About this episode

Terra Newell’s life forever changed on August 20th, 2016. That was the day she heroically defended herself from her mother’s con-man ex-husband by remembering things she saw on ‘The Walking Dead’.  The story would infamously become known as ‘Dirty John’. Six years later, Terra joins Caelynn to share the intimate real-life stories of the trauma and how she battled to put her life back together. TV saved Terra’s life, could hearing her story one day save another? It’s a True Crime Reality you really don’t want to miss.
