Gypsy Rose Blanchard out of prison and into public eye, as crime scene turns tourist hotspot
Gypsy Rose Blanchard has endured challenging circumstances throughout her life. The story of the 32-year-old who sought the help of her partner to murder her mother continues to evoke strong emotions. Gypsy's mother took away her chance at a normal childhood, worsened her health, and deceived everyone about her fictional incurable congenital disease. Blanchard left prison last week after serving an eight-year sentence.
The much-anticipated freedom Blanchard received brought with it immense interest from the public. She capitalized on this by gaining a significant following on Instagram and TikTok, numbering over 7 million strong. This provides her with a platform to improve her financial situation.

Remnants of the 2015 tragic event still haunt Gypsy Rose, especially with her newfound popularity. This has led to natural curiosity about the case, resulting in frequent visits to the murder scene. Tourists often take photographs in front of the house located in Springfield.
Americans from all over the country visit this crime scene in Missouri. Former neighbors of the Blanchard family voice their irritation at the influx of visitors, with one disclosing frequent requests for directions to the house that has since been repainted blue. Notable changes to the property include the removal of the wheelchair ramp used by Dee Dee Blanchard.
Another resident lamented about the increased traffic causing commotion in the area and voiced concerns about children's safety, as many drivers ignore speed limits.
