On July 27, 1991, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was born in Golden Meadow, a small hamlet in Louisiana. Shortly before she was born, her parents Dee Dee Blanchard and Rod Blanchard had separated. There is a curiosity among social media users about when and why did she go to prison. In this post, you will get all the information related to it.
When Did Gypsy Rose Go to Jail?
In July 2016, Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn pleaded guilty for their role in the killing of Rose’s mother “Dee Dee Blanchard” who was found stabbed to death in her home in Springfield, Missouri.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard said in court that she had set up Godejohn’s visit to the family’s Springfield residence in order to murder her mother. The pair went to Godejohn’s house in Wisconsin after the murder, where they were apprehended a few days later.
After the couple was arrested, it came out that Dee Dee had fabricated all of her daughter’s health problems. Gypsy was a victim of Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome, a rare form of abuse in which a parent or guardian makes up or fakes sickness in a child to get attention and sympathy.
Dee Dee had persuaded her family, friends, and neighbors that Blanchard was a teenager with muscular dystrophy, leukemia, and other illnesses who had the mind of a 7-year-old. Blanchard also said that her mother wouldn’t let her talk when she went to the doctor and told her that the police wouldn’t believe her story if she ever tried to leave.
When Will Gypsy Rose be Released From Prison?
Three years ahead of schedule, on December 28, Blanchard will be released from the Chillicothe Correctional Center in Chillicothe, Missouri, after being granted parole. One user shared a tweet related to her release date:

How Did Gypsy Rose Help Nicholas Godejohn to Murder Her Mother?
Godejohn returned to Springfield in June 2015 arriving while Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her mother were away at a doctor’s appointment. When they got back home and Dee Dee went to sleep, he went to the Blanchard house.
He said that Gypsy let him into the house and gave him duct tape, gloves and a knife so that he could kill Dee Dee on the spot. Gypsy hid in the bathroom with her hands over her ears to avoid hearing her mother scream. After that, Godejohn cut Dee Dee 17 times in the back while she was sleeping.
After that, they slept together in Gypsy’s room and stole $4,000 in cash that Dee Dee had been keeping in the house. The cash was mostly from Rod’s child support checks. They ran away and stayed at a motel outside of Springfield for a few days while they thought about what to do next.
Several shops in the area had security cameras that caught them during that time. After some time they both were arrested.
