Synopsis [ edit ]

Dirty John is a true crime story focusing on the life and exploits of John Meehan. Los Angeles Times journalist Christopher Goffard first heard of Meehan when he learned that the police were investigating a possible murder in Newport Beach. Upon investigating, Goffard discovered a bizarre web of deceit and abuse.[4] The main focus of the story is Meehan's relationship with businesswoman Debra Newell, whom he met via an Internet dating site and married within months, as well as her immediate and extended family. The podcast deals with themes of abuse and manipulation, as well as the behaviors of those being abused.[5] Meehan was killed by Newell's younger daughter, Terra, who acted in self-defense when he tried to abduct her on the rooftop parking lot of her apartment building on August 20, 2016. He was hospitalized and died on August 24.[6] The story was covered by Dateline NBC on January 12, 2018 and included interviews with Goffard.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

II "Newlyweds[16]" 36 : 09 October 2, 2017 ( ) After an intruder appears in John and Debra's livingroom, John insists that they install security cameras. Debra begins to wonder whether he is spying on her. Her nephew, Shad, looks into John's background and confronts him with what he finds.

III "Filthy[17]" 46 : 43 October 4, 2017 ( ) Debra grapples with the question, "Who did I marry?" The story of John's mysterious past unfolds through the eyes of his sisters, his law school housemate, his ex-wife, and an Ohio cop who hunted him. The origins of John's nickname are revealed. Bed-ridden in an Orange County hospital, he pleads with Debra to take him back. IV "Forgiveness[18]" 42 : 20 October 5, 2017 ( ) Debra is in hiding, living out of hotels and disguising herself with a wig. She fears she will meet the fate of her sister Cindi, who was killed by her husband as she tried to escape a bad marriage. John has explanations for the accusations against him. He weeps and apologizes. Three decades earlier, that had helped Cindi's killer walk out of prison. V "Escape[19]" 47 : 06 October 7, 2017 ( ) John finds a lawyer and plots to unleash a blizzard of lawsuits against his enemies, with the aim of proving to Debra that he is the victim, in case after case.

VI "Terra[20]" 40 : 35 October 8, 2017 ( ) Debra's daughters, Jacquelyn and Terra, suspect John has been watching them.

But Terra is preoccupied by a country music concert, and Jacquelyn's rough description has her watching for the wrong car.
