- Synopsis:
The young woman serving a prison sentence for the murder of her mother - who kept her daughter confined to a wheelchair nearly her whole life due to made-up ailments - appears to be thriving in prison, even prompting a friend to describe the outcome of the murder and the conviction as a “happy ending” for Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who will remain in jail until at least 2024, when she will first be up for parole. Gypsy Rose was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2016 after she pleaded guilty to her role in the stabbing death of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a mental illness that typically results in parents or caregivers assigning false ailments and illnesses to those in their care. For most of her early life, Gypsy Rose and her doctors believed she suffered from a number of serious ailments, including cancer and muscular dystrophy, and that she was unable to take care of herself in any way. Dee Dee also told the girl she was several years younger than she actually was. After meeting a boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, on the internet, Gypsy convinced him that they could only be together if Dee Dee was out of the picture; and during a visit to their Missouri home in June 2015, Nicholas allegedly stabbed Dee Dee to death. He is still awaiting trial for Dee Dee’s murder. - Actors:
