Taylor Parker spent months convincing those around her that she was expecting a child. The deception ended in one of Texas' most disturbing murder cases, a crime that left a young mother and her unborn daughter dead and ultimately placed Parker on death row.
Renewed attention has followed the release of Netflix's true crime documentary 'Maternal Instinct,' which revisits the 2020 killing of Reagan Simmons-Hancock and examines the elaborate web of lies that preceded it. Nearly six years after the murder, Parker remains imprisoned in Texas after exhausting another major avenue of appeal.
