True Crime

Gypsy Rose Blanchard dice que hubo una artista en particular que la ayudó a superar momentos difíciles entre rejas... Taylor Swift.

Gypsy le dice a TMZ que ha sido una Swiftie desde el principio, siguiendo toda la carrera de Taylor y apoyándose en su música mientras cumplía 7 años de prisión.

La famosa delincuente dice que ella y Taylor han pasado por sus propias épocas, y la música de Taylor la llevó a través de algunos de los mejores y peores momentos de su vida.

Más específicamente, Gypsy dice que las canciones de Taylor fueron de gran ayuda para superar el abuso y el trauma que sufrió a manos de su madre Dee Dee así como su tiempo tras las rejas.

Como informamos, Gypsy gastó el dinero que su padre le envió a la cárcel en los álbumes de Taylor. Nos detallan que ella era capaz de comprar todos los álbumes, incluso sus reediciones.

Gypsy dice que las canciones de Taylor la mantuvieron muy motivada para conseguir su libertad y ahora por fin está en libertad condicional.

Como te hemos dicho, Gypsy espera que pueda conocer a la cantante en el partido de este domingo de los Kansas City Chiefs, puesto que ha estado en su radar por un tiempo y su marido, Ryan, ya compró entradas.

Por cierto, fuentes cercanas a Gypsy nos dicen que ella está considerando darle a Taylor un shout-out en las redes sociales, mientras que en el juego con la esperanza de que Taylor lo vea... algo que Gypsy ve como una posibilidad remota.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard says there was one artist in particular who helped her get through tough times behind bars ... Taylor Swift.

Gypsy tells TMZ ... she's been a Swiftie since the start, following Taylor's entire career and leaning on her music while serving 7 years in prison.

The famous felon says she and Taylor have both been through their own eras, and Taylor's music carried her through some of the best and worst times of her life.

More specifically, Gypsy says Taylor's tunes were a big help in getting through the abuse and trauma she suffered at the hands of her mother Dee Dee ... as well as her time behind bars.

As we reported, Gypsy would spend the money her father sent her in prison on Taylor's albums ... and we're told she was able to purchase every album Taylor put out, including her re-releases.

Gypsy says Taylor's songs kept her extremely motivated towards gaining her freedom ... and now she's finally out on parole.

As we've told you ... Gypsy's hoping she can meet her idol at this Sunday's Kansas City Chiefs game ... it's been on her radar for a while and her husband, Ryan, already bought tickets.

BTW, sources close to Gypsy tell us she's considering giving Taylor a shout-out on social media while at the game in hopes that Taylor sees it ... something Gypsy recognizes is a long shot.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard está disfrutando su primer sorbo de la libertad y una de sus primeras peticiones fue el calzado.

La famosa criminal y su marido Ryan se fueron de compras el jueves, a comprar algunos artículos de primera necesidad, como nuevos pares de zapatos.

Gypsy no está yendo de compras como terapia exactamente, en este caso, parece que realmente necesitaba los zapatos nuevos porque temprano en el día la vimos salir de su habitación de hotel solo con calcetines en los pies.

GRB y su marido han estado paseando en su sedán Cadillac blanco desde que la recogió el jueves temprano tras su anticipada liberación en libertad condicional, y tienen un equipo de cámaras documentando todos sus movimientos para una próxima docuserie de Lifetime.

Con su nueva libertad al alcance de la mano, Gypsy parece súper feliz aquí y tiene más planes en el horizonte, como por ejemplo, tratar de cumplir su sueño de ver a Taylor Swift este fin de semana en el juego de los Kansas City Chiefs.

Lo cubrimos todo en el último episodio de TMZ Verified, disponible en todas las plataformas de podcast.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is getting her first taste of freedom ... and one of her first orders of business is footwear.

The famous felon and her husband Ryan went on a bit of a shopping spree Thursday, buying her some necessities ... like new kicks from a shoe warehouse.

Gypsy's not exactly doing retail therapy here ... she really needed the new shoes ... because earlier in the day we saw her leaving their hotel room wearing only socks on her feet.

GRB and her hubby have been tooling around in his white Cadillac sedan since he picked her up early Thursday following her early release on parole ... and they have a camera crew documenting her every move for an upcoming Lifetime docuseries.

With her newfound freedom in hand, Gypsy looks super happy here ... and she's got more big plans on the horizon ... like trying to meet Taylor Swift this weekend at the Kansas City Chiefs game.

We covered it all on the latest episode of TMZ Verified, available on all podcast platforms.

The home where 4 University of Idaho students were brutally murdered has been demolished ... this coming a year after suspected killer Bryan Kohberger was arrested.

The demo crew got to work early Thursday morning on razing the property in Moscow, ID ... the sun was barely up when demolition began, and the whole front of the building was out of sight in roughly 15 minutes.

The university claimed the demolition could take several days, although the property already looks completely unrecognizable. University officials said the decision to tear it down was an attempt "to decrease further impact on the students who live in that area."

As you know, it's been almost a year since 29-year-old Kohberger was arrested for the November 2022 murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, who were all found dead inside the home.

The Goncalves and Kernodle families issued a statement Wednesday, asking the university to wait to tear the building down until Kohberger's trial is completed -- even though a trial date has not been set.

La casa donde 4 estudiantes de la Universidad de Idaho fueron brutalmente asesinados ha sido demolida, un año después de que el presunto asesino Bryan Kohberger fue arrestado.

El equipo de demostración se puso a trabajar temprano la mañana del jueves para arrasar con la propiedad ubicada en Moscú, Idaho. El sol apenas había salido cuando comenzó la demolición y en unos 15 minutos todo el frente del edificio desapareció de la vista.

La universidad dijo que la demolición podría durar varios días, aunque el inmueble ya luce completamente irreconocible. Funcionarios de la universidad dijeron que la decisión de derribarlo fue un intento de "disminuir el impacto en los estudiantes que viven en esa zona".

Como saben, ha pasado casi un año desde que Kohberger, de 29 años, fue arrestado por los asesinatos de Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle y Ethan Chapin en noviembre de 2022, quienes fueron encontrados muertos al interior de la casa.

Las familias Goncalves y Kernodle emitieron una declaración el miércoles, pidiendo a la universidad que espere para derribar el edificio hasta que el juicio de Kohberger se haya completado, a pesar de que la fecha del juicio no se ha fijado.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard está de vuelta en el mundo exterior, pues acaba de ser liberada de prisión y se encuentra en libertad condicional.

Gypsy había estado cumpliendo una condena de 10 años tras las rejas luego de ser declarada culpable de asesinato en segundo grado en relación con la muerte de su madre, Dee Dee Blanchard.

Como ya informamos, a Gypsy se le concedió la libertad condicional en septiembre y el Departamento Correccional de Missouri programó su liberación para el 28 de diciembre, tres años antes de su fecha de liberación.

Recuerden, Gypsy fue sentenciada a una década tras las rejas en 2016 después de declararse culpable del asesinato de su madre, un caso que generó un documental de HBO y una serie con guion de Hulu.

Recordarán que Dee Dee fue acusada de obligar a Gypsy a pretender ser discapacitada durante años, de mantenerla como un rehén e incluso de atarla a una cama después de que Gypsy intentara escapar de sus garras.

Dee Dee sufría el síndrome de Munchausen, un trastorno mental en el que la persona inventa enfermedades o realmente causa daño a alguien por simpatía o atención.

El entonces novio de Gypsy, Nick Godejohn, admitió haber asesinado a Dee Dee en 2015 para ayudar a Gypsy a escapar de su madre.

Mientras ahora Gypsy disfruta de una nueva libertad, Godejohn fue declarado culpable de asesinato y está cumpliendo cadena perpetua.

GRB, que ahora tiene 32 años, ha dicho en entrevistas en la cárcel que se sentía más libre entre rejas que cuando vivía con Dee Dee y dice que lamenta el asesinato de su madre.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's back on the outside ... she's just been released from behind bars and is out on parole.

Gypsy had been serving a 10-year prison sentence after being convicted of second-degree murder in connection with the death of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.

As we reported ... Gypsy was granted parole in September and the Missouri Department of Corrections scheduled her release for Dec. 28, three years before her release date.

Remember ... Gypsy was sentenced to a decade behind bars back in 2016 after pleading guilty to her mother's murder, a case that spawned an HBO documentary and a Hulu scripted series.

You'll recall ... Dee Dee was accused of forcing Gypsy to pretend to be disabled for years, holding her hostage and even tying her up in a bed after Gypsy tried to escape her clutches.

Dee Dee suffered from Munchausen by proxy ... a mental disorder where someone fabricates illnesses or actually causes injury to someone for sympathy or attention.

Gypsy's then-boyfriend, Nick Godejohn, admitted to murdering Dee Dee in 2015 to help Gypsy escape her mother.

While Gypsy is now enjoying some newfound freedom, Godejohn was convicted of murder and is serving a life sentence.

GRB, now 32 years old, has said in prison interviews she felt more free behind bars than she was when she was living with Dee Dee ... and she says she regrets her mother's murder.

For a lil nightmare for Christmas, head down to Zak Bagan's Haunted Museum in Sin City ... where he's just unveiled an exhibit for a Santa costume once worn by an infamous serial killer.

The "Ghost Adventures" star tells TMZ ... the costume worn by John Edward Robinson -- a convicted serial killer, con man, embezzler, kidnapper, and forger - will be on display through the holidays at his museum.

The Santa outfit was the one worn by Robinson to children's parties, scouting events and other similar functions. Zak bought the costume a few years ago and came from John's estate.

But, even Zak's creeped out by his new possession ... displaying his serial killer costume inside his museum's "Jail Room" -- built from actual bars dissembled from an Iowa prison. He says anything belonging to these evil monsters should be behind bars where they belong.

Robinson was indeed pure evil ... having been found guilty in 2003 of 3 murders in Kansas City and receiving the death sentence for 2 of them. He also admitted responsibility for 5 additional homicides ... with investigators fearing there might be other undiscovered victims.

His crimes were particularly spine-chilling as he made contact with most of his victims through online BDSM-themed chat rooms, ... often going by the name "Slavemaster."

A man in Turkey is in jail, accused of throwing his girlfriend to her death off a clifftop where he had just proposed to her ... and cops think she said, "no" before the fatal tumble.

Nizamettin Gursu has just been arrested in the death of his girlfriend, Yesim Demir, who reportedly fell 100 feet to her death in the Turkish city of Canakkale.

His arrest comes about 5 months after Yesim's fatal fall. Gursu originally told police his GF accepted his proposal, he left her at the edge of the cliff to grab food and drinks from his car and then heard her scream. He said he returned to find she had fallen over the ledge.

However, cops say their investigation now leads them to believe Yesim rejected the proposal, and a struggle ensued at the scenic picnic spot ... a struggle that ended with her going over the cliff to her death.

Police say Gursu still had the engagement ring in a box in his pocket ... and they also found a broken speaker and shattered glasses where the July 6 proposal went down.

What's more, cops say Yesim's family told them she had been planning to break up with Gursu before the proposal ... and they say she would have never gotten engaged to him.

The woman's family also told police she would not willingly stand at the edge of a cliff because she suffers from panic attacks.

Un hombre de Turquía está en la cárcel, fue acusado de arrojar a su novia a la muerte desde lo alto de un acantilado donde acababa de proponerle matrimonio y la policía cree que ella dijo "no" antes de la caída fatal.

Nizamettin Gursu acaba de ser detenido por la muerte de su novia, Yesim Demir, que al parecer cayó desde 100 pies de altura en la ciudad turca de Canakkale.

Su detención se produce unos cinco meses después de la fatal caída de Yesim. En un principio, Gursu le declaró a la policía que su novia aceptó su proposición, la dejó al borde del acantilado para coger comida y bebida de su coche y la oyó gritar. Dijo que regresó para encontrar que ella había caído por la cornisa.

Sin embargo, los policías dicen que su investigación les lleva a creer que Yesim rechazó la propuesta y se produjo una lucha en el lugar de picnic, una lucha que terminó con ella cayendo por el precipicio a su muerte.

La policía dice que Gursu todavía tenía el anillo de compromiso en una caja en su bolsillo y también encontraron un altavoz roto y vasos rotos donde se hizo la propuesta del 6 de julio.

Es más, la policía dice que la familia de Yesim les dijo que había estado planeando romper con Gursu antes de la propuesta y dicen que nunca se habría comprometido con él.

La familia de la mujer también le dijo a la policía que ella no se pondría voluntariamente al borde de un acantilado porque sufre ataques de pánico.

Chance Comanche, an NBA player who's spent the majority of his basketball career in the G League, has been arrested ... after officials say he helped murder a woman -- and then dumped her remains in a desert.

Comanche was thrown behind bars in the case on Friday -- following a lengthy investigation into the disappearance of Marayna Rodgers by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

According to the LVMPD, two individuals told officers on Dec. 7 that Rodgers had gone missing -- and a short time later, cops say they discovered the woman had scheduled a meeting with Comanche and his 19-year-old girlfriend, Sakari Harnden, on Dec. 5 -- but had not been seen or heard from since.

The LVMPD says early on in the investigation, its detectives "suspected foul play" in the case and sought to arrest both Comanche and Harden for kidnapping.

On Dec. 13, Harnden was booked in Las Vegas ... while Comanche -- who was playing this season for the G League's Stockton Kings -- was taken in by FBI agents in Sacramento two days later.

However, the LVMPD says following the arrests, officers were able to gather more information in the case and discovered Rodgers' remains in a desert area in Henderson, Nevada.

LVMPD detectives say they believe both Comanche and Harnden were responsible for her death -- and now, they say the two will be facing murder charges.

Comanche, a 27-year-old, 6-foot-10 center, first joined the G League in 2017 after going undrafted out of the University of Arizona ... and after spending time with multiple teams -- including the Stockton Kings -- he eventually made his debut in the NBA for the Portland Trailblazers last season.

This year, he rejoined the Stockton squad ... though he was cut following his arrest on Friday.

Sam Haskell Jr., el hombre acusado de asesinar a su esposa y a suegros, se presentó en la corte para su última comparecencia y estaba sin camisa, algo que los policías explican que se debió a sus pensamientos suicidas.

Haskell Jr. fue llevado a la sala del tribunal de Los Ángeles el jueves sin nada encima mientras era escoltado en el interior.

El oficial dentro de la sala del tribunal dijo que Haskell Jr. no llevaba una camiseta debido a ideaciones suicidas y explicó que inicialmente llevaba un chaleco de velcro que no tenía ningún material que pudiera ser usado para herirse a sí mismo, pero el chaleco seguía cayéndose y por eso decidieron quitárselo.

Como informamos, Haskell Jr. fue acusado de 3 cargos de asesinato el mes pasado, en relación con la muerte de su esposa de 37 años, Mei, y sus padres Gaoshan Li, de 72 años, y Yanxiang Wang, de 64 años de edad.

Recordemos que obtuvimos imágenes que parecían mostrar a Haskell tirando en un contenedor de basura lo que podría haber sido un cuerpo en Encino, California, y como ustedes recordarán, una persona que vivía en la calle más tarde informó que encontró un torso en ese mismo contenedor al día siguiente.

Sam Haskell Jr. -- the man accused of murdering his wife and in-laws -- showed up to court for his latest arraignment without a shirt ... something cops say is due to his suicidal thoughts.

Haskell Jr. was brought into the Los Angeles courtroom Thursday shirtless as he was escorted inside.

The officer inside the courtroom said Haskell Jr. didn't have a shirt on due to suicidal ideations ... explaining he initially was just wearing a velcro vest that had no material he could choke or injure himself with, but the vest kept falling down, so it was taken off.

As we reported, Haskell Jr. was hit with 3 counts of murder last month in connection with the death of his 37-year-old wife, Mei, and her parents ... 72-year-old Gaoshan Li and 64-year-old Yanxiang Wang.

Remember, we obtained footage that appeared to show Haskell dumping what may have been a body into a dumpster in Encino, CA -- and as you'll recall, a homeless person later reported finding a torso at that same dumpster the following day.

The man convicted in the murder of Drew Carey's ex-fiancee was just sentenced to spend the rest of his days behind bars ... more than 3 years after she fell to her death.

Gareth Pursehouse was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole Wednesday after he was convicted of killing Dr. Amie Harwick ... where a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder with a special circumstance allegation after a trial in September.

Prosecutors alleged he broke into Harwick's home in February of 2020 and waited for her to return before attacking ... and ultimately threw her off a third-story balcony.

The prosecution said his crime stemmed from not being able to get over their prior relationship -- which had ended years ago. Interestingly, Harwick had apparently expressed fear to friends and confidantes over Pursehouse not long before she died.

Pursehouse's defense team acknowledged in court he had, in fact, illegally entered Harwick's house that night -- but argued that he never intended to kill her ... claiming Harwick might've climbed over the balcony herself and fell on her own, noting the prosecution hadn't definitively proven their client was the one who threw her off. Obviously, the jury disagreed.

TMZ broke the story ... Pursehouse was arrested quickly after Harwick's death, and investigators pinpointed him as the prime suspect with the help of surveillance video.

El hombre condenado por el asesinato de la ex prometida de Drew Carey, acaba de ser sentenciado a pasar el resto de sus días entre rejas. Esto ocurre tres años después del terrible incidente.

Gareth Pursehouse fue condenado a cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de libertad condicional el miércoles después de ser declarado culpable de matar a la doctora Amie Harwick. Un jurado lo declaró culpable de asesinato en primer grado con una alegación de circunstancia especial después de un juicio en septiembre.

Los fiscales alegaron que irrumpió en la casa de Harwick en febrero de 2020 y esperó a que ella regresara antes de atacar. Finalmente, la arrojó por un balcón del tercer piso.

La fiscalía dijo que su crimen se derivó de no poder superar su relación anterior, que había terminado hace años. Curiosamente, Harwick aparentemente había expresado su temor a amigos y confidentes sobre Pursehouse no mucho antes de su muerte.

El equipo de defensa de Pursehouse reconoció en la corte que, de hecho, había entrado ilegalmente en la casa de Harwick esa noche, pero argumentó que nunca tuvo la intención de matarla, alegando que Harwick podría haber subido por el balcón por sí misma y cayó por su cuenta, señalando que la fiscalía no había demostrado definitivamente que su cliente fue quien la arrojó. Obviamente, el jurado no estuvo de acuerdo.

TMZ publicó la historia, Pursehouse fue arrestado rápidamente luego de la muerte de Harwick y los investigadores lo señalaron como el principal sospechoso con la ayuda de un video de vigilancia.
