Taylor Rene Parker was Convicted of Murder for Killing a Woman to Take Her Unborn Baby in Texas

Taylor Rene Parker, 29, was convicted of capital murder Monday for killing Reagan Simmons Hancock to take her unborn baby.

Hancock was stabbed and cut more than 100 times and had her skull crushed with a hammer in her New Boston, Texas, home by Parker. Parker later used the same scalpel to remove her unborn baby.

Parker's attorneys argued that the baby was never alive and moved to dismiss a kidnapping charge. However, prosecutors proved that several medical professionals testified the infant had a heartbeat when born.

Parker viewed numerous YouTube videos on delivering and caring for babies before the attack. She pretended to be pregnant for nearly ten months to keep her boyfriend around by faking ultrasounds, having a gender-reveal party, and even posting about her fake pregnancy on social media.
