A lady stands trial this week for some of the horrific crimes we’ve ever examine. She’s accused of murdering an expectant mom and stealing the unborn child from her womb — killing it within the course of.
Based on what’s come out in simply the primary day of her trial on Monday, Taylor Rene Parker of Simms, Texas might have carried out these horrible issues simply to maintain from telling her boyfriend the reality.
In early October of 2020, per opening statements by way of the Texarkana Gazette, Parker was feeling some strain from her earlier lies. She had informed her boyfriend she was anticipating a child to maintain him from breaking apart together with her some months earlier than. But as her fabricated due date obtained nearer, she didn’t know the place to go together with her lies subsequent. According to Assistant District Attorney Kelley Crisp, the 27-yr-outdated had gone to some critical lengths to make folks imagine her story:
“[Parker is] an actress of the highest order.”
Crisp argued Taylor had lied for almost 10 months. She placed on a faux abdomen to seem like pregnant, faked ultrasounds, posted updates on her social media accounts, named the kid, and even deliberate a complete gender reveal celebration — all for a child which didn’t even exist! It appears like one thing straight from a darkish comedy film, however sadly this resulted in a really actual tragedy…
On October 9 of 2020, Reagan Michelle Simmons-Hancock was in her dwelling together with her 3-yr-outdated daughter as she ready for the arrival of her second youngster, Braxlynn Sage, the subsequent month. The expectant mom was seven-and-a-half months into her being pregnant when the defendant entered her life.
According to an affidavit, Parker had informed her boyfriend she was going to pre-register for induced labor. She admitted she had deliberate to name in a “bomb threat” to the hospital sooner or later to “further delay” the arrival of her faux child.
Instead she selected to do the unthinkable. She allegedly entered Reagan’s dwelling and had a “physical altercation” together with her. The battle ended with the pregnant girl being “stabbed and cut” greater than 100 instances and having her cranium “crushed” with a hammer. Reagan died from the horrific accidents. She was solely 21 years outdated.
Just sickening… But sadly the horrors don’t cease there…

Taylor allegedly “forcibly removed” the unborn youngster from Reagan’s womb with a scalpel; this was all about getting the child. Crisp says the 27-yr-outdated fled the scene with the new child and left Reagan’s 3-yr-outdated daughter to cover within the bed room as her mom lay useless on the ground. When the sufferer’s husband couldn’t attain her by cellphone, he started to fret and despatched his mom-in-regulation to test on her. Jessie Brooks discovered her daughter — in a state nobody ought to ever seen anybody, a lot much less their youngster. Per Crisp:
“[Reagan’s husband] said he had a bad feeling and asked her to check on Reagan. [Jessie] walks in the garage, walks in the side door, and finds her daughter like that … When Reagan was rolled over, she was cut from hip to hip, and the baby had been pulled out.”
Just intestine-wrenching. That poor girl…
Law enforcement arrived to the house round 10:20 a.m. however sadly it was too late to save lots of Reagan. Police recall the house “looking like a slaughter house” after the crime. Meanwhile, the suspect was nonetheless on the run. According to the A.D.A., the lies solely continued.
After the alleged assault, Parker was pulled over by a Texas (*100*) Trooper in De Kalb as a result of she was dashing. She was discovered “performing CPR” on the toddler, saying she had simply given delivery on the facet of the street and the child “wasn’t breathing”. Shockingly, Taylor had apparently “stuffed Reagan’s placenta down her pants to make it look like she had given birth.”
WTF.
The officer rushed her to McCurtain Memorial Hospital in Idabel, Oklahoma. There, she refused to let medical practitioners study her — which, naturally, made them instantly suspicious. Parker was ultimately related to the crime once they realized she didn’t give delivery to the kid. Heartbreakingly, the child died on the hospital…
Crisp laid all of it out in her opening assertion, saying the 27-yr-outdated’s lies had been so piled up she “passed the point of no return”:
“The lies and fraud go on and on; the layers of fraud are staggering. You are going to have to understand the fraud to understand what happened on Oct. 9. This started months and months ahead of time until it passed the point of no return, and it ended up in homicide.”
Lies had been the main focus of the primary day of the trial.
Friends and former coworkers claimed this wasn’t her first time mendacity about stunning issues — based on their testimonies she’s lied about being pregnant, being eaten “up with cancer”, and — apparently — not having undergone a hysterectomy. Meaning she couldn’t have gotten pregnant for actual??
That’s based on Taylor’s ex-husband Hunter Parker. He even stated in some unspecified time in the future she lied about hiring a surrogate for the couple, a lie which led to their divorce. He testified he thought it was unusual his ex-spouse was saying she was pregnant together with her new boyfriend, as he knew she was unable to have any extra youngsters — however he by no means believed she would do something this drastic.
But as Crisp identified, this wasn’t about youngsters for Taylor. She didn’t need extra youngsters, the ADA argued:
“Taylor Parker didn’t want any more children. She killed Reagan and ripped her baby out to keep her boyfriend.”
Taylor is at present being held at Bowie County Jail, and her bond is a staggering $5 million. She has pleaded not responsible to at least one rely of capital homicide and one rely of non-capital homicide.
What’s her protection for this heinous crime? One of her attorneys, Jeff Harrelson, urged jurors to contemplate the entire angles and info of the case throughout Monday’s opening statements, saying:
“It’s a complicated case, factually and emotionally. The law is the lens and filter you must view these facts through. Sometimes it’s not black and white but a shade of gray.”
The trial is anticipated to final a month. If convicted of the crimes, Taylor faces the dying penalty.
Such a revolting state of affairs. Our hearts exit to Reagan’s household and family members. May she and Braxlynn relaxation in peace.
