The story of Dee Dee and Gypsy Rose has been one of the strangest and disturbing stories involving child abuse and murder. The story unraveled as the details started to float to the surface telling the wicked story about Dee Dee Blanchard, the crime she committed against her daughter Gypsy Rose, and the price she had to pay for it.
