Summary

In one of the most bizarre and heartbreaking cases in true crime history, Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s story is one that still sparks debate to this day. A young girl, seemingly battling a lifetime of severe illnesses, trapped in a wheelchair, and under the constant care of her devoted mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. But behind closed doors, things were far from what they seemed…

Dee Dee had spent years fabricating Gypsy’s illnesses, forcing unnecessary medical procedures, and crafting an elaborate web of deception built on Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. But when Gypsy uncovered the truth, she did something no one saw coming - she plotted her mother’s murder.

Was Gypsy a desperate victim with no other way out? Or did she manipulate those around her into doing her dirty work? Join Tom, Ben, and Dan as they dissect this chilling case, unravel the lies, and debate whether justice was truly served.
