Found Deceased MO - Clauddinnea 'Dee Dee' Blancharde, 48, Springfield, 10 June 2015 - #2 *Arrests*

[Eileen730]

True there was no legal right. Gypsy could do whatever she pleased as a legal adult. If you read the posting from Gypsy to her friend in 2011,you would see that Gypsy called the guy a pedo and said she got scared when he got "handy"
So Gypsy was pretending in a posting to friend to to be a minor in (2011) by calling this guy a pedo (think of this later if Gypsy testifies)
Now assuming Gypsy has any issues with mental development can you see why DB may have acted?
Who do you think GB called when she became scared?
Can you at least admit DB had a point in her feelings regarding Godejohn as a bf for her daughter? IMO

didnt Gypsy say in that very same conversation that Godejohn had a split personality?

 

[pepelepolecat]

One of the many things I don't understand is the S&M looking picture of Gypsy. Who ordered the outfit, who and how did they pay for it, how did it get into the house and who took the picture? Was this the next scam?

I have to wonder if it might not have been NG who ordered and paid for it and had it shipped to her house. But as for how it actually got into the house, that's a mystery. Surely if DB kept a tight rein on things, she'd have noticed any unexpected packages?

 

[kimlynn]

Imo this shows how desperate Gypsy was. If she understood what she was doing she had to know she could end up in prison, and still that was a better option than staying with her mother. What if Gypsy figured out her mother might kill her? I would rather do whatever it took to get away from her.

I agree we can't be sure about what meds she might have taken, but I'm assuming doctors oversaw it or tested her at times. What upsets me the most is I suspect DD was inflicting some of Gypsy's injuries and illness. I read a few articles about mothers who were found guilty of murder in Munchausen's/malingering cases, and 10% of victims of this kind of abuse die. To me that statistic shocking and frightening.

DB very well could have been giving GB meds or chemicals to mimic illnesses. I'm keeping an open mind. If it turns out she did harm GB in that manner it would take it to another level in my eyes. IMO

I do recall reading that but not sure if it was the same conversation. It could have been since Gypsy was posting about relationships with her friend.

I don't get the sense that Gypsy had as many restrictions as some might think. I wondered as well if Gypsy may have had plans to branch out in scamming without mom. IMO

 

[MsMarple]

Exactly!
Its not bitterness.
I for one want to hear more of this story.
She orchestrated the murder of her mother! She is just as guilty as NG.
I don't think she should just walk scott free and I have not heard her lawyer say she was abused or needs psychiatric help from professionals. Have not seen LE sy she needs evaluations... All I ever heard LE say was she walks fine and can even carry her own bags.

sorry If I don't agree with many of u but ......I need more info!

and its all JMO

Your post jogged a memory for me. At her extradition hearing Gypsy said she was on an anti-seizure med while in jail. I wonder if she's been been seen yet by an M.D. to determine if the med is necessary. I hope she's had some evaluation by now even if it's only for her medical conditions. This is a neutral post - I'm just curious.

Judge Michael Bohren asked Blancharde if she understood what she was doing. She said yes but conferred with her attorney. The Judge wasn't happy with that and wanted her to answer the questions. She told the judge she has a 3rd grade education and was taking anti-seizure medication in jail.

You cant stop those kind of meds cold turkey. She will need to be tapered off.

I presume Dee Dee acted because she didn't want to lose her meal ticket. With Gypsy gone, how would Dee Dee make a living?

Not only did Deedee get money from compassionate people, I bet she got money from SSI to take care of her poor ill child.

It is so monstrous I cannot stand it.

jjenny this person had her mother murdered ok.

and where have I Blamed a child for being abused?

We don't know if she was abused. Mom devised a scam and its very possible her daughter went along with it... without abusing her!

Hey Gypsy honey this is what were gonna do now! I have this plan just do as I say and we will be set for life I promise ya!

Ok Momma!

Its very possible she conned her own daughter but as for abuse Im not so sure.

don't attack me cause I don't buy the abuse angle as of yet.
she seemed perfectly competent if you ask me!

Gypsy hasn't said word one about abuse. Yet. The rest of the world has though. The media, her family and various sleuthers familiar with medical abuse. Even those who aren't.

IMO, that's because the clues pointing to abuse are as clear as the nose on your face. I'm a law and order type when it comes to murder, etc. I haven't yet defended someone charged with murder, except possibly partially when the murderer is a young child. But the facts are evident to me here. It is amazingly obvious and easy to connect the dots. Especially because, IMO, those dots are as big as a helicopter landing pad.

And to suggest that an 8 year old would be complicit (and continue to be so for years), in a fraud that has her keeping her head shaved for life, losing her teeth, wearing old lady glasses, old lady clothes and bonnets, confined to a wheelchair in public, never able to play with other kids as an able-bodied person, isolated from family and most friends, undergoing various medical procedures at Mercy Hospital, with doctors in New Orleans, in Missouri, that such a kid would even have the tiniest bit of the sophistication necessary to pulling off such a complex and insane fraud, fooling doctors, charities and the public, defies reason. It boggles my mind that anyone could believe a child could be either the engineer of such monstrousness, or could be in anyway a knowing conspirator! I'm stunned.

I don't know what to say.

 

[gitana1]

You don't give her much credit. She is 23. Surely she knows murder carries a harsher penalty than fraud. IMO

She's not 23 like anyone else is 23. Gypsy has been isolated from society and kept close to her mom. In court it was stated she has a third grade education. The horrific abuse she was obviously subjected to since she was quite young would actually damage her brain- her ability to understand right and wrong, logical consequences, the in and outs of society.

I'm really getting the sense that many do not have the merest understanding of abuse and it's effects. And abuse, BTW, would include making a child participate in a fraud for her entire childhood.since age 8. (Although family accounts say it actually started at age 5). It may sound harmless to a few souls, to have a mother say, as a post suggested, "Here's what were going to do, Gypsy..." As if it's some little game.
Sorry, it's no game to use a child the way gypsy was used, even putting the possibility of medical abuse aside!

Anyhow, it's BBQ time. Happy 4th all!!!

I am not speaking of the 8 yr old Gypsy!
She did as Mom told her.

Im speaking of the adult Gypsy.

guess we all have to wait and see wont we?

Sadly tho we will only have one side of this story!

None of us know how DeeDee treated Gypsy when they were not doing their act!

Like I said id love to know if they went out incognito to other places I do not for one second believe they never ventured out.

If her mother conned her about being sick--that is abuse. It's medical abuse. Of course Gypsy was abused.

What you don't seem to understand is that you can't put **** in the dough, and expect a perfectly yummy and edible pie to emerge.

You can't cut a child's feet off and expect him to run as an adult.

Just because you cannot see the damage, doesn't mean it isn't there.

 

[atmosphere]

Does anyone think she will tell the real truth on the stand or will she be shady and manipulative? We all have seen ala CA and JA how the attornys twist reality. Is she remorseful or will many months listening to attorneys spin the events twist her mind yet again? Will all those months in jail with all those opinions and schemes and new personalities mold her and harden her more? Of couse she is most likely in isolation I would think. Be interesting to know her frame of mind now. Yes she was like a scared rabbit in court but what is she really like? Who is the real Gypsy?

I may have to put in my signature that Gypsy was abused. I'm not sure why I'm still being told that "some" have no understanding of abuse when I have agreed in almost every post that Gypsy was indeed abused.
What DB did to Gypsy was unfair, and abusive and Gypsy did in fact suffer as a result.
Gypsy told the courts that she had a third grade education. Where do you think she heard that from? Gypsy will play this for all it's worth.
Just like her mother taught her.
No she isn't 23 like everyone else because we all have different experiences,but I'm sure she understands what murder is and that there is a penalty.IMO
Happy 4th gitana and all.

IMO the real Gypsy is the fb postings after the murder and the pics to her bf. I don't think she has any remorse. IMO

She doesn't have to take the stand.

 

[MsFacetious]

I don't think Gypsy knows who the real Gypsy is.
She was never given a chance to find that out. :twocents:

 

[concernedmother]

I think this is the first time I have ever defended a murderer but I don't think Gypsy should go to prison. She has already spent her whole life in one. I think she may be damaged beyond repair and should be locked away in an institution . Im not sure she could ever function in society.
