Gypsy-Rose Blanchard

In June 2015, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard was found stabbed to death in her Springfield, Missouri home. Her daughter, Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, and Gypsy's online boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, fled Missouri and were arrested days later after social-media activity and neighbor tips led investigators to them. Gypsy-Rose pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a ten-year sentence; Godejohn was convicted of first-degree murder and given life without parole. The case drew national attention after revelations that Dee Dee had falsified and inflicted illnesses on Gypsy-Rose, a pattern described as Munchausen by proxy, and key evidence included online communications, surveillance footage, and the traced IP address from Facebook posts.

Kevin Spacey

Multiple people accused a prominent actor of sexual assault and harassment beginning in October 2017, prompting criminal investigations in the United States and the United Kingdom and the actor's removal from film and TV projects. The first public accusation came from Anthony Rapp on 2017-10-29, followed by several additional accusers including current and former colleagues; investigations took place in Los Angeles, New York and London. The actor was found not liable in a 2022 New York civil suit and was acquitted by a London jury in 2023; no criminal conviction resulted. Key evidence included witness statements from accusers and workplace complainants, and the cases resulted in dropped charges and acquittal rather than a criminal conviction.

Edward Mordake

A widely circulated 19th-century legend describes Edward Mordake as an English heir born with a second, whispering face on the back of his head who allegedly begged doctors to remove it and died by suicide at age 23. The story first appeared in popular press and was later reprinted in a medical curiosities encyclopedia, but no contemporary medical records or verifiable primary sources have been found. Modern researchers and fact-checkers regard the account as apocryphal and likely a literary fabrication, with possible retrospective medical explanations (parasitic twin, diprosopus) suggested. The case remains a cultural curiosity rather than an evidentiary forensic matter, with the key 'evidence' limited to newspaper articles and secondary retellings.

Woody Allen

A child alleged that filmmaker Woody Allen inappropriately touched her while visiting Mia Farrow's Bridgewater, Connecticut home in August 1992. The allegation led Allen to file custody proceedings and prompted multiple investigations, including a six-month Yale-New Haven review and a state child welfare inquiry. A judge in the custody case described Allen's conduct with the child as "grossly inappropriate" but not sexual and the state prosecutor declined to file criminal charges despite stating there was "probable cause." The child-welfare agency later closed the case as unfounded; Allen has denied the allegation and was never charged.
