You can now watch the first episode on Youtube Watch here In this episode, we delve deep into the case of a woman at the centre of chilling allegations. Is she suffering from the mysterious and debilitating condition known as Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, or is she truly a monster hiding in plain sight?

By examining Gypsy Rose's story, we uncover patterns and psychological intricacies that shed light on the nature of the accusations against her. To provide expert insights, we sit down with renowned criminal psychologist Tim Watson Munro, whose extensive experience in criminal psychology offers a unique perspective on whether these actions stem from a complex psychological illness or an inherent monstrous nature. Tim breaks down the signs, motivations, and psychological profiles that can help us understand the true nature of individuals who have this syndrome.
