medical airlifts,

Disney travel, and free housing

over the years

because of Gypsy's supposed disabilities.

Reporter #2:
It was a facade

that translated online,

[The Gypsy Rose trip]

donations pouring in

for Gypsy's reported muscular dystrophy

and leukaemia.

medical trip by Dee

and Gypsy Rose Blanchard]

Arnott:
We have not confirmed

the age of Gypsy.

It appears that there are

several dates of birth

that have been used

over a period of time.

I almost want to say,

"Man, I can't believe she--

I even wanted to associate with--

why did I even help them?"

I just never would see

that that little girl

really wasn't who she was

supposed to be.

[The prosecution presents its

preliminary evidence against Gypsy.]

Case exhibit 53.

Can I ask you if you'll tell me

what that is?

Dan Patterson:
Miss Blanchard is charged

with murder in the first degree.

When you commit a first-degree murder,

[Greene County Prosecutor]

you knowingly cause the death

of another person

after deliberation.

Analysis of cell phones

provided evidence of

numerous text messages

between Gypsy Blanchard

and Nicholas Godejohn.

Patterson:
Nicholas Godejohn was someone

that Gypsy Blanchard met online.

They began an online dating relationship.

Patterson:
During the attacks,

the two discussed

Nicholas killing Clauddine.

[The shits gonna go down tonight...]

[Babe its my evil side doing it]

[he won't mess up because he enjoys killing]

[...we'll be happy soon.]

[After this night

we will never bring it up]

At the beginning,

it looks like a tabloid case.

It looks like, "Here's some people

in some weird outfits,

and they're pretending

to be disabled and they're

scamming everybody.

And then there's this, like,

sort of horrible murder,

and the Facebook status,

'That b*tch is dead.'"

[Freelance Journalist]

Like, all of it is very tabloid.

[The New Yorker, Buzzfeed]

And then, gradually, that story

just sort of fell apart.

Still, it feels to me like it's

developing into something else.

Gypsy's hometown]

I still ask the question,

"How do you kill your own mother?"

I mean, there's got to be a reason.

There's got to be some abuse there.

You don't just...

"I'm gonna kill my mother

because I wanna be with a boyfriend."

Like I told my mom when I called my mom

and talked to her about it.

I said, "Mama, I've been-- you know,

I was mad at you before,

but I've never, ever

in a million years

thought about killing you."

I said, "For me to think

about killing you,

you'd have had to done

some pretty bad stuff to me."
