Summary

Dee Dee Blanchard was found murdered in her home in June 2015, and her daughter, Gypsy, whom she had always touted as having special needs, was missing. Investigators would soon uncover that everything wasn’t as it seemed, and Gypsy, along with her boyfriend Nick, were arrested for murder. In this episode, we delve into Nick Godejohn’s murder trial. No one disputes that he was the killer, but the question of “why” takes center stage at trial.
