Description

Debra Newell is a successful interior designer. She meets John Meehan, a handsome man who seems to check all the boxes: attentive, available, just back from a year in Iraq with Doctors Without Borders. But her family doesn’t like John, and they get entangled in an increasingly complex web of love, deception, forgiveness, denial, and ultimately, survival. Reported and hosted by Christopher Goffard from the L.A. Times.

Introducing Dr. Death | 1
A year ago a listener of Dirty John emailed Wondery which produced Dirty John with the LA Times, with a tip about a surgeon. He said the surgeon appeared to have a lot in common with John Meehan. This is a story not just about a surgeon and the 33 patients he hurt, but about a system that failed to protect those patients at every possible turn. And It's the same system that supposed to protect you and me today. I hope you help us spread the word because it’s a story that everyone should listen to.Subscribe to Dr. Death on Apple Podcasts or visit www.wondery.com/drdeath

Completely Revolting So glad i'm not the only one who thinks that. The way her voice goes up in tone at the end of every sentence, like everything is a question. It's awful.

I think Deb laughs when speaking of him as if she still loves him. If it we're me, I'd probably cry reliving events that involved me having been responsible for subjecting my family to such harm. But she laughs like a school girl with a crush. Very disturbing.

Ok wait....did Debra really ask "Doesn't he look happy" after everything that happened? I feel like had he kidnapped Terra and she didn't kill him, she would have still taken him back.

I'm getting more and more irritated with this woman. This is what desperation looks like...so willing to dismiss blatant proof that something isn't right. So incredibly frustrating to hear.
