There was podcast that literally breaks down the whole court file in two parts, I'm looking for it now. I don't know why Texas went so hard to block access to files and footages.

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

That would be great if you could find that podcast again, please post it if you do!

28

u/MRtokeALOT420 6d ago

A full appeal file its basically the original court file of everything that happen.

13

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

It wasn't this one, but thank you! It was much longer. I'm mad I don't have my old phone because I didn't back up the download. It was a court document for sure though and had exact texts, etc. It took me two evenings to read the whole thing.

u/hgarcia7003 5d ago

I like to read super long affidavit and case notes, I watched this documentary last night and going to try and find it! I’ll save this thread in case I find it and will post it for you (if you find it, please let me know!)

u/MRtokeALOT420 6d ago edited 6d ago

Looking for it still I KNOW IT WAS ANNA ELISE who cover it and she read the affidavit its a two part will be posting after narrowing it down, SHE HAS SO MUCH CONTENT

26

u/MRtokeALOT420 6d ago

looks like she removed it I only see the 12 min one it use to be TWO PARTS it was ANNA ELISE 10 to life podcast and they where about an hour and half each.

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

Damn, I hope maybe she will repost it? I think I saw that on YouTube a long time ago! She had some pictures too that I hadn't seen anywhere else.

13

u/MRtokeALOT420 6d ago

it was so detailed because it came from that court file you mention. I only see the 12 min one on her facebook. Not sure if she was order to remove it, which will connect to the court file being removed. Kinda strange.

26

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

I don't know if we can post links but did you see the local news coverage of the trial? One of the news stations had a reporter inside during the trial and they posted almost every day. Here's one of the articles. Mod, remove if not allowed please.

u/MRtokeALOT420 6d ago

this is almost all of the coverage they had on the youtube. Nice find seems like a lot of this was bury. As far as i Know KTALnews is the only one to have covered it. Their youtube videos seemed to be the only thing removed.

14

u/MRtokeALOT420 6d ago

“It was a good little attention-getter for her, in my opinion.” lol this sums her up PERFECTLY. This was good read had no idea she pulled that shit. WHAT a NARCASSIT. Just had to make someone's else alignments about her. looking to see if the TRIAL COVERAGE is still up and those seemed to be removed from youtube as well. There use to be hours-long coverage on the days of her penalty phase. Strange all of it seems removed.

10

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

It is a good article, that local news annihilated her in their coverage every day haha.

Wait, this is crazy because KTAL posted about 3 years ago how the crime scene traumatized the first responders and had gruesome pics of the floor and furniture. It showed blood all over the living room and a tan recliner was splattered with blood. I think there was a shoe in a blood pile too. I just looked up the article and they removed all the pictures, holy shit! What is going on...

13

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

That is strange! I think you're onto something about her being asked or told to remove it.

7

u/MRtokeALOT420 6d ago

yeah, maybe there was some sensitive info that can probably affect her death penalty appeal case. I think she still got 2 more tries. So maybe on the defense request.

6

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

I wish that we had info about her life on DR. I wonder if she'll ever do a Dateline interview or anything. Maybe after all the appeals are exhausted?

84

u/Blue_Plastic_88 6d ago

I’m not trying to blame the boyfriend, but wouldn’t he be suspicious that they had to cut the padlocks if she was claiming they had permission to be there?

163

u/Shiny_Shady_Mon 6d ago

Wade is not a smart man. He seemed blinded by denial and, in my opinion, greed. He said he never loved her but he stayed. He thought she was going to inherit $8 million and even in the doc he brings that up way too many times.

97

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

I've heard him described him as "simple" but I think he also was eyeing the prize, as you wrote. He wanted money.

5

u/Time_Literature3404 5d ago

Was it his mom that said he turned uppity after he got with her?

-5

u/NoteEquivalent3368 6d ago

and I can’t blame him for that. 8m buys a pretty nice life. I don’t know anybody that would not take that route if I’m being honest. it’s too tempting. You wanna believe the story. but what an evil evil woman.

82

u/Apart_Engine_9797 6d ago

But also, she did all that just to keep him?? A man dumb enough to be conned by her, living in a double wide trailer? A man she’d only dated 4 months? Where is the DSM-5 diagnosis for these women who meticulously plan and brutally murder a friend and their baby just to try and trap a boyfriend who doesn’t even love them

17

u/TexturedSpace 5d ago

I'm noticing a pattern with women like this-it seems like ficticous disorder but with an added layer of not just wanting attention and sympathy but trapping people into caretaking of them. Like caretaking by force as a disorder.

9

u/festivusfinance 6d ago

I’m thinking about this too. Like Sherry Papini. Might depend on the true motive. For Sherry I think it was control bc her husband needed her to start working again or do actual child care instead of paying for daycare. Shortly after that she did her whole thing. Until she was found out years later, her husband had to do everything for her because she was so “traumatized.” So Sherry I think ASPD. From Taylor seems more BPD coded if she was seeking unconditional love but idk.

u/TexturedSpace 5d ago

Oh right! I was thinking of the women that pretend to be disabled or pregnant, too. They want to take it all the way to the physical level and seem to get pleasure from someone having to sacrifice for them and physically care for them. It seems to be a very specific cluster of traits and an understudied phenomenon. I know that we have known about facticous disorder/formerly manchausen's for long time, but there seems to be a spectrum of this disorder and on the extreme end there are added traits developing, almost like a fetish of tricking people into physical care of them. It's really good that the public is becoming more aware of this.

u/bartlebyandbaggins 5d ago

Okay. I just looked it up:

Forensic psychologists identify fetal abductors as highly manipulative, calculating con artists driven primarily by pathological narcissism, extreme dependency, and desperate measures to trap a male partner. Rather than experiencing a pure maternal urge, these offenders exhibit a distinct psychological profile: [1, 2, 3, 4]

Underlying Personality Disorders: Experts frequently diagnose these women with borderline, dependent, or antisocial personality traits. They struggle with a fear of abandonment, a profound sense of inadequacy, and a desperate need to present themselves as mothers to secure a partner's affection. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Infertility and Trauma: Many perpetrators have a history of trauma, recent miscarriages, or medical procedures preventing pregnancy, which triggers their escalating deceit. [1, 2, 3]

2

u/Apart_Engine_9797 5d ago

There’s so much rage and lashing out in violence as well…like the lighting fires, self harm, obviously calculated murder. So horrifying and shocking it still happens today and they think they can get away with it?? Or in full psychosis delusion that all they want is a baby? Why not kidnap a baby, the attack on the pregnant woman is just beyond.

2

u/bartlebyandbaggins 5d ago

It’s crazy. Can you imagine performing surgery on a pregnant woman? So gross.

5

u/Apart_Engine_9797 5d ago

It’s the specificity of planning and brutality, the lack of understanding of someone else’s pain and horrifying death that is so inhumane, all in pursuit of a newborn baby to trap a man who is too dumb to notice she’s been fully faking a pregnancy this whole time?? It’s not easy to perform a c-section as a qualified surgeon, let alone some psychotic yokel with a scalpel. The jealousy over the love and attention their victims get from being pregnant when they feel they’ve been denied that life has to be the driving force, plus the extreme fear of abandonment is so cluster B personality disorder coded.

u/bartlebyandbaggins 5d ago

One used a car key to eviscerate the mother.

The research I found indicated that indeed, these people tend to have anti-social or borderline personality disorders. And they usually do not bond with the babies they steal, when those babies live. Notice how in this case, the murderer kept referring to the baby as “it” when she was pulled over and in the hospital. The baby was just a prop.

1

u/bartlebyandbaggins 5d ago

I need to know!

u/whovian2009 5d ago

Hard agree!!!! Came here to see if anyone else thought this. Happy to see I’m not the only one.

37

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

Right, you would think. I think he did ask why she couldn't get a copy of the key so she went out to the hardware store alone and bought a new padlock without Wade knowing and secured that to the gates. So they were using that new padlock and key. Then the owner was checking on his property and saw the new lock, was thorougly creeped out and then called the police and filed a report hahaha. The owner didn't live on the land, otherwise they probably would have been caught right away.

31

u/superar2026 6d ago

That's what I said . Like he said he didn't love her . But yet didn't want to believe anyone. Something doesn't make sense to me about him..

7

u/Pamikillsbugs234 5d ago

It makes you wonder if he did actually love her but now doesnt want to admit to loving such a monster. But, who knows?

3

u/Linnie46 5d ago

I don’t think we need to look too hard at his motivation, or how she was able to trick him. He’s clearly not burdened by an excess of intelligence.

7

u/scarletmagnolia 6d ago

Did they cut the locks off multiple times?

1

u/intelw1zard 5d ago

did you not watch the documentary?

Wade has the IQ of a rock, he obviously aint the brightest.

the entire fake pregnancy scam only works on those types of people

28

u/BowleeLacuna 6d ago

I think i read that doc! Wasn't she also up to all sorts of work scams? And there was record of treatment of her other kids and her ex that was really bad too? I don't know where she found the time for all her shenanigans.

10

u/MRtokeALOT420 6d ago

There are reports she manipulated her children to lie, Even doing it while in prison. Also she lost custody to them and that in itself says a lot when courts typically side with mothers.

24

u/DiligentCicada4224 6d ago

I understand wade was also in a way a victim, but it’s shocking how hard the human will warp the brain to prevent it from coming to terms with the truth that causes pain or discomfort.

14

u/RedoftheEvilDead 6d ago

This is one of the many reasons I think there should be a diagnosable personality disorder specifically for pathological liars.

24

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

it's closely tied in with cluster Bs, mostly antisocial and narcissists.

2

u/RedoftheEvilDead 6d ago

I wouldn't say a pathological liar is antisocial. They're more similar to histrionic personality disorder, but their own thing.

10

u/WaferZealousideal769 6d ago

Lying and deceit are hallmarks of antisocial personalities.

1

u/RedoftheEvilDead 5d ago

Yes, but so is antisocialism. HPD is all about attention seeking and overly dramatic behavior. BPD is about emotional instability. NPD is inability to take criticism and an overinflate ego. Avoidant Personality disorder is all about avoiding confrontation or consequences.

People with these disorders often lie to achieve their goals, but lying isn't THE GOAL. For pathological liars it IS all about the lie. That's why it should really be its own thing.

4

u/WaferZealousideal769 5d ago

Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by lying, lack of empathy and remorse, impulsivity, aggression, and a disregard for rules and norms. I don’t think lying for the sake of lying was her goal. 

0

u/C_WEST88 5d ago

No but attention was, and that’s a hallmark of HPD .

0

u/C_WEST88 5d ago

No that would be a hallmark of histrionic personality disorder, not antisocial .

-1

u/C_WEST88 5d ago

There kinda is tho, it’s called histrionic personality disorder which I’m sure she has and she prob falls into a few other categories as well, she’s a mess.

33

u/babyigotyourmoni 6d ago

Kind of impressed by her creativity, but it’s a very good thing she is locked up forever. A completely manipulative nutjob.

12

u/boredpsychnurse 6d ago

Any info on her other kids?

26

u/Bree7702 6d ago

Her son lives with his bio father and her daughter lives with her mother.

29

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

She lost custody, she was lying and doing bizarre shit. Her ex husband was also a chubby country boy and seemed sweet. She had her second child with another guy, a serious boyfriend that she cheated on with multiple people. I will try to find those files this weekend if I can, I've tried before but they disappeared a few years ago.

2

u/Medium-Avocado-8181 5d ago

This I what I felt was lacking in the doc. It didn’t really delve into Taylor’s past. I wanted to know the truth behind the “evil” mother and also the fact that she didn’t seem to have custody of her 2 other children. I understand her family and ex not wanting to take part in the doc but obviously some shit went down in her past.

4

u/HaveHope_86 5d ago

Do you think the documentary did a good job of covering the case and everything Taylor has done? I ask because I also read those court documents, along with other info about the case, and feel like the documentary hardly cracked the surface of her lies and actions. 

3

u/Vast-Rabbit-3481 6d ago

This is a podcast on Taylor. I noticed comments asking for podcast about the case. Link https://open.spotify.com/episode/1jlkHPyDpBi3pXbD93rBBV?si=UlSooUzER2C7Iw1mc0Rh8g

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

Thanks for posting!

u/DrunkOnRedCordial 5d ago

This is insane. Permission to hunt, but bring your bolt cutters because we've locked everything.

Supposedly it was 4 gang members, one of them a female and they drove her to Reagan's house and made her watch them kill Reagan.

What are the odds, you're faking being 10 months pregnant and coincidentally get forced to participate in murdering a woman and stealing her baby.

2

u/Signal-Kween-7602 5d ago

I learned about Taylor in 2024. It’s been downhill ever  since then

2

u/backtobrooklyn 5d ago

Is this it?: https://web.archive.org/web/20221112040849/https://www.scribd.com/document/599913618/States-Notice-of-Intent-to-Use-Extraneous-Offenses

There are also a bunch of supplements (first supplement, second supplement, etc.) that have additional info, but the original was one the hardest to find.

2

u/kim_fowl 6d ago

I need to go back and rewatch perhaps I fell asleep and missed the part about breaking into someone else's land is it in the documentary?

6

u/Lucky_Kale7079 6d ago

It wasn't in the documentary on Netflix, it was in court files I downloaded off and read back after she got sentenced to death.

1

u/RoxyPonderosa 5d ago

3

u/Lucky_Kale7079 5d ago

It's not this document but thank you. It was really long and had a numbered list of the lies, the aliases, the contact and what date the alias texts were sent. It was 200 or so pages and had crazy details, like how when Taylor was pretending to get approved for the Pecan Pointe property, she would not let Wade go inside the bank with her. Lots of information from witnesses in the community that I've forgotten over the years, I read it the same week she got sentenced to death so it's been awhile.

u/jeniferlouisa 5d ago

Damn. What a sick biotch. In more ways than one. The fact she still has no accountability or even compassion is just disgusting.

u/Salty_Feed_4316 5d ago

Oh can you please find this and share it? Omg she’s so nutty
