Dirty John – More About the Deceptions and Downfall of John Meehan

5. Crimes He Likely Committed But Was Not Charged For

So Meehan’s documented crimes, which is already a long list, do not include certain chilling accusations. He looked for a hitman to kill his ex-wife and the cops investigating him after his arrest on drug-related charges.

John Meehan sent drugs to his 44-year old brother Daniel who soon after died of an overdose. The detectives found some compelling evidence of John’s involvement in Daniel’s death but never filed charges.

As suggested in the show, his real-life sister Donna was very suspicious of John’s involvement in the death of their father. She suspected that he might’ve injected him with fentanyl.

When Debra and John got married, he had 3 standing restraining orders and at least 3 additional women requesting one.

His coworkers also claimed that he brought a gun into an operating room when he was being investigated for stealing drugs.
