On December 28, Gypsy Rose Blanchard will walk out of prison after serving seven years of her decade-long sentence for the murder of her mother Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard. But in a shocking twist in the tragic case that put Munchausen syndrome by proxy in the spotlight, living in jail is the only time that Blanchard, 32, has ever really felt free.
“Now I’m so much more freer,” Blanchard told US TV show 20/20. “The prison I was living in before with my mum, it was like I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t have friends. Over here, I feel like I’m freer in prison than living with my mum. [I can] live like a normal woman.”
In July 2016, Blanchard pleaded guilty to arranging for her then-secret boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn to murder Dee Dee. Blanchard hid in the bathroom of her home in Springfield, Missouri, on the evening of June 14, 2015, as Godejohn stabbed her mother 17 times as she lay in bed. She then posted “That b---h is dead!” on her and Dee Dee’s joint Facebook account.
“I wanted to be free of her hold on me,” Blanchard told the court during Godejohn’s trial. “I talked him into it.”
