[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]
Gypsy Rose Blanchard has already served her time in jail, the case is lengthy over — and but, it’s producing extra controversy than ever now!
Late final yr, Gypsy was launched and immediately grew to become one thing of a celeb. Everyone seems to be following her semi-scandalous love life. She even has her personal actuality present on Lifetime. However the launch of crime scene pictures by the Greene County Sheriff’s Workplace has of us remembering why she obtained well-known within the first place… and debating who she actually is — a troubled woman who discovered a horrible path out of an abusive house? Or a manipulative monster?
Associated: Gypsy Rose Blanchard Spills All In First Interview After Being pregnant Information
For years, Gypsy Rose’s mom Dee Dee Blanchard subjected her to bodily and psychological abuse by pretending she was youthful than she was — and struggling horrible sickness. It’s possibly essentially the most well-known case of Munchausen-by-proxy ever.
Then Gypsy Rose — then in her early 20s — started relationship an older man she met on-line named Nicholas Godejohn. She satisfied him to homicide Dee Dee. She introduced him over, gave him the knife, gloves, and duct tape he used, then hid within the lavatory as he went into her bed room and stabbed her 17 occasions. The 2 then had intercourse in Gypsy Rose’s mattress earlier than stealing over 4 grand in money and fleeing to a motel for just a few days. They even plotted to cover the homicide weapon by mailing it to themselves. They thought they’d gotten away with it. However simply two days later each had been arrested and charged with Dee Dee’s homicide.
As we mentioned, many had been sympathetic to Gypsy Rose contemplating what her mom put her by way of, poisoning her with medication she didn’t want, controlling her life. However on the identical time… the premeditation of this homicide is basically scary stuff.
Now Greene County has launched a few of the crime scene pictures, and it has of us reconsidering their emotions.
Joseph Scott Morgan, an affiliate professor in Utilized Forensics at Jacksonville College, spoke to The US Solar about what might be gleaned from the pics. He defined how a lot the pictures confirmed planning and confidence:
“Whoever did this assault had an consciousness that they might make it by way of the piles of rubbish in the home, particularly to the situation the place Dee Dee was in mattress.”
Professor Morgan described Gypsy Rose as a grasp manipulator. We guess she’d must be to have gotten Godejohn to undergo with such an assault. He referred to as the brutal pictures of Dee Dee’s bed room a few of the “most horrific” he’d ever seen, saying the 17 stab wounds made the killing a “significantly bloody affair” and confirmed “anger”:
“You all the time hear the time period gun violence and, yeah, there’s gun violence. However if you’re speaking about pure, unadulterated violence, you’ve got bludgeoning deaths – that are beatings. The factor a few sharp pressure harm loss of life is that this out of all the deaths, it’s very private.”
So he’s suggesting Gypsy channeled her personal anger by way of her boyfriend? As a result of it was solely “very private” for her. Proper?
The stabbing again and again was greater than private, Morgan mentioned, it was intimate — or as he put it, “extremely sexualized.” The 17 stab wounds made it extra so:
“It’s one just isn’t adequate. Two just isn’t adequate. We’ve obtained to stand up into the teenagers now to make this adequate. And then you definitely spherical all of this off with this aberrant sexual conduct, that makes it all of the extra horrible.”
By “aberrant sexual conduct” he’s referring, we imagine, to the admission Gypsy and her boyfriend had intercourse in the home whilst her mom lay lifeless from all of the stab wounds within the subsequent room. Morgan additionally questioned how Godejohn was capable of restrain Dee Dee with the intention to kill her, saying we’ll by no means know precisely what occurred that night time. We’re undecided what he’s getting at. Does he suppose it didn’t go down the way in which Gypsy mentioned?
In any case, we’re curious what YOU suppose. Do you marvel if there’s extra to the story?
