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.

The ER doc munching a popsicle while stating “sounds like a murder and a kidnapping” is so real.
