Nicholas Godejohn's Case: Aftermath & Appeals In The Blanchard Murder Case
by Greyson Halvorson II May 02 2025
Can the darkest of internet romances lead to the most tragic of outcomes? The story of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Nicholas Godejohn serves as a chilling reminder of the power of online connection and the devastating consequences of deception and violence.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who served seven years in prison, has bravely begun to share her account of the fateful night she and her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, ended the life of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard. This narrative delves into the complex web of manipulation, medical fraud, and ultimately, murder, that defined their relationship.
On the horizon, Nicholas Godejohn's legal fate hangs in the balance, with his next hearing scheduled in a matter of days. This timeline underscores the urgency of the situation, as avenues for seeking relief, particularly through executive clemencya mechanism by which the governor can pardon, commute, or reduce a sentence under extenuating circumstances, such as diminished capacityare being explored.
The legal proceedings surrounding Godejohn have been meticulously documented. On March 21, 2025, Chief District Judge Beth Phillips signed off on crucial filings. Court documents from March 10, 2025, reveal the filing of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus by Nicholas Paul Godejohn, accompanied by multiple attachments. These filings are critical in understanding the ongoing legal battle.
The sentencing of Nicholas Godejohn, who was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole for his role in the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard, offers a stark contrast to the path taken by Gypsy Rose. While Gypsy Rose reached a plea deal with prosecutors, Godejohn elected to go to trial, where he was ultimately convicted by a jury.
The genesis of this tragic tale began online. Gypsy and Nicholas forged a romantic bond through the internet, eventually culminating in a face-to-face meeting at a movie theater in Missouri. The relationship quickly deepened, with Gypsy confiding in Godejohn that her mother was not the benevolent figure she had portrayed herself to be. This revelation was the catalyst that pushed Godejohn to commit the unthinkable in 2015.

After the crime, Gypsy and Nicholas attempted to flee, but law enforcement, aided by information gleaned from Facebook, tracked them down. While Gypsy is now navigating life following her release, Nicholas remains incarcerated, facing the harsh reality of life imprisonment. Furthermore, reports indicate that he is also grappling with mental health issues, adding another layer of complexity to this already tangled story.
In 2019, Godejohn provided an exclusive interview to Oxygen for their "Snapped: Killer Couples" series. In this interview, he spoke of the internal battle he fought, describing the struggle between an "angel" and a "devil" on his shoulder, before the murder of Dee Dee.

On January 20, 2025, Amber and Laura shared findings from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. These included videos Nicholas Godejohn sent to Gypsy before the murder, along with his internet search history. These details offer critical insights into the preparation and mindset leading up to the crime.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard's release on parole in December 2023, following her time in prison, marked a significant turning point. This release was followed by promotion of her new series, "The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard," further cementing her story in the public consciousness.
Court filings on March 21, 2025, detail specific legal actions, including the granting of provisional leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and an order for the respondent to answer the petitioner's allegations by April 23, 2025. These filings underscore the ongoing legal challenges and the search for any potential relief for Godejohn.
The trial and sentencing of Nicholas Godejohn stirred up widespread debate among the public. For her role in the murder, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was sentenced to a decade in prison. Godejohn, on the other hand, received a life sentence without the possibility of parole, a decision that remains a point of contention.
In July 2019, Godejohn offered a rare interview from prison, giving a glimpse into his perspective on the events and the choices that led to the tragic outcome. This interview remains a key piece of information for understanding the situation.
