From Felony to Fame: The Release of Gypsy Rose Blanchard

In 2015, Gypsy Rose Blanchard enlisted the help of her boyfriend to kill her own mother, who suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy. The case quickly became a media sensation, with documentaries and television shows depicting the years of medical and physical abuse Gypsy endured at the hands of her mother. In December 2023, she was granted parole – and became an overnight celebrity in the process. In this Headlines episode, Candice and her producer Julie Berke discuss what drove Gypsy to plan a murder, why her sentence was lighter than her co-conspirator’s, and how her newfound fame could impact her life moving forward. Welcome to Killer Psyche Headlines, a news-driven weekly minisode where host Candice Delong discusses the latest in the world of true crime, and the recent cases that keep her up at night.
