What? This whole family sounds insane before he arrived.

Honestly, unpopular opinion, but the story telling was slow and okay at best. Dirty John would have been a better book, maybe? The details were great in some areas and excessive in others. The picture was painted that the family was crazy baseline. Terra, clearly is on a lot of psych medicines. The mom is ridiculous, but the grandmother takes the cake. It’s genetic. I honestly think John did a great job of picking his victims because it was obvious from the start. I couldn’t understand why the brother-in-law was even mentioned only to clarify the family is crazy and they have good reason to take meds themselves. He was portrayed as a loser, but honestly where was the 10 years backstory while he was married? He became a nurse and a nurse anesthetist. Do you realize how hard that profession is? I felt like this podcast degraded that profession in a way. There were no stories from his RN days or his CRNA days?!? Just that he lost his license because he did drugs. Why? Why not have an episode dedicated to this era of his life? If you’re going to paint this guy to be crazy then why not interview coworkers at those jobs instead of the dead ends he encountered with other endeavors. I need the full story not the long but skipped over main facts version with fluff. There’s no doubt he had issues but you definitely could have done a better job. I also have questions about the family. What were the professions of the grandmother and sister to John’s last wife (already forgot her name)? Also, you have smart kids but ones a former dog groomer (which sounds like she’s on disability now) and the other helps you in her mother’s office, but dropped out of real estate school because she was embarrassed by John’s harassing her and involving the school? Who cares. I need the background on this family because this dynamic has more to the story than what was told.
