About this episode

Gypsy Rose Blancharde was a girl who had been told by her mother Dee Dee all her life that she was sick. Her mother even put her in a wheelchair from a very young age. There was one problem with all of this, Gypsy wasn't sick and she could walk just fine. This charade continued for many years, but as Gypsy became an adult she wanted out. And she conspired with her boyfriend to kill her mother.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the details of this bizarre but fascinating true crime tale. Dee Dee Blanchard, they would add the 'e" to their last name sometime later, displayed all the signs of Munchausen by proxy. But this is a case that will have yourself asking, "how could a mother do that to their child". At the same time you may be conflicted about the outcome of this case and wonder who the real victims is.
