Dee Dee Blanchard was born Gypsy Rose Blanchard in 1991. She was a sickly child, and her mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Pitre, convinced doctors that Gypsy had a variety of illnesses, including leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and epilepsy. Dee Dee also claimed that Gypsy was mentally disabled and had the intellectual capacity of a seven-year-old.

In 2005, Dee Dee and Gypsy moved to Springfield, Missouri, where they met Bobby True. Bobby was a kind and compassionate man who was drawn to Dee Dee's vulnerability. He quickly fell in love with her and began caring for her and Gypsy.

As Bobby's relationship with Dee Dee deepened, he began to suspect that she was not as sick as she claimed. He noticed that she could walk and talk normally when she thought he was not watching. He also found medical records that showed that Gypsy had been diagnosed with only a few minor illnesses.

Bobby confronted Dee Dee about his suspicions, but she denied everything. She accused him of being abusive and threatened to call the police. Bobby was afraid to leave Dee Dee because he feared for Gypsy's safety. He also did not want to be seen as a heartless abuser.

In 2015, Dee Dee was found dead in her home. She had been stabbed to death. Bobby was arrested and charged with her murder. He initially confessed to the crime, but later recanted his confession and claimed that Gypsy had killed her mother.

Gypsy was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Bobby was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The story of Bobby True is a tragic case of love, obsession, and murder. It is a reminder that not everything is as it seems and that even the most well-intentioned people can be manipulated and deceived.
