Unmasking Gypsy Rose | The Complete Story — From a Diagnosis to a Body on a Birthday

True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

Show Notes

Start with a wheelchair in Chackbay, Louisiana. End with a body on a birthday. Between them: twenty-three years of fabricated illness, a negative muscle biopsy that changed nothing, a doctor's chart note that was never reported, a murder planned four different ways, a sentence of ten years for the planner and life without parole for the man who carried it out, a decade in prison that drew two men through an HBO documentary, a release that launched a media career, and a death on a thirty-fourth birthday with drug paraphernalia at the scene. This three-part series tells the complete Gypsy Rose Blanchard story across three parts. Part one covers the fraud. Part two covers the murder and prison. Part three covers the release and everything that followed. Every person who entered Gypsy Rose's story left it changed. This is all of it.

Lori Vallow's niece Melani Boudreaux was in a Mesa courtroom a week after Lori's February 2020 arrest, asking for her kids back while JJ and Tylee were still missing. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke join me on the custody fight and what her lawyer argued about her aunt. Brandon Boudreaux had filed a memo attributed to Melani's new husband about her being told Brandon needed to die. By November 2020, she was on track to share decisions about the kids again. JJ and Tylee were found that June, and Lori and Chad Daybell were later convicted of their murders. Melani testified for the State at Chad's trial. We ask what it takes to admit you were fooled, and whether anyone owes her a second chance. Melani has never been charged in the shooting at Brandon and denies any part in it.

Matthew Farwell’s defense opened its side of the trial on October 28th with a weekend from 2017. Joseph Harris, a vice president at Massasoit Community College, supervised Sandra Birchmore when she worked there as a peer tutor, and he filed a report after she told him she’d tried to take her own life. On the stand, he said he has no specific memory of that conversation. Under cross-examination, he agreed it wasn’t an emergency, he called neither campus police nor 911, and he has no training to evaluate anyone. Farwell’s lawyers say Sandra was stressed and worried about her pregnancy on February 1st, 2021, and the government’s forensic expert agreed she didn’t examine Sandra’s Apple Watch until October 2026. I lay out both sides of the 29 minutes Farwell spent in her building. Closing arguments are expected the first week of November, and his lawyers told the judge it’s his decision whether he takes the stand.

Melani Boudreaux went from a mom of four in Gilbert, Arizona, to living next door to Lori Vallow in Rexburg, Idaho, married to a man she'd met weeks earlier. That new husband secretly recorded her calls for police, and Lori called the pair "powerful warriors on our team." Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke join me on what brainwashing actually means when a mother believes people might be zombies. Melani testified that when Chad Daybell's warning about Brandon tracking her car turned out true, it "validated a lot of the things he was saying." A memo attributed to her husband says she feared JJ and Tylee "needed to die." She still had her uncle Alex stand at her wedding, by her own account. Melani has never been charged in the shooting at Brandon and denies any part in it. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lori Vallow's niece Melani Boudreaux had what her husband Brandon calls the perfect life, and within a year of getting close to her aunt's religious circle, she'd asked him for a divorce. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke join me on how that slide starts. Melani's mother got sick when she was a toddler and died when Melani was nine, and Lori made the call. Melani testified she started sending her questions to Chad Daybell through Lori after hearing he could see light and dark in people. Brandon testified he was told he wasn't welcome at the firesides his wife attended. We look at whether her church's belief that God speaks to people directly made her easier to reach, and what the first warning signs look like from the inside. Melani has never been charged in the shooting at Brandon and denies any part in it. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The brother of the man on trial for killing Sandra Birchmore got a deal before he testified. William Farwell, Matthew Farwell's twin and a former Stoughton officer, took the stand for the prosecution under a grant of immunity. He testified their relationship began in 2018, when Sandra was an adult, and admitted some of it happened while he was on duty. Sandra's medical examiner testified her office was never called to the apartment where Sandra was found. In federal court, Timothy Hudson's lawyers say one pending issue must be settled before they can advise him whether to plead guilty in Anna Kepner's death. The judge set January 15, 2027, as his deadline. Bryan Kohberger told the judge at his plea that he was satisfied with his attorneys. His petition claims those same attorneys coerced him. Defense attorney Bob Motta and Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI special agent, join me on what each of these deals is worth.
