How a Fake Pregnancy Led to a Brutal Murder | Taylor Parker & Reagan Hancock

Skip straight to the case: (7:27)

Taylor Parker was convicted in Texas for the 2020 murder of Reagan Hancock, a 21-year-old pregnant woman. Prosecutors said Taylor had spent months faking a pregnancy to keep her boyfriend from leaving her, creating fake medical records, staging baby-related events, and presenting herself as expecting a child. In October 2020, she went to Reagan’s home, killed her, cut her unborn baby from her womb, and then attempted to pass the newborn off as her own. Neither Reagan or the baby survived.
