Munchausen and Murder (Part 2)

From about three months of age, Dee Dee Blancharde started to tell people that Gypsy suffered from sleep apnea despite tests showing that there was no sign at all. Family and friends would tell everyone that even though Gypsy was a little bit premature and her skull was a little off, there was nothing at all physically wrong with the baby. It would be around this time that Dee Dee would begin to explain that a chromosomal disorder was the reason why Gypsy’s head wasn’t the shape it was supposed to be.

It was a hot Sunday afternoon in June when a post on Dee Dee Blancharde’s shared Facebook page caught the attention of Kim Blanchard. A good friend of Dee Dee, Kim was taken aback by the post due to the language that was used in it. It was very unlike Dee Dee to post anything like that especially as Dee Dee shared the Facebook page with her severely ill daughter Gypsy.
