A relative says a Missouri woman forced her daughter into a wheelchair for years, calling the situation that led to the murder “a ticking time bomb.”
A young Missouri woman who authorities said pretended to be disabled has been accused of conspiring with her boyfriend to stab her mother to death and posting about it on Facebook.

The murder charges were a surprising turn in what authorities with the Greene County Sheriff's Office in Missouri called an extremely baffling case.
"This is a tragic, tragic event surrounded by mystery and public deception," Greene County Sheriff Jim Arnott said in a press conference.

However, Arnott said Gypsy Rose Blancharde can walk well without assistance.
In addition, the pair had given many different ages for Gypsy Rose, claiming she was anywhere from 19 to 23 years old. They also had said they were victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Arnott insinuated that the mother and daughter may have defrauded others for money at some point, adding that authorities "really don't know the true background of this family."
"We have unearthed the appearance of a long financial fraud scheme along with this tragic event," Arnott said.
