Episode Description from the Publisher

In Texas, Netflix's new documentary Maternal Instinct is bringing fresh attention to the 2020 murder of 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock, killed in her own home by Taylor Parker, who had spent months faking a pregnancy using a silicone belly and forged ultrasounds; when her fabricated due date arrived with no baby, she drove to Reagan's home and killed her, attempting to take her unborn daughter. Parker was convicted of capital murder in 2022, sentenced to death, and the Supreme Court declined to intervene two weeks ago, leaving her legal options nearly exhausted.If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Crime House 24/7 to never miss a case!
