Imagine living a life where every aspect of your existence, from your health to your age, is controlled by someone else. On this episode of Crime Tapes, we bring you the harrowing story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who endured years of fabricated illnesses imposed by her own mother, Dee Dee, suffering from Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Gypsy’s seemingly endless list of medical conditions was all a facade, a cruel manipulation by Dee Dee to garner sympathy and attention. Discover how Gypsy found solace on the internet, where she met Nicholas Godajon, and how their online connection pushed her to make a drastic decision to reclaim her freedom.

Join us as we recount the events that led to the shocking conclusion where Nicholas ended Dee Dee's control by taking her life. Gypsy’s journey doesn't end there. Despite being imprisoned, she found solace in her newfound sense of liberation. Now, with her release in December 2023, Gypsy is rebuilding her life with her father and stepmother in Louisiana, stepping into a new role as she prepares to become a mother herself. This episode is a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the dangers of unchecked power. Tune in for a deeply moving exploration of Gypsy’s story of survival and hope.
