It's the sinister truth of Munchhausen by proxy. (The Disturbing Truth Behind ‘Mommy Dead and Dearest') (Other True Cases of Munchhausen by Proxy) *** It was 1909, and Bud and Temple Abernathy rode their horses, just the two of them, from Oklahoma to Santa Fe… and then made the return trip home. A 1,300-mile horseback trip. Big deal you say? That's what life was like back then, you say? What if I told you that Bud was only 9 years old, and Temple was only five?

A small, quiet town in Missouri. A devoted mother caring for her chronically ill daughter. A story of love, sacrifice, and survival. Or so it seemed. But behind closed doors, beneath the layers of sympathy and kindness, there was a dark secret waiting to be uncovered. For nearly two decades Dee Dee Blanchard told the world that her daughter, Gypsy Rose, was dying. Leukemia, muscular dystrophy, seizures, vision and hearing issues, the list of illnesses and medical concerns was endless. Gypsy, a seemingly happy little girl with a huge smile, was bound to a wheelchair, fed through a tube, and showered with the attention and support of everyone around her, but no one really knew the horrifying truth. It seemed that Gypsy was perfectly healthy. She could walk. She didn't need a wheelchair to get around, and it appeared that she was being kept a prisoner in her own body, in her own home, by her own mother. The story goes that years of abuse, manipulation, and lies built up until they all came crashing down in the most unthinkable way: Murder. On the night of June 14, 2015, Dee Dee Blanchard was found stabbed to death in her home, and the prime suspect? Dee-Dee's innocent, smiling, happy, and allegedly disabled daughter, along with the man that Gypsy had been having a very adult relationship with. But nothing about this case is as it appears to be. This is the story of Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard.

The Moore family was an affluent family located in the town of Villisca, Iowa. They were well-known and well-liked in town. So when all 6 of them, along with 2 young guests, were found bludgeoned in their own home one morning in 1912, people had no idea who would have committed such a crime. Was this heinous crime committed for some financial motive, or could it have been a serial-killer going on a murder spree through the town? Sources: 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villisca_axe_murders 2) https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/2022/06/09/1912-villisca-ax-murders-what-to-know-iowa-cold-case/7567590001/3) https://www.traveliowa.com/places/villisca-axe-murder-house/201/#:~:text=Curated%20guided%20tours%20are%20available,restoration%2C%20plus%20see%20authentic%20mementos.Support the Show.

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! We're watching the results of the New Hampshire Republican primary come in over the course of this show, but tbh, there were no big surprises. Friend of the show and host of Shaken and Disturbed John Thrasher is back with us this week to talk about the intersection of true crime and stan culture. We ask John to specifically look at the recent release of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who served 8 years in prison on second degree murder charges in the killing of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Gypsy Rose has seemingly gone from inmate to influencer overnight. Is there a pipeline from prison to fame? After the initial spike in interest and popularity, some of the social media tides seem to be shifting as more detractors speak up about the attention and celebrity being afforded to Gypsy Rose. Does stan culture in general infantilize high-profile people and make their hardcore fans operate under the delusion that they can do no wrong? We touch on famous figures we used to stan and when and why those shifts happened for us. Are we guilty of confirmation bias? This week's recommendations are across the board: "American Nightmare" on Netflix (Laura), Love's travel stops for a delightful roadtrip experience (Andrew), StoryGraph for reading recommendations (Pam), and Pokémon Go for the throwback and motivation to get outside (John). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Friendship bitch fest! We love our friends, but they're not always the best at communicating or making plans. "I don't know what to do for my boyfriend's birthday, can you give me ideas? Also you're not invited." PSA: A friend agreeing to be in your wedding is doing you a favor. Be respectful of their time and communicate what you need from them in advance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the ever-evolving narrative of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the lines between victim and perpetrator blur, raising profound questions about justice, redemption, and human relationships. The "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski with guest former Felony Prosecutor Eric Faddis, recently delved into this complex story, exploring the fate of Gypsy Rose and her former boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn.    Gypsy Rose, a victim of severe abuse at the hands of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, found a controversial path to freedom through the murder of her mother, facilitated by Godejohn. While Gypsy is now a free woman, Godejohn remains incarcerated for life. Faddis remarked on the disparity, "Usually when there is a hit put out... both of those individuals are held responsible." This case, however, presents a stark contrast in outcomes.    The podcast also touched on the potential for Godejohn's legal team to have sought a plea deal, considering the evidence stacked against him. Faddis noted the influence of true crime documentaries and podcasts in shaping public perception and possibly affecting legal outcomes, suggesting that such media could play a role in Godejohn's future.    Another intriguing aspect of Gypsy Rose's story is her new relationship, formed while she was incarcerated. Faddis described the commonality of such relationships, especially in high-profile cases, but questioned their healthiness. "It's shockingly common," he said, noting the mystique surrounding individuals like Gypsy Rose.    The relationship dynamics are particularly noteworthy given the power differential that exists when one partner is incarcerated. Faddis expressed concern about how this dynamic might evolve now that Gypsy Rose is free. "Does that power differential shift, or is he sort of still going to be lording things over her?" he pondered.    Brueski highlighted the peculiar nature of Gypsy Rose's new relationship, especially considering her husband's previous occupation as a teacher for disabled children and his fascination with the "Mommy Dead and Dearest" documentary. This raises questions about his motives and the health of their relationship.    As Gypsy Rose navigates her newfound freedom, the world watches with bated breath. Her story, a blend of tragedy and hope, continues to captivate and confound. Will Gypsy Rose find true redemption and a healthy relationship in her new life, or will the shadows of her past and the complexities of her current relationship dictate her future? Only time will tell in this ongoing saga of love, crime, and the quest for justice. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Gypsy Rose Blanchard: Breaking Patterns and Seeking a Healthy Path Forward Can someone who has lived a life dominated by manipulation and control find a way to break free from destructive patterns? This is the central question explored in a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott discuss the complex case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard.    Gypsy Rose, known for her involvement in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who subjected her to years of abuse and deception, faces the challenge of breaking free from the patterns instilled in her. Brueski and Scott delve into the difficulties Gypsy Rose faces in adjusting to a normal life after being imprisoned by her mother and then by the law.    Scott points out that Gypsy Rose's tendency to live in fantasy, a legacy from her mother, is a significant hurdle. "She doesn't know what's real... She's still looking for Prince Charming," Scott says, highlighting Gypsy Rose's lack of experience with real-world norms and relationships. Despite not exhibiting her mother's cruelty, Gypsy Rose's distorted perception of reality and relationships poses a challenge to her development.    The discussion also touches on the role of Gypsy Rose's father and stepmother in her life. While they appear supportive, Scott expresses concern about their ability to provide the parenting Gypsy Rose needs. "Developmentally she's thinking like a 14, 15-year-old right now," Scott explains, emphasizing the need for more active and involved parenting to guide her.    Brueski expresses skepticism about the support system around Gypsy Rose, particularly her father's passive approach. "How did he not ever question the mother more specifically?" Brueski asks, pointing to potential red flags in the family dynamics.    As the episode concludes, the question remains: Can Gypsy Rose Blanchard, with the support of her family and despite her challenging past, navigate a path towards a healthier and more stable life? Her story, as discussed in "Hidden Killers," serves as a poignant reminder of the long-lasting impact of childhood trauma and the complexities involved in overcoming deeply ingrained patterns of behavior.

In the ever-evolving narrative of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the lines between victim and perpetrator blur, raising profound questions about justice, redemption, and human relationships. The "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski with guest former Felony Prosecutor Eric Faddis, recently delved into this complex story, exploring the fate of Gypsy Rose and her former boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn.    Gypsy Rose, a victim of severe abuse at the hands of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, found a controversial path to freedom through the murder of her mother, facilitated by Godejohn. While Gypsy is now a free woman, Godejohn remains incarcerated for life. Faddis remarked on the disparity, "Usually when there is a hit put out... both of those individuals are held responsible." This case, however, presents a stark contrast in outcomes.    The podcast also touched on the potential for Godejohn's legal team to have sought a plea deal, considering the evidence stacked against him. Faddis noted the influence of true crime documentaries and podcasts in shaping public perception and possibly affecting legal outcomes, suggesting that such media could play a role in Godejohn's future.    Another intriguing aspect of Gypsy Rose's story is her new relationship, formed while she was incarcerated. Faddis described the commonality of such relationships, especially in high-profile cases, but questioned their healthiness. "It's shockingly common," he said, noting the mystique surrounding individuals like Gypsy Rose.    The relationship dynamics are particularly noteworthy given the power differential that exists when one partner is incarcerated.

The Intriguing Dynamics of Gypsy Rose Blanchard's Relationship: A Psychotherapist's Perspective  What lies beneath the surface of a relationship formed under the most unusual circumstances? This question is at the heart of a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski and psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott delve into the complex relationship dynamics of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her husband, who initiated contact while she was incarcerated.    Gypsy Rose Blanchard, known for her involvement in the murder of her abusive mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, has become a figure of public fascination. Her marriage, initiated through correspondence while she was in prison, raises questions about the psychological profiles of those who seek relationships with prisoners. Scott, with her expertise in psychology, unpacks this dynamic, noting that it often involves individuals with low self-esteem who find a captive audience in prisoners.    The husband, who worked with disabled children, expressed his attraction to Gypsy, a fact that Scott finds disturbing. "It's usually someone that has often very low self-esteem... A prisoner represents a captive audience," Scott explains, suggesting that such relationships are generally not healthy. She points out that these individuals are often prone to fantasy, particularly a rescue fantasy, where they see themselves as a savior to the prisoner.    Brueski and Scott discuss the potential for control and power dynamics in Gypsy's relationship. Given her lack of real-world skills and experience, her husband assumes a paternal role, which may initially suit Gypsy but could lead to issues as she matures. Scott observes, "He's going to be in this father position," indicating a potential imbalance in their relationship.    The conversation also touches on the husband's perception of himself as Gypsy's "Prince Charming," a notion Scott finds unrealistic. "That's not how relationships work," Brueski remarks, highlighting the incongruence in their relationship's foundation.    As the episode concludes, Scott expresses concern about the layers beneath the husband's affable presentation. The relationship, formed under the spotlight of public attention and Gypsy's dependency, raises questions about its long-term viability and healthiness.    Listeners are left pondering the complexities of relationships formed in extraordinary circumstances. Can a relationship that begins with one partner in prison and the other seeking a sense of importance and control evolve into a healthy, balanced partnership? The case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, as explored in "Hidden Killers," serves as a stark reminder of the intricate and often hidden layers that define human connections, especially those forged in the shadows of trauma and public scrutiny.

Unraveling the Complexities of Gypsy Rose Blanchard's Life: A Journey from Victim to Convict. How does one navigate the murky waters of truth and fabrication in a life as complex as Gypsy Rose Blanchard's? This question forms the core of a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski and psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott delve into the intricacies of Gypsy's life, from her abuse at the hands of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, to her current status as a convict and a subject of public fascination.    Gypsy Rose Blanchard's story is a harrowing tale of abuse and murder. She transitioned from being a victim of her mother's Munchausen syndrome by proxy to being imprisoned for Dee Dee's murder, alongside her boyfriend, Nick Godejohn. Interestingly, her imprisonment led to a surge in romantic interest, culminating in her marriage behind bars.    The discussion takes a turn when Brueski brings up the allegations of sexual abuse by Gypsy's grandfather, a claim that has raised eyebrows and skepticism. Scott, with her expertise in psychology, finds the grandfather's reaction to these allegations particularly telling. "He had the thing that hit me was his quick flip to, 'Oh no, she tried to touch me,' and I had to tell her not to do that," Scott remarks, noting that this is a common defense among pedophiles.    The conversation then shifts to the broader context of Gypsy's upbringing in a toxic environment. Scott suggests that Dee Dee's bizarre and sadistic behavior likely stemmed from multi-generational dysfunction. The family's abnormal reactions, including the grandfather's suggestion to dispose of Dee Dee's ashes in a toilet, further underscore the dysfunction.    Looking ahead, Brueski and Scott ponder the ideal path for Gypsy if she seeks a normal life outside the spotlight. Scott advocates for a transitional program involving therapy, vocational training, and supervised living, rather than rushing into family life. "There's so much internal work that needs to happen to help her learn what reality is," Scott emphasizes.    The episode concludes with a reflection on the potential dangers of Gypsy starting a family without addressing her complex psychological needs. The risk of perpetuating destructive patterns is high, making a structured, therapeutic approach crucial for her future.    As listeners are left contemplating the tragic trajectory of Gypsy Rose Blanchard's life, one question lingers: Can someone deeply entangled in a web of abuse, deception, and crime find a path to a healthy and normal life, or are the scars too deep to overcome? The case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, as explored in "Hidden Killers," serves as a stark reminder of the long-lasting impact of familial dysfunction and the challenges of breaking free from its grasp.

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.  In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss case of Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard.

In the intricate and emotionally charged case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, how do the scales of justice balance between understanding and accountability? This question forms the crux of a compelling discussion on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer. Their conversation delves deep into the roles and repercussions faced by Gypsy Rose, her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn, and the tragic figure of Dee Dee Blanchard.    Gypsy Rose Blanchard's story is a convoluted tapestry of abuse, manipulation, and murder. Now a free woman, her case continues to raise questions about the nature of justice and rehabilitation. Coffindaffer reflects on this, noting Gypsy's plight: "She was charged, convicted in a plea deal, and served the time allotted... she should be considered completely free." This acknowledgment of Gypsy's judicial process underscores her right to move forward post-incarceration.    However, the fate of Nicholas Godejohn, who carried out the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard at Gypsy's behest, casts a shadow over the case. Brueski and Coffindaffer discuss the potential shortcomings in Godejohn's legal representation and whether his life sentence without parole is just, given his cognitive challenges and manipulation by Gypsy. "He definitely was beguiled... I just think it's wrong," Coffindaffer asserts, questioning the fairness of his punishment and the possibility of a retrial or parole.    The duo also addresses the critical aspect of accountability in the case. Despite Gypsy's history of extreme abuse, they acknowledge that both she and Godejohn were aware of their actions. "They did know what they were doing," Brueski states, presenting a complex scenario where victimhood and culpability intertwine.    Turning to Gypsy's mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, the conversation touches on the horrifying reality of Munchausen by proxy syndrome. Coffindaffer points out the physical and mental toll on Gypsy, evident in photographs and interviews, painting a stark picture of her manipulation and control by Dee Dee. This aspect brings to light the broader implications of such psychological abuse on victims.    The case has also brought more awareness to the rare but serious condition of Munchausen by proxy. Brueski and Coffindaffer speculate on its prevalence and the challenges in diagnosing such cases. "It's such a slippery slope in really being able to evaluate is somebody really sick or is she not?" Coffindaffer remarks, highlighting the difficulty in identifying and addressing this form of abuse.    In conclusion, the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case, as discussed by Brueski and Coffindaffer, is more than a sensational story of crime and punishment. It's a lens through which we examine the intricacies of legal representation, mental health, and the impact of severe abuse. As Gypsy navigates her newfound freedom and Godejohn serves his sentence, the question lingers: Can justice ever be truly served in cases mired in such complex psychological and legal webs? This enduring question invites us to reflect on the nuances of the legal system and the human psyche in circumstances that defy simple categorization. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

How does the legal system navigate the murky waters of a case where the lines between victim and perpetrator are blurred? This is the central theme of a riveting discussion on "Hidden Killers," a podcast hosted by Tony Brueski. Joining him is defense attorney Bob Motta, host of "Defense Diaries," to unravel the complex case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Nicholas Godejohn.    Gypsy Rose Blanchard's story is well-known: her harrowing life of abuse at the hands of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, culminating in orchestrating her mother's murder. However, the focus of this podcast episode is Nicholas Godejohn, the man who carried out the stabbing and is serving a life sentence without parole. Brueski poses a poignant question: "Is it a flaw in the system that Gypsy Rose is free while Godejohn faces life in prison?"    Motta, with his legal expertise, sheds light on the intricacies of this case. He acknowledges Godejohn's mental health issues and low IQ but doesn't necessarily see his life sentence as just. Motta argues, "There's an argument to be made no matter what his motive was... his motive was kind of pure." He compares Gypsy's psychological torture to other high-profile cases, asserting the severity of her situation.    The discussion also touches on the legal and moral complexities of Gypsy Rose profiting from her story. Motta sees no issue with this, distinguishing her case from typical applications of Son of Sam laws. "She survived it. She did her time on it, and it was time that the state thought was ample," Motta states, supporting her right to tell her story and benefit from it.    Motta points out that Godejohn's situation could have been handled differently, blaming his representation for not mitigating the sentence effectively. He draws parallels to the Jennifer Van Nunen case, where a plea agreement led to a more lenient sentence for a similar crime. Motta believes that every case should be evaluated based on its unique circumstances, implying that Godejohn's sentence might be overly harsh given the context.    Brueski and Motta's conversation raises essential questions about the legal system's handling of complex cases like Gypsy Rose's. Motta's perspective as a defense attorney provides insight into the nuances of legal defense, plea bargaining, and the role of a defendant's mental state in determining their sentence.    In closing, Motta expresses his satisfaction with the outcome of Gypsy's case, despite the complexities and controversies surrounding it. He stands firm on her right to share her story and earn from it, given the unprecedented abuse she endured and the time she served.    This discussion on "Hidden Killers" leaves us pondering a critical question: In a legal system where black-and-white judgments are the norm, how do we ensure fairness and justice in cases that exist in a moral and legal grey area? The case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Nicholas Godejohn challenges us to think deeply about the intricacies of justice, mental health, and the role of the legal system in addressing crimes born out of extreme circumstances.

"They did know what they were doing," Brueski states, presenting a complex scenario where victimhood and culpability intertwine.    Turning to Gypsy's mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, the conversation touches on the horrifying reality of Munchausen by proxy syndrome. Coffindaffer points out the physical and mental toll on Gypsy, evident in photographs and interviews, painting a stark picture of her manipulation and control by Dee Dee. This aspect brings to light the broader implications of such psychological abuse on victims.    The case has also brought more awareness to the rare but serious condition of Munchausen by proxy. Brueski and Coffindaffer speculate on its prevalence and the challenges in diagnosing such cases. "It's such a slippery slope in really being able to evaluate is somebody really sick or is she not?" Coffindaffer remarks, highlighting the difficulty in identifying and addressing this form of abuse.    In conclusion, the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case, as discussed by Brueski and Coffindaffer, is more than a sensational story of crime and punishment. It's a lens through which we examine the intricacies of legal representation, mental health, and the impact of severe abuse. As Gypsy navigates her newfound freedom and Godejohn serves his sentence, the question lingers: Can justice ever be truly served in cases mired in such complex psychological and legal webs? This enduring question invites us to reflect on the nuances of the legal system and the human psyche in circumstances that defy simple categorization. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

How does the legal system navigate the murky waters of a case where the lines between victim and perpetrator are blurred? This is the central theme of a riveting discussion on "Hidden Killers," a podcast hosted by Tony Brueski. Joining him is defense attorney Bob Motta, host of "Defense Diaries," to unravel the complex case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Nicholas Godejohn.    Gypsy Rose Blanchard's story is well-known: her harrowing life of abuse at the hands of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, culminating in orchestrating her mother's murder. However, the focus of this podcast episode is Nicholas Godejohn, the man who carried out the stabbing and is serving a life sentence without parole. Brueski poses a poignant question: "Is it a flaw in the system that Gypsy Rose is free while Godejohn faces life in prison?"    Motta, with his legal expertise, sheds light on the intricacies of this case. He acknowledges Godejohn's mental health issues and low IQ but doesn't necessarily see his life sentence as just. Motta argues, "There's an argument to be made no matter what his motive was... his motive was kind of pure." He compares Gypsy's psychological torture to other high-profile cases, asserting the severity of her situation.    The discussion also touches on the legal and moral complexities of Gypsy Rose profiting from her story. Motta sees no issue with this, distinguishing her case from typical applications of Son of Sam laws. "She survived it. She did her time on it, and it was time that the state thought was ample," Motta states, supporting her right to tell her story and benefit from it.    Motta points out that Godejohn's situation could have been handled differently, blaming his representation for not mitigating the sentence effectively. He draws parallels to the Jennifer Van Nunen case, where a plea agreement led to a more lenient sentence for a similar crime. Motta believes that every case should be evaluated based on its unique circumstances, implying that Godejohn's sentence might be overly harsh given the context.    Brueski and Motta's conversation raises essential questions about the legal system's handling of complex cases like Gypsy Rose's. Motta's perspective as a defense attorney provides insight into the nuances of legal defense, plea bargaining, and the role of a defendant's mental state in determining their sentence.    In closing, Motta expresses his satisfaction with the outcome of Gypsy's case, despite the complexities and controversies surrounding it. He stands firm on her right to share her story and earn from it, given the unprecedented abuse she endured and the time she served.    This discussion on "Hidden Killers" leaves us pondering a critical question: In a legal system where black-and-white judgments are the norm, how do we ensure fairness and justice in cases that exist in a moral and legal grey area? The case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Nicholas Godejohn challenges us to think deeply about the intricacies of justice, mental health, and the role of the legal system in addressing crimes born out of extreme circumstances.

How does a case of severe child abuse hidden under the guise of a caring mother's concern slip past the watchful eyes of the medical community? This question lies at the heart of a riveting discussion on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski with guest Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author. Their conversation delves into the chilling case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was subjected to years of abuse by her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, due to Munchausen by proxy syndrome.    Gypsy Rose's story is a labyrinth of deception and suffering. Dee Dee convinced her daughter and the world that Gypsy Rose was afflicted with multiple ailments and diseases, leading to invasive surgeries and a life tethered to a feeding tube. Scott explains the complexity of Munchausen by proxy, highlighting how perpetrators like Dee Dee manipulate the medical system. "Doctors don't always go in with the expectation that a parent is causing these symptoms... They tend to take parents at their word," she says, shedding light on how Dee Dee's elaborate lies went unchecked.    The discussion raises critical questions about the medical community's responsibility and the challenges in detecting such cases. The recent Maya Kowalski trial is cited, where a hospital red-flagged a case as potential Munchausen by proxy. Scott notes, "Doctors are going to be terrified... even when they suspect something, they're going to be very hesitant about making a report," emphasizing the fear of repercussions that can deter medical professionals from reporting suspicions.    The rarity of Munchausen by proxy is also debated. While often considered uncommon, Scott suggests that it might be underdiagnosed, with more subtle cases going unnoticed. "There are probably a lot of more subtle cases... maybe where the parent is not doing much damage to the child, but it's more amplifying symptoms," she remarks, hinting at a spectrum of severity in such cases.    Dee Dee Blanchard's motivations and psychological profile are a subject of intrigue. Scott points to a mix of genetics and environmental factors contributing to such behaviors. "Somebody has grown up with a very, very warped identity... probably not in an ideal environment," she explains, suggesting a complex interplay of innate predispositions and external influences in shaping Dee Dee's actions.    The conversation also touches upon the aftermath of such abuse. Gypsy Rose, now free, faces the daunting task of integrating into a world she barely knows, carrying the scars of her traumatic past. Brueski reflects on this challenge, "It's scary to see what the world may hold ahead for Gypsy Rose herself, knowing her background."    In conclusion, the "Hidden Killers" podcast episode with Shavaun Scott offers a profound insight into the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case. It not only exposes the harrowing realities of Munchausen by proxy but also challenges the medical community to be more vigilant. As Gypsy Rose steps into a new chapter of her life, one can't help but ponder: Can society provide a safe haven for survivors of such extreme manipulation, and how can we prevent similar tragedies in the future? This thought-provoking question invites us to contemplate the broader implications of the Blanchard case and our collective role in safeguarding the vulnerable.

What does freedom truly mean for someone who has never experienced it in its purest form? This question resonates deeply in the case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, recently released after serving eight and a half years for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Her story, as discussed in the podcast "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, unfolds a narrative that challenges our understanding of victimhood, justice, and rehabilitation.    Gypsy Rose Blanchard, now 32, steps into a world vastly different from the confines she knew. As Brueski states, "She's 32 years old and for the first time is truly free." Her life, previously dictated by the whims of her mother's Munchausen by proxy syndrome, transitioned abruptly to prison. This shift, as Dreeke observes, is akin to moving "from 0 to 100," a precarious leap for anyone, let alone someone with Gypsy's traumatic background.    The podcast delves into the complexities of Gypsy's persona. Despite being a victim of severe abuse, Gypsy never embraced the victim narrative. "She took command. She took control," Dreeke notes, highlighting the paradox of her situation. Her story, fraught with manipulation and deceit by her mother, including forced surgeries and claims of fabricated illnesses, paints a harrowing picture of psychological torment.    Interestingly, Gypsy's confession to the murder contrasts starkly with the denial often seen in similar cases. Dreeke points out, "She confesses, I did it. I didn't know what to do." This admission adds another layer to her already complex narrative, eliciting both sympathy and concern for her future.    The podcast also addresses the potential dangers of Gypsy's newfound freedom. Brueski expresses concern about her immersion into the world of social media and public opinion, noting, "This could go really wrong really fast." Dreeke echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of having "good, healthy people" in her life. The fear is that, given her history of being surrounded by manipulative individuals, Gypsy may struggle to navigate this new landscape.    Moreover, Dreeke warns of the pitfalls of rapid fame, drawing parallels to lottery winners who often face ruin due to their sudden wealth. He advises caution and the gradual building of a support system, highlighting the necessity of "healthy people" who can offer guidance and balance.    As Gypsy embarks on this new chapter, her actions and choices are under intense scrutiny. Her involvement in various projects, including a book and a TV series, raises questions about the motives and implications of capitalizing on her tragic story. "It's her story to tell," Brueski acknowledges, but the concern remains that it might not lead to a healthy, sustainable future.    Brueski and Dreeke's conversation pivots to Gypsy's personal life, particularly her marriage to someone who reached out to her while she was in prison. This decision, they suggest, might be indicative of her continued vulnerability to unhealthy relationships.    In closing, the podcast leaves us pondering the delicate balance between justice and empathy, freedom and responsibility. Gypsy Rose Blanchard's story, a confluence of victimization and culpability, prompts us to consider the complexities of human behavior and the societal structures that shape it.    As we reflect on Gypsy's journey, a final thought-provoking question lingers: Can someone truly break free from a past riddled with manipulation and abuse, and if so, at what cost? This question, central to Gypsy Rose Blanchard's narrative, remains unanswered, challenging our perceptions of justice, rehabilitation, and the human spirit's resilience.

How does one navigate the complexities of a life shaped by profound abuse and deception? This question lies at the heart of the "Hidden Killers" podcast discussion between host Tony Brueski and Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author. Their conversation delves deep into the harrowing case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, a young woman who, at 32, is experiencing freedom for the first time after enduring years of horrific child abuse by her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, who suffered from Munchausen by proxy.    Gypsy Rose's story is not just a tale of victimhood but also a study in the psychological complexities of Munchausen by proxy. Scott explains, "It's more insidious when it's imposed on a child... Often the mother has some kind of healthcare or medical background." Dee Dee Blanchard, who convinced Gypsy Rose of having multiple ailments and diseases, represents a severe case of this disorder. Her actions, ranging from feeding poison to causing wounds, were driven by a twisted need for attention and the role of a caregiver.    The discussion illuminates the dual motives driving perpetrators of Munchausen by proxy. "They enjoy the dependency of the child... and have a histrionic personality quality where they just have to be in the spotlight," Scott points out. This need for attention was further fueled in Dee Dee's case by public recognition from organizations like Make A Wish and Habitat for Humanity, adding layers of complexity to her actions.    However, the path to treatment and recovery for individuals like Dee Dee is bleak. Scott soberly notes, "Are they ever going to be a functional normal person? No, probably not." The best outcome often involves intervention by the medical system and social services, leading to the child's removal from the abusive environment and the parent's supervised treatment away from children.    Gypsy Rose's case also raises questions about the legal system's handling of such intricate situations. Her role in her mother's murder, instigated through manipulation of her boyfriend, Nick Godejohn, and her subsequent imprisonment, highlights the intersection of legal justice and moral ambiguity. Brueski questions, "Is there a way out when we're talking about someone like who Dee was?" pointing to the tragic inevitability of such cases.    The discussion concludes with a reflection on Gypsy Rose's current life. Brueski expresses concern about her integration into society, given her lack of real-world experience and the publicity surrounding her case. The conversation serves as a reminder of the long-term effects of severe abuse and the challenges faced by survivors in rebuilding their lives.    In sum, the "Hidden Killers" podcast episode with Shavaun Scott provides a poignant insight into the case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. It explores the psychological underpinnings of Munchausen by proxy, the impact of prolonged abuse on a child's development, and the complex path to justice and recovery. As Gypsy Rose navigates her newfound freedom, one can't help but wonder: Can a life so deeply scarred by manipulation and deceit ever find true liberation and peace? This lingering question invites us to ponder the long-term implications of such profound abuse and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

More than two years shy of her ten year sentence, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is free. Blanchard was convicted of second-degree murder after she admitted to having her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, kill her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. Now she is out from behind bars at the Chillicothe Correctional Center.   Dee Dee Blanchard is believed to have suffered from Munchausen by proxy — which caused forcing her daughter to use a wheelchair and subjecting her to unnecessary medical treatments, all to foster attention to Dee Dee herself. Before the murder, Gypsy Rose Blanchard's mother allegedly isolated her and tied her to a bed to stop her from escaping.     Gypsy Rose Blanchard is now married, picked up from prison by her husband.  Her book — “Released: Conversations on the Eve of Freedom” — is expected to come out on January 9.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released from prison last week on parole, serving 8 years out of a 10-year prison sentence for her involvement in the second-degree murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. For years, Dee Dee forced Gypsy to pretend that she was suffering from leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and other serious illnesses.  Now that Gypsy is free, Kennedy lists all the activities that she should indulge in after 8 years behind bars.   Follow Kennedy on Twitter: @KennedyNation Kennedy Now Available on YouTube: https://bit.ly/4311mhD.

It's the sinister truth of Munchausen by proxy. (The Disturbing Truth Behind ‘Mommy Dead and Dearest') (Other True Cases of Munchausen by Proxy) *** It was 1909, and Bud and Temple Abernathy rode their horses, just the two of them, from Oklahoma to Santa Fe… and then made the return trip home. A 1,300-mile horseback trip. Big deal you say? That's what life was like back then, you say? What if I told you that Bud was only 9 years old, and Temple was only five?

*This is a part 2, so if you haven't listened to part one, do so now* In this Part of the strange saga of the Blanchard women we take a in depth look at the copious medical disorders Dee Dee claimed Gypsy had, and the treatments she suffered because of them. We follow the thin pathway of logic Dee Dee used to convince doctors of Gypsy's imaginary ailments, and attempt to demonstrate how she arrived at the illnesses she chose. Most importantly we will explore just how a case like Gypsy's could have slipped through the cracks for as long as it did and reveal what became of Gypsy and Nick in the aftermath of the crime. This is the good stuff fiends, there's a lot to learn in this one and we hope you enjoy it.
