-

 Gypsy Rose Blanchard, the Missouri woman convicted for the murder of her mother, Clauddinnea "Dee Dee" Blanchard, who allegedly subjected her to prolonged abuse and feigned illnesses, has been released from prison.

According to the Missouri Department of Corrections, Gypsy Rose was released from the Chillicothe Correctional Center at 3:30 a.m. local time.

Gypsy and her boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, were arrested in 2015 for the murder of "Dee Dee" Blanchard, who was discovered stabbed to death in her Springfield home.

Gypsy Blanchard pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 10-year sentence. The case gained widespread attention, inspiring a Hulu streaming series in 2019 titled "The Act," for which Patricia Arquette won an Emmy for her portrayal of "Dee Dee" Blanchard.

"Dee Dee" Blanchard allegedly manipulated her daughter and the public by falsely claiming Gypsy suffered from severe illnesses, leading to unnecessary medical interventions. Gypsy, now 32, grew up under the false belief that she had various medical conditions.

In an interview with ABC News' "20/20" in 2017, Gypsy revealed the extent of her mother's control, including being physically restrained and isolated. She eventually formed an online relationship with Godejohn, leading to her mother's disapproval and strict orders to stay away from him.

Gypsy, expressing a desire to escape her mother's control, recounted the events that led to Godejohn stabbing "Dee Dee" Blanchard in June 2015. Godejohn, convicted of first-degree murder, received a life sentence.

In a 2017 interview with "20/20," Gypsy conveyed feeling a sense of freedom in prison compared to living with her mother.

  Gaston Glock, the Austrian engineer credited with inventing the Glock handgun, has passed away at the age of 94. In a statement, the Glock company expressed that the founder's legacy would live on in the continued pursuit of his life's work.
