    Many listened to the Dirty John podcast, which introduced the world to John Meehan, a dangerous serial predator who infiltrates the life of Debra Newell and ultimately dies at the hand of her daughter, Terra. But there was an overlooked story that’s now being told, in full, for the first time.
    In The First Wife: John Meehan’s Reign of Terror, Tonia Bales recounts her harrowing experiences as John’s wife of 10 years and the mother of their daughters, Emily and Abby. Highlighting new details and revelations, Tonia shares the abuse she suffered from the man she once believed to be her soulmate, but who ultimately revealed himself as a coercive and controlling terrorist. Through exclusive archival materials and all-new interviews with the people who knew her and John best, uncovering long-held secrets and including perspective from their daughters, Tonia embarks on a re-investigation of the man she thought she knew. The multiple bombshells she unearths include one that will change her and her daughters’ lives forever.

    Show notes

    Today, Eastern State Penitentiary is best known as a museum which strives to educate the public on the criminal justice system, but it was once considered one of the most revolutionary prisons of its time. Built around the ideas of penance, reflection and reform, the prison was designed to keep inmates in solitary confinement in the hope that they would reflect on their crimes and change their ways. And over the years, it housed infamous criminals, including Chicago gangster Al Capone and notorious bank robber Willie Sutton. But there are also accounts of paranormal activity. In this episode we will be talking about the prison and its history.
