I was shaking in my seat when she walked out, 382 00:25:20,792 --> 00:25:24,750 but seeing her walk, I was happy. 383 00:25:24,833 --> 00:25:27,167 I was happy that she looked healthy. 384 00:25:28,917 --> 00:25:31,167 - [Gypsy] Going into court, I was ashamed. 385 00:25:31,250 --> 00:25:33,750 I was sad, I felt guilty. 386 00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:37,167 It was a moment where I felt very low. 387 00:25:37,292 --> 00:25:39,125 I kept my head down 388 00:25:39,208 --> 00:25:42,292 and what I was thinking was just keep breathing. 389 00:25:42,375 --> 00:25:44,625 Just keep focusing on your next step. 390 00:25:46,708 --> 00:25:50,167 - When we saw Gypsy walk across the courtroom, 391 00:25:50,250 --> 00:25:51,667 that made it pretty clear 392 00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:54,917 that this was gonna be far more complicated 393 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,167 than we had initially believed. 394 00:25:58,875 --> 00:26:01,500 (dramatic music) 395 00:26:03,208 --> 00:26:06,667 - After the court was over we went and got back to see her, 396 00:26:06,750 --> 00:26:08,625 and I put my hand on that glass 397 00:26:09,875 --> 00:26:13,375 and she put her hand and I told her, I said, 398 00:26:13,458 --> 00:26:14,917 "I'm always gonna love you. 399 00:26:16,167 --> 00:26:17,792 If you need me, I'm here." 400 00:26:19,792 --> 00:26:21,292 - It's like having, 401 00:26:24,625 --> 00:26:26,458 almost a whole different child to look at 402 00:26:26,542 --> 00:26:28,958 'cause now I found out she was healthy, 403 00:26:29,042 --> 00:26:32,917 but we didn't know what was all true and not true. 404 00:26:35,042 --> 00:26:37,167 - [Gypsy] I kind of led them to think that 405 00:26:37,250 --> 00:26:40,833 I am just a victim in this just as much as my mother was. 406 00:26:43,292 --> 00:26:44,833 - She was terrified. 407 00:26:44,875 --> 00:26:49,667 Gypsy was terrified that we were gonna turn our back on her 408 00:26:49,708 --> 00:26:52,500 and she was, "I didn't do it, I didn't know. 409 00:26:52,625 --> 00:26:55,000 I didn't know Nick was gonna do this," 410 00:26:55,083 --> 00:26:59,250 and still then, we didn't know anything. 411 00:27:02,125 --> 00:27:05,375 (dramatic music) 412 00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:10,167 - I wanted to see the scene for myself as early as possible. 413 00:27:10,250 --> 00:27:12,917 I was contacted by Rod and Kristy Blanchard, 414 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,625 and that was the first time that I met with them 415 00:27:14,708 --> 00:27:17,583 was actually at the scene itself. 416 00:27:19,542 --> 00:27:22,000 - Just like looking at it from a point of view, 417 00:27:22,083 --> 00:27:24,375 like we just need to come in here and clean it out, 418 00:27:24,458 --> 00:27:26,000 save Gypsy's stuff. 419 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,458 - As we walked through the house, 420 00:27:29,542 --> 00:27:32,458 the best way to describe it is that Dee Dee was a hoarder 421 00:27:32,542 --> 00:27:34,083 and one of the rooms, 422 00:27:34,167 --> 00:27:38,833 there were almost a foot of just boxes 423 00:27:38,875 --> 00:27:42,875 and other junk just thrown into that room haphazardly. 424 00:27:44,333 --> 00:27:49,750 - And we started finding things that blew my mind. 425 00:27:49,833 --> 00:27:53,375 - It's like, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. 426 00:27:53,458 --> 00:27:54,583 - I was waiting to pinch myself 427 00:27:54,667 --> 00:27:56,625 and try to wake up from this nightmare, 428 00:27:57,750 --> 00:27:59,875 and never woke up from this nightmare. 429 00:28:07,417 --> 00:28:08,792 (soft music) 430 00:28:08,875 --> 00:28:10,167 - [Gypsy] Hey babe. - [Ryan] Hey baby. 431 00:28:52,250 --> 00:28:57,208 - One day she calls me and tells me that, "Mom, you know, 432 00:28:59,042 --> 00:29:00,958 Ryan is now my boyfriend." 433 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,458 I was like, good for you. 434 00:29:04,875 --> 00:29:06,833 - The first time I heard about Ryan, 435 00:29:06,875 --> 00:29:08,417 Kristy told me about him. 436 00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:11,542 She said, "Yeah, no, Gypsy she's got a guy now. 437 00:29:11,667 --> 00:29:15,583 And she likes him, they've been talking. 438 00:29:15,667 --> 00:29:17,542 It's like her third boyfriend maybe, 439 00:29:17,625 --> 00:29:19,375 second, third boyfriend." 440 00:29:19,375 --> 00:29:23,958 So it's like, oh, it's just another one of her boyfriends. 441 00:29:25,625 --> 00:29:27,667 - I was visiting with Gypsy. 442 00:29:27,833 --> 00:29:29,250 I remember a guard walked by and was like, 443 00:29:29,333 --> 00:29:30,875 "Y'all cannot get married in secret 444 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,292 and not tell your family and friends. 445 00:29:32,375 --> 00:29:34,208 Like you can't do that to your dad, Gypsy." 446 00:29:34,292 --> 00:29:38,000 And so that's when we were like, "Okay, we'll tell 'em." 447 00:29:40,250 --> 00:29:45,958 - About three months ago she had called me and she said, 448 00:29:46,958 --> 00:29:49,292 "Mom, I need to tell you something. 449 00:29:50,417 --> 00:29:52,000 Ryan and I wanna get married." 450 00:29:53,708 --> 00:29:57,250 And I just was silent for 451 00:29:59,458 --> 00:30:04,000 half a minute, I'll say, you know, just 452 00:30:06,208 --> 00:30:09,417 like thinking, oh God, don't get married. 453 00:30:10,708 --> 00:30:12,292 Why now? 454 00:30:13,875 --> 00:30:15,042 Why rush? 455 00:30:16,708 --> 00:30:17,667 - [Gypsy] Kristy keeps telling me, 456 00:30:17,792 --> 00:30:19,083 "Why don't you live with him first 457 00:30:19,167 --> 00:30:21,833 and then see where things go?" 458 00:30:21,917 --> 00:30:25,417 And I don't think that they understand 459 00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:28,625 that when someone is on parole, 460 00:30:28,708 --> 00:30:32,292 they have to parole to a family member. 461 00:30:34,125 --> 00:30:37,708 - When we found out about this engagement with Ryan, 462 00:30:37,792 --> 00:30:39,875 I thought, I wish they would wait a little bit, 463 00:30:39,958 --> 00:30:43,500 but I mean, it's marriage, it's a piece of paper. 464 00:30:43,583 --> 00:30:44,917 She can get a divorce after. 465 00:30:45,042 --> 00:30:47,542 They don't have any kids or any assets, so. 466 00:30:47,667 --> 00:30:49,167 I just want her to be happy, 467 00:30:50,167 --> 00:30:52,042 especially after what happened to her. 468 00:30:56,542 --> 00:30:58,042 - Inside Dee Dee's house, 469 00:30:58,042 --> 00:31:02,125 the one thing that did catch our attention 470 00:31:02,208 --> 00:31:03,917 was the one thing in the house 471 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,708 that was absolutely immaculate 472 00:31:07,792 --> 00:31:10,833 and that was the medicine closet. 473 00:31:13,958 --> 00:31:16,708 - There's breathing machines, there's gloves, 474 00:31:16,792 --> 00:31:23,125 there's all of this medication all in rows. 475 00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:25,875 - We found a prescription pad 476 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,250 that was stolen from the hospital. 477 00:31:28,333 --> 00:31:33,000 That meant that now not only is she 478 00:31:33,125 --> 00:31:36,667 using medical means to abuse Gypsy, 479 00:31:36,750 --> 00:31:38,542 but now she can do it on her own. 480 00:31:38,667 --> 00:31:40,250 She doesn't even need a doctor. 481 00:31:42,875 --> 00:31:45,000 What Dee Dee did to Gypsy 482 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,250 was one of the most egregious forms of parental abuse 483 00:31:49,333 --> 00:31:50,583 you can imagine. 484 00:31:50,667 --> 00:31:53,542 She took her daughter's entire existence from her. 485 00:31:59,792 --> 00:32:02,125 - If I could go back in time, 486 00:32:02,208 --> 00:32:06,833 oh, if I could go back in time, I would rewrite the script. 487 00:32:06,875 --> 00:32:08,542 I wouldn't let Dee Dee get away with it. 488 00:32:10,542 --> 00:32:12,125 It would be her behind bars. 489 00:32:16,792 --> 00:32:18,750 - I distinctly remember at one point 490 00:32:18,833 --> 00:32:21,167 Rod just walking out of the house 491 00:32:21,250 --> 00:32:24,917 and leaning on the rail of the front porch, 492 00:32:26,042 --> 00:32:29,792 and just staring at the ground for a good 10 minutes. 493 00:32:29,875 --> 00:32:31,333 It was hard to watch. 494 00:32:32,375 --> 00:32:34,208 - I just should have been there. 495 00:32:35,542 --> 00:32:36,958 I don't, you know, 496 00:32:39,250 --> 00:32:43,167 I wish I would have, you know, I regret that a lot. 497 00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:54,250 - [Gypsy] Over the years it's been nothing but a process 498 00:32:54,333 --> 00:32:57,375 to understand what happened to me. 499 00:32:57,458 --> 00:33:00,333 There's so many, many questions 500 00:33:00,417 --> 00:33:05,333 that I still have not had closure about, 501 00:33:09,250 --> 00:33:13,000 but whenever I'm sad and I'm crying, I lean on Ryan. 502 00:33:14,833 --> 00:33:17,333 - When I think about everything that happened to Gypsy 503 00:33:17,375 --> 00:33:20,417 I do get sad and I wish I was there to protect her, 504 00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:23,542 but it's made her the person she is 505 00:33:23,625 --> 00:33:28,125 and I feel that she's stronger because of it, I really do. 506 00:33:31,625 --> 00:33:34,542 - [Gypsy] My dad and Kristy was at my preliminary hearing 507 00:33:34,625 --> 00:33:39,667 and I got to visit with them for a small time. 508 00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:43,083 I was still trying to keep up that self-preservation of, 509 00:33:43,167 --> 00:33:45,417 I didn't have anything to do with it. 510 00:33:45,542 --> 00:33:47,375 - One of the things that was presented 511 00:33:47,458 --> 00:33:50,792 was this cell phone video that Gypsy had taken 512 00:33:52,833 --> 00:33:56,708 and it shows her walking through her mother's bedroom 513 00:33:59,417 --> 00:34:01,500 and she points at the mattress 514 00:34:01,542 --> 00:34:04,417 and then makes a stabbing motion with her hand. 515 00:34:08,208 --> 00:34:10,042 The video at that point, 516 00:34:10,125 --> 00:34:13,458 that was a very hard pill to swallow. 517 00:34:15,792 --> 00:34:17,333 - We did not. 518 00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:23,917 (sighing) 519 00:34:24,958 --> 00:34:29,667 - When we found out that Gypsy was involved in the murder, 520 00:34:29,750 --> 00:34:31,333 I was very shocked. 521 00:34:32,542 --> 00:34:33,583 My mouth dropped. 522 00:34:35,125 --> 00:34:38,542 - [Gypsy] Immediately, my face just sunk. 523 00:34:38,667 --> 00:34:45,250 And I felt nothing but guilt for lying to them. 524 00:34:45,333 --> 00:34:48,750 - She turned around in absolute fear, 525 00:34:50,208 --> 00:34:51,833 absolute fear. 526 00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:55,792 - Nobody would've probably ever thought 527 00:34:55,875 --> 00:34:58,167 that Gypsy was capable of that, 528 00:34:58,250 --> 00:35:00,750 talking to her friends and people that knew her, 529 00:35:03,542 --> 00:35:05,583 but nobody's ever been in her shoes. 530 00:35:06,917 --> 00:35:08,625 It's as simple as that. 531 00:35:13,042 --> 00:35:16,708 - Gypsy clearly had some involvement 532 00:35:16,833 --> 00:35:18,792 in the pre-planning of this. 533 00:35:22,708 --> 00:35:27,583 - [Gypsy] I felt in my heart just this overwhelming sadness 534 00:35:27,667 --> 00:35:34,333 and guilt and being ashamed of the actions that I took 535 00:35:34,417 --> 00:35:37,542 to make this be a reality. 536 00:35:42,042 --> 00:35:45,042 - We had no other case to look at. 537 00:35:45,125 --> 00:35:47,250 We had no precedent for this. 538 00:35:47,333 --> 00:35:50,667 And we also weren't sure 539 00:35:50,750 --> 00:35:54,667 that there was even a defense that we could raise. 540 00:35:55,875 --> 00:35:57,833 If we went to trial and we lost, 541 00:35:57,917 --> 00:35:59,500 Gypsy would die in prison. 542 00:35:59,542 --> 00:36:02,833 She would spend the rest of her life behind bars. 543 00:36:10,875 --> 00:36:12,500 (soft music) 544 00:36:13,583 --> 00:36:16,458 - In Gypsy's case, if you go to trial, 545 00:36:16,542 --> 00:36:18,542 the outcome is no longer up to you. 546 00:36:18,625 --> 00:36:20,833 It is up to the jury or the judge. 547 00:36:22,917 --> 00:36:27,167 And so it is, for me, 548 00:36:27,208 --> 00:36:31,750 the most difficult decision of my legal career, 549 00:36:31,833 --> 00:36:34,958 but both Gypsy and her dad and stepmom 550 00:36:35,042 --> 00:36:36,875 were amenable to seeing 551 00:36:36,958 --> 00:36:39,708 if there was some kind of resolution we could come to. 552 00:37:11,125 --> 00:37:13,000 -
