Episode 49: Gypsy Rose Blanchard

By all accounts they were an unfortunate pair - a single mom, forced to care for her daughter and her many illnesses. As if that weren't bad enough, their home was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. For nearly a decade, the pair made a home in Springfield, Missouri, but what their neighbors didn't suspect one of the worse cases of Munchausen syndrome by proxy was occurring right across the street. Then a chance meeting online changed everything. This week's episode is Gypsy Rose Blanchard.
