- Okay, let's try this again. Hi guys. How are you today? My name is Bailey Sarian and today is Monday, which means it's murder
mystery and makeup Monday! Ay! I need like, a theme song jingle or something cause it's just awkward that I'm like, (awkward noises) - If you follow me on
Snapchat or Instagram, Instagram stories or whatever, I actually already filmed
this whole video, okay? Let me tell you, I just need to vent. Just let me get it off my chest. I filmed this whole video already. I was ready to edit. I was comfy, ready to just, like, start editing. I then go through the footage and realize that my microphone
was off the entire time. I spent four hours filming and it just all went to poop. So I wipe my makeup off and I'm here to do it again. (exhales deeply) So hi, how are you? I'm blonde too. If you didn't notice. I was going to try and be all
cute and put in extensions, curl it... Nah. A couple of things, blonde, yes. So if you're new here, cause I noticed that I did get some new subscribers. Raw Beauty Kristi, over on her YouTube, she gave me a shout
out in her latest video and it was just like, it was so nice. And, so I just noticed, I had, like, some new people come and saying that Kristi
had sent you over here. So first of all, thank you to Kristi for that amazing shout out. That it was just like, a surprise and like, it was so nice. And I just can't say thank you enough. Also on, like, Instagram, I always see you guys posting in your Instagram stories that you're watching my videos and, like, tagging me. And I just want to say thank you. And I just appreciate all of you. So thank you so, so much! If you're new here though, in general, on Mondays, I do murder
mystery and makeup, where I sit down, I get ready, do my makeup, and I talk about a true crime or like a murder story. Tell you about it. And then, at the end, you know, we can have a little discussion. I know it doesn't make sense for the most part, doing
makeup and talking about murder, but, you know. A lot of you were asking
me to talk about it. Not a lot. Okay, like five people asked, but that's a lot in my book. And the reason I didn't
want to talk about it is because I assumed that everybody already knew this story? So I was like, I don't
want to talk about it. It's old news. Like, everyone knows the story. But I shouldn't assume that
everybody knows the story. So let's talk about it! Today, I'm going to talk about Gypsy Rose Blanchard. The story's crazy. It happened back in 2015. Yeah. I've been following the story since it first happened because it's just flipping crazy, okay? It's the craziest story. There's just like, what? You're kind of torn on
how you should feel. Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Who is she? She is a girl. Okay, great. We're off to a good start. So Gypsy Rose, she suffered from leukemia, asthma, MS. According to her mother, she had the mental capacity
of a seven-year-old. She was in a wheelchair, an electric wheelchair. She had a stomach feeding tube. At night, she would sleep
with one of those mask, the sleeping mask on that would give you oxygen. Oxygen. There were several
other chronic conditions that her mother reported Gypsy had. Oh, I should... I guess I should start. Everything I use will be listed in the description box below. Oh, side note. I also wanted to mention that right now on Hulu, there's a really good
show called "The Act". And it's based off of this story. It's a little series and the girl who plays Gypsy is amazing. Like, she's spot on. It's insane. It's crazy. She does an amazing job. It is scripted. So some of it is over-exaggerated but for the most part, it's great. And then there's a bunch of
different news interviews. Gypsy was interviewed by, like, Dr. Phil, and then there's a documentary on HBO called "Mommy Dead and Dearest". That one is really great, too. So, Gypsy's mother, her
name was Dee Dee Blanchard. She took care of Gypsy. So I'm going to start with Dee Dee first. So, Dee Dee was Gypsy's mother. Her real name is Claudine. I'm sorry. Claudine. How can you
not say that with an... Claudine? That's a good name. And growing up, like, her family would say that Dee Dee was kind of weird. Like, low-key, stealing, petty theft, lying. She always seemed to be,
like, very manipulative. At some point in Dee Dee's early life, she would work as a nurse's aide. And when Dee Dee's mother was sick, she took care of her. It would be later on that the family would become suspicious that Dee Dee actually was responsible for their mother's death. But that didn't, like, come
forward until way later. And honestly, they didn't
have much evidence. It was just more of, like, one of those, you know,
they were suspicious. Suspish... They believe that Dee Dee
was poisoning their mother and also would deny her food. But again, that's just
what the family says and there's really no proof to support it. And when Dee Dee was 24, she ended up getting pregnant
by this guy named Rod. And he was 17 years old. Now Rod and Dee Dee decided to get married because they thought it was, like, the right thing to do at the time. You know? And then they had a baby and they named their daughter Gypsy Rose. And then shortly before
Gypsy's birth in July of 1991, that's when the couple separated. Rod was reported saying that he got married for all the wrong reasons. So once the marriage ended, Dee Dee took Gypsy Rose and they moved in with Dee Dee's father and her stepmother. So at three months old, that's when Dee Dee expressed that she believed Gypsy had sleep apnea and began taking her to the hospital where they had overnight stays with a sleep monitor. And it became very frequent. Like, they were at the hospital a lot. When she was staying at the
hospital for the sleep apnea, they concluded that she did
not have this condition. Dee Dee stood by the fact that there was just
something wrong with Gypsy. Like, she just knew something was off. When Gypsy was seven or eight she was riding her
grandfather's motorcycle, and they actually got
into a small accident. She suffered an abrasion to her knee. And Dee Dee said that it would
require several surgeries to treat it properly. She could physically tell that there was some severe
damage that happened to her knee. From then on, Gypsy was
confined to a wheelchair. Dee Dee told everyone that she needed a wheelchair, that she couldn't walk. Her knee was messed up and no ifs, ands, or buts, really. Gypsy stopped going to
school in second grade. There were some reports saying that she actually stopped going
to school in kindergarten, but most of the reports say second grade. So we'll just say second grade. Dee Dee ended up homeschooling Gypsy because her illnesses were so severe that she just couldn't go to school. Now, at this time, Dee Dee and Gypsy were living with Dee Dee's father and stepmother. And during that time, Dee Dee would be making
meals for their stepmother. And the stepmother just
kind of started, like, getting really ill, just
feeling really sick. During the time that Dee Dee
was living with the family, she got arrested for some minor things, but one of them, including
writing bad checks. Then the family became suspish. When Dee Dee wasn't around, their step-mom felt perfectly fine. And they kind of put some pieces together. Dee Dee was poisoning their stepmom with Roundup weed killer. They confronted, the
family confronted Dee Dee and so then she moves out, with Gypsy, to Slidell. So once Dee Dee and gypsy
moved down to Slidell, that's when her stepmother's
health went back to normal. So everything was fine. This sickness that she had, I mean, they thought that she was dying. So Gypsy and Dee Dee
moved down to Slidell. They lived in public housing and they paid their bills
with public assistance that Dee Dee had been granted due to her daughter's
supposed medical conditions. And also from Rod's
child support payments. He was paying about $1,200 a month to take care of the child support. Dee Dee and Gypsy would spend most of their time visiting various specialists and children hospitals
down in New Orleans. And also just seeking treatment
of the illnesses Claudine (or Dee Dee), claim Gypsy suffered from, which she now said Gypsy
had hearing problems, vision problems, MS. And that Gypsy was suffering
from multiple seizures a month. They put Gypsy on anti-seizure medicine. They got her treatment for her MS. They also helped with her hearing. They put plugs in her ears. I don't know of who chose these
glasses, Dee Dee or Gypsy. And I'm not trying to
shame, but they are, like, the biggest, just the biggest glasses you can find. And I don't know. Not that it matters, but it's just, like, what? I feel like Dee Dee was trying to put on a show. Anyways, forget the glasses. So Gypsy, throughout the years, would go through multiple surgeries for different ailments that
her mother said she had. Also during the time,
Dee Dee would take Gypsy to their emergency room often,
like, a ridiculous amount, for any little thing that Gypsy did. I mean, it could be
something as small as like, eating a piece of candy. She would take her to the emergency room. It was just like a,
almost like a daily thing. And then in 2005, hurricane Katrina hit. Dee Dee and Gypsy, they lost everything. So, their apartment was completely ruined. All of their records. I mean, you remember
Katrina, it was just, like, everything was just chaos. Gone. Dee Dee would say that
Gypsy's medical records, including her birth
certificate, had been destroyed in the flooding. They were staying in a shelter that took in individuals with special needs. And then a doctor suggested
that they relocate to Missouri because that's where there
were specialists and stuff. Gypsy could get help. Gypsy and Dee Dee ended
up moving to Missouri. And then in 2008, Habitat For Humanity built them a small home. And this home had a wheelchair ramp. It had a hot tub, and it was
just a really nice house. So this would catch media attention, because it was the single mother of this handicap child who has so many different illnesses. They lost everything in Katrina. They moved out to Missouri to start over. Habitat For Humanity now
built them this house. So the media, like, caught
onto this and it turned into, like, a very big deal. It also brought in more
charities to help out. Free flights to different
doctor's appointments, trips to Walt Disney world, backstage passes to Miranda Lambert concerts. There's a photo of, like, Miranda Lambert. She donated X amount
of money to the family. You know, everyone was
just showing their love to this family. Rod, Gypsy's father, was also trying to be
a part of Gypsy's life. He would call her from time to time and try to speak with her. He would send gifts. Dee Dee was pretty controlling. She didn't really want a relationship between Gypsy and Rod to happen. There's one instance when Rod had called for Gypsy's 18th birthday. Dee Dee had picked up the phone and Rod was saying "I just want to wish Gypsy
a happy 18th birthday." And Dee Dee told Rod, you know, "Don't tell her that she's 18, because she thinks she's 14." Rod thought that this was strange. But Dee Dee was constantly
telling everybody that Gypsy had the mental capacity
of, like, a seven year old. That she just was mentally, not full. She wasn't there. Don't tell her that she's 18. She just, she thinks she's 14. So we're celebrating her
14th birthday, you know, because Rod's not there, in Gypsy's life, and seeing her in real life. He just is, like, okay, I guess this is what's happening. Like, there's no reason
to really doubt it. Dee Dee would tell
neighbors, and also Gypsy, that Rod was a drug addict, that he was abusive, and he was an alcoholic who never came to terms with their daughter's health issues and never sent money. She was putting in Gypsy's head that this guy's a really bad guy. You don't need to see him.
You don't need to talk to him and you don't really need
to trust anything he says, if you do talk to him. Anybody who met Gypsy would just fall in love with her because she's small. She was like five foot. She had large glasses on. She had a very high and childlike voice which just gave the perception that she had all the problems her mother said she did. Her mother would shave Gypsy's head, make it look like she was a chemo patient. And when they left the house, Dee Dee you would bring an oxygen tank with them, a feeding tube which then just made people, I mean, you had no reason to question that this girl was definitely sick. There are tons of interviews where you could see Dee Dee and Gypsy out. And in these interviews
you could always see Dee Dee is very close
by holding Gypsy's hand or just like, right next to her. And she always had some
kind of grip on Gypsy. You would think, Oh my
gosh, Dee Dee's amazing. She's taking care of her poor daughter who's so ill, sounded so sweet and so loving. She was always bragging
about how amazing Gypsy was. And honestly, like, if you didn't know now what we know then you wouldn't think anything of it. You'd be like, wow, she's so loving. She's such a good mom. But knowing what we know now, it's like, you can physically see her kind of controlling Gypsy because she's always,
like, holding her hand, and it's like a form of control. It's weird. It's weird now. But she was, any interview, you'll see Gypsy and her mom, like, holding hands and just very close. Gypsy would be reported to say if she ever mentioned to her mom that she was not really
that sick or she felt fine, that Dee Dee would give her hand, like, a really tight squeeze which let Gypsy know, like, shut the fuck up, pretty much. It's my assumption, but... Gypsy would also say
that when they were alone Dee Dee would strike her with an open hand or a coat hanger. So, literally, she was mommy dearest. So, finally, they go to see a doctor. He's a neurologist. And he became suspicious of the MS diagnosis that supposedly Gypsy had. He ordered MRIs and blood tests, which he ended up
finding no abnormalities. So, nothing wrong with Gypsy. And he asked Dee Dee,
like, "Why can't she walk? She seems to have muscle in her legs. Like, why isn't she walking?" And when the doctor brought this up to Dee Dee, she, it made her upset. She left and she never went back to that doctor again because he didn't give her the answer that Dee Dee wanted. So, this made the doctor suspicious. Okay, well, what's going on? Like, everything seems to be fine. So he asked Dee Dee for
some background records but Dee Dee said, "Oh, we
lost everything in Katrina. So we don't, I don't have anything." So the doctor ended up making some calls to her previous doctors and the tests that these doctors had run, also, the MS was proven to be not a thing. Like, all the documents and
the blood work and stuff, it showed that there was
nothing wrong with Gypsy. So right there, the doctor's like, okay, there's something going on. The doctor ends up
writing in Gypsy's report that he believes Gypsy does not have MS or any type of illness that he can find. The doctor believes
Munchausen syndrome by proxy. He put this in his notes. Okay? Now, one of the frustrating things with this is that the doctor felt like there was something suspish going on. But when he spoke to different colleagues, they pretty much told him
to give up the suspicion because, you know, this family had been seeing the doctors for X amount of years. It was just like a highly respected and loved family that
nobody would believe him. So don't even bother. There's a tip put out to the police from an anonymous caller. I'm going to assume it
was probably the doctor but it was an anonymous caller. Now, this caller told the police that they believe Dee Dee
was mistreating Gypsy, that she wasn't sick, that Dee Dee was using different names and birth dates for
herself and her daughter. They suggested that Gypsy
was in better health than they claimed. Officers who performed the wellness check, they accepted Dee Dee's explanation that she used the
misinformation to make it harder for her abusive ex-husband to find her and Gypsy. The file was quickly closed. It's so frustrating and so sad because poor Gypsy is just being
taken advantage of by Dee Dee and was putting Gypsy on a
ton of different medications. So, they had every
medication you can think of. When they did a wellness check, it was, like, Dee Dee had given Gypsy some medication that made her kind of drowsy and, like, drooling and stuff. And it just seemed like Gypsy was indeed mentally handicapped. Dee Dee, because she was a good talker, she was very sweet, she was always, like, one
foot ahead of everybody. She knew what to say. She could persuade anybody and why would she be lying? But poor Gypsy is just,
like, somebody help me. But unfortunately, like,
nobody could help her. Oddly enough, like, I think it's odd that no other doctors would be questioning what was going on with Dee Dee and Gypsy. There was only one report of one doctor out of the
hundreds that they saw. One doctor thought that there
was something weird going on. So honestly, like, I could understand that maybe nobody would believe him cause everybody else has
been going along with it. Why, why would everybody else be lying? Yeah. It's just weird that
nobody else really questioned it. So then 2010 rolls around. Gypsy would use the computer
when her mom went to bed. So I guess her mom would take,
like, sleeping medication. So it would make her sleep pretty heavy. Gypsy would sneak onto the computer and just, internet was
the only way that Gypsy really could escape. I mean, when you're a teenager, it's like you already start to get curious about boys or girls, and
just, sex and dating. And just, kind of like, in this weird hormonal confused state. You know. Eventually Gypsy would come across dating websites where you can meet people of the opposite sex, talk to them, potentially date. So one night when Dee Dee had gone to bed, Gypsy was on the internet on a Christian dating site. And that's when she met Nicholas. So Nicholas was about
the same age as she was. What age you ask? No idea. No idea how old she is. So Nicholas had some issues of his own. He had a criminal record for indecent exposure and a history of mental illness. His family said that he
was autistic as well. Next door to Dee Dee and Gypsy, there was a woman and her
daughter living there. Her daughter was 24 years old, and occasionally would
hang out or talk to Gypsy. Gypsy would consider her to be, like, her older sister. They didn't get to, like, hang out often, because Dee Dee didn't like her and didn't really want them to hang out. Dee Dee didn't want Gypsy
getting close to anybody, pretty much. Gypsy ended up confiding in her and saying that she met this guy online, that she was gonna marry him. The neighbor had told Gypsy to be careful and you just never know who you're talking to on the internet. It could be a predator. Yes. She just remembered that conversation which would come into play later. So Gypsy and Nick, they ended up having their own, like, secret Facebook account. And on the secret Facebook account they would share tons of messages. And that's where they
were able to really talk. But, like, in private. That's when Nick would introduce Gypsy to BDSM, He was really into BDSM and would tell Gypsy he had multiple personalities. So he had, like, a personality
that was a bad guy. He had a personality
that was a young child. One of his personalities
was a werewolf and, like, Gypsy would role-play and pretty much go along with it. They would send pictures back and forth. So there were, like, tons of images of Gypsy dressed up in
different costumes and wigs, but I'm sure it was confusing. Hear me out. There's nothing wrong
with, like, BDSM and stuff. Like, live your life. But when you're Gypsy and you have had, like, no background as far as friends go, relationships. She doesn't even have, like, a good template to go off of
how a relationship works. Could you imagine going
from, like, zero to BDSM? And then, on top of that,
you remember when you were a teenager and, like, your first love? Oh God, your first love, it's like, you're
obsessed with this person. Nothing in the world matters, no matter what anybody tells you. It's so stupid. When you get older, you're like, "Dude what was I doing?" That's how Gypsy was feeling, like, this is it. This is all I have. Yes. So they would communicate
on Facebook, in their secret Facebook account and stuff. So eventually Gypsy wanted to meet Nick in person, versus just communicating through these messages. So they came up with a plan to, like, meet at a movie theater. So Gypsy sent Nick money, and the plan was to have, like, a run-in at the movie theater. So Nick was going to show up
to the movie theater alone. Gypsy was gonna, like,
strike up a conversation with him as if she had no idea who he was. And then invite him to come sit down with Dee Dee and Gypsy
in the movie theater. And that was gonna be the way to, like, intro Dee Dee to Nick, so they could potentially date. Again, Dee Dee went with Gypsy everywhere. They never really went anywhere unless it was to the doctor's office. So meeting at a movie theater was, like, really the only way they could do it. So they actually went along with this. Gypsy and Dee Dee went to go
see the new Cinderella movie, the live action one. And then Nick went as well, alone. So he goes alone and then they had, like, this run-in and she, Gypsy invites Nick to come sit with them. And then Dee Dee doesn't, she just doesn't like it. She's like, who is this guy? He's at a Disney movie by himself. Like, the whole thing
is just kind of weird. It was later mentioned
that Gypsy and Nick, they snuck away to, like, the bathroom, and in the bathroom, that's where they had sex for the first time, in a bathroom stall. Nick would say that like,
Gypsy forced him to do it. I'm confused because like, both of them said it in interview. I'm just confused like, when they got time to
be away from Dee Dee. I just don't see when Dee Dee would actually allow Gypsy, like, out of her sight. But I guess that's what happened. They had sexual relations in the bathroom. So Dee Dee had mentioned that she thought Nick was creepy. And, like, that was
really the end of that. Gypsy and Nick still communicated on the internet, texting, messaging whatever. Gypsy would tell Nick everything about what's really going on, how she's not really sick, that Dee Dee is pretty
much holding her hostage. She can't escape. She can't get out of Dee Dee's sight. Just everything that was going on. So she, like, spilled everything. Nick would tell Gypsy,
"Oh, I'll be your savior. I'll be your Prince charming. I'm going to save you." I think it was probably brought up by Nick, "Do you want
me to like, kill her?" Gypsy wouldn't really go along with it. It's just kind of an idea, but it's not like a real thing that
they're going to do. Anyways, so one night
Gypsy and her mom Dee Dee get into a fight. Gypsy ends up messaging Nick saying, like, "Okay, I want to do it. I want you to kill my mom." So they had come up with this plan for Nick to kill Dee Dee so Gypsy could be free. So Nick came down to Gypsy and Dee Dee's home and Gypsy was messaging Nick, saying, "I have duct tape, gloves
and a knife for you." And to "Be quiet, that the
front door is squeaky." Yeah, she's ready. Nick would tell her to hide into the bathroom and cover her ears so that she wouldn't have
to witness her mom dying. Nick ends up going into Dee Dee's bedroom when she's asleep. Dee Dee wakes up. She yells for Gypsy. And then he stabs her,
a crap ton of times. Gypsy reports that she
heard her mom screaming, that she yelled for her name. So once he kills Dee Dee, they go back into Gypsy's bedroom and then they have sex. Gypsy would say that it was forced. It was not consensual sex. But Nick would say,
like, it was consensual. We agreed to it beforehand. Who cares about the sex at this point? Because, like, he just killed somebody. So, not really worried about that part. Anyways, so they took about $4,000 in
cash that Dee Dee had stashed. And then they left and stayed at a motel and they have a bunch
of luggage with them, so they're leaving town. They ended up mailing
the murder weapon back to Nick's home in Wisconsin. That way, no one would find
it at the murder scene, if they did find Dee Dee. They took a Greyhound bus and they headed out to Nick's home in Wisconsin. Nick and Gypsy were going to stay at his house with his family. And Nick told his family
that Gypsy was homeless, that she was being abused. On the afternoon of June 14th, Gypsy told Nick to use his
phone to post two updates to Dee Dee's Facebook. Gypsy wanted somebody
to discover the body, because at that point, it's been a couple of days and they hadn't heard anything about a body being found. And Gypsy was feeling kind of guilty that her mom was there. And, like, nobody found her. So he posted "That bitch is dead!" Great. Obviously, people like her friends and stuff on Facebook are replying, like, what movie are you watching? What are you talking about? What's going on? Nick had posted something again, in the comment section, saying "The bitch is dead
and I raped her daughter." Something along those lines. This made people worried. Like, what's going on? The next door neighbor, and the daughter of the nextdoor neighbor went over to the house and they knocked on the door and they got no answer. They were trying to look
through the windows. It had, the windows had like a film on it, so no one could see inside the house. So it made it difficult to see if there was anything going on inside. She found a window that
was open and went inside. They had called 911 before
going inside the house. And when she went inside, like, the house looked undisturbed, like, nothing looked out of the ordinary. One thing she did notice was that Gypsy's wheelchair was still there. If her wheelchair is still here then where the heck is Gypsy? When police arrived,
they got a search warrant and they went inside the house. Same thing, like, everything was in place, nothing looked out of the ordinary, but then they got to Dee Dee's bedroom. And then that's when they
found Dee Dee's body. Now because Gypsy's
wheelchair was still there, they thought that somebody
came in and killed Dee Dee, but they also took Gypsy. This put everyone in panic, like, Gypsy's without her wheelchair and all of that medication she takes, there's no way she's going to survive. So when the police were there that's when the next door
neighbor pulled the police aside and said, "Hey, I know about Gypsy having
a secret Facebook account. And that she also had a boyfriend." Based on that information, when police went to the Facebook page from Dee Dee's posts, those weird posts, they were able to track an IP address. An IP address can find
your location, like, where something was posted from based off of where your locations at. Wow, I'm great at explaining things. But this IP address
gives away who you are, where you're at, and all that good stuff. So it linked to Missouri,
and where Nick was at. So police, the next day, go to the home. Both of them surrendered
themselves to police. So police take Nick and Gypsy back to their home and they have, like, a big welcoming for them because people are thinking, "Yay! They found Gypsy!" Like, she's okay, she's
safe, she's not dead! But then the police do
a press release type of thing, where they're,
like, actually, you know, not everything is, as it seems. And please don't donate your money to this Go Fund Me page because it might be a fraud or scam. So the media soon reported
that the truth behind Dee Dee and Gypsy, and that Gypsy had never been sick, and she was always able to walk, and that her mother was making
Gypsy pretend otherwise. So this was shocking
news to the whole town. I mean, this is the family that... This is the golden family. This is the family that
everyone's donated money and time to, and just, like, supported and stood by. And so Nick and Gypsy were
both taken to be questioned. Nick spilled everything. He was like, "Here's what's going on. Here's the truth. We've been talking. Gypsy asked me to kill her mom. It was the only way for Gypsy to get out." But he stood by the fact that it was Gypsy's idea, that he did it, yes, but it was mainly because of Gypsy. And then in Gypsy's
interview, she just sat there and they came in and they're, like, "So Gypsy, you know, your
mom's been found dead." And Gypsy just like starts pretend crying, trying to be shocked, like she had no idea. And she's a terrible actress. Eventually the person questioning, "We know you're a part of this. Nick already spilled all the beans. Like, you're outed. Just tell us what's going on. Tell us the truth. What happened?" So gypsy goes on to say, like, everything that's been going on, how Dee Dee has been abusing her, how she's not really sick. She can walk, she doesn't need a wheelchair. And then it was Nick's
idea to kill Dee Dee. And she had nothing to do with it. Both end up going to prison. They have a million dollar bond. Media is losing their shit, because first of all, they're just finding out that, like, Gypsy isn't even sick. Like, what? And then, they see her walking, when the press releases
the tapes and whatnot. They see that she's walking and she's perfectly fine. And the whole thing is just, like, once all the information came out about how Dee Dee treated Gypsy for all of those years, sympathy for her as the victim of a violent murder rapidly shifted to her daughter as a longterm
victim of child abuse. So people are getting all
the facts now and seeing, okay wait a minute. This isn't just a normal murder case. Like, she was abused. Her mom was pure evil. The attorney obtained
Gypsy's medical records and saw just everything, right? He secured a plea bargain
for second degree murder. Gypsy accepted the plea bargain agreement and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Meanwhile, with Nick, it was different. He was the one who actually went through with the murders,
with the murder, not murders. He is technically the
one who killed Dee Dee. So he had a more severe charge. In December, 2017, the judge set Nick's trial for November of 2018. So this is a long-ass process. Like, Gypsy's case was closed in 2015. For Nick, it wasn't closed until 2018. Why the delay? No idea. I don't understand why it works like that. I'm sure someone out there watching will probably have the answer. Let us know down below in the
comments, if you know why. And then, his lawyers were saying, "Well, Nick is autistic,
and Gypsy is the one who suggested Nick go through with it, and pretty much convinced him to actually go through with the killing." Jurors had the option of finding Nick not guilty or guilty for one of the three murder charges; involuntary manslaughter, first degree murder, or second degree murder. It took the jury two hours to come up with a verdict and they found Nick guilty of first degree murder and armed criminal action. And then in February, 2019, so, just last month, he was sentenced to life in prison for the murder conviction. So both of them are found guilty. Gypsy is in prison for 10 years. Gypsy will be up for parole in 2024. And she'll be 32 years old. Whereas Nick is in prison
for fricking life, dude. That's insane. Turns out, if you didn't catch on, because I don't think I,
like, officially said it, Dee Dee was keeping Gypsy sick. Gypsy, after lots of testing when she was in jail as well, the only thing they found wrong with her was her eyesight. Everything else was fine. She was normal. She's a normal person. And she had no illnesses,
which is like insane. Dee Dee was keeping Gypsy really sick. There are images of Dee Dee's cabinet. It's more like a pantry. And this pantry is just filled
with different medications. I mean, every medication you
can think of is in this pantry. And she was always giving Gypsy something. There was always something
that Gypsy needed and there was always
something wrong with Gypsy. And this poor girl just, like, got older, she became a teenager, and she just couldn't
flippin take it anymore. Oh, actually, forgot to mention, when she was on trial, that's the first time everybody heard that Gypsy was like 23? I think? She was 22 or 23 years old. And people were like, she can walk, she's not sick, and she's like 23? She looks like she's 15, if that, so people are
just losing their shit. A lot of people kind
of find the conviction on both ends unfair. And I kind of agree. So with Gypsy, she should have to pay some kind of price, because she went through
with killing her mother. But, I don't know. Her mom was controlling. Her mom was making her sick. Could you imagine the only
way out would be to kill her. She tried to get away from her and the system had failed her. Nobody was helping her out. She had nobody. And even if the police came to the house Dee Dee had the paperwork to prove that Gypsy is mentally unwell and, like, you can't
believe anything she says, so poor Gypsy's just like flipping stuck. Right? I feel like she went from one prison to another prison. You know what I'm saying? She, I mean, literally, she did. With Nick, he's technically the one that went through with the murder. Yes. He should definitely have to pay, but, like, I don't know
if he should get life. I'm kind of torn on that one, too. There's so many things
that could have been done, should have been done, but just weren't. Dee Dee's family even says she got what she deserved, which is so sad to say about, like, your own daughter or sister or whatever. But they say it, they say it. There are, like, some stuff I left out of this video only because for time purposes. Anyways, let me know what
you think down below. But, other than that, I hope
you have a great day today. You make good choices,
be safe out there, and I'll see you guys later. Bye!
