Gypsy Rose Blanchard - a killer and a victim

Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her mother Clauddinnea ‘Dee Dee’ seemed to be as inseparable. Gypsy was known to suffer from multiple health problems and Dee Dee cared for her as a single mum. But when the elder woman was found dead in 2015 and Gypsy was arrested for her murder, the true story of their relationship unravelled. Gypsy has just been granted early release on parole in December, so Bek and Nina dive into the details and discuss Munchausen syndrome by proxy - both in this case and in Australia.

Hearing a host say “You create your own reality” was pretty disappointing considering this is a true crime podcast. But apart from cliches and twee chat some good stories here.
Title is misleading at best

I really do like this podcast, however there was SO many ads, way to close together, and the exact same ads. It’s a huge turn off especially when you have headphones in to listen while doing chores ect to be always skipping. It has stopped me from choosing this podcast over others.

Catching you up on the biggest true crime cases in the news from Australia and around the world.
