A woman has spotted a Munchausen by proxy victim who ended up killing her own mum in the background of childhood photos from a family holiday to Disney World.
Anna Kate H. has shared the story of how she spoke with Gypsy Rose Blanchard, now 29, twice when she was six years old.
Gypsy admitted conspiring to murder her abusive mum, Clauddine Blanchard, also known as Dee Dee, with her boyfriend in 2015.
The mum, who is also visible in the background of Anna’s photos, forced her daughter to go through unnecessary treatments for conditions including leukemia and brain damage.
She had extreme case of Munchausen by proxy, a mental disorder which causes people to exaggerate the illness of a person in their care and harm them.
Her body was found by Green County police in Louisiana in the US and Gypsy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, the Daily Star reports.
Now Anna has told how she crossed paths with the pair at Disney World while Clauddine was lying about her daughter’s health to Make-A-Wish and confining her to a wheelchair.
Under the username @annakateeh, Anna has gone viral claiming that she met Gypsy in a series of videos which have gained 10million views.
Anna explained: “When her story came out on the news, my parents were like didn’t we see her in Disney so my dad went back and looked at our old pictures and we saw her in the background.
“She was actually 21 years old at the time but we thought she was much younger.”
Clauddine controlled her daughter through constant psychological and physical abuse before Gypsy met a man online called Nicholas Godejohn, who would conspire with her to murder her mother.
She was jailed for ten years for the plot, which involved her buying duct tape, gloves and knife for him to carry out the killing.
Godejohn was charged with murder in the first degree and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Following the sentencing, Gypsy told Buzzfeed: “I feel like I’m more free in prison, than with living with my mom. Because now, I’m allowed to just live like a normal woman.”
