Summary
In April of 2022, on episode 91, Ash and longtime co-host Cam talked about a complex case that had always fascinated and saddened Ashley, the abuse of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and murder of her mother Dee Dee.
Ash covered the lifelong abuse of Gypsy Rose by her mother Dee Dee, who had factitious disorder imposed on another (previously called Munchausen syndrome by proxy), and Dee Dee's murder at the hands of Gypsy's boyfriend. Gypsy suffered extreme physical and mental abuse for decades and once she could no longer face the daily horrors that were her life, feeling she had no other way out, she turned to murder.
TW: Extreme child abuse.
