John Meehan), about her experience with the psychotic John. After living in fear that her mother had become entangled with a sketchy character, Terra's fear turned into a nightmare when John Meehan charged Terra with a knife in broad daylight, intending to end her life. However, fate was on Terra's side as the knife came loose, and she could defend herself against a monster twice her size, ending the madness. In today's episode, we discuss... • What happens when your life becomes a true crime nightmare? • Recognizing coercive control. • When self-defense ends another human being's life, how do you move past that?
