1:14:32Now PlayingThere are true crime stories that are hard to believe, and then there is Taylor Parker, a Texas woman who convinced the people around her that she was pregnant, even though she had already had a hysterectomy and could not carry a child. But as her due date came and went, the lie did not collapse quietly. Taylor Parker murdered 21-year-old Reagan Simmons Hancock, a pregnant mother she knew, and cut Reagan’s baby from her womb in a desperate attempt to pass the newborn off as her own. On this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield walks through the jaw-dropping case behind Netflix’s Maternal Instinct and sits down with criminologist Dr. Casey Jordan to talk about the psychology behind Taylor Parker’s web of lies, the fake illnesses and fake identities that came before the fake pregnancy, the people who believed her, and how a con built on attention and deception escalated into one of the most disturbing murders in recent memory.
