Maternal Instinct Director Reveals Why Taylor Parker Didn’t Participate
What Happened to Reagan Hancock?
Reagan, 21, was almost 35 weeks pregnant when she was killed at her New Boston, Texas, home on the morning of Oct. 9—the day, Griffin told authorities, Parker said she was going to be induced.
Reagan’s husband Homer testified that Parker was at their house the night before his wife was killed, calling them “somewhat friends.” Before he went to bed, he said, he could hear them talking about Parker helping decorate their nursery.
He went to work early the next morning and, after a text exchange with Reagan that he found unusual, his “I love you” message at 8:33 a.m. went unanswered.
Reagan’s mother testified that, after Homer called to relay his concern, she went to their house and found her daughter face-down in the living room, blood everywhere. When emergency responders arrived and turned her over, they saw a cut across her belly.
Parker later confessed to Texas Ranger Joshua Mason, per an Oct. 13 probable cause affidavit obtained by KTAL News, that she used a small scalpel to remove Reagan’s unborn baby—a girl named Braxlynn Sage Hancock—from her womb.
An autopsy determined Reagan had been beaten, strangled and stabbed repeatedly.
