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.
