Daniel eventually died of a drug overdose in September 2000 in Santa Cruz. Even though Luke wasn’t able to make a criminal case on that charge, his investigation led to Meehan pleading guilty to felony drug theft two years later.
Meehan’s Family Had Ties To The Mob
John often bragged about having connections to the mob. While Meehan may have learned to be a con artist from his father, it’s believed that his uncle was a hitman. He is also noted to have had ties to the Italian-American mobster Albert Anastasia, one of the biggest crime lords of the 20th century.

Maggart claimed John came back with a vial of drugs, wrapped around a belt around his ankle, and he inserted the drugs into his own body. Feeling that he was in danger, she took him a hospital and she left Mexico while he was still admitted. Once Maggart was home, Meehan’s gym bag fell out of her luggage with vials spilling out.
