GPSY ROSE BLANCHAR PROFESSIONAL
Only one medical professional could see through Dee Dee’s deception but never reported his findings.ĭee Dee’s deception was widespread. The attention that Dee Dee received from Gypsy Rose’s apparent illnesses fuelled her own. Dee Dee had a feeding tube implanted on Gypsy, made her take seizure medication that made her teeth fall out and pulled her out of school in second grade.ĭee Dee Blancharde apparently had Munchausen by proxy syndrome. Munchausen by proxy is characterised as “a relatively rare form of child abuse that involves the exaggeration or fabrication of illnesses or symptoms by a primary caretaker”. He visited Gypsy when he could, and sent money every month. She also claimed to be in hiding from an abusive ex-husband, but the reality was that Gypsy’s father was a nice man who wasn’t ready for marriage. She cut off contact with any family that questioned Gypsy’s diagnosis. Dee Dee shaved Gypsy Rose’s head, had her saliva glands injected with botox to make her drool, then had them removed completely when she complained that Gypsy drooled too much. Her mother deceived everyone around her and made even medical professionals believe that her daughter was gravely ill. However, the truth was that Gypsy Rose was never ill, the only effect from her premature birth being a slightly misshapen skull. The medical records that describe all of Gypsy Rose’s illnesses apparently destroyed in Hurricane Katrina, along with all of the Blancharde’s belongings. In August 2005, Dee Dee and Gypsy Rose Blancharde move to Missouri.
Gypsy Rose Blancharde again walks into the courtroom, handcuffed and brought before a judge. Nick Godejohn and Gypsy Rose Blancharde after their arrest.
Both Godejohn and Gypsy Rose are charged with murder, and felony armed criminal action. Gypsy Rose walks out towards the police, despite being in a wheelchair for the entirety of her life. Police raid the home of Nick Godejohn, finding both Godejohn and Gypsy Rose in the house. Based on this information, the police contacted Facebook and asked them to track the IP address on the vulgar facebook posts, the address turned up in Wisconsin, and the police were in contact with Waukesha County Police, ready to pounce on the address. Aleah also had printouts of conversations between herself and Gypsy about the online boyfriend, which included his name, Nick Godejohn. Aleah told the police about Gypsy’s online boyfriend, whom she had met on a Christian singles site a year prior. She told the police that Gypsy was seldom left alone with her but when she was, she spoke as a normal teenager.

Police feared Gypsy had been abducted and had a low chance of survival without her medication, oxygen and feeding tubes.
At the time the police found Dee Dee’s body, Gypsy Rose was missing from the home, her wheelchair and medication remained. Gypsy Rose was diagnosed with leukemia, asthma, muscular dystrophy and had a mental age of a 7-year-old due to being born prematurely. Their neighbours had called the cops after vulgar facebook posts appeared on Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee’s shared Facebook account. It appeared the body had been stabbed and was found lying face down on her bed in a pool of blood for many days before it was found. Late in the evening, Green County Police find the deceased body of Dee Dee Blancharde, mother of a severely ill girl named Gypsy Rose. But the Blancharde family are not as they appear. On the surface, it’s a story of a gravely ill child and a mother who would do anything to help her. The story of Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee (Clauddine) Blancharde is one of twists, deception and abuse.
