Summary
Just go with your gut. Those were the five words. That was everything the law allowed Taylor Parker’s clinic to say when someone called and asked whether Parker was really pregnant. The clinic manager knew the truth. Taylor Parker had undergone a hysterectomy years earlier. The pregnancy she had been performing for nine months — the silicone belly, the stolen ultrasound images, the gender reveal, the nursery — was physically impossible. But HIPAA protected Parker’s medical records. And Reagan Simmons-Hancock, the twenty-one-year-old mother who had befriended Parker after hiring her as a wedding photographer, had no idea what was coming. On October 9, 2020, Parker went to Reagan’s home in New Boston, Texas. Reagan was thirty-five weeks pregnant with her second daughter. The medical examiner documented over a hundred and fifty injuries to her body. Parker cut the unborn baby from Reagan and fled toward Oklahoma. The infant, Braxlynn Sage Hancock, did not survive. Parker was pulled over by a trooper with the baby in her lap. At the hospital, doctors confirmed she had not given birth. She did not have a uterus. A jury convicted Parker of capital murder in one hour. She is the youngest woman on Texas death row. Her appeals have been exhausted through the U.S. Supreme Court. Reagan’s family is now fighting for legislation that would let doctors warn people when a pregnancy is being faked — closing the five-word gap that cost their daughter’s life.
