the 9th or the 10th? - we didn't really start questioning this until we took a deep dive into the role bdsm may have played in the murder of dee dee blanchard

Our website is updated on a daily basis. We're regularly working on new leads as well as deep diving information we already have, so information may change as more truths are uncovered. We've only scratched the surface of this case, there's still so much more to discover. 
​Excerpts from Gypsy Rose Blanchard's 2024, 'memoir', 'My Time To Stand', are  interspersed throughout the website, to illustrate and reinforce that a false narrative continues to be promoted.

                                                                         "I think he (Nick) used me to have his own means" (Gypsy, 2017)

Up until 2025, there was very little information available about Nicholas (known as 'Nick') Godejohn.
In late 2024 and early 2025, Into The Weeds Podcast were able to successfully secure case files following several FOIA requests, which have proven to be instrumental in providing a better understanding of the case and the characters involved, especially Nick. We cannot thank them enough for sharing this information. 
​
Nicholas Paul Curry (Known as "Nick") was born on 20th May 1989, in Waukesha, Wisconsin to mother, Stephanie Curry and father, (Robert) Bobby  Godejohn.
​Nick would later adopt his father’s surname, Godejohn.
In a report completed for Nick's trial, Bob Godejohn claims Nick's mother, Stephanie, may have engaged in some instances of alcohol and drug abuse during her pregnancy.
Stephanie, 20 years old at the time at the time of Nick's birth, endured a complicated 13 hour labour, which ended when a suction cup was used to deliver her first child, who was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, twice, and had to be resuscitated.
Doctors advised Stephanie and Bob that Nick's brain had been deprived of oxygen for a period of time, and he would probably experience some developmental delays.

Bob and Stephanie parted ways when Nick was about 4 years old. Nick recalls in 'Killer Couples', “From that time forward, I was different from everyone else" (Killer Couples, 2019).
​The relationship between Bob and Stephanie had not been a happy one, and Nick lived with his mother following the separation.

​As a lone parent, Stephanie worked several jobs, including waitressing, to support herself and Nick, leaving her little time to meet Nick's emotional needs. As a consequence, Nick spent a lot of time on his own and didn't form an especially close bond with his mother during his early childhood years.
Neglect has been alleged, and Nick's father, Bob, cites an incident when Nick became really sick after eating food Stephanie had brought home from work, claiming that Stephanie failed to take care of Nick's medical needs when he fell sick from the food.
It has been suggested that Nick's mother, "Went through boyfriends back and forth". (This information was included in a parents pre-trial questionnaire completed by Nick's father, Bob).

Nick was diagnosed with level 2 autism when he was in 2nd grade, and would spend the remainder of his elementary and high school years in special educational needs classes. ​When he was 13, Nick's diagnosis was changed to include Asperger's Syndrome.

The images seen below, relating to Nick's birth and early years, were discovered in 2025 FOIA documents.
​Without question, it sounds like Nick had a pretty God awful childhood. 

Testimony provided by Nick's mother, Stephanie, at Nick's appeal, reported that Nick's father, Bobby, was violent towards her both during her pregnancy, and after, continuing up until Nick was around 2 or 3 years old, at which time she left the relationship.
Even after ending the relationship, Stephanie claimed Bobby's abuse continued, with allegations made of Bobby stalking her, and threatening her with a knife. Bobby's abusive behaviour towards Stephanie was corroborated by Stephanie's brother, who also presented his sister as 'hard working', whilst describing Bobby as a man who, 'ever actually held a job'.
Stephanie also claimed, that many of her relationships after Bobby, involved men who would drink and beat her up.

Nick's father says that Nick displayed classic symptoms of autism as a child with some head banging behaviour - Nick would bang his head against walls - and some rocking back and forth episodes. He says that Nick had difficulty forming relationships with his peers and collected things like rocks and action figures. He describes Nick as being solitary. 

During his pre-trial psychological assessment, Nick reported to having had a psychotic episode when he was 13 years old, during which he hallucinated and heard 7 or 8 different voices. Nick reveals further psychotic episodes in 'Killer Couples', although it's debatable as to if Nick recognises them as such.
Nick recalls a moment in his early years when he sensed something 'clicking' in him, leaving him aware that, "I knew there was something different about myself that I didn't understand". (Killer Couples, 2019).
​Nick says that when he was 14 years old, he first saw what he refers to as, 'it', the 'thing', "Jeopardising my inner happiness, my peace". (Killer Couples, 2019).

​Nick also remembers another incident that happened when he was looking in a mirror in a darkened room at his grandmother's room. He claims he saw an unrecognisable shape in his eye that was quickly eclipsed by a shadow. Nick humanizes the shape, saying that it introduced itself to him, as if to say, "I'm good. I'm here. You created me". (Killer Couples, 2019).
Nick says he was then always aware of the, "Dark shadow part of me that really is triggered by anger", a darker side of himself, "Completely different to the sweet, innocent me that I wake up to every day". He talks about wanting to understand, "Who that is. What that is", but was terrified to explore it. (All quotes, Killer Couples, 2019). 

Nick went to live with his father during his high school years, returning to live with his mother when she married Charles Goldammer in 2008.
​Nick's half brother was born shortly after. 

After leaving high school, Nick tells us, “I tried to get into computer programming but they weren’t too happy with how long I was taking to grasp it all. Ever since then, I wasn’t able to really pursue any other paths of any type of careers”. (Killer Couples, 2019).
Nick initially received social security payments, but then secured a job working at Little Caesars, a pizza parlour, where he was employed to stand outside the store holding a sign to encourage customers into the establishment. He did try out working in the kitchen, but this didn't go very well and resulted in him dropping a pizza.
Nick remained working at the parlour for 13 months, but left after a conflict with a new manager.
According to Nick's stepfather, Charles Goldammer, Nick quit the job when the new manager confronted him about the regular breaks Nick was taking during his 4 hour shifts. This would be prove to be Nick's one and only job.

Nick had one confirmed girlfriend up until the time he met Gypsy. He says he was in a relationship with his only friend's younger sister who, like himself, had autism. He says they dated for a couple of months and had a sexual relationship.

Paul Curry, Nick's maternal uncle, was called to give evidence at Nick's 2024 hearing for a new trial. 
In his sworn evidence, Nick's uncle reports that Nick was 'different' from other children, and says he often witnessed Nick talking to himself. He suggests that Nick's thought processes were underdeveloped in comparison to a 'normal' child's, and claims Nick "Didn't know how to relate to people and lacked communication skills". He cites an occasion when Nick was being bullied, claiming that Nick lacked the skills necessary to be able to comprehend that he was being bullied. He alleges that Nick, "Wasn't cared for or taught basic hygiene practices", and says that when Nick returned to live with his mother, he would spend most of his time on the internet and would often argue with his step father about the nature of the content he was viewing online, the intimation being that it was "Explicit in nature".
Amber Morris, Nick's first cousin, older by 2 months, was also called to give evidence. She stated that she spent a lot of time with Nick between the ages of 8-13. She said that her and Nick were often left home alone while her mother (Nick's mum's sister) and Nick's mum went out. She reported that Nick's mum, "ignored him, shunned him and often left him at home alone" and that he was 'dirty and neglected' by his mother. She told the hearing that Nick's mum wanted him to stay in his room. 
As Nick got older she suggests he didn't receive proper nutrition and stated that he was 'awkward' around other children.

​Nick was living in Big Bend, Wisconsin with his mother, stepfather and younger brother when he had the great misfortune to meet Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

Nick's mother, Stephanie Goldammer, was interviewed by Detective Angela Maholy on the 16th June, 2015 at the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office.
In relation to Nick only, Stephanie described Nick as having the mind of a 15 or 16 year old due to his autism, reporting that he had once taken medication for his condition but had decided himself he didn't need to take it, a decision she had agreed with. She mentioned that Nick didn't have anger issues, rather, he could get frustrated at times, crying as a result. She said Nick had never done anything violent, but could get upset when scolded, "Huffy and puffy like a kid". She regarded Nick as being good natured and honest. 

Nick's stepfather, Charles Goldammer, was interviewed by Detective Stan Hancock on the 16th June, 2015 at the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office.
In relation to Nick only, Nick's stepfather said, ​"He (Nick) doesn't do drugs or drink. He's a clean-cut kid". He said that Nick would never have a mind older than a 12 year old. He stated that Nick, "Can't handle authority" and used the example of Nick's messy room to express this, stating that, "He's (Nick) just lazy". When asked to describe Nick, Charles responded, "He's (Nick) pretty quiet, to himself". He said he would encourage Nick to go out and 'mingle' but Nick wouldn't want to, Nick's reason being that, "Everybody backstabs you". He reported that Nick played a lot of video games.

Nick's mother passed away on June 14th, 2021, aged 52. 
​Nick's stepfather, Charles Goldammer, is a registered sex offender, allegedly convicted, in 1998, for a 4th degree sexual assault involving a 16 year old girl. 

Nick underwent two clinical psychology assessments for his 2018 trial, one presented by Dr Kent Franks, who was hired by Nick's defence team, and the other by Dr Wesley, who was hired by the prosecution team, to decide if Nick was competent to stand trial. Their reports are not covered in depth here.
Both doctors reached different conclusions for a multitude of different reasons, the most obvious being that one worked for the defence team, and the other for the prosecution team.

In Dr Franks' opinion, Nick has level 2 autism spectrum disorder, as reported in Nick's school and social security records.
Dr Franks concluded Nick would require substantial support with accompanying intellectual opinion in order to function adequately, as well as supervision and structure.
In laymen's terms, this basically means Nick needs someone to look out for his needs during activities related to daily living, for example, helping him with grooming, cooking, laundry etc, but, even with that help, Dr Franks still felt Nick would still have an intellectual impairment which could pose a danger to himself or others.
Dr Franks recorded Nick as having an IQ of 82 which ranks as 12/100. This means 82% of the population has an IQ higher than Nick. 

Dr Robert Denney, working for the prosecution team, claimed that Dr Franks didn't assess the IQ test properly. Dr Denney assessed Nick to have level 1 autism. In Dr Denney's opinion, Nick does not have an intellectual disability.
You only have to watch Nick's media interviews and his police interview, to realise that Nick does have an intellectual disability. 

People who have level 1 ASD do not require a lot of support. People who have level 2 ASD require substantial support. 
​In our opinion, Nick has level 2 ASD.​
