Debra Newell’s life became the focus of the wildly popular true crime podcast and movie Dirty John- but behind the headlines is a mother, a survivor, and a woman of deep faith.
In this episode of Got It From My Momma, Debra shares her harrowing real-life experience of falling in love with a man she met on a dating app...someone who appeared to have everything: wealth, prestige, charm, and a career in medicine. What she didn’t know was that he was a con man who would manipulate her, try to drain her financially, isolate her from her children, and ultimately bring her family into a tragic and unimaginable situation.
Debra opens up about:
- How manipulation can happen slowly—and to anyone
- The impact Dirty John had on her relationship with her children
- The weight of her daughter’s involvement in his death
- Rebuilding Trust
- And how her faith in God has sustained her through loss, shame, and healing
This is more than a true crime story. It’s a raw conversation about love, deception, motherhood, forgiveness, and finding God’s grace after trauma.
