Today Dee Dee's sociopathic stranglehold on her daughter is considered to be one of the most severe cases of Munchhausen by Proxy Syndrome ever documented, and part of the reason she avoided a life sentence, or potentially even death. Both went to jail for their crimes: Nicholas was sentenced to life, while Gypsy is serving a 10-year sentence. The pair were arrested and charged with murder. She'd reaped the benefits - including a Habitat for Humanity-built house in Springfield, Missouri - for more than 20 years.Įventually, Gypsy snapped. She enlisted her boyfriend Nicholas to kill her mother.ĭee Dee's body was not discovered for days and Gypsy was eventually tracked down at Nicholas' house in Wisconsin. Her condition was an elaborate fraud swallowed by friends, family, doctors and even the young woman herself.įor Gypsy's entire life, Dee Dee had concocted this lie. The medication was unnecessary and rotted her teeth, the operations pointless. After all, she had been super 'sick' all her life, confined to a wheelchair, and brought up to believe she was born with vast array of disabilities and illnesses. In June 2015, when Dee Dee was found stabbed to death inside her home, Gypsy was the most unlikely suspect. She didn't need it, because Gypsy was not sick. The murder of Dee Dee Blanchard is the true story The Act is based on. Astonishingly, she was healthy and walking, despite the fact that she hadn't taken any of her medication.
