For a brief refresher on the events that transpired between June 10 and June 15, 2015, Godejohn arrived at Gypsy's house and repeatedly stabbed Dee Dee to death around 3 a.m. on June 10.

Nick and Gypsy packed their bags and stayed at a Days Inn for two nights before heading off to Wisconsin, where they arrived on June 13 and stayed in Godejohn's house with his mother, step-father and brother. On June 14, Gypsy posted a sinister and now famous message to Dee Dee's Facebook account that read, "That Bitch is dead!"

(She alleged in court that her intention had been to scare people into thinking that her mother had been killed and she had been kidnapped.) And it wasn't until the following day, June 15, that law enforcement traced that message to the Godejohn's IP address. That's when the SWAT team stormed in.

"All I know is the SWAT team came in this morning, took my wife and I out of here — something with my stepson," Charles Goldammer said to ABC12 at the time. "Supposedly he did something in Missouri, which we don't believe because he wouldn't hurt a fly."

In police tapes on HBO's Mommy Dead and Dearest documentary, we hear Godejohn's mother, Stephanie, offer her account of the couple's brief stay. "You know, it was weird because when I picked them up from the bus station, I even asked her, 'How's your mom doing? ... That might have been the first thing I asked her. No big deal, they acted like nothing."

Oxygen's two-hour special on Nick Godejohn's story and his part in the murder of Dee Dee Blancharde airs Saturday, July 13 at 7 p.m.
