I watched this 3x That GOOD
I watch this the first time and thought to myself how she doesn't know he is playing her? The daughters are trying to warn her? It was very interesting,How manipulating he was. A few years later I actually found myself in the same situation & my ex was (John) was doing the very same thing to me. He very sauce and their debonair. He knew what to say, and I married him. Not knowing he did his research to find out what he was gaining. One day I found myself on the floor semiconscious going into septic shock. He did not call 911 but left me there. A friend came to check on me called 911 and I went into respiratory failure as soon as I got to the ER. I was in ICU for five days fighting for my life. Only to find out he was trying to get a DNR signed and a POA signed. What he had to gain were two homes and a half acre I owned and everything in it even though we were divorced. After a 5yr battle I won the judgment with him being an order out of the house immediately.
However, he chose to not comply with the Deputy with the constable's office and three Metro police officers. In the five years, he has destroyed the property as he turned it into a junkyard with 18 vehicles on the property. He used a revoked POA, he copy and pasted names and dollar amounts to his bank statement, copy and pasted my name and the notary to a quick claim deed, but it was never recorded the list goes on. To this day, August 21, 2025 I'm going back to court so the judge can order a warrant for his arrest. The scary part is he's an insurance salesman for health, life, and annuities.
He has a Utah DL and a Nevada DL my family members and friends who have walked this journey with me, have said that this is something that would be on a lifetime channel.

Eye-opening film about hidden abuse
Ever wonder why women don't "just leave" abusive relationships? Watch this series and find out. Three women per *day* are murdered in the United States by someone they know. Often their killer is a former intimate partner and the murder takes place within a month to a year after the victim leaves the relationship. This series explains how people like John use coercive control tactics (Google it) to manipulate and abuse victims using methods that are immoral but do not break the law. This film also illustrates how it's difficult for victims of coercive control to obtain meaningful help from the police, why a restraining order can escalate violence, and most frighteningly, why it's difficult for victims to obtain legal help; It's not due to lack of financial resources-something much more terrifying. This happens every day right under our noses. This could be happening to you, your sister, a co-worker, or a next-door neighbor. Enlighten yourself.
beware
Its a hilarious story of womanhunting,greed,manipulaton, and as it seems from this documentary,a very toothless american judicial system, and a lack of will and manpower by law enforcers to deal with internet predators like john.
its the dum and stupid v.s. the bad and ruthless, in oxygen style and at oxygen level. you get what you pay for. watch it and behold and beware,you may be the next.

Definitely worth watching!
Gripping from start to finish. It's a story that's scary and intriguing.
How Dumb is Debbie?
I get that Debbie was manipulated and used etc... But after the third or fourth time that Debbie read police reports, threatening texts from John, mugshots, cars being set on fire and so on, enough is enough Debbie. But she keeps going back to him? What a moron Debbie must be. Debbie hides for 23 days, lives in hotel rooms, moves, drives a different car, all to hide from John. Then John texts Debbie and she goes to visit him in the hospital and feels sorry for him? I think she got what she deserved, if she's that naive. When a man threatens to make one of your children disappear and you're still with him, you've got some major issues of your own Deb.
