Blanchard rose to notoriety after persuading her boyfriend to kill her mother, who had falsely claimed she suffered from serious illnesses. She pleaded guilty in 2016 and was released in 2023, later reconnecting with Urker. The couple had a daughter, Aurora, before Urker's tragic and unexpected death.
Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, the woman who plotted her abusive mother's death, has been left heartbroken by the sudden passing of her fiancé. Ken Urker, 33, was found unresponsive on Thursday, which was also his birthday, leaving Blanchard devastated after discovering the news in a text message.
Blanchard and Urker, who had recently become parents to their daughter Aurora, had built a life together following Blanchard's release from prison in 2023. Their relationship had begun years prior through letters while Blanchard was incarcerated, and their bond only grew stronger after she reconciled with Urker following a period apart.
