Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Reveals Final Words to Her Mother Before Murder

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard was hiding in the bathroom when then-boyfriend Nick Godejohn stabbed her mother, Claudine “Dee Dee” Blanchard, to death in 2015. Ten years later, Blanchard has completed her prison sentence for her involvement in the plan to kill Dee Dee, who is believed to have had Munchausen by proxy and is opening up about the final moments of her mom’s life.

Blanchard recalled what she said to her mother, who was asleep when Godejohn entered the home, before she went to bed that night. “I did go to the kitchen and I gave her a hug and I told her, ‘I love you,'” Blanchard said on 60 Minutes Australia.

Despite wanting to end the years of her mother’s abuse, Blanchard still clung to the memories of the woman who raised her. “I remember holding a pillow that she slept with every night and crying into it and apologizing to this pillow as if it were her, and just saying, ‘I’m so sorry and I love you,’ and just taking in the scent of the pillow because, in a sense, it’s like saying goodbye,” she shared.

She also reminisced about what was going through her head as she heard the murder happening from the bathroom. “In that moment I wanted to help her,” Blanchard admitted. “The thought in my head was, ‘I want to help,’ but I was almost paralyzed in my own skin to move.”
