"Their relationship appears perfect and within months she's pregnant and proudly showing off her baby bump all over social media. But when a state trooper pulls her over and discovers she has just given birth in her car, her story quickly falls apart, exposing the truth behind a terrifying and unthinkable crime.""Maternal Instinct" follows Taylor Parker who falls for Wade Griffin, moves in with him in New Boston, Texas, and quickly announces that she's pregnant with a baby girl just months after they met in 2020. But ... Parker actually wasn't pregnant — I'll save some of the gasp-worthy details — and she went to great lengths to conceal the truth. Then, toward the end of Parker's pregnancy, she commits an extremely gruesome crime. Parker killed her 21-year-old pregnant friend Reagan Simmons-Hancock; she cut out the child from the womb and tried to pass the baby off as her own. She called 911 when the baby stopped breathing, and state troopers escorted her to the hospital. There, it was determined that she had never been pregnant.Simmons-Hancock's mother discovered her daughter's body. She had been stabbed 15 times and had 98 other wounds. Simmons-Hancock's 3-year-old daughter was hiding under a bed in the house.Parker was convicted of capital murder in October 2022. She is one of seven women on death row in Texas.Read some reactions to the documentary below. Something doesn’t add up in the @netflix documentary “Maternal Instincts” because when Wade’s mother and his friend/wife kept telling him Taylor wasn’t/couldn’t get pregnant, why didn’t he just ask to see her tummy or find a way to get to see it when she sleeps?Very confusing— Austine (@obiMpenaAustine) June 14, 2026
