Into The Weeds Podcast is a podcast presented by mother and daughter duo, Amber and Alaura, who investigate a range of topics, including True Crime.
On January 20th 2025, Amber and Laura shared information they obtained following a FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) request which resulted in them obtaining information about a series of videos Nicholas Godejohn sent to Gypsy prior to Dee Dee’s murder, as well as Nick’s internet search history.
This information was contained within the Case file, presented in a Supplemental Police Report authored by Stan Hancock, dated 29th November, 2017.
Thank you ladies for kindly sharing the information!
Unfortunately, the information contained within the report does not offer all the dates for when the videos were made or for when the internet searches were performed.
There are 2 case files associated with the case.
Parts of Case File One are publicly available, no parts of the second case file have been released.
But stay posted. Into The Weeds Podcast have released news of another FOIA request that has just been approved. (March, 2025).
Nicholas Paul Curry, later known as Nicholas Paul Godejohn, was born on May 20, 1989, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, to Stephanie Curry and Robert ‘Bobby’ Godejohn. Both parents were 20 years old at the time.
Nick’s birth was medically complicated: after a 13-hour labour, doctors used suction assistance, and the umbilical cord was found wrapped twice around his neck. He required immediate resuscitation. Medical staff warned that the oxygen deprivation could cause developmental delays, a prediction that would prove accurate.
In a report prepared for trial, Bobby Godejohn alleged that Stephanie may have used alcohol and drugs during her pregnancy. Whether this was true or a reflection of strained relations after their separation remains unclear. The couple’s relationship ended when Nick was about four, after which he lived primarily with his mother. In the television program Killer Couples (2019), Nick recalled, “From that time forward, I was different from everyone else.”
As a single mother in her early twenties, Stephanie worked multiple jobs, including waitressing, to provide for her household. The demands of work left her with limited time to meet Nick’s emotional needs, and he spent much of his early childhood alone.
Allegations of neglect were later raised by Bob, including a claim that Nick became ill after eating food Stephanie brought home from work and that she did not seek medical attention. In a pre-trial questionnaire, Bob also noted that Stephanie ‘went through boyfriends back and forth,’ describing a home life with frequent changes in household dynamics.
Images relating to Nick’s birth and early years, released through FOIA in 2025, shed further light on the challenges surrounding his upbringing. It is difficult to describe his childhood as anything other than deeply troubled.
At Nick’s appeal, his mother, Stephanie, testified that his father, Bobby, was violent towards her during her pregnancy and continued to be abusive after Nick’s birth, until Nick was around two or three years old. At that point, she ended the relationship. Stephanie further alleged that the abuse did not stop after the separation. She accused Bobby of stalking her and, on one occasion, threatening her with a knife.
Her account of Bobby’s behaviour was supported by her brother, who described Stephanie as ‘hard working’ and Bobby as a man who ‘never actually held a job.’ According to Stephanie, many of her relationships following Bobby also involved partners who drank heavily and were physically violent towards her.
These repeated experiences of abuse not only shaped her own life but inevitably influenced the environment in which Nick was raised.
According to his father, Nick displayed what he described as classic symptoms of autism during childhood. This included head-banging behaviour, such as hitting his head against walls, as well as rocking back and forth. He reportedly had difficulty forming friendships with peers, preferred solitary activities, and collected items such as rocks and action figures.
During a pre-trial psychological assessment, Nick disclosed that he experienced a psychotic episode at the age of 13, involving hallucinations and hearing seven or eight distinct voices. In the television program Killer Couples (2019), he described further episodes, though it is unclear whether he recognised them as psychotic in nature. He recalled a moment in his early life when he sensed “something clicking” within himself, leading him to the realisation, “I knew there was something different about myself that I didn’t understand.”
Nick reported that at age 14 he first encountered what he referred to as ‘it,‘ or ‘the thing’ – something he described as ‘jeopardising my inner happiness, my peace.’
In another recollection, he described looking into a mirror in his grandmother’s darkened room and noticing an unrecognisable shape in his eye, which was quickly overtaken by a shadow. He claimed this shape seemed to introduce itself, as if to say, ‘I’m good. I’m here. You created me.’
He characterised this presence as a ‘dark shadow part of me that really is triggered by anger,’ a side of himself ‘completely different to the sweet, innocent me that I wake up to every day.’ Nick expressed a desire to understand ‘who that is, what that is,’ but admitted he was afraid to explore it. (All quotations from Killer Couples, 2019).
During his high school years, Nick lived with his father before returning to his mother’s care in 2008, when she married Charles Goldammer. Shortly after, Nick’s half-brother was born.
After leaving high school, Nick recalled, “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).
Initially, he received social security benefits before obtaining employment at Little Caesars, where his primary role was to stand outside the store holding a sign to attract customers. He briefly attempted work in the kitchen but, by his own account, this did not go well – one incident involved him dropping a pizza.
Nick remained at Little Caesars for approximately 13 months, leaving after a dispute with a new manager.
According to his stepfather, Charles Goldammer, the conflict arose when the manager confronted Nick about taking regular breaks during his four-hour shifts. This would ultimately be Nick’s only paid employment.
Before meeting Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Nick reported having one confirmed girlfriend. He described the relationship as being with his only friend’s younger sister, who, like him, was on the autism spectrum. They dated for a couple of months and Nick claims they were sexually active during that time.
At Nick’s 2024 hearing for a new trial, his maternal uncle, Paul Curry, testified that Nick was ‘different’ from other children. He stated that he often saw Nick talking to himself and believed his thought processes were underdeveloped compared to his peers. He claimed Nick ‘didn’t know how to relate to people and lacked communication skills,’ citing one incident in which Nick was bullied but failed to recognise it as bullying.
Paul further alleged that Nick had not been taught basic hygiene practices and that, after returning to live with his mother, he spent much of his time online, sometimes arguing with his stepfather about viewing content that was ‘explicit in nature.’
Nick’s first cousin, Amber Morris – older than Nick by two months – also testified. She said she spent significant time with him between the ages of eight and thirteen. According to Amber, she and Nick were often left home alone while her mother (Stephanie’s sister) and Nick’s mother went out. She claimed Stephanie ‘ignored him, shunned him and often left him at home alone,’ describing him as ‘dirty and neglected’ and stating that his mother preferred him to stay in his room.
Amber also suggested that as Nick grew older, he did not receive proper nutrition and was ‘awkward’ around other children.
By the time Nick encountered Gypsy Rose Blanchard, he was living in Big Bend, Wisconsin, with his mother, stepfather, and younger brother, circumstances that would soon set the stage for the events that followed.
On June 16, 2015, Nick’s mother, Stephanie Goldammer, was interviewed by Detective Angela Maholy at the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office. Speaking specifically about Nick, she described him as having the mental maturity of a 15 or 16-year-old due to his autism. She stated that he had previously taken medication for his condition but had decided on his own to stop taking it, a decision she supported.
Stephanie said Nick did not have anger issues, although he could become frustrated and sometimes cry as a result.
She described him as good-natured and honest, explaining that he could become ‘huffy and puffy like a kid’ if scolded, but that he had never been violent.
That same day, Nick’s stepfather, Charles Goldammer, was interviewed by Detective Stan Hancock at the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office. He characterised Nick as ‘a clean-cut kid’ who did not use drugs or alcohol, but said that mentally he would never advance beyond the age of 12.
He added that Nick ‘can’t handle authority,’ using the example of his messy room to illustrate his point, and described him as ‘just lazy.’
Charles said Nick was quiet, kept to himself, and resisted encouragement to socialise, reportedly explaining that ‘everybody backstabs you.’
According to Charles, Nick spent a great deal of time playing video games.
Stephanie Goldammer died on June 14, 2021, at the age of 52.
Her husband, Charles Goldammer, is a registered sex offender, allegedly convicted in 1998 of fourth-degree sexual assault involving a 16-year-old girl.
Nick underwent two clinical psychology assessments for his 2018 trial – one conducted by Dr. Kent Franks, retained by the defence, and the other by Dr. Robert Denney, retained by the prosecution.
Their reports are not explored here in full detail, but it is worth noting that the two reached markedly different conclusions, perhaps unsurprisingly given that each was working for opposing sides.
Dr. Franks concluded that Nick met the criteria for Level 2 Autism Spectrum Disorder, a diagnosis supported by both his school records and social security documentation.
In Dr. Franks’ opinion, Nick would require substantial support to function adequately, including supervision and structured assistance in daily living activities such as grooming, cooking, and laundry. Even with that level of help, Dr. Franks believed Nick would still have an intellectual impairment significant enough to pose a risk to himself or others. He recorded Nick’s IQ as 82, placing him in approximately the 12th percentile, meaning that around 82% of the population would score higher.
By contrast, Dr. Denney disputed Dr. Franks’ administration and interpretation of the IQ assessment.
He diagnosed Nick with Level 1 Autism Spectrum Disorder, which indicates that the person requires minimal support, and asserted that Nick did not have an intellectual disability.
The difference in diagnoses is not academic; Level 1 ASD implies someone is capable of navigating most daily tasks with limited assistance, while Level 2 ASD reflects a need for substantial, ongoing support.
Based on the available evidence, including Nick’s presentation in police and media interviews, it is our assessment that Dr. Franks’ conclusion of Level 2 ASD is the more accurate reflection of his functioning.

Nick claims that following meeting Gypsy and Dee Dee at the cinema, Gypsy told him she had sent Dee Dee a bouquet of flowers as if gifted from him, in a further attempt to gain Dee Dee’s approval of their relationship. Nick claims that Gypsy showed him an image of the receipt for the purchase.
Gypsy has conveniently never addressed Nick’s claim, instead she has put forward multiple different ‘victim’ accounts as to what happened following the cinema trip, including Dee Dee, “slapping her in the face”, locking her, overnight, in the “pink” play shed – which was always blue and never pink – and making her sleep on the “dirt floor” therein – a floor that was always carpeted and was never a “dirt floor”.
Nick’s internet search history clearly shows that Nick searched for ‘Springfield Missouri flower service.’ Whilst this doesn’t prove that Gypsy purchased a bouquet of flowers on Nick’s behalf, possibly at his request, it does link to Nick’s claim. Lies always out.
Nick’s search history also reveals that he may well have looked at ways of doing what he really ought to have done, move to Missouri and make a life for himself and Gypsy.
What changed Nick’s most obvious option to one of searching for a ‘Murder kit’?
In our opinion, Gypsy.
Nick has stated many times that he asked Gypsy to run away with him and Gypsy said no.
We wonder if Dee Dee would still be alive had Dan Glidewell come to Gypsy’s rescue? We’re thinking, probably.
Nick”s search history also shows searches for ‘several pornographic web sites’, as well as searches for ‘extreme restraints’, ‘handcuffs’, ‘bondage PVC tape’, ‘mouth ball gag harness restraints’, ‘bullets’, and a ‘jungle knife’, which could link to the (not) ‘painless death’ Gypsy claimed she wanted Dee Dee to experience, and/or to their interests in BDSM.
In reading the transcripts of Nick’s videos to Gypsy that follow – which at times are extremely sexual, violent and disturbing – it is worth remembering Dan Glidewell’s sworn testimony at Nick’s appeal hearing, in which Dan claimed he and Gypsy would send explicit videos to each other and engage in role-playing, something Dan claims Gypsy introduced him to.
Did Nick really introduce Gypsy to BDSM, or was he just following suit?
The video transcripts reveal that Nicholas Godejohn wanted three things from Gypsy Rose Blanchard, “sex, affection and her staying true to him”.
Nick eventually gained one of those three things; sex, and even with that one thing, Gypsy would ultimately turn it against him to save herself, and label him a rapist, a claim she refuted at Nick’s trial.
The transcripts also show that Gypsy and Nick were aware of the convicted murderer Charles Manson, who, in 1969, instructed members of his ‘cult’ to commit a series of 9 murders he arguably orchestrated.
Whilst Manson didn’t actually kill anybody himself, he was subsequently charged with 7 counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.
Charles Manson received the death penalty, which was commuted to a life sentence with parole when the death penalty was abolished in the state in which he was charged.
Did Nick perhaps get angry and upset with a comparison he recognised applied more to Gypsy than it did to himself?
Gypsy also referenced Jeffrey Dahmer, another notorious serial killer, in her 2015 police interview, revealing she had an interest in true crime cases.
Coincidentally, one of Manson’s family members went by the nickname, ‘Gypsy’. Although she was not directly involved involved in the murders, she did ultimately serve 90 days in prison for intimidating a witness during Manson’s trial.
Nicholas Godejohn has always been open and honest about his dark side, stating in 2019 that he first saw what he referred to as, ‘it’, the ‘thing’, “Jeopardising my inner happiness, my peace”, when he was 14 years old. (Killer Couples, 2019).
Nick said he was always then 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”.
Nick spoke about wanting to understand, “Who that is. What that is”, but said he was terrified to explore it. (All quotes, Killer Couples, 2019).
Oh boy, did Gypsy Rose Blanchard help with that.
We are not excusing Nick’s behaviour, but we do wonder how his life would have turned out had he not met a woman who recognised his dark side and exploited it for her own ends.
It’s interesting to note in the transcripts of Nick’s videos as seen above, the constant juxtaposition of the two sides of himself Nick described in 2019; the two sides of himself he revealed almost 6 years before these video transcripts were made public.
Nicholas Godejohn could easily have kept quiet about his dark side post murder, and just played the role of sweet, innocent Nicholas Godejohn – a role played almost to perfection by Gypsy Rose Balnchard – but he didn’t.
Nick was truthful. Unlike his co-conspirator.
Gypsy has always claimed that Nick told her that if they had a daughter together, he would rape their daughter on her 13th birthday; she even reaffirmed this recently in March, 2025 during a TikTok live.
Final image below – (Gypsy) If they had a girl then their daughter had to lose her virginity to Nicholas because he would be the master of the household. She said when she turned thirteen she would explain this to their daughter and why she had to give her virginity to Nicholas.
Let that sink in.
