You may know Terra's name from the podcast or Netflix series titled Dirty John. Basically, Terra's mom, Debra, began dating a man named John Meehan, who wasn't who he presented himself to be, and things got very dangerous very quickly. The result was Meehan attacking Debra's daughter, Terra, in the parking garage of her apartment complex, where he began stabbing her. But Terra was able to get the knife and ended up killing Meehan in self-defense.

Terra's story has been told by so many different people over the years... But like so many of the survivors and family members we speak to on this show, Terra saw some major issues within the true crime entertainment industry and began telling her story in her own words as well as helping others do the same.

I was actually on Terra's podcast, Time Out with Terra, years ago to talk about Alissa. But since then, she and friend of the show, Collier Landry, created The Survivor Squad podcast. I've known Terra for years, but as we discuss, conversations like these aren't exactly casual ones to have with friends over drinks, so this is the first time we've really sat down and talked about everything.
