A brand-new true crime documentary series centring on the case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard will be available to watch in the UK next week.

The 32-year-old was released from prison in December last year after being given a 10-year jail sentence for the murder of her mother Clauddine ‘Dee Dee’ Blanchard in 2015. You can see a trailer for the new documentary series here:

It’s believed that Gypsy Rose had suffered years of abuse as the victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy - a rare mental health disorder in which a caregiver creates the appearance of health problems in another person, usually their own child.

Dee Dee falsely told people that her daughter had to use a wheelchair and had multiple serious health conditions including epilepsy, vision impairments and muscular dystrophy.

Gypsy Rose was forced to use a feeding tube, an oxygen tank and was subjected to a number of unnecessary medical treatments.

In 2015, Gypsy Rose and her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn plotted to kill Dee Dee and stabbed her to death.

The case went to trial in 2016, where Gypsy Rose cut a deal for a 10-year sentence and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard was recently released from prison on parole after the murder of her mother Dee Dee.

Godejohn was convicted of first-degree murder and given a life sentence.

A brand new documentary series about the case, titled The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard is set to be released on 15 January and will run for three weeks as double back-to-back episodes on Crime + Investigation.

The series centres on Gypsy Rose as she prepares for her release on parole and sees her share her story, in her words, for the first time.

A synopsis from Crime + Investigation reads: “This six-part series finds Gypsy Rose Blanchard in prison on the eve of her parole hearing as she recounts her emotional journey; being forced to remain a child, held prisoner by her own mother and the unfathomable choice she made in order to survive.

Gypsy Rose tells her side of the story in a brand new series.
Crime + Investigation Play

“Her story is a tragic and perplexing example of the complexities surrounding child abuse and its long-term consequences – the series will shock, challenge and provoke uncomfortable questions.”

Advert

In the UK, The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard will be available on demand to Sky and Virgin customers through Crime + Investigation.

It will also be streaming on Crime + Investigation Play from 16 January 2024 - a subscription costs £3.99 a month, but you can sign up for a free seven-day trial.
