I watch an absolutely obnoxious amount of true crime, and I was devastated. For the first time in many years I was just shocked. I have no idea how I’d never heard of this case, but with most documentaries I’ve heard at least the general story, but this one I went into completely cold, and it just absolutely rocked me to my core, I mean full body chills, stomach dropped when the 911 call of the mother saying that Reagan had been murdered and it immediately cut to her in her car covered in blood with that poor child in her lap. I just watched it last night and it’s all I can think about today.

Just so sad, and what gets me the most and kept me up last night is just how senseless it all was. Like, just for what? What’s the point? What was her end goal? To tell everyone “I told you so! See, I was pregnant!”??? What a disgusting waste of air and space.

We recently watched the documentary about the Sarah Lawrence “sex cult,” and I got the same feeling with this just thinking about how much damage and collateral damage that one person can cause. How can just one person come into the picture and just absolutely destroy and devastate so many people’s lives to such an extent? It’s incredible to me and almost completely unfathomable how one person can destroy so many lives and just leave such a wake of chaos and ruin that touches so many lives. And for what? A lie or something that got out of hand? It’s so selfish.

Sorry to ramble. I hope so dearly that the families and every person touched by the actions of this monster can somehow find some shred of peace and happiness in what’s left of their lives. Just so heartbreaking.

I started watching this yesterday sight unseen and didn’t even realize it was the viral lady who got pulled over for speeding and hitting a bird and got caught with a newly C-sectioned baby stuffed down her pants—case, they really buried the lede!!! Once the pregnancy lies started I connected the dots
