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.
