A Missouri woman serving a 10-year sentence for killing her mother got engaged to a man who contacted her after watching her documentary “Mommy Dead and Dearest” on HBO.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, 27, murdered her mother Dee Dee Blanchard in June 2015 for being forced to portray herself as terminally ill. Currently in prison, she met her boyfriend as a pen-pal and started dating him a year and a half ago, according to People.
