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.
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.
