It wasn't the Tesla he lit on fire, it was her Jag. I remember it at the time. He told me that it was stolen and blown up but that she did it for the insurance money. But his writing because difficult to decipher and I didn't know what the heck he was talking about. I re-read his emails and since it has all come out I understand now what he was trying to say.
But yeah, the story is world-wide. Unbelievable how big it's become. I need to get back to writing the book.
I think in her personal life, she is. I wish they portrayed more of her business savvy which she obviously has or else she wouldn't be so successful in her businesses.
It's interesting to me, as I was receiving blow by blow accounts from his side of the their relationship. Twisted to make him look like a victim no doubt, and I bore that in mind as it was occurring, but still interesting. Once I learned he was dead, I reached out to her and she was very open and kind. She was really in love with him, and although I think she was a mark to him, I think he did care for her on some level.

Contact the people / news media that is publishing the video and show and ask them but also contact the publishing companies with the hype they will want to get it out quick.

Actually a better way to start is with the person that interviewed you on Dirty John.

I have been writing down what I can remember and might try to turn it into a book.
I guess too isn't the right word. I just meant along with the podcast and show.
I think it's a great idea! I would love to read your book. I think thatd be a really great perspective to read about. Peopke wonder what people are like outside of the crimes they commit and how those around them perceived them.. if that makes sense.
Don't forget about tomorrow at 8 I think on Oxygen is Tonia's story along with other victims. I provided some pictures. One I'm in, wearing my wedding dress to my ex. Don't know if they'll include it but I signed a release.
I saw it, he was scary he was and only a matter of time before he was going to kill someone. Fortunately for the daughter she fought back and succeeded, no doubt he was planning on killing her.
What's strange is that of all her kids and nephews with whom he traded insults, he hated her the most and blamed her the most for the demise of his marriage.
Did anyone watch last night? Oxygen aired the stories from other victims, including the best friend he flipped on over the cocaine bust.
We watched part of it. Probably going to finish up tonight. G was BLOWN away! However, the girl that played Terra (that I LOVE) looked way smaller than the actual Terra.

Oh, the actual Terra was always a bit chubby but both her and Debra have put on a lot of weight since this all happened. A couple of his other victims who spoke did, too, and really aged. I wonder if the stress of their experience caused them to pack it on? I remember right after it happened I reached out to Debra to find out how he died and Debra sent me pictures of her family and Terra and talked about how tiny she was and how surprising it was that she could defend herself given the size difference and I showed my husband and he said "tiny"? The only thing tiny about her was her height I think. But good for her that she was able to survive!
It's funny. A guy I share an office with and I chat about the latest series we are watching and such. He and his wife like the reality murder mysteries and crime as I do. Monday he told me I had to check out this series they were watching, you guessed it Dirty John. I snickered and told him that a friend new him. Gave him a few of the details.

It amazes me how infamous he has become. I belong to a couple of Dirty John Discussion groups on FB and there are people around the world on it. On the one hand he would be mortified if he knew the wives and girlfriends were comparing notes, but on the other hand, he did say the things he has done would make for a syndicated show.
They used so many pictures I gave them, except the one with me in it. Did you notice the one with the Washington Monument in the background? That was the last time I saw him, when he visited in 1998.
