Gypsy Rose Blanchard (RE-RELEASE) Dec 29, 2023

Show notes

We're kicking off our Cults Crimes and Conspiracy month with the disturbing case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. To the outside world, DeeDee Blancard was a dedicated, loving mother who took care of her gravely ill daughter, Gypsy Rose. Gypsy had been confined to a wheelchair since childhood and and had suffered from a range of serious illnesses, including leukemia and muscular dystrophy...Or so we thought. However, in June 2015, Dee Dee was found brutally murdered in the family's home. The investigation that followed revealed a shocking web of lies and deception that had been made by Dee Dee.
