"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?

I was 11 years old when I witnessed my father murder my mother, so I made sure he went to prison for it. With my world turned upside down, I decided my trauma would not be what defined me, and so began my journey to pick up the pieces of my life and move on. In each episode, I examine human nature's intricate mysteries and highlight the healing process that comes along with it. From sensationalized media headlines to tales of tragedy and triumph—the good, the bad, and the unexplainable. Along the way, I’ll speak with fellow advocates, academics, survivors, and storytellers to uncover captivating stories that empower people to overcome adversity and find purpose. Let's inspire, heal, and make a difference—one story at a time. Got Fan Mail? Gifts for Marisol? 3019 Ocean Park Blvd. #950 Santa Monica, CA 90405 Links: https://www.collierlandry.com/links
