The Due Date: Taylor Parker and the Baby That Never Was

In October 2020, a frantic woman called 911 from an Oklahoma highway, claiming she had just given birth on the side of the road. Covered in blood and clutching a newborn baby, she begged first responders to help save her child. But there was one devastating problem. She had never been pregnant. In this episode of Serial Napper, we examine the shocking case of Taylor Parker, a woman who spent months convincing friends, family, and even her boyfriend that she was expecting a baby girl. She posted ultrasound photos, pregnancy updates, hospital visits, and nursery plans. She documented a future that didn't exist. As her fake due date approached, reality began closing in. What happened next would leave 21-year-old Reagan Hancock and her unborn daughter, Braxlynn, dead and send shockwaves across the country.
