Dirty John: The inside story of a true crime landmark

Debra Newell was ready to give up on love. By the fall of 2014, she’d been married and divorced four times and was reeling from a string of bad dates. But then she met John Meehan, and it seemed like her luck was finally changing. Meehan was a handsome doctor who doted on Newell. She fell in love almost immediately. Two months later, they were married. But Newell would eventually discover that Meehan wasn’t a charming doctor at all – he was a serial con artist with a violent past.

The kidnapping of Wenbo Jin: Why international students are being held for ransom

On January 21 2020, Wenbo Jin woke up just after 4 a.m. to the sounds of two men ransacking his apartment. The 24-year-old had left his home in China to study statistics at the University of Toronto.

Sins of the Child: Are parents responsible for the crimes of their children?

In 2015, the small town of Oxford, Michigan became the scene of a uniquely American nightmare: a school shooting. It was, tragically, like many of the mass shootings that had come before it. A lonely young man with access to guns and a history of mental illness. A number of warning signs that went unnoticed. But then, something happened that had never been done before: the prosecutors charged the shooter's parents, too. This week on Crime Story, I speak with Jessica Lowther, who unpacks this story in her new podcast Sins of the Child.
