Here’s How ‘The Walking Dead’ Saved a Woman’s Life

Date:

A woman learned how to kill someone by watching The Walking Dead.

Los Angeles Times reporter Chris Goffard’s six-part series Dirty John, centers around the story of Debra Newell, a 50-something businesswoman who ends unfailing in love with John Meehan, and marrying him despite her children’s wishes.

The two met through an online dating website and while Newell couldn’t see anything wrong with Meehan at first, both her daughters immediately felt like something was off with him. According to the report, Meehan was actually a con man.

Chris Goffard describes him: “He’s got the narcissism, a talent for deception, a callousness, a lack of empathy, and the sense that he can’t connect to human beings in any meaningful way,” the reporter told TheWrap. “His only real pleasure in life is inflicting maximum pain on other people.”

Meehan ended up becoming violent with Debra’s daughter.

Terra was a huge fan of The Walking Dead. She would pay attention to how the characters would kill off zombies and note how she too could use those tactics. In the series, the only way to kill a zombie is with a direct hit to the brain.

One day, Meehan reportedly ended up waiting for Terra to come home from work. After she parked her car, he came at her from behind and began stabbing her. After struggling for a second, Terra was able to get hold of the knife and began stabbing Meehan, until she eventually killed him.

“I guess that was my zombie kill,” Terra told Goffard. “You need to kill their brain. That’s what I did.”
