Hello, hello, hello and welcome back to an all new episode of Serialiously with me, your host and your true crime bestestie, Annie Elise. It's Monday, which means we are in for a deep dive of an episode today. And when I tell you, I know I've told you before that I go through every internet rabbit hole into like the trenches of the internet and go down, you know the dark twisted corners everywhere. This case is the Mcca, okay? I first covered this case back when I first started my trrue Cime YouTube channel years ago, and there was so much information back then and there's even so much more now. So I actually think we may break this out into a two part episode for my podcast listeners only I think it's gonna to be a longer thing, but don't worry, we will release both episodes the exact same day. So you can binge it. You're not gonna have to wait. I'm not gonna do you dirty like that. We'll probably release just one supersized episode on YouTube, but we'll see how it goes as I get through this and as I edit it. But my point in coming back on here, there's actually a couple reasons. So first, if you watch Netflix regularly or if you're on TikTok or Instagram reels, you may have noticed that a few days ago, there was a documentary released on Netflix called Maternal Instinct. Now, I've seen a lot of clips going viral Like I said, I know this case backwards and forwards. I have for years, but I don't know how viral the documentary itself is going personally because I think that the name they chose is a little bit not good. But it is one of the most disturbing cases that I've covered to date And it's actually my highest performing YouTube video that I've ever done, which this way I had done this years ago. And it's just because it is that twisted and that many like shocks and hard lefts along the way where it's like you think you know where it's going, but you don't. And then you find out the backstory of this person and it's totally different. And unfortunately, like in true Netflix fashion, they left out So much more than I could ever even explain. Now not only did they leave out so much, but I think a lot of it is because they couldn't even get their hands on so much of the very important information that funnels into this case. because we like I said, we covered it years ago for the very first time. We FOIA, we did all of our due diligence, everything we need to do But the attorney general recently, like over the last couple of years, restricted FOIA releases on this case. Now, luckily, not only did we already have a ton of the information, but we also found a workaround because you know, we don't take no for an answer to where we were able to get not only all of the exhibits that were shown in the trial of this case. We got the nine hundred eleven calls, we got the bodycam footage, We got the full unedited interrogation video, got so much actual unedited uncut raw bodycam images that and bodycam footage that I even show on here because of how graphic it is, and you know YouTube would not allow me and I also just don't think that it needs to be put out there some of it. But my point is there is so much more than Netflix ever covered that anybody ever knew and we have our hands in all of it. We've got all of it for you guys. So what I wanted to do today is I wanted to Throw it back to the Reagan Hancock and Taylor Parker case. And like I said, get ready, buckle up. this is going to be a mega episode. Now, if you've ever listened to one of my reopened episodes on my second true crime feed T to Life, you know how it goes. Sometimes I'll pull bits and pieces from my old episodes in there just to give you the full story along the way rather than like a full new re record Because my equipment has changed over time, you may notice slight differences in audio here and there, although we'll do our best to clean it up, but just, you know, if you're watching the video version of this, you'll see my you know old little young Annie pop up on screen, then I'll come on and it'll be, you know, present day, Annie. And the point in doing that is really just to give you the full comprehensive case as best as we possibly can, all the information. and like I said, this is a very twisted one. So Let's just jump right in. Now really quickly before we get into the case, I do w to mention this. if you had a little bit of FOMO from CrimeCon because we had exclusive merch there, designs that we only sold there, fear not because we have officially launched all of that exclusive merch that you can grab right now. However, quantities are very, very limited, so it will probably go incredibly quickly But we have the exclusive designs that we only had there. We have the very popular and in demand sweatshirt that says Heller in embroidery. alsoso the Noted detective, just nosy, tumblr, so many new, cute, exclusive, brand new designs. So go check that out. quantities are limited, go to anieelast dot com and grab them now In October of twenty twenty, Reagan Simmons Hancock was living something pretty close to a fairy tale. She had a beautiful toddler little girl named Kinley, who she absolutely adored. She was married to her very loving husband, Homer Hancock. And best of all, she was pregnant with a new baby girl on the way, a little sister to Kinley. Now, Reagan could not have been happier. She was over the moon She was so excited about everything that was to come and her life just blooming and flourishing. But then in literally the blink of an eye, all of it was ripped away from her, literally in a way that no one could have ever even imagined. Now, when we cover these cases, a lot of the times people immediately look at the inner circle, right? Statistically speaking, it's generally the husband, a family member, a coworer, a friend. But it's very, very rare for an acquaintance to do something this brutal. Yet, that's exactly what happened here. That's exactly what happened to Reagan Rean was targeted by someone she only knew as a photographer that she had enlisted to help her out a little bit. anotherother woman named Taylor Parker. And once you find out why Taylor went after this beautiful innocent pregnant woman, guys, if you haven't heard this case before, your jaw is going to be on the floor, not just because of the motive in all of this, but because of how far Taylor was willing to go to get exactly what she wanted. and not only what she did to Reagan, but her history, things that Taylor had also done in the past. Now, as I mentioned at the top of this episode, Reagan and Taylor's case is one that I have talked about before. I've done the deep dive, I've done so much research into this case, and I think that really just says a lot about how unbelievable this case truly is How fascinated people are and how much more there is to uncover below the line. When I first dug into it back in twenty twenty two, I covered exactly what Taylor did to Reagan, why? And I also followed Taylor's time in the legal system. herer past, her lies, her heir to an oil industry. There's so much. And now we're gonna put everything we've learned, especially over the last year 'causeuse I've been still researching it for literally the last year into one episode, this episode, because we really have left no stone unturned. Our team was able to get in contact directly with the police departsis. We've been able to work with them and partner with them on this. We got all the footage, which means that I'm gonna give you today the full behind the scenes look into the truth of this case and everything that Netflix didn't show you. And again, just a quick disclaimer for all of my podcast listeners, I would encourage you even after you listen to this episode, to go watch it on YouTube because I think you will want to see a lot of this footage that I'm referencing. I think it's incredibly important to also have the visual aid. So just want to throw that out there. Taylor Parker is a twenty nine year old woman from Texas, and she has two children. She has a daughter and a son and her son being the youngest Both of her children have different fathers, and Taylor was looking for stability and for a family to love and call her own Her relationship with her son's father, Tommy, however It didn't work out, and the two of them ended up divorcing. Shortly after that relationship ended, Taylor met and married a man named Hunter. However, that relationship was reportedly also a roller coaster, and it ended in divorce in april twenty nineteen Literally weeks after the divorce, Taylor was thinking, you know, third time' a charm when she met this man named Wade Griffin Wade was a countryman, and in true fashion, they met at a rodeo The relationship took off and it moved very quickly. And very early into their relationship, Taylor actually confided in Wade that she was pregnant, but that she unfortunately had lost the baby So the loss brought the two of them closer and that Taylor really leaned on wade for support But as the relationship progressed and Wade began learning things about Taylor and who she really is Taylor started sharing some details about her life that would make anybody raise an eyebrow, or in my case, I guess like raise a huge eyebrow and make it never come down. I don't know So Taylor told Wade that she was actually inheriting millions of dollars, all in oil and gas royalties She went on to say that her mom Shaana, who she also referred to as fake Shaana, had put a hitout on her. So she told Wade how scared she was, and him being the nice guy that he is, allowed her to move into his home for safety But this quickly escalated when Taylor told him that this Sana or fake Sana or whatever was hacking into their phones and that the Mexican mafia was now involved, which led to a shootout with the FBI Gys, I wish I had my red flag here. like waave, w, waave Taylor said though, that this was all kept under wraps, which was why there was no media on it So outlandish, yes, insane, probably posossible I don't know, mayaybe who's to say always makes me rethink what I'm reaching for every day. I want lighter fabrics, better materials, pieces that just feel good and effortless the moment you put them on. And that's why I keep coming back to Quints and why I'm going to keep coming back to Qus every time because they focus on high quality essentials. Think breathable linen, soft organic cotton and washable silk, but they don't have the luxury markup It's like the rare balance where everything feels elevated, but still easy. And their denim is so soft and so easy to wear. their organic cotton sweaters are perfect for layering on, you know cool summer nights. And the best part is everything at Quince is priced fifty percent to eighty percent less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories, they cut out the middleman, so then you're paying for the quality they offer, but not the brand markup And it's not just clothing. Quint has really become a destination for elevated essentials across home, kitchen, bedding, and beyond, making it easy to bring a more premium feel into everyday life. I personally have all of their travel sets. They are so comfy. I think I've told you before, their cashmere throw blanket. best.

Pretty quickly, Taylor started convincing Wade to use that money to buy more things. So he bought a side by side, a truck, and even cows But he didn't just outright buy them. He took loans out on all of these things, with the promise of being paid back from Taylor's millions of dollars in these oil and gas royalties Now Wade's family were initially completely taken by Taylor. They thought that she was sweet and just a great woman for Wade to be with However, they quickly began seeing red flags about Taylor and the outlandish stories that she was starting to tell And one of the first and the biggest red flags about Taylor was that she didn't have custody of her two kids Why? And it only got worse from there also told the family about the royalties that she was set to inherit from her grandfather's oil business, but she said that she was having difficulty getting the money. Sounds a lot like Tinder Swindler, right? If you saw that. And if you didn't, you should Now another big red flag was that in many ways, Wade's family noticed that Taylor seemed to be more into Wade than he was into her Taylor wanted to move fast and she wanted to be close, but his family didn't see Wade in love with her, at least not the same way that she was in love with him, and it was a bit worrisome for them In the meantime, Taylor got Wade super excited about a property called Pcan Point Wade had more heart eyes about this property than ever. And this property lies right alongside the Red River in McCurton County, which is right over the Oklahoma border It was listed at four point seven million dollars and is a phenomenal hunting property Taylor reached out to the agent Rusty Low about buying the property, and she told him that she was the heir to the Black Burn syrup fortune and therefore definitely could afford the property But I'm a little confused because wasn't it gas and oil? now syrup pancake syrup In any event, Taylor placed an offer for three point five million dollars, and the deal was made that Taylor would pay two hundred thousand dollars upfront as an earnest deposit payment, which is a very standard practice when purchasing property. So at Christmas, Taylor and Wade told the family about this property and they made this big announcement. They got everybody a card with pecans stuck to it to drop this news Taylor explained that none of them would ever have to worry about finding a hunting lease again. And that was just so exciting for all of them because they are avid duck hunters. So Taylor was the hero, and all of those red flags that they perhaps saw earlier were now in the rear view mirror. And in my opinion, probably for selfish reasons, but that's just my opinion What appeared to be an absolute dream come true for Taylor, Wade, and even Wade's family soon began to unravel. And over time, things went awry with this land deal First off, when signing the contract for the property, Taylor signed her name as Taylor Parker Griffin. Griffin as in Wade Griffin But she and Wade weren't married So it was interesting that she hyphenated her name like that, especially on papers that were such a big deal and legal documents But that's just the very beginning of this mega facade that buying this property turned out to be. Initially, Taylor was supposed to have a seven million dollars wire transfer coming in for her Blackburn inheritance, that syrup cash money, whatever. She was supposed to use that money to verify the funds that she could qualify for this property purchase But that wire never came in. So she said that she would just use money from her oil and gas leases. But that money also never came in. Big shocker, right So even with this glaring problem, apparently by this point, she had her heart set on two other properties as well And the properties in total added up to almost twenty million dollars. But she still had not verified having the funds to afford it So she told the agent Rusty that she also had an uncle butch, Uncle butch Give her the money for the properties. And you know, don't worry about it. He's got the money. It's fine if the wires didn't come in. I'm good. We're set. So Rusty is obviously becoming a bit suspicious. and he had his team continue looking into this to try to get it all sorted out Typically when people are going after such high priced properties, they have their finances in order and are ready to close the deal As this was happening behind the scenes, Wade was frequently calling Rusty for status updates, leading Rusty to believe that Taylor was actually not keeping Wade in the loop at all, in the slightest. He had no idea that these wire transfers were not coming in. And by this point, Taylor had written two separate checks worth one hundred fifty thousand dollars each. But after writing them and handing them over, she quickly asked for them right back So obviously, things are starting to get pretty concerning at this point These properties were a lot of money, and Rusty was not and could not get this deal done without the finances to make it happen Taylor finally provided him with oil and gas lease paperwork er Rusty had a landman in Tyler, Texas go over all of it But it didn't take long for the landman to realize that they were falsified documents Not only that, but Rusty was given paperwork that allegedly was from Shell Western Global Paperwork was a claim to verify the existence of wire fund transfers totaling to nearly three hundred seventy millionars Email attached to the document was an AOL email for a lady named Shelley Lynx. Now for such a professional company, having an AOL email absolutely made no sense And when Rusty decided to email this Shelly Lynx person Taylor became extremely unpleasant He then tried to reach out to Taylor's, rich Uncle Butch, and that's when things began to get very heated She sent Rusty a text saying, After talking to my dad and attorney whom have bought land for more than this, it was stated to me that the seller can ask, but you don't have to ask to verify what we have in the bank. Wade and myself both weren't okay with that request. My uncle Butch is a multimillion dollar landowner and he says he has asked and been denied After that, Rusty got a follow up email from the Shelley Lyinks AOL email, stating, banking information is completely confidential. The buyers were not under the assumption a verification letter was required until you requested it in your office I am sending this verification form since I will be providing the funds Funds and where they come from is not of importance as long as the seller is paid from my understanding The clients are not okay with the seller calling their bank and are firm on their decision in that matter. But all of that came to a halt in April of twenty twenty when Taylor contacted Rusty and told him that the deal was dead whichich meant he had no chance of getting that one point one five million dollars in commission And Taylor told him that her mom had actually lied about everything There was no oil and gas lease, there was no syrup royalty, and there was no uncle butch. Taylor claimed that all of these people, including Shelley Lyinkx, were apparently made up by her mother Now'wind a couple of months to december twenty nineteen, during everything starting to fall apart with these properties. Taylor announced that she and Wade were expecting a child and that she was pregnant And the family and Wade were all very excited Things continued to be suspicious with Taylor. when Taylor bought Wade's mom Connie, her dream car. Connie loved this gray Nissan Ultima Platinum. She had looked for this car for a long time prior without any luck. Then Taylor bought her the car and was once again the hero But just a few weeks later, Taylor called Wade and told him to have Connie come drop the car off in the driveway She told him that the car had a recall on it and that the dealership would be picking it up This did not sit right with Wade's mom Connie, but she hesitantly drove it over, but not before telling her husband that they would never see the car again Her husband told her that she didn't know that for sure, which she replied, Yeahah, I do know it. I do know it. Dealerships don't just pick up vehicles on recall. It didn't make any sense So a couple weeks went by and she hadn't heard anything about the car. so she went ahead and called the dealership The dealership informed her that there was no recall on the car, but instead that the car had never been paid for And as this slide was unraveling, Taylor had also been promising Wade's dad, a new barn, to replace the one that he lost in a fire But obviously that was not going to happen because clearly, Taylor didn't have any of the money for any of these things. Everything was fallen apart So then in March of twenty twenty, Taylor publicly announced her pregnancy on social media, just as the world began shutting down due to the pandemic. She proudly shared that she was due on september twenty second, twenty twenty, and apparently she wasn't wasting any more time on those minor money issues anymore since she now had to start planning for this baby There was one major red flag for Angela Pate, who is related to Wade by marriage Angela and Taylor had apparently gotten close, and Taylor often vented to her about her relationship issues with Wade and how she was worried that Wade would leave her In addition to that Apparently Taylor had confided in Angela that she had a prior hysterectomy Taylor told Angela that before telling Way that she was pregnant, she should take another pregnancy test to really confirm this is true. Taylor assured her that she was pregnant and told her that this pregnancy was intended by God. Taylor was excited. She was showing all of her family and friends, her sonogram pictures, her test results, everything relating to the baby. If it was related to the baby, she was sharing it. even urine test results, like TMI overkill, but she was excited and she was proud. And in April of twenty twenty Taylor sent a pregnancy confirmation to Angela, saying, you know, here's the confirmation from my nurse. I am pregnant. I know you were worried, but there's nothing to worry about But there was just one problem that Angela noticed with the letter the name of the nurse who signed the letter had the same name as the patient of the letter that it was confirming to be pregnant. So basically the letter said that the nurse was pregnant not Taylor So when Angela told Taylor about that, she got very defensive and upset and told her that there was a mole that her mother had hired at the clinic and that they must have done that which Angela knew that she had to play this smart. She already had her doubts about Taylor, and this was just really sealing them for her Previously when Taylor told everybody about the alleged hit that her mom had on her, she started hanging out at Angela's house a lot But then she actually ended up telling Angela that her mother actually took her own life, but that she didn't want to tell her grandparents. And eventually, her mother was seen at a Christmas party, which massively confused everyone who had thought she was dead Taylor is just like a walking red flag, story after story after story. So right as this pregnancy stuff was all going down in April of twenty twenty, Angela received an email from a person named Mandy Body, who was allegedly actually Taylor's mother And the email said, Listen, you don't know nothing about Taylor. Don't try to be a mother figure to her. I did an amazing job making her look bad. It took time in accurately planning my every step of the way. She brought you to the bank and made herself look like she was lying to get a check cashed I had already arranged everything. My helper knew she was coming with you because she called making sure. You wasted your time on her because that check was never good Let her fail in life. Let her see what it's like to have nothing. I've worked it out perfectly. I've arranged this all so there are no cracks, you see. Things won't add up, and she will look even more like a liar. I stole numbers to make her think people were calling and doing things for her and it was never them. This will not end well for her No matter where she turns or what she says, there will always be a lie to fall back on her See, I'm going to send her in such a deep depression she will probably try to take her life like she has tried before But if not, then making Wade leave her will do the trick. See, he will have no choice but to leave because nothing will be true I've made his family turn on them from pretending to be people like a dealership that didn't get paid Like now do you people, just let her fall into a hole and not get out She will go crazy thinking she did the right thing for a certain reason, but in reality, I made her think that way She has a way of wanting to protect everyone Well, that's what got her into this mess. If you want to be her mom, good luck She is like the child we should have terminated in the beginning because she was the accident I didn't want Maybe you will get the big picture and enjoy the mess. She's looking for someone to love her, and when Wea leaves because I've made her out to be a liar, well, she'll come running to you. Just watch Nice website and Facebook. Maybe you can pop some sense into her because she has none Okay guys The email is long It's confusing and it's really questionable Who would even said that send that to a stranger or acquaintance at most? And who would ever go to those lengths to ruin somebody? It made no sense. It's almost as though whoever's writing it is trying to justify all of the lies that Taylor has had and, you know, take the blame off of her and put them onto herself saying they orchestrated it. It is so weird. At this point, Angela was also still doubting the pregnancy. And she took Taylor to Walgreens and got a bunch of tests And no real surprise, most of them came back negative But one was questionable and it left her pretty indecisive So Angela Taylor decided to go to a clinic for a urine test, as that would surely be more accurate. They decided to go to a different clinic this time called Health Express, because remember, according to Taylor, there was some hired mole at the last clinic to ruin her results So Angela obviously wasn't going into the clinic with Taylor because it was prime pandemic time and you couldn't go in with anybody. So Taylor went in alone And she says that Taylor came out with a weird look on her face and a paper similar to the first one that did show proof of pregnancy Taylor had only gone in with her wallet, and the paper wasn't folded at all So that convinced Angela these results were real and had been freshly printed and that she was indeed pregnant. Wade's mom Connie, however, was not convinced that she was pregnant, and it caused a lot of friction between her and her son The two of them argued many times over the next several months. and at one point, she even considered hiring a PI to follow Taylor around so she could show her son that she didn't think Taylor was being honest Connie and Wade had already had a massive blow upp fight about financial issues after Taylor's ex husband had contacted her, and that left them not on speaking terms for nearly four months. So that left Connie treaditing on very thin ice with her son. Despite her feelings and doubts, she did decide to attend Wade and Taylor's gender reveal party, because she had gone to her other sons' the week prior She's clearly a supportive mom and didn't want Wade to feel unloved And it was announced there that they would be having a baby girl. And they decided the baby's name was going to be Clancy Gale. But not long after the gender reveal party, Wade went to Connie telling her about all the stuff Taylor's mom allegedly was doing. He even told her he thought that her mom had set up cameras in the backyard because in an email who he thought was from, you know, her mom, She mentioned them sitting on the back porch and drinking coffee that morning, and the emails were coming from a shadow account with the name Mandy Body that same account that emailed Angela So Connie was convinced that Taylor was behind all of this. So she loudly said I don't know who wrote these, but whoever wrote this is pure evil. And she said all of that while looking in Taylor's direction That didn't phaze Taylor. She was pregnant, was in a loving relationship, and was determined to have her happy ending Throughout the summer, she continued to be very active on social media, sharing her excitement about her pregnancy and upcoming birth of their daughter, just posting away. She was ordering baby items and even created a baby registry for things for the upcoming baby. But once again, there was a detail that was not matching up The registry said that her duty was september twenty eighth instead of the twenty second, like she had previously announced Could it be a typo? Sure, but it would be a weird one for someone who seemed to be so organized On july second, she posted about medical appointments for the baby, and the way she made it sound was as if she was having some sort of pregnancy issues However, luckily, things seemed to be okay, and in August, she and Wade and her growing baby Belly took maternity photos together. Despite all of this, and despite the photos, despite everything, As this pregnancy continued, people were getting suspicious. And Wade was unable to get any sort of information from the clinic that she was going to because due to COVID, he couldn't attend the appointments that she had And when he called the clinic, he was unable to get any of the information due to patient privacy laws So essentially, he was at the mercy of Taylor for updates This baby wasn't planned, and apparently at this point, he had also made it clear that he wasn't in love with Taylor, and he made it clear that he also was not prepared for this baby.

Jolie is also available on Amazon too. Jolieskincoo. com slash AE Finally, September arrives, and this was the month that their baby girl was due to arrive. And surely things would get better between them once they were a happy family and they had their new bundle of joy So as family and friends got more nervous and doubts continued to grow kindind of expecting the news to break of a miscarriage And on september second, Wade even made a Facebook comment acknowledging that people did not believe that Taylor was pregnant. Around september fifteenth, Tommy, Taylor's ex, sent text messages to Wade over multiple days, telling him about Taylor's previous hysterectomy and told him that she was using sonograms from her previous pregnancy. He also told him that hospitals were on high alert Tommy sent Taylor the screenshots of his messages to Wade, which angered Taylor And according to her, Tommy was trying to ruin her life and was just lying. She was pregnant and she was about to give birth, and nobody was going to get in the way of that. Taylor was feeling stressed and she needed a friend to lean on. So she reached out to a friend, well, maybe more of like an acquaintance, named Reagan Hancock Taylor was an amateur photographer and had photographed Reagan and her husband Homer's wedding a year earlier Reagan and Homer loved her work and Reagan even recommended her business on Facebook Taylor and Reagan had stayed in contact via Facebook and Reagan was now pregnant with her second baby. Her first daughter, Kinley, was with her ex, but she and Homer were raising Kinley together and were over the moon about the new edition on the way They also had already decided on a baby name as well, Little baby Braxlan Taylor took a baby gift over to Reagan and the two of them continued to text back and forth for the next week or so On september twenty second, Taylor reached out to a man about selling a trailer full of hogs for a little over six thousand dollars But taillor didn't seem to know or understand licensing and transport rules for hogs, so the man assumed that it was a scam and said he wasn't interested On december twenty seventh, she reached back out, telling him that she got everything organized in regards to licensing and the transfer, but he still refused On september thirtieth, Taylor went to her scheduled OB appointment. but when she got there, she started hysterically crying. and when employees checked in on her, she told them that she wanted to reschedule as her husband was in the military and had just died and her mother had also canceled on her So of course, employees were more than willing to reschedule for her, but they did offer her a sonogram to cheer her up Taylor declined the sonnogram and rescheduled for the very next day It was odd to them because most moms would be absolutely delighted for the sonogram to see their baby. But what was even more odd to these nurses was seeing Taylor sitting on a bench outside the clinic afterwards, sitting for quite some time, all while watching pregnant women coming in and out of the clinic October fifth, nearly a week had passed and still no baby. And I mean, thank God because Wade's house caught fire This fire was an intentional fire, and it knocked out the power and the plumbing. It was later determined that the fire was actually started by a lighter and was technically an act of arson But at that time, everyone was unsure who would start this fire. So Wade and Taylor went over to Connie's house, Wade's mom's house to shower While Wade was showering, Taylor told Connie that she was set to be induced that day, but that it was canceled because a bomb threat had been called into Titus Regional Medical Center one hundred people actually had to be evacuated and all inductions and procedures had to be canceled that day. And this was real But Connie was just over Taylor. So she said, yeah, you called it in. She also showed Taylor a photo she found on Facebook of Taylor's mother with Taylor's kids in Colorado And she said, I see your mom has the kids and they're having a great time up in Colorado, just completely over tailor and her BS stories. And who even knew what the truth really was at this point? because Taylor was Moving forward with this pregnancy, having maternity shoots doing the registry. I mean, who knew what the truth was and what wasn't So next it was Taylor's turn to take a shower. And while she was showering, Connie and Wade got into a very big argument Because Taylor was due a little over two weeks earlier on september twenty second, Wade had taken time off work under FMLA, and Connie told him that she was worried that he could lose his job if it turned out that Taylor wasn't even pregnant and that a baby never came She told him that he should go back to work and that he would get a call if the baby came. She told him Wade, she is not pregnant. She had a hysterectomy when Trey was born. He's five years old. She's not pregnant. And away did not take that well And when Taylor got out of the shower, he stormed out of the house. Although he wasn't in love with Taylor anymore, this was his child and he was furious that his own family was doubting that, Doubting his child, doubting his judgment On october eighth, Taylor over to her friend Reagan's house in the morning. She sat outside of the housening in the driveway for a bit before driving away. She then returned back to Reagan's, but this time had a baby gift and Starbucks She and Reaggan hung out for a while and Taylor left around ten PM After she left, Reagan posted on Facebook about their night together, and it seemed like a nice little visit between friends and the two of them had a great time, bonding over the upcoming baby bliss, as Taylor's new induction date, since the bomb scare, was scheduled for the very next afternoon. So on the morning of october ninth, Taylor sent Wade off with that trailer full of hogs to sell them to the buyer that she had previously talked to The plan was to head to the hospital for the induction once the sale of the hogs was complete But remember, that buyer had backed out and didn't want the hogs. So did he have a change of heart Because Wade had text messages of somebody agreeing to buy them for six thousand one hundred dollars So he showed up at seven thirty five AM to the Buyer's ranch in Oklahoma after driving for almost four hours. At six forty six AM, Taylor got ten dollars worth of gas at the local Easy Mart and stopped at McDonald's. Then, just after nine thirty AM, Taylor was pulled over into Cobb, Texas after an officer saw her driving fast and erratically While the trooper was behind her, Taylor called nine hundred and eleven Ny Boston, nine hundred ele one, What emergency B me and I do it Night on the line. I'm going to get you to la n that they s one ped you over, ma'am be open The dispatcher asked where she was and Taylor said she was trying to get to Idabell, crying, That's where my doctor is. I've started having my baby. I have to get there. And Idabell is in Oklahoma about thirty five minutes from De Cob, Texas where Taylor was stopped. When the officer trooper went to her window, he saw a newborn baby in distress and an umbilical cord protruding from Taylor's pants This home man. I got What are you going to say, Michael do somewere?' Wh doctor get there. Taylor started doing CPR, but the baby wasn't showing any signs of life. For whatever reason, the trooper also was absolutely no help, despite being fully trained in first aid. But luckily, an off duty nurse happened to walk by the scene, and they jumped right in She's not breathing Wh are you nersing? Hey, this woman is a nering. , I know. My pys help me Taylor had blood on her legs, her hands, her face, shoes, clothes and feet. Most of the blood was dried, and there was no blood on her driver's seat, which the officer initially thought was strange Taylor was absolutely hysterical. The main priority at this point was to get them both to a hospital and get them checked out. So he was talking to dispatch as Taylor was screaming in the back, We gotta get to Idabelle. That's where my doctor is. I'm not going to Staint Michael's Ya ers Yeah, the baby's not breathing. trying to do a CPR on the baby right now. The officer asked her how old the baby was, and Taylor said it was only like maybe thirty five minutes old. CPR was being performed and Taylor could be heard at saying, Come on, Clancy, come on. She was begging for the officer to just put them in his car She told the trooper that she's being seen by a holistic midwife in Oklahoma, and then the nurse gave her a wet paper towel to wipe her face in her hands. She told them that she was at Walmart in New Boston when she felt pressure and then left and got in the car. She says that she felt that she had that urge to push and then the baby came out while she was driving So you was only way to outabil to have the baby. Okay Okayorry. So as this horror fest was taking place and unfolding, Wade had been at the ranch owner's home for a couple hours and was trying to strike this deal after showing up with one hundred fifty hogs, and the ranch owner was beyond frustrated since he wasn't expecting him So Wade showed them the text messages, and one text said, Wade, this is Scott. I will see you both in the morning around six thirty to seven. Taylor said the check should be made out to Wade Griffin, totaling to six thousand one hundred dollars. I have seven groups of hunters this weekend. I need those hogs tomorrow for sure. I already turned two guys away with hogs, drive safe. I'll send the address for GPS. Thanks, man So Scott saw this message and told Wade, thoseose weren't from his number, and it quickly started to click when he saw Wade's last name was Griffin as he had also talked to a Taylor Griffin a couple weeks prior So Scott told Wade, this is not for me. This is a bogus deal. I didn't want them. I didn't order them. I'm not doing this deal. He told his ranch manager to show Wade out and went back to his lodge. but then the ranch hand came back and asked if he would reconsider for a good deal Scott said he wasn't interested and wouldn't touch them without proper licensing But Wade was really just trying to get rid of these one hundred and fifty hogs, and the sun was starting to shine and it was heating up. So Scott and Wade ended up agreeing to thousand five hundred dollars. Wade left with an empty trailer around nine thirty, ten AM, having absolutely no idea what was happening at home. And no one imagined what would come next couple hours earlier at seven twenty two AM while Taylor had just left with the McDonald's or, you know, at After Taylor had gotten gas and gotten McDonald's Taylor's friend Reagan got a text from a Google app number. She got another text at seven forty nine, and she responded at seven fifty two At thirty AM Reagan's husband Homer received a series of very weird text messages from Reagan's phone The texts were saying things like, she just wants to be happy and it's just not working. So they continued texting, but Homer was concerned because it didn't sound like Reagan usually sounds He texted her at eight hundred and thirty three saying, I love you, but Reagan never responded At nine thirty four AM, a neighbor sent Homer a Facebook message that he and Reagan's puppy had escaped the house So he tried calling Reagan at nine and thirty six, just a couple of minutes later to see what was going on The neighbor said that the garage door was up, which was weird because it never was up And Reagan didn't answer the phone He tried calling again at nine hundred and fifty eight two, ten zero four, ten zero six, and ten twenty, but she was not answering. So he started calling the people closest to them before ultimately leaving work to go check on Reagan and the dog. The neighbor put the little black lab over the fence into Reagan's backyard before heading out to run errands for the morning. at ten fifteen AM Jessica Brooks, Reagan's mom arrived at Reagan's house to check on her When she walked in, she saw her thirty four week pregnant daughter laying face down in a pool of blood Dam Mam am fun forty one, six one Ma'am, can you tell me what happened All un need are headed to two hundred offcess straight for a conool Dan know what happened to her, ma'am Okay, okay, what is your name Okay, what's your daughter's name?

I'm going to put your meute clark in contact last night, okay I In the nine hundred and eleven call, Jessica was crying out to her husband, Marcus, yelling, didid they hurt her? I can't do this, My baby, my baby, my baby. She then asked if Kinley was alright before saying, I can't tell what happened. Did they just hurt her? What did they do? There's so much blood, there's so much blood. Marcus found Kinley in the other room, and three minutes into the nine hundred and eleven call, Kenley asks, where's Mommy Got an ambulance in route to and police are en route also, okay people on scene are the mother and possibly a sister Liven' in aroundout also can call okay Can you see what can you tell what happened you her? I just I done No, we can't f there's so much flood Okay they're here? Yes, ma'am. Okay, they should be pulling up now, okay? Police quickly arrive and turned Reagan over, unveiling a gruesome discovery that her baby was missing. Th long weekends where you have a perfect plan.

Reagan had multiple stab wounds and deep incisions all over her body. She had been cut open from hip to hip, her uterus pulled out and cut Her hands had many defensive wounds, including bruises, scrapes, scab wounds, and cuts on her fingers and palms. One finger was dislocated and the tip of another was nearly cut off. There was a bloody handprint on the refrigerator right below ultrasound photos A child's bathing suit who I assume is Kinley's was soaked in blood on the living room floor There was a urine soaked diaper on top of a pool of blood in the living room next to the couch There was a large bloodstain on the edge of the couch with clumps of what appeared to be Reagan's blonde hair in it, as if her head was leaning against it at some point during this savage attack. A blanket on the living room floor was soaked with blood and what is believed to have been amniotic fluid. Reagan had a circle indentation mark on her forehead that matched the bottom of a four pound mason jar with a monogrammed H a jar from their wedding that was filled with pink and blue sand There were bloody swipes by the front door with more patterns suggesting bloody hair was smeared against it It indicated that Reagan was pushed against the wall, sliding toward the front door and down to the floor The wall near where Reagan was found was absolutely splattered with blood in all directions. Some of it was even dripping down the walls just truly horrific. barbaric and uncomprehendible There were also watery bloodstains on the kitchen and hallway bathroom sink, as if somebody had tried to wash something bloody And while going through all of this discovery, they noticed a white crock shoe that was left inside the house By this point, Homer had arrived home to the crime scene tape and to Kinley in the driveway He wasn't allowed in the house and he called his neighbor at ten thirty five AM. This is the same neighbor who found the dog He told her that his wife was dead, and it was a very quick thirty second call because clearly he was in absolute shock and distress While Reagan's family was in absolute shock about her death in mourning the loss of their daughter, wife, grandchild, baby, you name it, A hospital across town was trying to figure out what the hell happened to Taylor who just gave birth in her car. Taylor was adamant that she did not want an exam, but doctors finally convinced her that she needed to do one for her own safety. I mean, after all, giving birth is incredibly strenuous. It takes an tremendous toll on a woman's body. So of course, they wanted to make sure that she was okay. But once Taylor finally got the exam results, they were able to blow this case wide open Right look like she had a baby It doesn't.. Okay Does not look like she had a baby there down there Ready G. That was enough to make the detectives look at the entire situation differently. If the baby girl in Taylor's car didn't come from her, they were starting to think that she was actually connected to the horrific crime scene that was over at Reagan's house. And now, they were ready to confront her about it. I'm just gonna to be up front with you. I've been talking to the DA down in Boody County and they've been working on a case down here And we know that you had a hysterectomy somet timee back and that you claimed to be pregnant for a while, but you really weren't So I'm trying to figure out where this baby came from But she didn't give birth this morning. What do you What do you mean So I just said, you didn't give birth this morning And we want to know where the baby came from. Let's w'm here Absolute hat I just told y'all what happened But the information I've got, you've had thiscrectumy will pass. and yeah, thiscrectum me can't be preged now And he came into the hospital with the newborn. we want to know where this newborn came from. Okay How ever sure. So you's still saying it came from you? Dearars In, because we do DNA on it. we build a tail pretty quick. Essentially what we have is we have a did one down in Texas. and You took the baby out of. Chles could have died. And my question is Is you Taylor a cold blooded murderer? Well is it something else? I mean, sometimes people, you know, they go through depression and you know, some mental issues sometes causes things to causes good people to make bad choices. And that's kind of where I'm here at today. I knew that doctor would't find anything. I already knew. I already know a lot a lot of things I asked, I already know the answer to before I asked.. But one thing I'm trying to figure out is Why did this happen to? What was going on? You know Is it something like you know, might you going through some depression? M you going through some, you know, some emotional things You know, and just for whatever reason, you know, we made some bad choices, right? Or is it because You set some woman up and targeted her to kill her and steal a p. Okay. I tell you, most of the people are gonna assume the worst. They're gonna asse you're an evil person and that You just butchered this lady and left her to ride on the side of the road. So she's still her baby. I don't think that was the case. I mean, you don't seem like that type of person, but I didn't kill anybody. Where'd this baby come from We're past all of that. Taylor, we're past that. I did not kill anybody. I didn't kill anybody. So was she alive and he left?. I wasn't with any I was with her. But by that point, it really didn't matter how much Taylor wanted to deny. All of the evidence was starting to come together She couldn't have possibly delivered the baby and Reagan's baby also be missing. So that left the horrifying reality that Taylor had literally kidnapped Reagan's baby from her womb, taken her as her own, trying to pass her off as her own. And in the process, she had killed Reagan. And even worse, sometime after Reagan's baby was born, alive, by the way, she unfortunately stopped Breathing. At one twenty two PM, the baby that Taylor had claimed was hers was taken off life support and pronounced dead said that this little baby would have been viable but she had suffered a lack of oxygen. That meant that Taylor not only murdered Reagan, but she also murdered her baby too, littleittle baby Braxln. Police connected everything at this point, and they went to the hospital and arrested Taylor. She was charged with capital murder for the murder of Reagan And she was also eventually charged with capital murder and kidnapping for Braxlon. Reagan's mom Jess posted a photo and announced her daughter and granddaughter's death on social media the very next day Her family also did a media interview a few days later. Never quit smiling, never quit trying and moving on and tackling the next hurdle. The most beautiful person her spirit, her personersality, everythingthing about her was beautiful I do it The piece of us is gone now. She became a mother early. But after she had Kenley, she went on to get her high school diploma and she was aspiring to eventually get she was gonna to start taking classes again in the spring and she wanted to go into nursing eventually. It's just such a tragedy to think about Reagan's life and how quickly it was taken away from her. and a little Braxland Her life was taken when she was just minutes old. She was about to be a new baby sister, born into a loving family, and that was ripped away from her. And as for Reagan's other daughter, Kenley, well, her biological father passed away shortly after Reagan. Thankfully, her stepdad and Reagan's widower, Homer, stepped up and he raised her, but Can you imagine that child and what she's had to go through? Homer is also in a new relationship, and Reagan's family is very happy for him. Her mom said that he's still in his twenties and he deserves happiness Homer never went back to that house besides once to collect his things, and he is obviously still grieving this terrible loss. Now guys, there is still so much more to cover. We have barely scratched the surface here. We need to get into the rest of Taylor's absolutely unhinged hospital interview, footage that not many people have access to the entire uncut interrogation and even the hospital interview. because we haven't even gotten into the most unbelievable part yet
