This week Jacob's kicking things off with a quick run-down on the massive week of Britney news before he prances into the archives and gets into the bizarre case of Gypsy Rose and Deedee Blanchard.

This was one of our earliest episodes, and is still in our top five most outrageous stories. A mother poisoning her daughter - did she have Munchausen syndrome by proxy? Or was her daughter's illness part of a grift? The daughter orchestrating her mother's murder - was that self defence? Or revenge?

Stick around til the end to get an update on what's happening in Gypsy's world now, 6 years on from the climax of the story and just months away from her first parole hearing. 

Original story starts around 23:17
