Where is Taylor Parker now? Netflix documentary 'Maternal Instinct' revisits how she faked her pregnancy — and ended up on death row.
Netflix's new true crime documentary pulls back the curtain on a murder that shocked the nation in 2020, leading to Taylor Parker becoming the youngest woman on Texas's death row.
Maternal Instinct premiered on Netflix on June 12. The documentary unravels a headline-making crime that occurred in Texas in October 2020. Parker, then 27, claimed that she had given birth after she was pulled over by a state trooper on the way to the hospital.
However, once she was examined by doctors, it became clear that Parker had not recently given birth as she had claimed. In fact, Parker had had a hysterectomy after the birth of her second child, more than five years earlier. That meant the baby she said was hers — which was pronounced dead at the hospital — and her hog trapper boyfriend Wade Griffin's was not. The infant, Braxlynn, was actually the child of 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock, who had hired Parker to photograph her wedding in 2019.

Case of Texas woman on death row over grisly murder back in spotlight
New film revives story of Taylor Parker, convicted in 2022 of cutting unborn daughter from womb of friend she killed
In an America so often saturated with brutal crime stories, it takes special circumstances to truly register shock.
But the story of Taylor Parker, now sitting on a Texas death row after being convicted of murdering her pregnant friend Reagan Simmons-Hancock in 2020 and cutting her unborn daughter Braxlynn from her womb, is horrific in part because it appears almost against nature itself.
Such a terrifying act is also rare. Fetal abductions by maternal evisceration number just 15 in the US from 1987 to 2011, and perhaps 100 worldwide. Until 1973, none had ever been recorded in the US.
