Summary

A small, quiet town in Missouri. A devoted mother caring for her chronically ill daughter. A story of love, sacrifice, and survival. Or so it seemed. But behind closed doors, beneath the layers of sympathy and kindness, there was a dark secret waiting to be uncovered. For nearly two decades Dee Dee Blanchard told the world that her daughter, Gypsy Rose, was dying. Leukemia, muscular dystrophy, seizures, vision and hearing issues, the list of illnesses and medical concerns was endless. Gypsy, a seemingly happy little girl with a huge smile, was bound to a wheelchair, fed through a tube, and showered with the attention and support of everyone around her, but no one really knew the horrifying truth. It seemed that Gypsy was perfectly healthy. She could walk. She didn't need a wheelchair to get around, and it appeared that she was being kept a prisoner in her own body, in her own home, by her own mother. The story goes that years of abuse, manipulation, and lies built up until they all came crashing down in the most unthinkable way: Murder. On the night of June 14, 2015, Dee Dee Blanchard was found stabbed to death in her home, and the prime suspect? Dee-Dee's innocent, smiling, happy, and allegedly disabled daughter, along with the man that Gypsy had been having a very adult relationship with. But nothing about this case is as it appears to be. This is the story of Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard.Try our coffee!! - www.CriminalCoffeeCo.comBecome a Patreon member -- > ｿ https://www.patreon.com/CrimeWeeklyShop for your Crime Weekly gear here --> ｿ https://crimeweeklypodcast.com/shopYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CrimeWeeklyPodcastWebsite: CrimeWeeklyPodcast.comInstagram: @CrimeWeeklyPodTwitter: @CrimeWeeklyPodFacebook: @CrimeWeeklyPodADS:1.

0:46.5	Derek LeBasser so today we're diving into part two of the D.D. Blanchard
0:51.5	and Gypsy Rose Blanchard case. And today it's going to be a little of a different
0:57.0	episode because we have a guest who we're going to introduce momentarily, but we're also going to go through the timeline of Gypsy Rose's medical history in this episode.
1:08.4	So all the doctors, nurses, medical people out there, I know that you're out there because I see you in the
1:14.3	comments it's great and you are going to definitely have your fill of information in
1:20.6	this episode and then Derek and I are going to kind of, after we bring our guest on, who's very familiar
1:27.6	with Gypsy Rose's medical records, we're going to sort of give our take as she goes through the timeline and kind of how we see it and based on our very lengthy interview and the time we spent with her what we kind of got from it.
1:41.0	So are you ready, Derek? I am ready. I will I want to preface
1:44.8	it by saying because we've already done the interview it's we did it yesterday
1:47.8	actually I think with this interview some of you are gonna agree with fancy some of you are going to agree with Fancy, some of you are not, and I think like a lot of things in life, it's open to interpretation.
2:00.0	It's the same information, but just like our political climate, you can take the same clip and interpret it two separate ways.
2:06.0	So I'm really looking forward to hearing your feedback in the comments to let us know what you think about all of this and what you make of it and
2:14.2	how it affects your opinion on this case in totality.
2:18.1	So yeah and basically what we want to say is we're trying to show both sides and we're trying to show many different sides of the narrative which is, you know, obviously the mainstream well-known narrative that being that Gypsy Rose Blanchard was a victim of her mother who
