Woman murdered and daughter abducted - the killer posts about it on their Facebook

[Polari]

Edit: update below

I don't know if anyone else has been following this story, but it's pretty weird.

A mother and her disabled daughter live together. Someone posts this to their Facebook:

Concerned friends report the posting to the police, who go to the house and find the mother murdered and the daughter missing. The police assume she has been abducted, and start searching for her. A day or so later she is found safe and sound at an address in Wisconsin, and there are reports that police have arrested a person of interest. Incredibly sad, but case closed, right?

Appears not - this is the story today:

Greene County prosecuting attorney said Tuesday morning that Gypsy Blancharde, 23 (not 19 as previously reported), and her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, 26, of Big Bend, Wisconsin. are charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action for the stabbing death of Dee Dee Blancharde, Gypsy's mother.

Investigators say the awful comments posted on Dee Dee and Gypsy Blancharde’s joint Facebook account, which alerted friends, were both authored by Gypsy. Investigators say Gypsy called Nicholas Godejohn, her boyfriend, and he traveled to Springfield to pick her up and kill her mother because she asked him to do so.

...

The investigation found that Gypsy, who reportedly always used a wheelchair, did not take one and can walk just fine.

The sheriff says there are many questions about the Blanchardes' background, including financial fraud, and doubt that they were even Hurricane Katrina victims as they previously claimed. Investigators are continuing to look into the many “twisted details” as the sheriff calls them, in this case.

Obligatory mugshots:

Update

Bobby Pitre, who is the cousin of Gypsy Blancharde and the nephew of Clauddinnea "Dee Dee" Blancharde, said the mother "imprisoned" the daughter and forced her to act like she was disabled — shaving her head and making her use a wheelchair.

,,,

Pitre said there were instances when Gypsy would get out of her wheelchair and push other children around. He said Gypsy once got up and started jumping on a trampoline only to "collapse" when Dee Dee came outside and saw her.

Pitre — who lives in Larose, Louisiana — said when family members started confronting Dee Dee about her treatment of Gypsy, the mother stopped communicating with the family. Pitre said he has not talked with Dee Dee or Gypsy for the past 15 years.

What the fuck?

 

[kabel]

I.....oh god what?

 

[obin_gam]

I'm probably way to insensitive but I honestly can't tell, who is the mother and who is the daughter in the picture?

 

[Zaptruder]

Yep. Terrible things still happen in this world of ours confirmed.

 

[Eidan]

What the fuck. This is some disturbing shit.

Mother's on the right, daughter's on the left, I believe.

 

[santi_yo]

Don't know what to say. This world is just fucked up.

 

[numble]

Mother's on the right, daughter's on the left, I believe.

Does not seem to match the mugshot, but I guess they are the same person.

 

[Shaanyboi]

That's fucking horrible. What could possibly even be the motive in something like this? Just evil shits being evil shits?

For a second I was all "oh cmon" but then I thought about it and yeah I could see thinking the smaller one was an older woman lol.

But yeah the larger person is the mom and the second mugshot is also the daughter.

 

[Chariot]

What the fuck. What a psycho.

 

[Polari]

That's fucking horrible. What was even the motive? Just evil shits being evil shits?

Sounds like the mother was pretty manipulative (scamming by pretending your daughter is disabled). I'm guessing that's the motive.

 

[Matty77]

Does not match the mugshot.

I'd say it was played up, it looks like they were frauds and scam artists, so anything is possible. And she looks like the mother in the mugshot.

 

[plasmawave]

That's super creepy.
Holy crap.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Hang on, the person in the second mugshot is the daughter?

 

[Dec]

So the daughter wasn't disabled? She faked it for sympathy/scam and had her boyfriend come over to murder her mother, then made the posts on their joint Facebook account and left with the boyfriend without a wheelchair (which she was supposed to require)?

That's crazy.

Oh god, what the fuck, actually read the whole article now. What. The. Fuck.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Fuck man those poor people who knew her and came across that facebook update.

 

[Dryk]

That's a pretty impressive level of self-victimisation. Jesus Christ.

but... like... maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how it goes from "my mom is a super shitty person" to "THAT BITCH NEEDS TO DIE!"

Being forced to pretend to be disabled for much of your life might make you a little unstable.

From the mugshot I would say she's super shifty looking herself.

 

[Red Hood]

I don't even--

Well, she somehow managed to manipulate the guy into killing her mother.

 

[Polari]

tbf he doesn't sound like the brightest bulb going:

In a bond recommendation document, prosecutors call the killing a "planned and deliberate murder."

Godejohn told authorities he asked Gypsy if she was sure she wanted him to kill Dee Dee and she told him yes, the probable statement says. Godejohn said Gypsy was hiding in the bathroom while he killed Dee Dee, the statement says.

Godejohn told authorities he mailed the knife he used to stab Dee Dee to his residence in Wisconsin after the act so he would not get caught with it, the statement says.

He mailed the knife? To himself? Now I am no criminal mastermind nor have I ever been in the position of needing to get rid of murder weapons, but I am pretty sure that's in the what not to do handbook of getting away with murder.

I see. Still, she did actively controlled him to do her biding to kill and made the posts on Facebook. There is clearly something cold and calculating inside her.

 

[Pusherman]

Wait the mugshot on the right is the daughter?!? WTF

 

[JediLink]

After FF7 remake and Shenmue 3, of course there had to be something to counterbalance it and remind us that the world is still shit after all.

 

[Das Ace]

This whole story is a trip. What the heck...

What?

RIP to the mom...that said, waiting for the police to uncover more untruths/scams and details in the case.

 

[John Kowalski]

She just wanted to visit Tanegashima.

 

[params7]

Is this real life

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

what the flying fuck

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

I can't wrap my mind around this story.

 

[Falcs]

What the shit!?

 

[SJRB]

Pure evil.

 

[Zelias]

This is straight-up bizarre as fuck.

 

[ffdgh]

This is...different. Sad.

 

[-MD-]

Damn this was like a 5-10 minute drive away from me.

 

[The Silver]

Now hold on a minute, the person on the left in the first photo is the same person in the mugshot? Wat

Indeed. This is a pic from their Facebook:

With the context it becomes almost too obvious. She looks too (in lieu of a better word) "special" - the odd hats, the oversized glasses, the toothless smile, the twee clothing and the posing with either real or stuffed animals.

 

[RandyBobandy]

I thought the mother was on the left..

 

[red731]

what the hell

 

[Red Liquorice]

Another story where all I can do is breath out sternly through my nostrils and shake my head.

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

and who is the little kid posted in the last photo?

I don't know, even with context she looks very convincing.

 

[RandyBobandy]

I'm pretty sure a precedent was set that you can't post news to disturbing news story if there's no real discussion beyond "wtf that's disgusting"

You could say that to all news that wasn't smiles and rainbows
