Blanchard pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was released from prison in December 2023 after serving eight years of a 10-year sentence. Her parole completion marks a legal and emotional turning point in a case that drew national attention.

She also addressed her former partner, Nicholas Godejohn, who is serving a life sentence for first-degree murder. Describing him as “deeply disturbed,” Blanchard stated, “He knew the difference between right and wrong. That was a choice, and he is not exempt from the consequences of that choice.”

She closed her statement by acknowledging Dee Dee’s family and expressing ongoing remorse. “From the depths of my heart, I will continue to express my sincerest apologies to them, now and always,” she wrote.
