HBO Documentary Films will present director Erin Lee Carr’s new true-crime documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest in March 2017, it was announced Thursday.

In her last film, Thought Crimes: The Case of the Cannibal Cop, Carr explored the case of Gilberto Valle, who was dubbed the Cannibal Cop by the New York tabloids.

In her new film, she takes on another case that triggered lurid headlines, the case of Dee Dee and Gypsy Rose Blancharde.

“I am thrilled to be back at home with the team at HBO to bring this incredibly complex case and tragic story to audiences,” Carr said.

Blancharde, who lived with her ailing, wheelchair-bound daughter, Gypsy Rose, was found stabbed to death in her home in Springfield, Mo. In June, 2015 her daughter was charged with the crime, which led investigators to discover a pattern of deception that involved child abuse and mental illness.

The film, which includes exclusive prison access to Gypsy Rose Blancharde, also examines the psychological condition known as Munchausen by proxy syndrome.

I haven't seen the HBO docu, but I have seen a 20/20 special on the case as well as Gypsy's interview w/ Dr. Phil.

I don't think that she should be in prison. I say good for her for having her boyfriend stab that fat POS to death. I generally support victims of abuse who kill their abuser/s.

That mother (used loosely) put that girl through hell.
