Her plan was for him to just bump into her while she and Dee Dee were at a movie theater, both of them in costume,[14] and apparently strike up a relationship that way, then for her to introduce him to her mother.

A doctor there from the Ozarks suggested they relocate to her native Missouri, and the next month they were airlifted there. [8] Arnott urged people not to donate any money to the family until investigators learned the extent of the fraud. Anche i medici spesso riscontrano evidenti difficoltà a diagnosticare questo disturbo in quanto i bambini che visitano presentano dei sintomi reali anche se poi gli esami sono negativi; non è quindi facile né automatico pensare che i sintomi suddetti siano in realtà indotti dal genitore che è il vero paziente. She told her neighbors in Springfield that Gypsy Rose's father was an abusive drug addict and alcoholic who had never come to terms with his daughter's health issues and never sent them any money. Both he and Gypsy surrendered and were taken into custody on charges of murder[3] and felony armed criminal action.

Gipsy Rose venne processata nel 2016 e condannata, per omicidio di secondo grado, a 10 anni di reclusione per aver pianificato insieme a Nicholas la morte della madre. When the police arrived, they had to wait for a search warrant to be issued before they could enter, but they allowed one of the neighbors present to climb through a window, where he saw that the inside of the house was largely undisturbed, and that all of Gypsy's wheelchairs were still present. Dr. Marc Feldman, an international expert on factitious disorders, stated that this was the first case he had experienced in which an abused child killed an abusive parent.

First, they called the police about the post. La gente credeva alla donna e le ribellioni di Gipsy non rimanevano prive di conseguenze, la madre la  picchiava ferocemente e la lasciava senza cibo per giorni. Ciò che secondo me va messo in luce è anche la necessità dell’appoggio di qualcuno nel compiere l’omicidio. [28], Jones also denied a motion by Godejohn's lawyer, Dewayne Perry, for a new trial. If you're fascinated by all things true crime, chances are you know the story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her late mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.

On June 14, 2015, sheriff's deputies in Greene County, Missouri, United States, found the body of Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard (née Pitre; born May 3, 1967 in Chackbay, Louisiana) facedown in the bedroom of her house just outside Springfield,[2] lying on the bed in a pool of blood from stab wounds inflicted several days earlier.

However, she always hoped that doctors would see through the ruse, and she was frustrated that none besides Flasterstein did.

Kim Blanchard (of no relation), who had called the deputy sheriffs to the house the night before, said, "What have I been believing? The story of a single mother with a severely disabled daughter forced to flee Katrina's devastation received considerable local media attention, and the community often pitched in to help the woman who now went by Clauddinnea Blancharde, and whom they knew as Dee Dee. Dee Dee ora era considerata da tutti una madre esemplare, una vera e propria eroina che si dedicava completamente alla figlia. [3] Godejohn had some issues of his own: a criminal record for indecent exposure and a history of mental illness, stated at times to be either dissociative identity disorder or autism. He learned of Dee Dee's murder at the hands of Gypsy and her boyfriend later in 2015 when a former nurse emailed him the news story.

She often wore wigs or hats to cover her baldness; her mother regularly shaved Gypsy's head to mimic the hairless appearance of a chemotherapy patient, allegedly telling Gypsy that since her medication would eventually cause her hair to fall out, it was best to shave it in advance. Dee Dee Blanchard was stabbed to death by Nicholas Godejohn, Gypsy Rose’s boyfriend. Nonetheless, many people accepted her situation as true, and the two benefited from the efforts of charities such as Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Flasterstein capì così che ad essere malata non era la bambina ma proprio la madre, evidentemente, affetta da una forte devianza che l’aveva condotta a mentire anche sull’età della figlia.
