Finally Free | The Story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard
About this Episode
Timestamp (12:31)
Gypsy Rose Blanchard was born in July 1991. From the time she was an infant, her mother Dee Dee claimed that Gypsy was ill with conditions such as sleep apnea, leukemia and muscular dystrophy.
Gypsy lived her life in a wheelchair and endured many surgeries and rounds of medication.
Gypsy and Dee Dee were given a home in Springfield, Missouri after their home in Louisiana was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. By this time, Gypsy was an adult and was trying to break free from her mother’s control.
Gypsy met a man named Nicholas Godejohn online. Gypsy would eventually pay for Nicholas to travel to Missouri where the two would carry out their plan to kill Dee Dee and to free Gypsy.
After the murder, it was discovered that Gypsy had never been sick. Dee Dee had manipulated her daughter and health care professionals into believing that Gypsy was seriously ill.
Gypsy has recently been freed from prison after serving eight years for her role in the murder of her mother.
