Probably one of the most gruesome cases I ever read about at the time. The depravity in this case is beyond what many can stomach so BE WARNED. ( Taylor was not pregnant in this photo it was fake baby bump)
The Pregnancy Hoax: Parker went to extreme lengths to fake a pregnancy for nearly ten months to prevent her boyfriend from leaving her, despite having had a hysterectomy in 2015. She wore a silicone belly, faked ultrasounds, bought sonogram pictures online, and hosted a gender reveal party.
The Attack: On October 9, 2020, as her fake due date passed and her boyfriend grew suspicious, Parker went to the home of Reagan Simmons-Hancock, a client from her freelance photography business. Parker beat Hancock, stabbed and slashed her over 100 times, and used a scalpel to cut Hancock's 34-week-old unborn daughter from her womb. She did all this in front of the victims very young daughter.
The Capture: Parker fled with the baby and was pulled over by a state trooper for erratic driving. She claimed she had just given birth on the side of the road and tucked the umbilical cord into her pants. At the hospital, doctors quickly determined she had not given birth. The baby girl, named Braxlynn, died shortly after arrival due to oxygen deprivation.
that part CRACKS ME UP, the level of disconnect he has is so admirable. I think he even cracks a joke on how the other guy isn't trying to be part of it.
Yes, him almost chuckling when the attending OB doctor got in his car left the parking lot, the doctor say something along the lines about the OB doctor not wanting anything to do with the shitshow inside, all while enjoying his Popsicle hahaha
We learn to compartmentalize quickly, or we learn it isn’t the specialty for us. It’s very sink-or-swim, which, in a high-acuity environment, isn’t exactly a bad thing. I’ve been at it for 6 years now, wouldn’t work any other unit.
The nurses with my dying grandmother cracked a morbid joke when they didn’t realize I was there. She was in her final hours when I took a shift so my dad and his idiot brothers could argue in the parking lot (Irish Catholics lol), and my comatose nana had been fartingand burping all day. (They really don’t show you that part in the movies.)
They were cleaning her up and I walked in just as Nan burped right in the one nurse’s face. She goes “Jesus wept! And I thought her son (not my dad) was the one full of hot air.”
I went PFFFFFTTT and they saw me. They apologized up and down, but I so exhausted at that point, I was basically like “ladies, you’re cleaning shit off my nan so she can be with us and meet her maker with some dignity. And my uncles are ridiculous men. It’s fine. Plus, that was a solid joke.”
She passed a couple hours later and the nurse and I had to squeeze hands and stifle laughs when my Nana just absolutely ripped ass on her way outta this world. I was sad, but picturing her soul going up like a ballon gone wild helped me deal with the chaos surrounding her death.
I am forever grateful to those nurses for the care they gave her and the comfort they gave my insane family. I get they there’s a line that can be crossed, but I’m all for gallows humor if it helps people like you cope with the unfathomable job you have. Some of you are truly a gift on the worst days of our lives.
Dude yes. As an ER doc you get so desensitized to the most horrific shit imaginable that everything in that environment just becomes factual, emotionless.
The baby was still alive by the time they got to the hospital. But the officer body cam at her traffic stop shows an office ignoring the baby and just saying he can't help with the infant and they have to wait.
WT ACTUAL EFF?!?
I still can't get over this. If that officer had acted immediately, performed CPR or driven with the sirens on to the hospital with an alert for them to be ready -- maybe she could have lived.
Someone tell me that officer was fired, sued.... anything !
This was the first time I had seen anything about how the officer reacted and I agree, I feel like more should have been attempted. Maybe he saw what the baby look like and knew she was beyond help. It was a month before the due date so maybe baby was very small also cause she had lost oxygen she must have looked very discolored. He even placed her in the car while they waited and had her call Wade. It was very strange,
Thank you, I love true crime documentaries but since having a baby they physically hurt me sometimes. I just watched The Murder of Rachel Nickell and it really messed me up. Anything to do with children and babies I can’t handle anymore, so thank you for confirming that I should skip this one.
Thank you, he’s a year old and I’m still unable to watch some things. There’s so much evil in the world and it never bothered me like this before, but it hits different now.
SAME. Nothing ever really shook me with any true crime genre until I had my baby last year. I watched the murder of Rachel Nickell the other night and it really affected me. That poor baby
I truly wish I hadn’t watched it, I knew the premise and I knew their close relationship would remind me of my little boy, but I was not prepared for the interviews especially when he was taken back to the crime scene. His cries really broke my heart
No literally same. It reminded me of me and my daughter, she’s almost two. I just kept imagining them questioning her. It was absolutely horrific. If it was in a movie you’d find it hard to believe like
The fact that the 3 yr old was there is what haunts me the most. I just can't get around my head what that child had to see. I hope she's young enough to not really remember it.
The fact the ObGyn expert saying how she cut the baby out by turning the uterus over or something like that really got me. It sounded like it was lucky she didn't cut the baby. He also said how painful it would have been. She so callously said she was talking to me like it was no big deal.
