Dee Dee's body was found in her north Springfield home on June 14. Law enforcement officers arrested Blancharde and her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, on June 15 at his home in Big Bend, Wisc. The next day, the Greene County prosecuting attorney charged both of them for Dee Dee's murder.
Sheriff's deputies found Dee Dee's body on June 14 in the home of the mother and daughter, just north of Springfield, after friends became concerned about their well being. Alarming messages on the shared Facebook page of the mother and daughter alerted the friends that something was wrong.
Investigators say Gypsy admitted sending the messages after she and Godejohn took a Greyhound bus to Big Bend because she wanted her mother's body to be found. Detectives say Godejohn admitted stabbing Dee Dee at Gypsy's request, and Gypsy told detectives that she knew what Godejohn was going to do and heard her mother's screams.
Blancharde waived her right to extradition during a court hearing in Waukesha on June 19, allowing the Greene County Sheriff's Department to arrange for her return to Springfield. The Greene County jail log shows she was booked there at 1:25 p.m. Friday.
