1
00:00:41,470 --> 00:00:43,810
New Boston, 911. What's your emergency?

2
00:00:43,890 --> 00:00:47,020
I need an ambulance
'cause I started having my baby.

3
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:49,270
Stay on the line.
I'm gonna get you to LifeNet.

4
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,650
-I have a trooper behind me.
-Stay on the line.

5
00:00:51,730 --> 00:00:53,400
It's gonna be okay. Stay on the line.

6
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,450
Emergency.

7
00:00:58,530 --> 00:01:02,290
I just need an ambulance to get to Idabel.

8
00:01:02,370 --> 00:01:05,580
She's gone into labor.
She has a state trooper behind her.

9
00:01:06,460 --> 00:01:07,460
Okay.

10
00:01:07,540 --> 00:01:09,750
-Hurry! Please!
-Is the trooper with her?

11
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,130
Yeah, he was, uh,
pulling her over as she called.

12
00:01:14,510 --> 00:01:16,050
Ma'am, are you still here with me?

13
00:01:16,130 --> 00:01:18,340
-What's wrong, ma'am?
-I had my baby.

14
00:01:18,430 --> 00:01:21,180
And I'm trying to get to I-Idabel Hospital
where my husband--

15
00:01:21,260 --> 00:01:24,390
-Idabel?
-Yeah, my husband's up there.

16
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,900
Need LifeNet out, uh, to my location.

17
00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:30,020
Lady in this vehicle
who appeared to just have a baby.

18
00:01:30,110 --> 00:01:33,360
She was carrying the baby in her lap.
Umbilical cord is still attached.

19
00:01:34,030 --> 00:01:35,900
She's not breathing.

20
00:01:37,110 --> 00:01:40,070
The baby's not breathing.
She's doing CPR on the baby right now.

21
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,240
Can you just put me in your car
and drive us so we're not sitting?

22
00:01:43,330 --> 00:01:44,620
Please, I'm begging you.

23
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:47,250
There's nothing I can do.
You're gonna need EMS.

24
00:01:47,330 --> 00:01:50,960
I'm fine, if you'll just get us there
as quick as possible.

25
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,420
Thank you. Uh, LifeNet's already on scene.

26
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,220
-You just gave birth?
-Turn around and sit down.

27
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:57,510
Okay.

28
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:59,180
How old you say you was?

29
00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:00,800
-27.
-27?

30
00:02:00,890 --> 00:02:03,560
-I think I was born in '92.
-Okay.

31
00:02:04,890 --> 00:02:07,980
So you was-- You was on your way
to Idabel to-- to have the baby?

32
00:02:08,060 --> 00:02:09,600
-Yeah.
-Okay.

33
00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:11,440
Okay.

34
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,320
Just relax, darling.

35
00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:22,280
Do not let her out that door.

36
00:02:25,410 --> 00:02:28,620
-I'm gonna need--
-Getting real, real jumpy in there.

37
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:31,170
So she shows no signs…

38
00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:33,960
You won't-- You can't check
for hemorrhaging?

39
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,010
She should be hemorrhaging by now.

40
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:38,720
She's in there.

41
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,720
She refuses to have a vaginal check
to make sure she's not hemorrhaging.

42
00:02:43,810 --> 00:02:46,350
They've done ultrasound and HCG,

43
00:02:46,430 --> 00:02:48,310
and it doesn't show
that she's been pregnant.

44
00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:49,690
They have the placenta.

45
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:51,900
-Where is she?
-She is in the room.

46
00:02:51,980 --> 00:02:53,520
-You're not letting her leave?
-No.

47
00:02:54,230 --> 00:02:56,190
-Can I help you?
-This is…

48
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,940
-This is a big deal.
-Yeah.

49
00:02:58,030 --> 00:02:59,650
Okay, yes. Are you ready?

50
00:03:01,950 --> 00:03:03,070
Hey, there.

51
00:03:04,030 --> 00:03:05,080
What's your name?

52
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,330
Taylor Parker.

53
00:03:06,410 --> 00:03:09,040
Taylor. Hey.
My name is Chad Dansby. I'm a…

54
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:13,330
I'm an OSBI agent up here,
and I heard you brought your baby in.

55
00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:14,500
Yes, sir.

56
00:03:17,510 --> 00:03:19,800
Did you give birth
on the side of the road or something?

57
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,880
-Yes, sir.
-Oh, okay.

58
00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:25,140
Where was that? Here? In McCurtain County?

59
00:03:25,220 --> 00:03:27,640
No, it was in De Kalb.

60
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,270
De Kalb. Down in Texas?

61
00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:30,640
-Yes, sir.
-Oh, okay.

62
00:03:30,730 --> 00:03:34,360
Did I do something wrong
for them bringing me over here?

63
00:03:34,860 --> 00:03:37,320
So you-- you gave birth to this child?

64
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:39,860
Yes. I--

65
00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:42,950
We're-- We're just making sure, okay?

66
00:03:43,870 --> 00:03:47,370
If there's anything you need
to talk to us about, you can.

67
00:03:48,410 --> 00:03:51,330
I don't know what everybody
wants me to talk about.

68
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:54,170
I'm just trying to figure out
where this baby came from.

69
00:03:55,790 --> 00:03:58,590
I just told y'all what happened.

70
00:03:58,670 --> 00:03:59,590
Okay.

71
00:04:00,260 --> 00:04:03,300
What's the doctor gonna find
when he comes in and checks you?

72
00:04:03,380 --> 00:04:05,300
Is he gonna find you just gave birth?

73
00:04:06,850 --> 00:04:08,010
-I--
-They can tell.

74
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:09,930
When he looks, he can tell
in about a second

75
00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:11,600
if you gave birth or not.

76
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,440
O-- Okay.

77
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,310
Yeah.

78
00:04:16,980 --> 00:04:19,480
So is he gonna find
that you gave birth this morning?

79
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,530
-Yes.
-Okay.

80
00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:25,660
-Let's see.
-So we'll jump out.

81
00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:27,030
Sit you up.

82
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,240
All right, well, let me have
them sit you up there

83
00:04:29,330 --> 00:04:31,160
where I can see what I'm doing.

84
00:04:32,830 --> 00:04:34,830
I didn't-- It doesn't look
like she had a baby.

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:35,960
-It doesn't?
-No.

86
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,000
Okay.

87
00:04:37,090 --> 00:04:39,880
Does not look
like she had a baby down there.

88
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Get ready.

89
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,510
Where'd this baby come from?

90
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:45,180
It's mine!

91
00:04:45,260 --> 00:04:46,340
Can't be.

92
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:48,100
Can't be.

93
00:05:51,780 --> 00:05:54,830
Coming from a small town,
you can trust easy.

94
00:05:54,910 --> 00:05:56,710
And, um…

95
00:05:57,710 --> 00:06:02,040
And I guess that's
kind of the direction it went.

96
00:06:03,550 --> 00:06:05,340
From my perspective,

97
00:06:05,420 --> 00:06:08,180
there's way more good people
than there are bad.

98
00:06:09,050 --> 00:06:11,100
But there's evil in our land.

99
00:06:11,970 --> 00:06:14,390
Evil people do evil things.

100
00:06:16,770 --> 00:06:19,150
Come on, come on, come on.

101
00:06:19,230 --> 00:06:23,690
There is an inner spirit
that tries to protect us.

102
00:06:25,070 --> 00:06:27,530
A really, really subtle voice.

103
00:06:27,610 --> 00:06:30,620
And we don't have enough sense
to listen to it sometimes.

104
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:31,990
Most of the time, actually.

105
00:06:34,450 --> 00:06:38,040
It's still very raw to all of us.

106
00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:41,710
We still are just kind of like,
"I can't believe this happened."

107
00:06:41,790 --> 00:06:45,130
Like, "Why didn't we listen
to the people that told us?"

108
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,420
"I still can't believe it."

109
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,430
Who is Taylor?

110
00:06:57,060 --> 00:06:59,390
Taylor is…

111
00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:04,320
hard to describe.

112
00:07:05,690 --> 00:07:08,360
I think that it's hard to describe Taylor

113
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:14,780
because there's so many aspects to her
and all her personalities.

114
00:07:15,790 --> 00:07:20,580
The Taylor that I knew was,
at one time, a good friend.

115
00:07:20,670 --> 00:07:24,090
She made you feel
like the best person on the planet.

116
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,710
She came off as a normal country girl.

117
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,300
She came off as a--
She was fresh from the country.

118
00:07:29,380 --> 00:07:30,590
I mean, like a country hick.

119
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,640
And with her looks, a lot of people
would kind of flirt with her about it.

120
00:07:35,140 --> 00:07:38,390
She loved attention. Loves attention.

121
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,810
Her whole mission in life

122
00:07:41,890 --> 00:07:44,690
was to be the pretty girl
that caught the eye of a guy.

123
00:07:44,770 --> 00:07:47,610
And then she met Wade.

124
00:07:56,660 --> 00:07:59,250
Is it hot in here to y'all,
or is it just me?

125
00:07:59,330 --> 00:08:01,710
It's-- It's mostly you, probably.

126
00:08:03,830 --> 00:08:06,790
…two, three, let's cut 'em loose!

127
00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:12,220
It all kind of started
in the summer of 2019.

128
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:15,470
Make some noise, encourage 'em. Come on!

129
00:08:15,550 --> 00:08:17,510
I remember that time that I met Taylor.

130
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,230
She'd seen me at the rodeo
and then wanted to know if I was single

131
00:08:22,310 --> 00:08:23,980
and wanted to hang out sometime.

132
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,110
She was a pretty girl, you know,

133
00:08:26,190 --> 00:08:29,280
just kind of lit up the room
when she walked in,

134
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,030
smiling from ear to ear.

135
00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:34,700
I was like, well, it wouldn't hurt nothing
to go out to eat or something with her

136
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:36,660
and, you know, see
what kind of person she is.

137
00:08:36,740 --> 00:08:39,200
And it just kind of went from there.

138
00:08:39,740 --> 00:08:44,000
She comes to work,
and she is just, I mean, just smitten

139
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,960
and tickled pink, and was talking
about how much she likes this guy.

140
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,670
He was just a good old country boy
that was laid back.

141
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,170
He was a hard worker.

142
00:08:52,260 --> 00:08:55,180
He seemed just, you know, a good catch
that had never been married,

143
00:08:55,260 --> 00:08:56,930
no past baggage.

144
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,220
She just kind of came
out of nowhere, you know?

145
00:09:00,310 --> 00:09:02,850
But she was pretty crazy about him,

146
00:09:02,930 --> 00:09:05,440
and it was important to her
to make him happy.

147
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,400
And I could see why Wade
would be attracted to her.

148
00:09:11,230 --> 00:09:12,780
Damn it, Wade!

149
00:09:12,860 --> 00:09:16,450
I'm making a video of you being abusive!

150
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,700
You know, most girls,
they don't really like the country life,

151
00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:23,120
but she was different
about that kind of stuff.

152
00:09:24,580 --> 00:09:29,170
She'd been around the horses, cows,
all the farm stuff, driving tractor.

153
00:09:30,130 --> 00:09:32,380
I was a country guy.
She was a country girl.

154
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,470
That's what she was attracted to.

155
00:09:37,220 --> 00:09:39,100
Oh, man! Oh, he let it go!

156
00:09:39,180 --> 00:09:40,890
Get it, Frank!

157
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:43,680
Seemed like they were
doing things together.

158
00:09:43,770 --> 00:09:46,560
She'd go hog hunting with him.
She'd help him catch hogs.

159
00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:51,110
She was right there, shoulder to shoulder.

160
00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:54,940
He seemed like he was happy,
and people liked her.

161
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,070
Man, I thought she was fantastic.

162
00:09:57,150 --> 00:10:00,490
She was somebody that you'd want
to hang around with,

163
00:10:00,570 --> 00:10:02,240
you know, you could kick it off with.

164
00:10:02,330 --> 00:10:03,700
Quick like, you know?

165
00:10:03,790 --> 00:10:06,500
She actually came
right up to me and gave me a hug.

166
00:10:06,580 --> 00:10:10,250
She was so glad to meet me.
She loved our family.

167
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,630
My wife loved her, you know?

168
00:10:12,710 --> 00:10:15,210
"Wade, you done found--"
You know? "A good one right here."

169
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:17,010
"This one, you need to marry her."

170
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,440
Wade was working with my husband,
and they were right around the corner.

171
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,270
A lot of times, weekly,
we would have-- have 'em come over,

172
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,980
and we'd grill steaks out.

173
00:10:33,570 --> 00:10:37,990
When I first met Taylor,
she was working for a hiring agency.

174
00:10:38,610 --> 00:10:42,070
But she told me her family
had lots of money.

175
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,540
I was told she had
a-- a grandma and grandpa

176
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,460
that lived down at-- around Bassett.

177
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:54,000
They're the one that holds all the money

178
00:10:54,090 --> 00:10:56,340
of all the oil wells
in the Sulphur River Bottoms.

179
00:10:57,340 --> 00:10:59,090
I mean, it was a lot of money.

180
00:10:59,970 --> 00:11:03,890
I was like, "Gosh, Wade, if she's got all
this kind of money and stuff, you know?"

181
00:11:03,970 --> 00:11:07,600
"And, man, she's got a good personality,
you know, she likes to hang out."

182
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:09,810
"That's what you've always
been looking for." You know?

183
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:13,310
I knew they had some money,
but I didn't know how much.

184
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:18,280
She just said she has plenty set aside
that the grandma done worked out with her.

185
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,700
Then she told me that her mother
was fighting with her about money,

186
00:11:21,780 --> 00:11:24,620
that money she wasn't actually getting,

187
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:28,540
but someday she was gonna be
this millionaire.

188
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:30,210
I mean, that's what she told us.

189
00:11:30,290 --> 00:11:34,960
Her mother was going to get her
cut completely out of all the money.

190
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,500
She wasn't gonna get nothing.

191
00:11:36,590 --> 00:11:39,170
She hated her mother,
and her mother hated her.

192
00:11:39,260 --> 00:11:43,510
Taylor just portrayed her mom just to be
a-- pretty much, a greedy monster. Um…

193
00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:47,850
I was just kind of there
being as supportive as I could,

194
00:11:47,930 --> 00:11:51,730
but it was just-- it was never-ending
of the family drama.

195
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,320
From my perspective,
they didn't actually fit.

196
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,030
He was born to a family of workers,

197
00:11:59,110 --> 00:12:01,070
and he wasn't making
any money to speak of,

198
00:12:01,150 --> 00:12:06,410
and she was born in a family
of people that had lots of money.

199
00:12:06,490 --> 00:12:08,990
From my experiences of life,

200
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,210
I've never really seen a relationship
like that work for very long.

201
00:12:36,020 --> 00:12:38,230
All of a sudden,
she sold all of her furniture

202
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,780
and pretty much emptied the house out
that she was renting,

203
00:12:41,860 --> 00:12:43,450
and she moved in with him.

204
00:12:43,530 --> 00:12:46,950
And I think that that was
kind of the point where I realized

205
00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:50,580
it was… becoming more serious.

206
00:12:54,460 --> 00:12:59,590
It was kind of strange that she
didn't seem to have a lot to store.

207
00:12:59,670 --> 00:13:02,800
Just kind of traveled light, you know?

208
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:07,640
She told me that because her mom
don't want her having no inheritance

209
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,720
and no property and no money,

210
00:13:09,810 --> 00:13:14,060
and she don't know what extreme
her mom's gonna go to.

211
00:13:14,140 --> 00:13:16,480
She said, "I think it's a good idea
if I move in with you

212
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:17,900
for more protection."

213
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:19,940
And so she did.

214
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,780
She had two kids.

215
00:13:23,860 --> 00:13:25,820
Her daughter would be with us
during the week,

216
00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:29,580
but we never seen the boy that often.

217
00:13:30,870 --> 00:13:34,750
I noticed instead of really spending
one-on-one time with her,

218
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:38,500
it was more "What was Wade doing?"
You know?

219
00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:41,380
We're trying
to figure out how to do your trailer.

220
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,550
This is broke, Wade.
You're missing a bolt.

221
00:13:44,630 --> 00:13:47,220
I can fix that so don't-- don't be mad.

222
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:49,010
She did seem to have a big heart.

223
00:13:49,090 --> 00:13:51,350
Would do anything in the world for Wade.

224
00:13:51,430 --> 00:13:52,470
Anything he asked.

225
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:54,980
She would mow the yard,
she would have supper ready.

226
00:13:55,060 --> 00:13:56,270
I think he loved that.

227
00:13:56,940 --> 00:13:59,190
She'd make sure she had a good meal cooked

228
00:13:59,270 --> 00:14:01,270
when I got home from work.

229
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,110
She would take care of the animals.

230
00:14:03,190 --> 00:14:08,030
Anything I asked her to do, she would do.
So she did pull her weight.

231
00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:18,670
After she started living with Wade,
she was over at my house, uh, constantly.

232
00:14:18,750 --> 00:14:20,210
So by this time, you know,

233
00:14:20,290 --> 00:14:24,510
I've heard story upon story upon story
of-- you know, about her mother.

234
00:14:24,590 --> 00:14:28,800
Then one day she told me
her mother had lost favor

235
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,010
with the rest of her family
because of her threats to Taylor.

236
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:36,680
So she suddenly was gonna get
more money from her grandmother.

237
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,190
She was going
to inherit eight million or so.

238
00:14:41,190 --> 00:14:45,280
Eight million dollars was just something
that you don't hear every day.

239
00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:47,820
I didn't really know what to think,

240
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:52,280
but she said that'll make things
a lot-- a lot better off now.

241
00:14:52,370 --> 00:14:55,790
He was thinking her grandparents
were gonna give all that to her

242
00:14:55,870 --> 00:14:57,040
in the will and stuff,

243
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,330
and then Wade was like, "Gosh, damn,
if they do that, then damn, I'm set."

244
00:15:07,210 --> 00:15:10,720
When all of a sudden this seemed
like they were gonna get all this money,

245
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,260
I mean, they were buying everything.
They were buying cars

246
00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:16,100
and side-by-sides and cattle.

247
00:15:16,970 --> 00:15:18,770
They done bought a $20,000 side-by-side,

248
00:15:18,850 --> 00:15:21,980
done bought him
a $60,000, $80,000 tractor,

249
00:15:22,060 --> 00:15:24,650
and now done went
and bought a $87,000 truck.

250
00:15:24,730 --> 00:15:27,190
I mean, money's got to be coming
from somewhere, you know.

251
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,240
It was like a Cadillac, you know.

252
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,110
So I'm sitting here,
thinking, "That's a $100,000 truck."

253
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,370
"There's no way
you can afford that pickup."

254
00:15:34,450 --> 00:15:35,990
He said, "Well, I'll tell you,

255
00:15:36,620 --> 00:15:39,040
there's some things
you don't know about me."

256
00:15:40,210 --> 00:15:42,420
I'd been shopping for a car
for quite a while,

257
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:45,210
and she pulled up in my driveway,

258
00:15:45,290 --> 00:15:48,090
and she said,
"How do you like my new car?"

259
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,130
And I said, "Man, that's nice," you know?

260
00:15:51,220 --> 00:15:54,850
And she said, "Well, it's yours.
I bought you a car."

261
00:15:54,930 --> 00:15:57,260
Posted it on Facebook.

262
00:15:57,350 --> 00:16:01,810
You can tell from the picture
that I was kind of reeling from it all.

263
00:16:03,310 --> 00:16:07,980
You know, with Wade, I really saw
a side of him that I hadn't seen before.

264
00:16:08,070 --> 00:16:10,820
Like, he deserved more.

265
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:14,160
But the big thing was this big ranch
that Wade had wanted,

266
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,160
and she was gonna make sure he got that.

267
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,330
She was telling me she would like
to buy a nice piece of property somewhere.

268
00:16:22,410 --> 00:16:24,580
It didn't really matter the price.

269
00:16:24,670 --> 00:16:29,960
So I told her, I said, "Well, there's
this property in Harris, Oklahoma."

270
00:16:30,050 --> 00:16:32,170
"It's right there on Red River."

271
00:16:46,900 --> 00:16:52,570
Fall of '19, I received a phone call
from a woman named Taylor.

272
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,950
She was a very well
put-together young lady,

273
00:16:57,030 --> 00:16:59,080
spoke in a very professional manner,

274
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,250
who expressed an interest in a property
that's, uh, known as Pecan Point.

275
00:17:07,330 --> 00:17:10,000
Her and Wade obviously had spoken
about it at length,

276
00:17:10,090 --> 00:17:12,460
and they were looking for
what they referred to

277
00:17:12,550 --> 00:17:15,300
as "a local sportsman's paradise."

278
00:17:15,970 --> 00:17:20,720
Wade was very interested
in the local feral hog population.

279
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,890
She had on jeans, she was well-dressed.

280
00:17:23,980 --> 00:17:26,310
Her hair was nicely done.

281
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,400
But you know, especially in the farm
and ranch industry,

282
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,400
uh, those are very grounded people

283
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,950
who might not look as though they could
purchase a multimillion-dollar property,

284
00:17:38,030 --> 00:17:44,000
but, in fact, they could purchase
multiple million-dollar properties.

285
00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:48,960
My initial impression was
that she probably had some family money.

286
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,840
She certainly indicated that,
and was ready to make an offer.

287
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,430
Four million dollars, I believe.

288
00:17:56,510 --> 00:17:59,760
She was adamant that we're--
she was gonna pay cash.

289
00:18:00,930 --> 00:18:02,220
We were rooting for her.

290
00:18:04,390 --> 00:18:07,560
I seen that, and he said,
"You'll be surprised at what that means."

291
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,020
It's got the house,
and all the barns, and that part--

292
00:18:10,110 --> 00:18:11,900
It's got one big barn on it,

293
00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:16,610
and then it has, I guess,
it's kinda like a makeshift half-house,

294
00:18:16,700 --> 00:18:19,160
and then their pecan cleaning production,

295
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,120
but we don't get
any of the equipment on that.

296
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,370
When we went to my sister's
for the family gathering that day,

297
00:18:26,460 --> 00:18:31,250
they decided to have a little presentation
in front of everybody.

298
00:18:31,340 --> 00:18:34,300
It was a big deal for Taylor and Wade,

299
00:18:34,380 --> 00:18:36,590
so we filmed it.

300
00:18:36,670 --> 00:18:41,220
…we're gonna run the pecans on it.
We have about 500 acres.

301
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:46,310
Wade kind of took a back seat,
and she stood in the middle of the room,

302
00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:49,190
and all the attention was on her.

303
00:18:49,270 --> 00:18:53,440
We're pretty excited.
It's a big adventure for both of us.

304
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,360
Everybody's listening,

305
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,400
and they're all just
kind of in awe of it all.

306
00:18:59,490 --> 00:19:00,860
Kinda cool.

307
00:19:00,950 --> 00:19:02,160
Wow.

308
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,700
-That's a super cool place.
-Well, Merry Christmas.

309
00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:09,870
-Thank you, man.
-Merry Christmas.

310
00:19:10,620 --> 00:19:12,130
It's "Pecan Bend" now.

311
00:19:12,210 --> 00:19:13,960
She just, she shined.

312
00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:18,760
I mean, she just kind of painted a--
a pretty picture, kind of for the future.

313
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,590
The thing about it was,

314
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,760
Pecan Point wasn't something
she would necessarily want herself,

315
00:19:24,850 --> 00:19:26,850
but she knew Wade would.

316
00:19:28,270 --> 00:19:31,810
She made it all look and seem,
like, you know, pretty normal

317
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:34,560
or, you know, a dream come true,

318
00:19:34,650 --> 00:19:36,020
more or less.

319
00:19:37,530 --> 00:19:40,740
You know, I hadn't known Taylor
but just a couple months,

320
00:19:40,820 --> 00:19:44,120
and something just kind of still
questioned me about, you know,

321
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,950
"This is all happening way too fast."

322
00:19:47,790 --> 00:19:51,750
What happened
to the car that she gave you?

323
00:19:51,830 --> 00:19:54,330
I had it about three weeks, and she said,

324
00:19:54,420 --> 00:19:58,590
"I need y'all to bring the car
to Wade's and park it in the driveway."

325
00:19:58,670 --> 00:20:02,510
"Patterson Nissan,
they're coming to pick it up on a recall."

326
00:20:02,590 --> 00:20:06,560
So I finally called the dealership,
and I said, "What's going on with my car?"

327
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:09,350
They said,
"Ma'am, that car wasn't paid for."

328
00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:11,440
"That's why we came and got it."

329
00:20:11,940 --> 00:20:13,730
It was repossessed.

330
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:15,900
I said, "Oh."

331
00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:19,190
"Okay."

332
00:20:20,570 --> 00:20:23,280
You know, a mom just knows. They know.

333
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:26,950
You just know when it's your kid.
It's a sixth sense or something.

334
00:20:27,030 --> 00:20:29,580
You just know
that something's just not right.

335
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:32,250
I just began to worry,

336
00:20:32,330 --> 00:20:35,460
you know, "What's gonna happen
if this doesn't go through?"

337
00:20:35,540 --> 00:20:38,710
Because I knew
he couldn't afford those things.

338
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,130
He couldn't pay for that.

339
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,930
Her and Wade signed the offer.

340
00:20:46,350 --> 00:20:48,100
In the next couple of days,

341
00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:53,060
we got it back,
and I asked her to verify funds.

342
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,770
She was finally going
to be able to get her inheritance.

343
00:20:56,860 --> 00:21:00,110
We have to do a little bit more vetting,
if you will,

344
00:21:00,190 --> 00:21:05,700
when it's a cash transaction
coming from a trust or an inheritance.

345
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:09,620
I might get a call from her lawyer.

346
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:13,370
I've received a couple of letters
from a local banker.

347
00:21:13,460 --> 00:21:18,630
Many times these forms of communication
would come to us at odd hours,

348
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:21,250
shortly after five o'clock
in the afternoon

349
00:21:21,340 --> 00:21:24,130
or maybe on a Saturday morning.

350
00:21:24,220 --> 00:21:30,470
Taylor put me in contact with Shelly Linx,
who oversaw her oil lease money.

351
00:21:31,810 --> 00:21:36,980
I had, uh, made
a couple attempts to reach Shelly.

352
00:21:37,060 --> 00:21:40,690
We would call. We would leave a voicemail.

353
00:21:40,770 --> 00:21:44,610
One time, Shelly emailed us back,
kind of reprimanding us

354
00:21:44,690 --> 00:21:47,700
for asking too many personal questions
about her customer.

355
00:21:47,780 --> 00:21:48,780
"Mr. Lowe…"

356
00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:51,580
"Bank information
is completely confidential."

357
00:21:51,660 --> 00:21:55,210
"The clients are not okay
with the seller calling their bank

358
00:21:55,290 --> 00:21:58,580
and are firm on their decision
in that matter."

359
00:21:58,670 --> 00:22:00,630
"Thank you, Shelly."

360
00:22:00,710 --> 00:22:03,590
I-- I mean, I was getting
my butt chewed out, obviously,

361
00:22:03,670 --> 00:22:05,340
for checking up on her.

362
00:22:08,220 --> 00:22:12,260
As time moved on,
Taylor referred us to an uncle

363
00:22:12,350 --> 00:22:14,470
that was from the Northwest named Butch.

364
00:22:15,430 --> 00:22:19,940
And Uncle Butch was going
to wire transfer $300,000

365
00:22:20,020 --> 00:22:26,030
so she could write two checks
for $150,000 each as escrow money.

366
00:22:26,110 --> 00:22:29,280
And… that didn't happen either.

367
00:22:43,170 --> 00:22:44,800
I didn't really know what to think.

368
00:22:45,550 --> 00:22:48,590
I've never dealt with this much
at one time, this fast.

369
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,260
I think there's something else going on.

370
00:22:55,970 --> 00:23:00,100
A lot of times I would go to work
and confide with my boss, Roger.

371
00:23:00,190 --> 00:23:02,270
He'd say,
"Everything happens for a reason."

372
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:05,860
He said, you know, "Me and my wife
both love her to death."

373
00:23:05,940 --> 00:23:08,740
"I don't see her
taking you down no bad path."

374
00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:12,410
"So whatever, you know, she's telling you,
it's gonna-- it's gonna be the truth."

375
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:16,370
All of a sudden the money wasn't coming
like it's supposed to,

376
00:23:16,450 --> 00:23:18,750
and there's more and more fights.

377
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,210
She would text me
and say, "I don't think he loves me."

378
00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:27,550
"I bought him this truck,

379
00:23:27,630 --> 00:23:30,010
and he's not acting
any different towards me."

380
00:23:30,090 --> 00:23:32,720
"I think he may be talking
to somebody else."

381
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:35,310
Can you please call me back?

382
00:23:35,390 --> 00:23:37,890
I have tried and tried to call you.

383
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,350
I am trying to figure something out
so I can tell Shelly.

384
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,940
I need you to call me back on--
someway, somehow.

385
00:23:46,190 --> 00:23:49,110
She was, uh, stressful all the time

386
00:23:49,190 --> 00:23:50,990
that she was gonna lose Wade.

387
00:23:54,990 --> 00:23:58,580
I work from home, and I could see
his house from where I was working.

388
00:23:58,660 --> 00:24:02,000
And Wade would be riding
the side-by-side out to the farm,

389
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,830
and she was just holding him,

390
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,420
embracing him
like, just, "This is my guy."

391
00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:11,050
Like, "I love him so much."

392
00:24:11,130 --> 00:24:16,100
And Wade would just be…
He just seemed very distant from her.

393
00:24:24,850 --> 00:24:29,820
She came over to my house one day
when her and Wade were fighting a lot.

394
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,280
She wanted to see me
as a chiropractor, which I am.

395
00:24:35,870 --> 00:24:38,950
She came in,
she was just real ecstatic, real happy.

396
00:24:39,910 --> 00:24:46,330
She said, "I want you to talk to my body
and ask if I'm pregnant."

397
00:24:46,420 --> 00:24:49,420
I asked her, I said,
"Why do you think you're pregnant?"

398
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:54,300
And she said, "Well, I looked
in the mirror and my aura has changed."

399
00:24:56,090 --> 00:24:57,390
"I just know it."

400
00:24:58,050 --> 00:24:59,970
"So how can I tell Wade?"

401
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,390
And I said, "Well, you don't."

402
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,440
"You don't tell Wade anything
until you know."

403
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:07,520
She was convinced.

404
00:25:08,650 --> 00:25:12,190
One evening, she hits me with,
"I'm pretty sure I'm-- I'm pregnant."

405
00:25:13,650 --> 00:25:16,490
Angela took her to the doctor,
she got a test, and lo and behold,

406
00:25:16,570 --> 00:25:20,200
she come back out of there
with paperwork showing she was pregnant.

407
00:25:20,830 --> 00:25:25,870
She sent me a text message
and said, "I think I'm pregnant."

408
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,290
And I was like, "Congratulations."

409
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,880
They announced that she was pregnant.

410
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,760
So I thought, "Okay."

411
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,670
Wade was maybe a little nervous

412
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,550
about what was fixing to come
and change his life, you know?

413
00:25:39,470 --> 00:25:41,810
I mean, I like to take stuff slow,
not just start jumping

414
00:25:41,890 --> 00:25:45,600
from dating one month
to all, "I'm already pregnant."

415
00:25:45,690 --> 00:25:48,270
But Roger was tickled to death.
Angela was happy.

416
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:51,320
So if she's pregnant,
then I was good with it.

417
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:56,740
She had said, "I want this baby
to call you Aunt Bae,

418
00:25:56,820 --> 00:25:58,740
Best Aunt Ever."

419
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:02,620
So she actually went and had a shirt made.

420
00:26:04,750 --> 00:26:06,750
I know that she was preparing.

421
00:26:06,830 --> 00:26:12,460
Like, we had a garage sale on the street,
and there was a high chair.

422
00:26:12,550 --> 00:26:15,130
And she was like,
"Oh, I want that high chair."

423
00:26:15,220 --> 00:26:18,340
We brought it over to her,
and she was excited to have it.

424
00:26:19,010 --> 00:26:21,970
I've never had kids before,
so this was all a first for me.

425
00:26:22,060 --> 00:26:24,560
And she's already had two.
"You're the expert here."

426
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,060
"I mean, I'm just gonna go
with whatever you're telling me."

427
00:26:28,650 --> 00:26:31,110
I felt he was obligated.

428
00:26:31,940 --> 00:26:35,110
But I think the money
helped that obligation.

429
00:26:51,250 --> 00:26:54,840
She told Codey and Stephanie
that, uh, she wants to do a gender reveal.

430
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,630
Double lines!

431
00:27:03,470 --> 00:27:05,560
I was like, "Oh, wow, that's so exciting."

432
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:06,980
But I had asked Codey one day,

433
00:27:07,060 --> 00:27:10,900
I'm like, "I don't think that she,
like, really has many friends."

434
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,770
Because the way she acted towards me.

435
00:27:13,860 --> 00:27:16,280
Well, he actually was like,
"Just be nice."

436
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:20,780
"She really likes you,
so let's do it this day."

437
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:27,120
She had a list of people
that she wanted to invite.

438
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,540
I said, "So you're not…
your mom or anything?"

439
00:27:29,620 --> 00:27:32,500
She's like,
"No, don't mention it to my mom."

440
00:27:32,580 --> 00:27:36,760
"Nobody on… That's a no-go.
We don't do that."

441
00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:41,840
Taylor was sending me the report
that was saying if it was a boy or a girl.

442
00:27:41,930 --> 00:27:44,470
And so I sent that on over to her friend.

443
00:27:44,550 --> 00:27:48,520
It said, "Congratulations,
Taylor Parker, it's a girl."

444
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,350
And I'm, like, looking
at this paper really well,

445
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,270
and I noticed the date on it.

446
00:27:54,610 --> 00:27:57,110
And the date on it said 2016.

447
00:27:57,820 --> 00:28:01,910
So I call her, and I said,
"Are you sure this is the right paper?"

448
00:28:01,990 --> 00:28:04,660
And she said,
"Let me call my doctor right now."

449
00:28:04,740 --> 00:28:08,160
Well, it seemed like 30 seconds
may have passed by.

450
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:14,630
And she said, "There were over 200
or 100 misprints that day in the lab."

451
00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:19,130
"So they're gonna send a new one,
but she did say the gender is right."

452
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,890
I knew something was off.

453
00:28:39,150 --> 00:28:41,320
-So cute.
-It's a little girl.

454
00:28:41,990 --> 00:28:45,620
The day
of the gender reveal was very awkward.

455
00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:48,200
But she seemed really excited.

456
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,750
She kind of, like, started
screaming and jumping up

457
00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:54,830
and, like, clapping,
and it was kind of quiet.

458
00:28:56,460 --> 00:28:58,090
They come around double-wide over there,

459
00:28:58,170 --> 00:29:00,630
they come around the side of the house
with a little calf,

460
00:29:00,710 --> 00:29:02,970
and it had a pink little bow
around its neck.

461
00:29:03,050 --> 00:29:06,300
You know? And they're all excited
and everything else, you know,

462
00:29:06,390 --> 00:29:08,180
and I just start clapping or whatnot.

463
00:29:08,260 --> 00:29:11,560
-Show the cow who's the boss.
-Oh, my God!

464
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,520
I told her I always liked the name Clancy.

465
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,400
So she come up
with the-- the middle name, Clancy Gaile.

466
00:29:20,820 --> 00:29:23,610
When he told me,
I was like, "Mmm." You know?

467
00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:25,910
"That's different."

468
00:29:25,990 --> 00:29:30,080
He said, "Mama, I've had that name
picked out for… for years."

469
00:29:30,660 --> 00:29:32,080
Y'all wanna get some pictures?

470
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,210
He was excited.
He was wanting to be a father.

471
00:29:34,290 --> 00:29:35,710
He always wanted to be a father.

472
00:29:35,790 --> 00:29:37,920
I mean, what man does not want
to be a father, you know?

473
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,460
I don't know but a handful, maybe.

474
00:29:42,460 --> 00:29:45,590
I saw pictures of this gender reveal.

475
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,600
She had this baby calf
and had a pink bow around it,

476
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,560
and it was a girl.

477
00:29:52,180 --> 00:29:54,350
It made me sick.

478
00:29:54,430 --> 00:29:56,940
It made me so sick to my stomach.

479
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:58,940
Because I knew,

480
00:29:59,020 --> 00:30:01,270
I mean, that she can't be pregnant.

481
00:30:03,190 --> 00:30:05,530
She had a hysterectomy.

482
00:30:12,330 --> 00:30:15,370
Our first involvement
with Taylor was in 2010,

483
00:30:15,460 --> 00:30:18,830
I think, at the age of 17,
for her first pregnancy.

484
00:30:19,330 --> 00:30:21,090
After her second child,

485
00:30:21,170 --> 00:30:23,000
she did not want to have
any more children,

486
00:30:23,090 --> 00:30:25,510
so she made the decision
on permanent sterilization,

487
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:27,050
physically blocking the tubes

488
00:30:27,130 --> 00:30:29,180
so that you can't have children anymore.

489
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:32,560
She signed the appropriate consent forms,
went through the wait period,

490
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,390
and, uh, was still adamant
that that's what she wanted.

491
00:30:36,350 --> 00:30:38,730
Taylor came back
about a year and a half later

492
00:30:38,810 --> 00:30:39,810
with bleeding.

493
00:30:39,900 --> 00:30:42,480
She had a cyst on the right ovary.

494
00:30:42,980 --> 00:30:46,280
When we got inside,
she also had what looked like

495
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,200
a visible ectopic pregnancy
in the left tube.

496
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,570
An ectopic pregnancy
cannot be carried to term.

497
00:30:51,660 --> 00:30:54,740
It would be dangerous
and most likely life-threatening.

498
00:30:54,830 --> 00:30:56,830
The decision was made to do a hysterectomy

499
00:30:56,910 --> 00:30:59,250
and a removal of both tubes
and the right ovary.

500
00:30:59,330 --> 00:31:02,670
After a patient has had a hysterectomy,
she cannot become pregnant

501
00:31:02,750 --> 00:31:06,170
because she no longer
has a uterus to get pregnant from.

502
00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:58,930
This is a small town,
and she was a patient of ours.

503
00:31:59,020 --> 00:32:00,480
In 2020,

504
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,060
we started seeing, uh,
social media posts about her pregnancy.

505
00:32:06,270 --> 00:32:09,320
When we first found out
Taylor was saying she was pregnant

506
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,030
and announced it on Facebook,

507
00:32:11,110 --> 00:32:14,910
we were very confused
because we knew that she could not be.

508
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:21,210
We couldn't publicly say anything about it
because we were bound by privacy laws.

509
00:32:21,290 --> 00:32:25,210
Unless there is something
that's endangering someone else,

510
00:32:25,290 --> 00:32:27,000
then we can't break those HIPAA laws.

511
00:32:27,090 --> 00:32:30,170
We were being put
in a very difficult position.

512
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:41,930
Me and Abby knew
she's not what she paints herself to be.

513
00:32:44,150 --> 00:32:46,440
-Abby!
-Uh-uh!

514
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,990
And when I first met Taylor,
we hit it off immediately.

515
00:32:51,070 --> 00:32:55,870
She became a very close friend of mine,
I would say literally almost overnight.

516
00:32:58,620 --> 00:33:03,040
Before everything happened, Kenzie,
Taylor, and I were all best friends.

517
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,040
And we would spend basically
all our time together.

518
00:33:06,130 --> 00:33:08,380
Blah!

519
00:33:08,460 --> 00:33:12,720
24-7. If we weren't together,
there was at least two of us together.

520
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,680
Our emotions were very connected.
If I was sad, she was sad.

521
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,430
If she was sad, I was.
If she was happy, me too.

522
00:33:21,470 --> 00:33:23,640
But I was worried bad for her.

523
00:33:23,730 --> 00:33:28,440
As my close friend, I was so worried
because Taylor stayed sick.

524
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,820
She stayed sick all the time.

525
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,820
She had all these conditions.

526
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,700
She was always in and out of the hospital.

527
00:33:36,780 --> 00:33:39,120
I remember there was
always pictures of her,

528
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,660
like, in the hospital,
she was taking selfies.

529
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:48,750
Taylor told me
that she had been diagnosed with MS.

530
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,750
She also had cancer,
from my understanding.

531
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,380
At one time, she had had,
like, a brain tumor or something.

532
00:33:55,470 --> 00:33:57,050
She'd had a stroke.

533
00:33:57,140 --> 00:33:59,720
I mean, all of these things
kind of played into each other.

534
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,640
There was a lot of posts about it.

535
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,310
She would actually have times
when you could see deficit

536
00:34:05,390 --> 00:34:06,640
from the stroke.

537
00:34:06,730 --> 00:34:09,310
You would see slurring, drooping face.

538
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,990
I mean, I genuinely believed
that she had suffered a stroke.

539
00:34:14,070 --> 00:34:15,820
It's always something with Taylor.

540
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,200
She would put on Facebook

541
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,320
that she was either sick
or she had a headache.

542
00:34:19,410 --> 00:34:23,700
After it kept happening and happening
and happening over and over,

543
00:34:23,790 --> 00:34:26,660
I started being like,
"Yeah, maybe she's not really sick."

544
00:34:26,750 --> 00:34:28,960
"Maybe it's, like, something else."

545
00:34:29,790 --> 00:34:33,420
At the same time, I was going
through health problems of my own

546
00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:36,090
and was actually told
that I would never have kids naturally.

547
00:34:36,170 --> 00:34:38,380
Taylor shared those emotions with me.

548
00:34:38,470 --> 00:34:41,260
And then once she found out
that I was pregnant,

549
00:34:41,350 --> 00:34:43,310
it was like she was pregnant
with her own child.

550
00:34:43,390 --> 00:34:47,600
It was just so exciting for both of us.

551
00:34:49,230 --> 00:34:53,520
As my pregnancy progressed,
she wanted to be in everything.

552
00:34:53,610 --> 00:34:56,280
And as my best friend,
I was fine with that, you know?

553
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,200
But then after Taylor had realized
McKenzie was having a girl,

554
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,580
things got super weird.

555
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,910
She wanted to plan the gender reveal.

556
00:35:04,990 --> 00:35:07,120
She wanted to be there
for the ultrasounds.

557
00:35:07,210 --> 00:35:09,170
She wanted to know
when the appointments were.

558
00:35:09,250 --> 00:35:11,580
How was Kenzie doing?
How was the baby doing?

559
00:35:11,670 --> 00:35:15,420
She wanted the login
to my pregnancy tracking app

560
00:35:15,500 --> 00:35:18,300
so that she could watch
the progress of my pregnancy.

561
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,140
It was concerning.
I mean, I know you're happy for her,

562
00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:24,680
but you don't have
to be, like, crazy happy.

563
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,980
It's like she wanted
the pregnancy to be hers.

564
00:35:28,980 --> 00:35:32,440
And then she asked
if one of us could carry a baby for her.

565
00:35:32,980 --> 00:35:36,190
She said, "Okay, I've accepted
that I can't have any more kids."

566
00:35:37,070 --> 00:35:38,690
"Would one of y'all want to do it for me?"

567
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:44,780
She said that whoever carried this baby
would get a minimum of $50,000.

568
00:35:44,870 --> 00:35:46,540
But how could you have another baby

569
00:35:46,620 --> 00:35:49,540
when you didn't even take care
of the two kids you had?

570
00:35:49,620 --> 00:35:54,460
That was the first time I took
a step back from Taylor and was like…

571
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,260
"You're scaring me."

572
00:35:58,260 --> 00:36:03,590
She became obsessive with my pregnancy,
and I had to cut her off.

573
00:36:05,180 --> 00:36:08,890
Then I heard through her social media
that she was pregnant,

574
00:36:08,980 --> 00:36:11,270
that her and Wade were gonna have a baby.

575
00:36:12,350 --> 00:36:16,190
I feel like she got far enough away
from our friend group

576
00:36:16,270 --> 00:36:20,190
that she could start
this whole lie over again.

577
00:36:21,070 --> 00:36:23,450
He didn't know
that she'd had a hysterectomy.

578
00:36:29,540 --> 00:36:33,870
After the gender reveal, I call that lab,

579
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,130
and I just said, "Hey, there was someone
I knew that went and had lab work done,"

580
00:36:38,750 --> 00:36:40,920
and I read this lady
the gender reveal paper,

581
00:36:41,010 --> 00:36:44,680
and she said,
"We don't send things like that."

582
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,890
I actually called the clinic,
and I spoke to the office manager,

583
00:36:48,970 --> 00:36:51,730
and she said, "If you don't mind
me asking, what's her name?"

584
00:36:51,810 --> 00:36:53,730
And I said, "Taylor Parker."

585
00:36:53,810 --> 00:36:55,810
With the HIPAA laws, I told her, I said,

586
00:36:55,900 --> 00:37:01,990
"I cannot give you any information
since she used to be a patient of ours."

587
00:37:02,070 --> 00:37:05,360
"But what all you've told me,
I can tell you this, just go with your…"

588
00:37:05,450 --> 00:37:07,530
"…gut, trust your instincts."

589
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,990
And I left it at that.

590
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,160
Me and Connie are talking at this point,

591
00:37:13,250 --> 00:37:16,380
like, she has said so many things
that did not add up.

592
00:37:16,460 --> 00:37:20,710
She and I talked every day
about what she had learned or found out,

593
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,470
and some of the clinics
she claimed to have gone to,

594
00:37:23,550 --> 00:37:26,430
and they wouldn't say,
but they would kind of say,

595
00:37:26,510 --> 00:37:29,470
"You're-- You're probably
on to something."

596
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,020
I even asked Angela at the time, I said,

597
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:35,230
"Did you go in with her
to Healthcare Express?"

598
00:37:35,850 --> 00:37:37,400
She said, "No."

599
00:37:39,980 --> 00:37:42,860
She would sit up in the bed,
eleven, twelve o'clock at night,

600
00:37:42,940 --> 00:37:44,860
you know, trying to investigate.

601
00:37:44,950 --> 00:37:46,780
You know, I would be nice at first, like,

602
00:37:46,860 --> 00:37:49,120
"Baby, what are you still doing up?"
You know?

603
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,080
"Oh, I'm just scrolling through Taylor's…"

604
00:37:52,660 --> 00:37:54,960
Why in the fuck are you scrolling--
What the fuck?

605
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,710
Gosh damn, leave that shit alone.

606
00:37:57,790 --> 00:37:59,040
I was like…

607
00:38:00,380 --> 00:38:01,750
"Am I crazy?"

608
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:07,010
Like, "She wouldn't go through all this
to not be pregnant."

609
00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:12,310
The gender reveal, her dad was there,
her kids were there.

610
00:38:12,390 --> 00:38:14,810
I mean, you know, in your mind you think,

611
00:38:14,890 --> 00:38:18,270
"Well, why are they here
if it's not true?"

612
00:38:18,350 --> 00:38:20,270
I mean, they would know.

613
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,240
She's got to be pregnant
or somebody would say something.

614
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,360
I started getting e-mails
and text messages while I was at work.

615
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,950
It'd be from different numbers
that I didn't really know.

616
00:39:09,860 --> 00:39:12,280
Me and Taylor getting them
pretty much every day.

617
00:39:12,370 --> 00:39:14,580
I would get some
and then she would get some.

618
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,000
This person was sending
text messages to him randomly

619
00:39:20,580 --> 00:39:22,880
throughout the day and night.

620
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,460
Not just one or two.
It'd be eight or ten a day or so.

621
00:39:26,550 --> 00:39:30,510
It was stuff that you would read,
like, "Who thinks like this?"

622
00:39:31,260 --> 00:39:32,180
Horrible thoughts.

623
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,770
I got a-- a letter in my business e-mail.

624
00:39:38,850 --> 00:39:41,980
That's when it really kind of started
getting involved in our life.

625
00:39:42,060 --> 00:39:44,820
It said,
"Listen, you know nothing about Taylor."

626
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:47,070
"Don't try to be a mother figure to her."

627
00:39:47,150 --> 00:39:50,200
"See, I'm going to send her
in such a deep depression,

628
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,320
she'll probably try to kill herself
like she's tried before."

629
00:39:53,410 --> 00:39:57,370
"But if not then,
me making Wade leave will do the trick."

630
00:39:58,250 --> 00:40:00,790
I told him, I said,
"Wade, there's something going on."

631
00:40:00,870 --> 00:40:03,130
"This is… This is not right."

632
00:40:03,210 --> 00:40:07,000
He finally called me one day and he said,
"Mama, here, look at these text messages."

633
00:40:11,470 --> 00:40:15,470
"We found out today
that her mother is behind that."

634
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,560
One evening she called me on the phone
and she was terribly distraught,

635
00:40:25,650 --> 00:40:28,820
crying on the phone
and telling me this whole story

636
00:40:28,900 --> 00:40:31,570
about how her mother
had come back in the picture

637
00:40:31,650 --> 00:40:35,660
and caused all these problems for her,
and none of it was gonna work out.

638
00:40:37,990 --> 00:40:40,870
She was very distraught

639
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,380
when she had to tell us
that… that wasn't gonna happen.

640
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,000
She was not gonna be able to purchase.

641
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,300
Her mother had gone
supposedly in the bank prior

642
00:40:51,380 --> 00:40:54,760
and had all kinds of things changed
where then she couldn't get the money.

643
00:40:55,890 --> 00:40:59,100
All of a sudden,
the mom's back in the picture.

644
00:40:59,180 --> 00:41:02,600
And she had orchestrated all that.

645
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,780
I told her,
"I can't believe your mom is doing this."

646
00:41:10,860 --> 00:41:13,240
"Can't believe you and your mom
can't come to some kinda peace

647
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,610
on this whole deal."

648
00:41:15,950 --> 00:41:18,280
But once her mom found out
she was pregnant,

649
00:41:18,370 --> 00:41:21,250
she was just kind of against her having
any kind of kid with me

650
00:41:21,330 --> 00:41:24,040
that's gonna be getting
any kind of inheritance like that.

651
00:41:24,620 --> 00:41:28,040
She said, "I warned you
what kind of person she was."

652
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:31,340
It really upset him, you know,

653
00:41:31,420 --> 00:41:33,630
that he had to go back
and face his family,

654
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:37,050
knowing that it wasn't ever gonna happen.

655
00:41:41,390 --> 00:41:43,930
Right in the middle
of everything else that was going on,

656
00:41:44,020 --> 00:41:47,560
Taylor was portraying it more,
you know, happy-go-lucky family.

657
00:41:47,650 --> 00:41:49,570
Like, "so many weeks pregnant,"

658
00:41:49,650 --> 00:41:51,730
and have her hand
on her stomach or whatever.

659
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,620
All people see is
the social media side of things.

660
00:42:01,700 --> 00:42:06,210
All they see is the happy smiling faces
and this loving, happy relationship.

661
00:42:09,130 --> 00:42:12,800
It revolved around Taylor.
She thrives off validation.

662
00:42:18,390 --> 00:42:21,680
I knew Taylor
from junior high to high school.

663
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,730
She cared about the way she looked.
She cared about her weight.

664
00:42:24,810 --> 00:42:27,650
But she was very insecure.

665
00:42:27,730 --> 00:42:32,980
Taylor would meet
most of the boys she spoke to online.

666
00:42:33,070 --> 00:42:38,740
She would ask girls
for pictures of themselves, neck down.

667
00:42:38,820 --> 00:42:40,620
But she had no shame in saying,

668
00:42:40,700 --> 00:42:43,700
like, "Oh, I'm sending it
to this guy I'm talking to."

669
00:42:43,790 --> 00:42:46,910
You know, they're thinking, like,
"You're just openly asking me

670
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,540
to give you a nude picture of myself

671
00:42:48,620 --> 00:42:52,250
to send to some random person
to catfish them."

672
00:42:52,340 --> 00:42:55,670
Like, "Taylor!" Like, "What are they
going to do when they see you?"

673
00:42:57,420 --> 00:43:01,010
Not long before I'd met her,
she'd lost a lot of weight.

674
00:43:01,510 --> 00:43:03,140
She had a…

675
00:43:04,060 --> 00:43:05,390
gastric sleeve done.

676
00:43:05,970 --> 00:43:08,770
She would say things
about how her skin looked

677
00:43:08,850 --> 00:43:12,770
and how she wished
that she could just take it off, you know.

678
00:43:12,860 --> 00:43:16,440
But then would get ready
and was so confident.

679
00:43:16,530 --> 00:43:18,740
You could not destroy her confidence.

680
00:43:20,820 --> 00:43:23,990
I worked with Taylor from 2018 to 2019.

681
00:43:25,410 --> 00:43:27,960
At the time,
I was the recruiting coordinator there.

682
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,750
She seemed like a good worker.
She seemed like she was on top of it.

683
00:43:30,830 --> 00:43:32,250
She was eager to learn.

684
00:43:33,340 --> 00:43:36,170
To be honest, I was going
through a very hard time.

685
00:43:36,260 --> 00:43:39,880
I'd just lost my youngest daughter
in February of '18.

686
00:43:39,970 --> 00:43:44,470
So I was doing good
to get up and go to work.

687
00:43:46,470 --> 00:43:48,310
When I would have a hard day,

688
00:43:48,390 --> 00:43:51,350
you know, Taylor would talk
about how she had lost her baby girl too,

689
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,360
you know, that was born with brain damage.

690
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,530
And-- And so she really knew
what it was like to hold,

691
00:43:57,610 --> 00:44:00,490
you know, your child while they…

692
00:44:00,570 --> 00:44:05,450
And so for another mom
to feel that, or another person,

693
00:44:05,530 --> 00:44:08,040
because you don't know how that feels
until you experience it.

694
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,960
And it's… beyond devastating.

695
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:16,750
And that's what would make me feel
like she understood and vice versa.

696
00:44:18,130 --> 00:44:20,340
But, of course, that wasn't true either.

697
00:44:22,220 --> 00:44:27,350
She mimicked people in all facets of life.

698
00:44:27,850 --> 00:44:32,440
I feel like she tried to mimic
a lot of what I went through too.

699
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:37,690
It's almost like she has to piece together
parts of other people's real lives

700
00:44:37,780 --> 00:44:40,860
to make hers feel a little bit more real.

701
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,860
You said you gave birth
to a baby that had brain damage

702
00:44:43,950 --> 00:44:46,490
that you held while dying,
like I did my daughter,

703
00:44:46,580 --> 00:44:48,200
and that was a lie.

704
00:44:48,290 --> 00:44:49,700
That was my daughter's story.

705
00:44:49,790 --> 00:44:52,660
That wasn't for her to use
to manipulate and lie.

706
00:44:52,750 --> 00:44:55,830
And it feels very, um, violating.

707
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,500
Later, and only to find out

708
00:44:58,590 --> 00:45:01,920
that she actually was not doing
any of her job, really.

709
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,760
Not scheduling appointments, really,
not inputting applications.

710
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:10,720
She was using my job title in her e-mails,
unbeknownst to our boss.

711
00:45:10,810 --> 00:45:12,310
And that's when she was fired.

712
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,190
At the same time, Taylor started
a side photography business.

713
00:45:19,270 --> 00:45:21,820
She would do it on the weekends,

714
00:45:21,900 --> 00:45:27,030
weddings, engagement announcements,
family portraits, happy moments,

715
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:32,870
like family-oriented,
but happy, big, life-altering life events.

716
00:45:33,870 --> 00:45:37,170
It's like she wanted
to somehow be a part of.

717
00:45:43,300 --> 00:45:47,220
My daughter, Reagan,
had a photographer at her wedding.

718
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,470
I asked how, you know, how she came about
and what she had done before.

719
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,390
And she said one of her friends
had recommended her,

720
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,810
and she was trying
to stay budget-friendly,

721
00:45:56,900 --> 00:46:00,520
so this person was ideal for that.

722
00:46:00,610 --> 00:46:01,980
Um, her name was Taylor Parker.

723
00:46:02,730 --> 00:46:06,110
Very, uh, polite young lady,
you know, real…

724
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,530
Pretty, uh-- She was a lot
like Reagan to me.

725
00:46:11,450 --> 00:46:12,950
The moments she captured

726
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,040
of Reagan and the wedding
were absolutely beautiful,

727
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,210
and Taylor made sure she greeted everybody

728
00:46:19,290 --> 00:46:22,880
and told everyone who she was
and what she was doing there.

729
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:24,340
And-- And it didn't feel

730
00:46:24,420 --> 00:46:28,090
like she was just some random stranger
none of us had ever met.

731
00:46:28,180 --> 00:46:30,510
Almost felt like she was a bridesmaid
at one point,

732
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,220
'cause she was in all of our selfies.

733
00:46:32,810 --> 00:46:35,850
I asked about her.
"Who is she? Where is she from?"

734
00:46:35,930 --> 00:46:39,440
Reagan had mentioned that she was
going through some difficulties

735
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,770
with her ex-husband,
I believe is what she said.

736
00:46:41,860 --> 00:46:45,940
She was just kind of having a hard time,
and Reagan was trying to include her

737
00:46:46,030 --> 00:46:47,950
to kind of take her mind off of that.

738
00:46:48,030 --> 00:46:51,620
So they had gotten close, closer,
you know, more acquainted

739
00:46:51,700 --> 00:46:53,160
throughout this process,

740
00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:57,410
and so Reagan invited her to hang out
with everybody after the reception.

741
00:46:57,500 --> 00:47:00,000
She made her feel
like just one of us girls.

742
00:47:01,500 --> 00:47:04,130
And I still look
at all of those photos today

743
00:47:04,210 --> 00:47:07,880
because of how spectacular that day was,

744
00:47:07,970 --> 00:47:10,090
and Taylor as a person,

745
00:47:10,180 --> 00:47:13,640
you would have never known her
to be any other way.

746
00:48:01,940 --> 00:48:04,190
She would go to a doctor appointment,

747
00:48:04,270 --> 00:48:07,650
but I couldn't ever go in with her
because of COVID at the time.

748
00:48:07,730 --> 00:48:12,990
When I did try to go, she said the doctor
had an emergency or he couldn't meet us.

749
00:48:13,070 --> 00:48:14,740
Um, we had to reschedule.

750
00:48:14,830 --> 00:48:17,540
Was she starting to look pregnant ever?

751
00:48:17,620 --> 00:48:19,120
She gained weight,

752
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:25,380
but the belly thing didn't seem
to, you know, really show that much,

753
00:48:25,460 --> 00:48:28,210
for the months that she claimed she was.

754
00:48:29,210 --> 00:48:32,630
But on Facebook or whatever,
and there was pictures.

755
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,310
She came over where I was at.
She says, "Feel right here."

756
00:48:42,810 --> 00:48:44,440
And all of a sudden, the baby kicked.

757
00:48:46,980 --> 00:48:49,610
I felt it. My husband felt it.

758
00:48:49,690 --> 00:48:52,740
And… why would you not believe it?

759
00:48:52,820 --> 00:48:55,280
Taylor had them two in her back pocket.

760
00:48:55,370 --> 00:48:58,040
Roger, he went hard on him, you know?
Like, "Man, you wanna step up?"

761
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,290
"You gonna take care
of this woman and this baby?"

762
00:49:00,370 --> 00:49:01,580
"You know, 'cause it's yours."

763
00:49:01,660 --> 00:49:04,250
"My wife felt the baby moving
in your wife's belly."

764
00:49:05,670 --> 00:49:07,710
I would see a picture of her
or something like… "Ah."

765
00:49:07,790 --> 00:49:11,090
Steph would be like, "Look, I told--
Look, she's skinny this day. Look here."

766
00:49:12,220 --> 00:49:15,090
Five days ago, she looked
like she's gosh damn nine months pregnant.

767
00:49:17,100 --> 00:49:20,970
It was just some crazy jacked up junk
for sure, no doubt.

768
00:49:25,020 --> 00:49:28,360
During that summer,
time together was very limited.

769
00:49:29,270 --> 00:49:32,280
She never hardly wanted ever me
to see her naked or anything

770
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,610
because she said she was insecure
with her stretch marks.

771
00:49:36,820 --> 00:49:39,910
We never really did anything at all
pretty much.

772
00:49:40,620 --> 00:49:43,120
He said, "Man,
she won't let me, you know, touch her,

773
00:49:43,210 --> 00:49:45,080
get close with her, anything like that."

774
00:49:45,170 --> 00:49:49,670
He was like, "Codey, we ain't had sex
in four months, four to five months."

775
00:49:49,750 --> 00:49:51,300
I said, "Dude, what?"

776
00:49:53,970 --> 00:49:55,880
She'd go in the bathroom
and shut the door,

777
00:49:55,970 --> 00:49:58,430
and then she'd spend hours
doing just whatever.

778
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,640
Wade doing his own thing.
Like I said, it wasn't like he's the type

779
00:50:04,730 --> 00:50:07,520
that went to work, came home,
sat in the house, and they were together.

780
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,480
Every single day,
he was doing something all the time.

781
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:18,660
There was no space for him to sit down
and realize what was going on.

782
00:50:27,580 --> 00:50:31,550
I mean, she had ultrasounds.
She had the fake belly.

783
00:50:31,630 --> 00:50:34,670
She had enough to make it believable.

784
00:50:36,380 --> 00:50:37,930
To her, it was just…

785
00:50:38,590 --> 00:50:40,300
"Whatever I gotta do."

786
00:50:41,350 --> 00:50:43,640
"Whatever I gotta do
to keep this man with me."

787
00:50:49,730 --> 00:50:54,320
My love must be a kind of blind love

788
00:50:57,570 --> 00:51:01,870
I can't see anyone but you

789
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:05,450
Sha bop, sha bop

790
00:51:08,250 --> 00:51:09,370
Sha bop, sha bop

791
00:51:12,290 --> 00:51:13,420
Sha bop, sha bop

792
00:51:16,210 --> 00:51:17,630
Sha bop, sha bop…

793
00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:19,590
I'm a Western photographer.

794
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:24,220
I do, like, photography, like,
for Western people, seniors.

795
00:51:24,310 --> 00:51:29,520
I do newborns, engagements.
I do maternity, weddings.

796
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,270
I do do Western weddings only.

797
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:37,990
Taylor Parker, she reached out to me
and wanted me to do a maternity session.

798
00:51:41,780 --> 00:51:44,030
"I'm a photographer myself

799
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,500
and needing some Western-style
pregnancy couple pictures done."

800
00:51:47,580 --> 00:51:51,120
"I'd love to lay on the horse's back
with my belly in the air

801
00:51:51,210 --> 00:51:55,500
and have Wade holding the horse
looking at me. Just an idea."

802
00:52:02,010 --> 00:52:06,510
She was absolutely excited
about being pregnant.

803
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,350
I felt like she liked
having her pictures taken.

804
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,770
She felt very confident.

805
00:52:12,850 --> 00:52:16,780
She was super happy, excited.

806
00:52:18,860 --> 00:52:22,660
And I did a smoke bomb with my Watusi.

807
00:52:22,740 --> 00:52:25,450
And they acted like they were branding.

808
00:52:25,530 --> 00:52:29,120
It was pink.
And it was really neat looking.

809
00:52:30,620 --> 00:52:35,540
She said that she was ready
to get back to normal, back to her body.

810
00:52:35,630 --> 00:52:39,630
Like, she had just gained a lot of weight.
But she looked really good.

811
00:52:39,710 --> 00:52:41,970
I thought she looked very good.

812
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,640
We actually had a really good time.

813
00:52:45,720 --> 00:52:48,560
We talked. We laughed.

814
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,350
After they left,
I even told my husband. I was like,

815
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:57,400
"Oh, my gosh, they're so nice.
She's so bubbly and friendly."

816
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,690
Like, "They're such good people."

817
00:53:04,740 --> 00:53:06,240
Now she's doing this.

818
00:53:07,450 --> 00:53:10,910
And I seen the pictures
and of course she looks big and pregnant.

819
00:53:11,910 --> 00:53:13,790
Then my sister-in-law was like,

820
00:53:13,870 --> 00:53:17,250
"Oh, my gosh, you don't know this girl,
but her name is McKenzie Bright."

821
00:53:17,340 --> 00:53:20,550
"She knows Taylor.
You need to, like, message her."

822
00:53:20,630 --> 00:53:23,010
Stephanie had reached out to me

823
00:53:23,510 --> 00:53:26,390
and was like,
"Hey, I-- I need to know some things."

824
00:53:26,470 --> 00:53:30,520
She said, "Taylor cannot have kids.
She's had a hysterectomy."

825
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,350
"There's no way she can
have a baby, period."

826
00:53:33,940 --> 00:53:36,440
"Nothing down there left for…" You know.

827
00:53:38,230 --> 00:53:39,320
I mean…

828
00:53:40,530 --> 00:53:43,570
The word got out.
All the people that knew…

829
00:53:44,530 --> 00:53:46,700
started, you know,
within their own inner circles,

830
00:53:46,780 --> 00:53:48,700
going, "No, she can't be pregnant."

831
00:53:49,450 --> 00:53:54,040
But again, it was kind of her thing
to get just far enough away

832
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,500
where "I can tell these lies again,

833
00:53:56,580 --> 00:54:00,000
but close enough
where I'm familiar with the person."

834
00:54:00,590 --> 00:54:03,590
But she got Reagan and stuck to her.

835
00:54:05,090 --> 00:54:06,800
Stop videoing me!

836
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,060
I can remember it vividly.

837
00:54:10,140 --> 00:54:11,970
We were walking out of the doctor's office

838
00:54:12,060 --> 00:54:14,850
and Reagan gets, um,
a message on her phone

839
00:54:14,930 --> 00:54:16,770
and she's just like, "Ugh."

840
00:54:16,850 --> 00:54:18,440
And I said, "Well, what's wrong?"

841
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,110
She said, "Oh, people are
giving Taylor a hard time,

842
00:54:21,190 --> 00:54:23,230
trying to tell her
she's not really pregnant

843
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,530
and that, you know, she's lying."

844
00:54:25,610 --> 00:54:27,780
And I was like, "Why?
Why would they do that?"

845
00:54:27,860 --> 00:54:30,240
She said, "I don't know, Mama."
She said, "It's just…"

846
00:54:30,330 --> 00:54:31,950
"You know how people are."

847
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,450
If somebody needed somebody

848
00:54:33,540 --> 00:54:35,910
and nobody was there,
Reagan would be there.

849
00:54:38,290 --> 00:54:42,090
When she first got pregnant
with her first daughter,

850
00:54:42,170 --> 00:54:43,920
she was 17.

851
00:54:44,550 --> 00:54:48,760
So it was hard for me at first.
You know, I was-- I was disappointed.

852
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,100
I was furious.

853
00:54:50,180 --> 00:54:54,680
I was-- I was upset and I knew
that it could change your life

854
00:54:54,770 --> 00:54:57,810
and make starting a life a lot harder.

855
00:54:57,890 --> 00:55:00,440
I was over the moon about it 'cause…

856
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,150
…we both loved babies.

857
00:55:04,110 --> 00:55:07,200
She's always wanted to be a mom
since she was little.

858
00:55:07,780 --> 00:55:10,990
It was like she was always meant
to be a mother. That was her thing.

859
00:55:11,070 --> 00:55:15,120
She was-- She was the best mother
that-- that I think I've ever met.

860
00:55:15,700 --> 00:55:18,160
She didn't care that she was only 17.

861
00:55:18,250 --> 00:55:19,580
That wasn't in her mind.

862
00:55:19,670 --> 00:55:22,750
She wanted to be successful, of course,
but she wanted to be a mother,

863
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:23,960
a successful mother.

864
00:55:24,050 --> 00:55:25,630
Here. It's an orange.

865
00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:31,850
After she had her baby girl,

866
00:55:31,930 --> 00:55:35,680
um, she, like, just came out
of her shell completely.

867
00:55:36,180 --> 00:55:39,190
And then she met Homer.

868
00:55:41,190 --> 00:55:42,940
I believe it was in May

869
00:55:43,020 --> 00:55:45,900
that she let us know
that she was pregnant again.

870
00:55:45,980 --> 00:55:48,950
And we were just over the moon
for her and Homer.

871
00:55:49,030 --> 00:55:52,820
And they were so excited.
You could just feel it in all of 'em.

872
00:55:53,450 --> 00:55:55,200
I said it's going to be a girl.

873
00:55:55,290 --> 00:55:58,460
Hey, what's in my belly?
What's in my belly?

874
00:55:58,540 --> 00:56:00,040
-Baby.
-What kind of baby?

875
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:01,790
Is it a brother or sister?

876
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:02,830
Sister.

877
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,040
Yeah!

878
00:56:04,130 --> 00:56:05,590
A sister!

879
00:56:08,340 --> 00:56:09,720
By that time,

880
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,800
none of us had any idea
what she was gonna do.

881
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:17,560
At some point,
she's gonna have to fake a miscarriage.

882
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,810
I mean, that's the only way out of this.

883
00:56:19,890 --> 00:56:22,270
She'd say, you know,
"I lost the baby today," and…

884
00:56:22,980 --> 00:56:25,770
that would be, you know, the end of it.

885
00:56:25,860 --> 00:56:27,530
But that never came.

886
00:56:30,820 --> 00:56:35,660
I heard of the hysterectomy and all that,
but I had nothing in writing,

887
00:56:35,740 --> 00:56:38,910
nothing from a doctor,
nothing to present to him to say,

888
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,160
"Look, this is all a lie."

889
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,250
Well, I would put questions in his mind.
He would listen to me.

890
00:56:45,340 --> 00:56:48,000
He would relay the questions I had to her,

891
00:56:48,090 --> 00:56:50,090
but she always had a counter.

892
00:56:50,170 --> 00:56:52,510
To everything I presented,
she countered it.

893
00:56:53,130 --> 00:56:56,140
So it was a tug-of-war between she and I.

894
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,560
She said, "I just don't think
your mom wants us to be happy."

895
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:01,270
"She probably don't trust me."

896
00:57:01,350 --> 00:57:05,020
She said, "But I'll make sure
that all this works out in the end."

897
00:57:05,100 --> 00:57:08,190
Connie don't want
Wade to be upset with her,

898
00:57:08,270 --> 00:57:10,990
so she kind of backed off,
and I was like, "Well, I don't care."

899
00:57:11,780 --> 00:57:16,280
I ended up just saying, "All this stuff
that you have told me has been a lie."

900
00:57:16,370 --> 00:57:18,910
When I hit her with everything
is when she said,

901
00:57:18,990 --> 00:57:21,700
"Well, let me tell you
how all this happened."

902
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:27,710
She blamed her mother
for all of the things that she'd done.

903
00:57:34,050 --> 00:57:36,840
None of it made sense.
If she didn't want you to be pregnant,

904
00:57:36,930 --> 00:57:39,760
why would she hire somebody
to fake an ultrasound?

905
00:57:43,140 --> 00:57:45,940
But everything I would say,
she had something to say,

906
00:57:46,020 --> 00:57:48,570
even though she sounded like a… idiot.

907
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,740
I had talked to somebody
that knew Taylor's aunt.

908
00:57:58,530 --> 00:58:00,740
The aunt gave me Taylor's mom's number.

909
00:58:03,500 --> 00:58:06,750
And her mom said,
"I've been waiting on this phone call."

910
00:58:08,790 --> 00:58:13,590
She said, "Taylor cannot have kids.
She's had a hysterectomy."

911
00:58:13,670 --> 00:58:15,010
"No, we don't have money."

912
00:58:15,090 --> 00:58:17,720
"There is no inheritance money."

913
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,600
"There is no money at all anywhere."

914
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:22,680
I called Connie.
I'm like, "I talked to her mom."

915
00:58:22,770 --> 00:58:26,440
It wasn't anything new,
that she'd always, always been a liar.

916
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:32,780
That's when I said, "Why are you
not telling Wade or somebody?"

917
00:58:32,860 --> 00:58:35,740
And that's when the granddaughter
came in play.

918
00:58:38,030 --> 00:58:41,780
She was terrified,
because if she were to tell,

919
00:58:41,870 --> 00:58:45,910
Taylor would pull that granddaughter away,

920
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,040
and she would never, ever be able
to see that little girl again.

921
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,380
She was scared to say anything.

922
00:58:56,260 --> 00:58:57,720
I had called him.

923
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,430
I said, "Wade, she is not pregnant.
She cannot have kids."

924
00:59:02,010 --> 00:59:04,020
And he said, "Stephanie, yes, she can."

925
00:59:04,100 --> 00:59:07,640
"Her mom's lying to you."
Like, "Her mom's crazy."

926
00:59:07,730 --> 00:59:10,020
Um, "She does all this stuff.
She's, like, crazy."

927
00:59:10,100 --> 00:59:11,980
I'm like, "Wade, no,
you don't understand." Like…

928
00:59:12,070 --> 00:59:15,030
"Taylor was in the hospital for this.
She had a hysterectomy."

929
00:59:15,110 --> 00:59:16,990
And he was like,
"Her mom's just telling you--"

930
00:59:17,070 --> 00:59:18,950
"There's no belly there.
She has no stomach."

931
00:59:19,030 --> 00:59:20,910
He was talking, I was talking over him.

932
00:59:20,990 --> 00:59:24,700
"Man, all this is bullshit.
This bitch is fucking you, dude."

933
00:59:24,790 --> 00:59:28,870
"She ain't got this money.
She… I mean, this is a fucking scandal."

934
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,670
And I told him, I said-- I started--
I kinda got teary-eyed, you know?

935
00:59:31,750 --> 00:59:34,210
'Cause I was one
of his closest friends, you know?

936
00:59:35,050 --> 00:59:36,880
I just-- I ain't about the drama.

937
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,590
I don't care what other folks do.
I'm-- Nah-uh.

938
00:59:40,890 --> 00:59:43,100
I kind of just washed my hands, you know.

939
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:48,770
Him and Codey kind of…
They quit speaking after that.

940
00:59:52,060 --> 00:59:52,940
I'm like…

941
00:59:54,940 --> 00:59:56,110
"Now what?"

942
01:00:01,110 --> 01:00:03,120
Look at it, trying to walk.

943
01:00:05,490 --> 01:00:07,290
Oh, my goodness.

944
01:00:09,710 --> 01:00:11,920
She's not wanting to let it suckle.

945
01:00:15,210 --> 01:00:16,500
Uh-oh.

946
01:00:28,220 --> 01:00:33,520
And my mind constantly wandered
and just raced and raced and raced with…

947
01:00:34,900 --> 01:00:36,110
"What is she gonna do?"

948
01:00:44,990 --> 01:00:47,080
We're all watching this house like hawks.

949
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,160
Like, "What-- What is gonna happen?
What is she gonna do?"

950
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:58,420
As the time went on, it got
closer and closer to her "due date,"

951
01:00:58,500 --> 01:01:00,470
and it didn't happen.

952
01:01:01,970 --> 01:01:05,720
She had a lot of factors
of why she could have missed her due date.

953
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,890
She wasn't eating right,
or it might have been not ready yet,

954
01:01:08,970 --> 01:01:13,230
or the baby might be too small,
but I didn't really know what to believe.

955
01:01:18,070 --> 01:01:22,490
We all knew that there was no way
for her to have a miscarriage anymore.

956
01:01:25,870 --> 01:01:29,790
We felt that she had
to come up with a baby somehow.

957
01:01:30,410 --> 01:01:33,790
So for the safety of the rest
of our patients and our nursery,

958
01:01:33,870 --> 01:01:37,130
we did alert the hospital
to be on higher alert,

959
01:01:37,210 --> 01:01:39,050
what was called Code Pink.

960
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:45,760
We really thought that, if anything,
she would just try to steal a baby.

961
01:01:47,470 --> 01:01:49,640
Rain, baby, rain!

962
01:01:55,770 --> 01:01:58,820
And at that point, she went ten months,

963
01:01:58,900 --> 01:02:01,610
and I thought,
"That doesn't happen either."

964
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:04,400
"Never heard of that in my life."

965
01:02:07,110 --> 01:02:08,740
I lived across from Wade,

966
01:02:08,830 --> 01:02:12,620
and I had taken pictures of her
and Wade out in the driveway.

967
01:02:12,700 --> 01:02:16,330
She didn't look pregnant
for being ten months pregnant, you know?

968
01:02:16,420 --> 01:02:21,340
I mean, it started
to become not believable.

969
01:02:22,630 --> 01:02:26,130
And that's when all
of these weird events started happening.

970
01:02:31,350 --> 01:02:33,980
I'd done taken off leave from my work,

971
01:02:34,060 --> 01:02:37,440
and she had scheduled
an appointment with Mount Pleasant.

972
01:02:38,860 --> 01:02:42,110
She wakes me up and says she smells smoke.

973
01:02:42,190 --> 01:02:44,280
So I get up and walk outside,

974
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:47,150
and the whole underside
of my house is on fire.

975
01:02:48,660 --> 01:02:53,290
So I just took my water hose,
put what fire was left burning out.

976
01:02:53,370 --> 01:02:56,580
She was gonna have the baby that day,
and I think Wade even took off work.

977
01:02:56,660 --> 01:02:58,500
So it got down to,
"I've gotta do something."

978
01:03:01,290 --> 01:03:04,710
There was no doubt in my mind that…
I mean, I knew she did that.

979
01:03:05,460 --> 01:03:07,680
I said, "I'm gonna sleep
on the couch for now."

980
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:09,590
Then whenever I got up about 7:00,

981
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,470
she said, "Hey, I know you're
probably upping to get ready to go,

982
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,520
but we can't go
to Mount Pleasant this morning."

983
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,270
"There's been a bomb threat called in."

984
01:03:17,060 --> 01:03:18,600
Mount Pleasant Police Department.

985
01:03:18,690 --> 01:03:19,980
I just received a caller,

986
01:03:20,060 --> 01:03:22,730
and he said
there is a bomb in the hospital.

987
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,940
Okay, so a male subject called
and said there was a bomb in the hospital?

988
01:03:27,030 --> 01:03:28,030
Yes, sir. He said…

989
01:03:28,110 --> 01:03:30,660
"There is no way, Taylor,
that there's a bomb threat."

990
01:03:30,740 --> 01:03:33,120
And she said, "No, look on Facebook.
It's all over Facebook."

991
01:03:34,580 --> 01:03:38,040
And she said, "They had
a bomb threat this morning."

992
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,880
There was a bomb threat. Sure was.

993
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:42,250
'Cause you called it in!

994
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:49,880
I worried about his safety.

995
01:03:49,970 --> 01:03:52,890
All I cared about was him at that point,

996
01:03:52,970 --> 01:03:55,010
and his well-being.

997
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:59,140
I said, "Do you love her?"
"Well, I care about her."

998
01:03:59,230 --> 01:04:04,020
I said, "But do you love her?"
"Well, not really. I just, you know…"

999
01:04:04,110 --> 01:04:05,980
And I said, "Then get her gone."

1000
01:04:06,070 --> 01:04:08,740
Found out later,
he really pinned her down,

1001
01:04:08,820 --> 01:04:12,160
and he really got harsh with her,
like, "Enough already."

1002
01:04:12,780 --> 01:04:15,620
I don't know
if I've ever seen her that mad before.

1003
01:04:15,700 --> 01:04:17,750
She said, "I'm tired of your family

1004
01:04:17,830 --> 01:04:21,120
not siding with us
on me having your baby."

1005
01:04:21,210 --> 01:04:24,340
"I'd be dang if they want to call me
a liar and say I'm not pregnant."

1006
01:04:24,420 --> 01:04:26,670
"I'm gonna show everybody
that I'm pregnant."

1007
01:04:27,510 --> 01:04:29,300
"I'm gonna bring a kid home."

1008
01:04:30,170 --> 01:04:31,970
Exactly what she said.

1009
01:05:17,930 --> 01:05:22,270
On that Wednesday,
Reagan and Taylor had had a girls' day.

1010
01:05:22,350 --> 01:05:25,480
They went to Starbucks apparently
and just kind of hung out.

1011
01:05:27,770 --> 01:05:30,320
And then on the 8th,

1012
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,860
Taylor had come back over
to talk with Reagan.

1013
01:05:32,950 --> 01:05:35,110
Apparently, she was just coming to visit.

1014
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:38,990
She was expecting to be going in
to be induced the next day.

1015
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:43,410
And Reagan felt like Taylor
was probably overwhelmed with everything.

1016
01:05:43,500 --> 01:05:46,380
And she was trying to be
that one person there for her

1017
01:05:46,460 --> 01:05:47,750
when nobody else was.

1018
01:05:59,060 --> 01:06:02,180
I got dressed that morning
about 3:30 or 4:00.

1019
01:06:02,270 --> 01:06:05,940
We had a pen full of hogs that I had done
gathered up or bought from other trappers.

1020
01:06:08,060 --> 01:06:12,610
The plan was we were
both supposed to go load the hogs up,

1021
01:06:12,690 --> 01:06:13,780
go drop 'em off,

1022
01:06:13,860 --> 01:06:17,280
and then we were gonna swing down
to the Idabel Hospital.

1023
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:18,820
I said, "Are you ready to leave?"

1024
01:06:18,910 --> 01:06:21,580
And she said,
"Well, I'm not feeling just too great."

1025
01:06:21,660 --> 01:06:24,580
"I think I'm gonna
let you leave with the hogs,

1026
01:06:24,660 --> 01:06:27,290
and then I'm going to meet you
at the hospital."

1027
01:06:27,370 --> 01:06:30,590
I said, "Well, that wasn't the plan.
I think we both need to go together."

1028
01:06:30,670 --> 01:06:31,500
"This is a big deal."

1029
01:06:31,590 --> 01:06:35,470
She said, "Nah, we need to get them sold.
That's too much money to turn down."

1030
01:06:35,550 --> 01:06:37,930
So I didn't argue with her no more.

1031
01:06:38,010 --> 01:06:40,930
I went and loaded the hogs up, and I left.

1032
01:06:44,350 --> 01:06:46,730
It probably took me
four and a half hours or something

1033
01:06:46,810 --> 01:06:48,690
to get up there from my house.

1034
01:06:48,770 --> 01:06:51,270
I pulled in, and he told me, he said,

1035
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:53,780
"I didn't order--
I didn't order no hogs today."

1036
01:06:53,860 --> 01:06:56,150
I said, "There's no way.
You texted me this morning."

1037
01:06:58,780 --> 01:07:00,160
He said, "I didn't text nobody."

1038
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:03,240
I said, "You didn't text me
from this number?" I pulled out my phone.

1039
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,080
He said, "That's not my number."

1040
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,710
I said, "Did you not talk
to Taylor about some hogs?"

1041
01:07:08,790 --> 01:07:10,130
He said, "Yeah, weeks ago."

1042
01:07:10,210 --> 01:07:13,090
"I quit texting her." And he said,
"I didn't follow up with nothing."

1043
01:07:13,170 --> 01:07:16,550
I said, "Well, who in the world
would've texted me from this number then?"

1044
01:07:16,630 --> 01:07:18,130
He said, "Man, I don't know."

1045
01:07:21,050 --> 01:07:22,560
I went to work.

1046
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:25,310
I was in my office, and Homer called me.

1047
01:07:25,390 --> 01:07:28,310
He said, "Miss Jessica,
have you talked to Reagan this morning?"

1048
01:07:28,390 --> 01:07:29,480
I said, "No."

1049
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:30,520
He said, "Well,

1050
01:07:31,650 --> 01:07:36,030
she's texting me, but it's…
It doesn't… It's not like her."

1051
01:07:36,110 --> 01:07:37,860
And I was like, "Well, what do you mean?"

1052
01:07:37,950 --> 01:07:41,070
He said, "Well, after she stopped texting,
I've been trying to call her,

1053
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:42,240
and she won't answer."

1054
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,040
I said, "Is she at work?"
He said, "They haven't heard from her."

1055
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:49,670
It was my day off from work.
My friend Chris had come over.

1056
01:07:49,750 --> 01:07:51,540
Uh, I mean, it just seemed
like a normal day.

1057
01:07:51,630 --> 01:07:55,300
And then Jessica called me
and said that Reagan wasn't answering.

1058
01:07:55,380 --> 01:07:58,840
I said, "Well, we're fixing to go
to town anyway. I'll head that way."

1059
01:08:00,220 --> 01:08:02,550
We were about halfway there,
and she called me back,

1060
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,890
and said our grandbaby's
not at the daycare.

1061
01:08:04,970 --> 01:08:06,520
She sounded frantic.

1062
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:08,310
So she headed to the house.

1063
01:08:09,810 --> 01:08:12,730
As I'm getting to Reagan's road
and turn onto it,

1064
01:08:12,810 --> 01:08:15,940
I see their house,
and the garage door is open.

1065
01:08:16,440 --> 01:08:18,030
Well, that worried me,

1066
01:08:18,110 --> 01:08:20,910
because they never leave
their garage door open.

1067
01:08:20,990 --> 01:08:23,370
As I get out of my car,

1068
01:08:23,450 --> 01:08:27,120
I'm walking,
and I see these little red streaks.

1069
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,710
And I thought,
"Well, the dog must have hurt its foot."

1070
01:08:29,790 --> 01:08:31,750
And so that's what I was seeing.

1071
01:08:32,750 --> 01:08:37,590
And I kind of opened the door,
and I saw a bloody footprint.

1072
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,340
And I shut the door.

1073
01:08:40,420 --> 01:08:42,510
And as I kinda stepped back,
and I thought,

1074
01:08:42,590 --> 01:08:44,890
"No, if she's in there and she's hurt

1075
01:08:44,970 --> 01:08:49,230
or, you know, she can't answer me,
I need to go in."

1076
01:08:51,100 --> 01:08:53,400
New Boston, 911. What's your emergency?

1077
01:08:56,440 --> 01:08:59,280
Ma'am. Ma'am?

1078
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:02,450
Help me. My daughter's been murdered.

1079
01:09:02,530 --> 01:09:04,570
Okay, where are you located at?

1080
01:09:04,660 --> 01:09:08,580
At… Street.

1081
01:09:08,660 --> 01:09:10,200
-In New Boston?
-Yeah.

1082
01:09:10,290 --> 01:09:11,540
What happened?

1083
01:09:11,620 --> 01:09:13,960
I don't know. Somebody got in her house.

1084
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,040
-She's dead!
-Okay.

1085
01:09:16,130 --> 01:09:18,500
She's dead!

1086
01:09:24,010 --> 01:09:26,550
No, I can't.
There's something wrong with her.

1087
01:09:27,470 --> 01:09:29,470
-What's wrong, ma'am?
-I had my baby.

1088
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,310
And I'm trying to get to Idabel Hospital
where my husband--

1089
01:09:32,390 --> 01:09:34,940
-Idabel?
-Yeah, my husband's up there.

1090
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,400
He was delivering hogs
right outside of Idabel.

1091
01:09:38,480 --> 01:09:41,360
That's why I was trying to get to him.
Can you call my husband?

1092
01:09:42,190 --> 01:09:44,740
-Yes.
-How old's the baby, ma'am?

1093
01:09:44,820 --> 01:09:48,160
The baby's only, like,
maybe 35 minutes old.

1094
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,200
I'm gonna give the phone back to her.

1095
01:09:50,910 --> 01:09:53,460
She was flying down the road.
You stopped her or what?

1096
01:09:53,540 --> 01:09:56,080
She was driving down the road,
passing on the shoulder.

1097
01:09:56,170 --> 01:09:59,130
She had her hazards on.
She ran over a bird.

1098
01:09:59,210 --> 01:10:01,050
It's still on-- uh, in the grille here.

1099
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:05,930
Did a name come back on that 27?
Her name's Taylor.

1100
01:10:06,010 --> 01:10:07,550
I don't have her last name.

1101
01:10:09,470 --> 01:10:13,180
Uh, the car is r-- registered
to Wade Griffin.

1102
01:10:13,930 --> 01:10:16,770
I think he's already
in Oklahoma, uh, working.

1103
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:19,060
So he's already…

1104
01:10:19,150 --> 01:10:20,400
She called me.

1105
01:10:20,980 --> 01:10:23,740
She said she's having the baby
on the side of the road.

1106
01:10:24,490 --> 01:10:26,910
How quick could I get to the hospital?

1107
01:10:27,490 --> 01:10:29,200
-Hello?
-Where you at?

1108
01:10:29,780 --> 01:10:33,540
I'm trying-- I'm trying
to get these, um, these hogs moved.

1109
01:10:33,620 --> 01:10:34,580
What's up?

1110
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:39,420
We're-- We're going to the hospital.
We're going to Titus.

1111
01:10:41,750 --> 01:10:44,260
All right, well,
let me finish what I'm doing.

1112
01:10:44,340 --> 01:10:45,760
I'll call you right back.

1113
01:10:46,430 --> 01:10:47,550
Okay?

1114
01:10:47,630 --> 01:10:48,840
All right. Bye.

1115
01:10:48,930 --> 01:10:50,100
I'm sorry.

1116
01:10:50,180 --> 01:10:52,100
I was like, "This has got to be a joke."

1117
01:10:52,180 --> 01:10:55,520
So you was-- you was on your way
to Idabel to have the baby?

1118
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:56,810
-Yeah.
-Okay.

1119
01:10:56,890 --> 01:10:59,310
Okay. It's all right.

1120
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:01,860
Just relax, darling.

1121
01:11:12,030 --> 01:11:14,410
Reagan! Reagan!

1122
01:11:14,500 --> 01:11:16,910
When we pull up,
Jessica's in the driveway.

1123
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:20,290
She's on her hands and knees,
and she's just screaming.

1124
01:11:20,380 --> 01:11:22,500
You-- You know something's…

1125
01:11:23,460 --> 01:11:24,760
bad, bad, wrong.

1126
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:26,470
She's hysterical.

1127
01:11:26,550 --> 01:11:30,340
I-- I-- I try to talk to her,
and she can't tell me anything.

1128
01:11:30,430 --> 01:11:31,890
She can't say anything.

1129
01:11:31,970 --> 01:11:33,310
Marcus is like, "What's wrong?"

1130
01:11:33,390 --> 01:11:37,020
And I said, "Just don't go in there.
Do not. Don't go in."

1131
01:11:38,020 --> 01:11:39,270
And, of course,

1132
01:11:40,020 --> 01:11:41,230
I gotta know.

1133
01:11:43,730 --> 01:11:45,900
Marcus opens the door,

1134
01:11:45,980 --> 01:11:50,950
and he backs up,
and I can remember his face.

1135
01:11:51,030 --> 01:11:53,830
And… it's just pure terror.

1136
01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,040
And-- And I lost it.

1137
01:12:00,670 --> 01:12:03,040
I-- I started hollering.
I don't know what I said.

1138
01:12:03,130 --> 01:12:04,130
It-- It--

1139
01:12:05,090 --> 01:12:08,220
Worst thing you can imagine.
Worst thing I've ever seen in my life.

1140
01:12:08,300 --> 01:12:09,970
I'm still on the phone with 911,

1141
01:12:10,050 --> 01:12:13,680
and we realized her daughter
was in the house.

1142
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:14,850
She's three years old.

1143
01:12:14,930 --> 01:12:16,720
So I head back to the door

1144
01:12:16,810 --> 01:12:20,020
and then started calling her name,
screaming it.

1145
01:12:20,100 --> 01:12:23,940
Uh, about the fourth or fifth time,
I heard something,

1146
01:12:25,020 --> 01:12:28,650
and-- and she finally spoke.

1147
01:12:28,740 --> 01:12:30,990
I turned around and looked at Chris.

1148
01:12:31,070 --> 01:12:33,160
I was gonna have to step over her
to get to her.

1149
01:12:33,740 --> 01:12:34,700
Uh…

1150
01:12:35,490 --> 01:12:36,990
And I knew I couldn't do it.

1151
01:12:37,740 --> 01:12:39,790
So I go back in to the kitchen area,

1152
01:12:39,870 --> 01:12:42,500
and I had to step over Reagan

1153
01:12:42,580 --> 01:12:46,460
and-- and walk through the whole… scene.

1154
01:12:46,550 --> 01:12:49,670
And I'm looking in the rooms as I go back,
and I get to the very last bedroom.

1155
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:54,220
And Reagan's daughter is sitting,
and when I walk into the room,

1156
01:12:54,300 --> 01:12:57,220
she reflexes and draws the covers up.

1157
01:12:57,890 --> 01:13:00,230
And then she notices, recognized me.

1158
01:13:00,310 --> 01:13:05,150
And she jumped up and just ran
and jumped off the bed.

1159
01:13:05,230 --> 01:13:06,320
I had to catch her.

1160
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:08,860
About that time,
the police officers pulled up.

1161
01:13:08,940 --> 01:13:11,700
I meet the first one,
and I'm like, "Listen, she's pregnant."

1162
01:13:11,780 --> 01:13:13,030
"I don't know…"

1163
01:13:13,110 --> 01:13:15,530
"I don't know if the baby survived or not,
but she's pregnant."

1164
01:13:15,620 --> 01:13:19,040
"I don't know how long this has been.
You know, just please know that."

1165
01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,330
We need to know
whether the baby's in there or not.

1166
01:13:25,170 --> 01:13:27,710
'Cause there's an awful lot
of blood everywhere.

1167
01:13:29,380 --> 01:13:32,720
The only way we can
know that is to-- is to roll her over.

1168
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:33,760
Okay.

1169
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:37,930
-There's no baby in there.
-No.

1170
01:13:38,010 --> 01:13:40,020
No. There's no baby in there.

1171
01:13:43,020 --> 01:13:44,560
So she was pregnant?

1172
01:13:44,650 --> 01:13:46,730
Yes, 36 weeks.

1173
01:13:55,990 --> 01:13:59,240
My brother called me and said,
"Hey, there's some stuff on Facebook

1174
01:13:59,330 --> 01:14:02,000
and it said that the baby
had been taken from her."

1175
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:07,580
"New Boston Expecting Mother Murdered.
Baby Cut from Womb."

1176
01:14:08,170 --> 01:14:11,670
That's how we found out
that that's what happened to her.

1177
01:14:14,010 --> 01:14:15,340
Anyway…

1178
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:18,680
She's in there.

1179
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,470
She refuses to have a vaginal check

1180
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,480
to make sure she's not hemorrhaging.

1181
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:26,190
They've done an ultrasound and HCG,

1182
01:14:26,270 --> 01:14:28,190
and it doesn't show
that she's been pregnant.

1183
01:14:28,270 --> 01:14:29,860
They have the placenta.

1184
01:14:29,940 --> 01:14:31,730
-Where is she?
-She is in the room.

1185
01:14:31,820 --> 01:14:33,360
-You're not letting her leave?
-No.

1186
01:14:33,440 --> 01:14:35,280
-Can I help you?
-This is…

1187
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,030
-This is a big deal.
-Yeah.

1188
01:14:37,110 --> 01:14:39,160
Okay, yes. Are you ready?

1189
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,830
If there's anything
you need to talk to us about, you can.

1190
01:14:43,870 --> 01:14:47,170
I don't know what everybody
wants me to talk about.

1191
01:14:47,250 --> 01:14:49,170
You gave birth to this child?

1192
01:14:50,380 --> 01:14:51,800
Yes. I--

1193
01:14:53,090 --> 01:14:54,670
We're just making sure.

1194
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,880
Did I do something wrong
for them bringing me over here?

1195
01:14:57,970 --> 01:14:59,890
What did you have? A boy or a girl?

1196
01:14:59,970 --> 01:15:01,970
-A girl.
-A girl. Okay.

1197
01:15:02,060 --> 01:15:03,220
Picked out a name yet?

1198
01:15:03,310 --> 01:15:04,470
Clancy Gaile.

1199
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,140
-Clancy Gaile.
-Clancy Gaile.

1200
01:15:07,020 --> 01:15:08,810
-Hi.
-All right.

1201
01:15:09,480 --> 01:15:10,690
Let's see.

1202
01:15:10,770 --> 01:15:12,020
So we'll jump out.

1203
01:15:12,610 --> 01:15:13,570
Sit you up.

1204
01:15:13,650 --> 01:15:15,690
All right. Well, let me have
them sit you up there

1205
01:15:15,780 --> 01:15:17,490
where I can see what I'm doing.

1206
01:15:21,780 --> 01:15:26,160
So it surely doesn't look
like a baby came out of there.

1207
01:15:27,790 --> 01:15:29,830
I didn't-- It doesn't look
like she had a baby.

1208
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:30,960
-It doesn't?
-No.

1209
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:31,960
Okay.

1210
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,920
Does not look
like she had a baby down there.

1211
01:15:35,010 --> 01:15:36,130
Get ready.

1212
01:15:42,850 --> 01:15:45,140
Hey, Taylor. So what happened?

1213
01:15:46,060 --> 01:15:47,850
Nothing happened.

1214
01:15:49,810 --> 01:15:51,190
You didn't give birth.

1215
01:15:51,690 --> 01:15:55,570
We're past all this nonsense
about "I wasn't there."

1216
01:15:55,650 --> 01:15:58,610
"I didn't kill nobody."
We're past all of that.

1217
01:15:58,700 --> 01:16:00,910
We know it. We know you did it.

1218
01:16:00,990 --> 01:16:04,700
The bottom line is these cases
are actually pretty simple.

1219
01:16:04,790 --> 01:16:06,410
Murder cases are pretty simple.

1220
01:16:06,500 --> 01:16:10,080
You have a who, what,
when, where, and why.

1221
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,840
When I got there,
I asked 'em at the front desk,

1222
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:20,090
I said, "You know
where I can find Taylor Parker at?"

1223
01:16:21,890 --> 01:16:24,220
And she just kind of looked
at me for a second

1224
01:16:24,300 --> 01:16:26,720
and then paused
and then pointed down the hall,

1225
01:16:26,810 --> 01:16:29,230
and she said,
"Right down here to the right."

1226
01:16:29,310 --> 01:16:32,480
And I walked down there
to the end of the hall and hung a right.

1227
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,860
That's whenever there was
three officers walking towards me,

1228
01:16:35,940 --> 01:16:38,490
come up to me, ask me was I Wade Griffin.

1229
01:16:38,570 --> 01:16:40,950
They said,
"We're gonna restrain you for a little bit

1230
01:16:41,030 --> 01:16:43,820
and take you in
to ask you some questions."

1231
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,950
Somebody says
that there's someone in custody

1232
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:49,830
in Idabel, Oklahoma.

1233
01:16:54,420 --> 01:16:57,630
One of our friends said,
"Hey, do you know Taylor Parker?"

1234
01:16:57,710 --> 01:17:00,300
And I'm like,
"Homer, do you know Taylor Parker?"

1235
01:17:00,380 --> 01:17:02,930
And he's like, "Yeah,
she was just at our house last night."

1236
01:17:03,010 --> 01:17:05,300
I said, "Well, they're saying
that it's her."

1237
01:17:05,390 --> 01:17:06,640
He's like, "There's no way."

1238
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,930
He said, "She was just at our house
last night. They were talking."

1239
01:17:12,270 --> 01:17:15,560
And I heard Jessica say that she was
the photographer at the wedding.

1240
01:17:18,150 --> 01:17:20,190
Sure enough, it was her.

1241
01:17:28,580 --> 01:17:29,540
Watch your toes.

1242
01:17:30,950 --> 01:17:34,540
Under no circumstance
is she to have her phone or purse.

1243
01:17:34,620 --> 01:17:36,250
-Okay. Okay.
-All right?

1244
01:17:36,330 --> 01:17:42,340
She's to be, uh… separated
from her boyfriend who's down there.

1245
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:44,300
You know the baby's dead?

1246
01:17:44,380 --> 01:17:46,140
-Yeah, I heard.
-Okay.

1247
01:17:48,310 --> 01:17:49,720
-Hey, are you Wade?
-Yes, sir.

1248
01:17:49,810 --> 01:17:51,220
Hey, man. I'm sorry you had to wait.

1249
01:17:51,310 --> 01:17:55,770
I've been non-stop phone calls
and everything else.

1250
01:17:56,900 --> 01:17:58,060
Wade, uh…

1251
01:17:59,820 --> 01:18:01,650
Taylor's in jail.

1252
01:18:01,740 --> 01:18:03,530
-In jail?
-Mm-hmm.

1253
01:18:03,610 --> 01:18:05,700
Best we can tell, um…

1254
01:18:07,070 --> 01:18:09,740
looks like she killed a woman
and cut her baby out of her.

1255
01:18:09,830 --> 01:18:12,160
And then passed it off as being hers.

1256
01:18:13,750 --> 01:18:15,790
-Do what?
-Mm-hmm.

1257
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:17,920
Yep.

1258
01:18:18,500 --> 01:18:19,750
Is the baby alive?

1259
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:22,760
No. No, it died up here.

1260
01:18:23,380 --> 01:18:27,090
Think they said they got some pulses,
but yeah, it died.

1261
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,770
I didn't really have no words
for nothing at that point.

1262
01:18:44,030 --> 01:18:46,700
Well, I can honestly say
my family was right.

1263
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:50,410
'Cause they've been calling it
the whole time, and I took up for Taylor.

1264
01:18:50,490 --> 01:18:52,950
Oh, was-- What have they been saying?
That she wasn't pregnant?

1265
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:54,370
Mm-hmm. Yep.

1266
01:19:03,380 --> 01:19:05,670
I don't even know how to explain it.

1267
01:19:07,090 --> 01:19:10,100
Just betrayal from the lies, everything.

1268
01:19:12,390 --> 01:19:16,850
I never, ever wanted anything like that
to ever happen. It was…

1269
01:19:17,480 --> 01:19:19,900
It was unimaginable, what she did.

1270
01:19:23,020 --> 01:19:26,280
I left the police station in Oklahoma
and then come home,

1271
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:29,070
and there was several state troopers
at the house.

1272
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:31,660
Do we have your consent
to search the property?

1273
01:19:46,170 --> 01:19:48,430
Tell me about the-- your house.

1274
01:19:49,260 --> 01:19:51,140
You had a nursery set up at the house?

1275
01:19:53,140 --> 01:19:57,480
Yeah, we bought a crib
and clothes and diapers.

1276
01:19:57,560 --> 01:19:59,020
Who bought all that?

1277
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:01,940
Me and Wade.

1278
01:20:06,150 --> 01:20:08,650
Okay. Was he excited
about the baby coming?

1279
01:20:09,610 --> 01:20:10,740
No.

1280
01:20:10,820 --> 01:20:11,950
Why not?

1281
01:20:13,910 --> 01:20:16,080
He's never been excited about it.

1282
01:20:21,420 --> 01:20:25,250
It was all going through my head
about everything from day one.

1283
01:20:28,050 --> 01:20:29,090
Everything…

1284
01:20:30,380 --> 01:20:31,550
was a lie.

1285
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:37,310
Very, uh, difficult story to, uh, report,
even read to you tonight.

1286
01:20:37,390 --> 01:20:40,190
A small east Texas community
is grieving the loss

1287
01:20:40,270 --> 01:20:41,560
of a New Boston mother.

1288
01:20:41,650 --> 01:20:45,270
I said, "I hope to God…
this is not Taylor."

1289
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:49,110
A female suspect was taken
into custody in Oklahoma.

1290
01:20:49,190 --> 01:20:52,860
I just froze. And I said,
"I think I know who that is."

1291
01:20:52,950 --> 01:20:56,030
"That was probably her.
Do you think that was her? Surely not."

1292
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:59,370
The pit in my stomach just fell
to the bottom as far as it could go.

1293
01:20:59,450 --> 01:21:03,330
It was just… It was just…
A-- My whole insides just sunk.

1294
01:21:03,420 --> 01:21:04,540
Right away.

1295
01:21:04,630 --> 01:21:08,130
Uh, even before the news of who it was,

1296
01:21:08,210 --> 01:21:09,920
we-- we knew who it was.

1297
01:21:10,010 --> 01:21:13,840
Agents say the suspect cut the baby
out of her mother's stomach

1298
01:21:13,930 --> 01:21:16,600
and then tried to claim
the baby as her own.

1299
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:20,230
27-year-old Taylor Parker
was stopped Friday morning

1300
01:21:20,310 --> 01:21:22,480
by Texas troopers in De Kalb.

1301
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:27,070
21-year-old Reagan Hancock
and her unborn child did not survive.

1302
01:21:27,690 --> 01:21:31,820
It was almost impossible
to believe because…

1303
01:21:33,530 --> 01:21:35,160
I had no idea

1304
01:21:35,660 --> 01:21:39,540
someone whom we all had met

1305
01:21:39,620 --> 01:21:44,790
was capable of-- of taking
my sister's life.

1306
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:59,310
It was very overwhelming
to have to try and process the unknown.

1307
01:21:59,390 --> 01:22:03,980
Father, today again I come to you
lifting the family of this young lady up,

1308
01:22:04,060 --> 01:22:05,270
and this child.

1309
01:22:06,350 --> 01:22:11,030
Father, I pray for Homer above all of 'em,
Father, for Homer's wife, Father.

1310
01:22:11,110 --> 01:22:13,070
When she went to be with you,

1311
01:22:13,150 --> 01:22:15,740
a part of him died this day, Father.

1312
01:22:15,820 --> 01:22:17,530
My heart broke

1313
01:22:17,620 --> 01:22:21,410
for… me and my family but also for Homer.

1314
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:30,460
I lost a sister,
but he lost his forever person.

1315
01:22:38,090 --> 01:22:40,970
You know, all the questions
you can ask yourself

1316
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:46,390
when someone is killed is, "Why?"

1317
01:22:58,700 --> 01:23:01,530
Everybody around here knew
that she's the one that done it.

1318
01:23:01,620 --> 01:23:03,450
There was no doubt in that.

1319
01:23:03,540 --> 01:23:05,790
In my opinion,
the trial wasn't for guilt or innocence,

1320
01:23:05,870 --> 01:23:07,170
it was for death penalty or not.

1321
01:23:07,250 --> 01:23:11,250
Today was all about the lies
prosecutors say Taylor Parker told.

1322
01:23:11,340 --> 01:23:13,670
Today in court,
Taylor's first husband confirmed

1323
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:16,670
that she used to practice
other people's handwriting and signatures.

1324
01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:19,050
Today the jurors heard
how Taylor Parker went

1325
01:23:19,140 --> 01:23:21,810
to different doctors,
trying to get one to diagnose her

1326
01:23:21,890 --> 01:23:24,020
with the illnesses
she was claiming to have.

1327
01:23:24,100 --> 01:23:27,060
…argued that Taylor Parker
is a liar and a master manipulator…

1328
01:23:27,140 --> 01:23:29,440
A real estate agent
said she tried to pull off

1329
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:31,440
a $20 million real estate deal.

1330
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:35,240
We didn't know until after the murder

1331
01:23:35,820 --> 01:23:40,570
that all of the people
that we were trying to make contact with

1332
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:42,280
didn't exist.

1333
01:23:42,370 --> 01:23:45,160
"Shelly Linx with Shell Oil."

1334
01:23:45,250 --> 01:23:47,660
"Blake Lawington, that's my lawyer."

1335
01:23:47,750 --> 01:23:48,960
"Uncle Butch."

1336
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:54,170
Everybody's just profiled in there
way too conveniently.

1337
01:23:54,250 --> 01:23:56,170
Hey, Taylor, I was giving you a call.

1338
01:23:56,260 --> 01:23:59,590
Got a voicemail from Angela
that said that apparently…

1339
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:05,180
From multiple phones
to voice-altering apparatus.

1340
01:24:05,270 --> 01:24:07,060
We just couldn't believe
what we were hearing.

1341
01:24:07,140 --> 01:24:11,350
The multiple phones
that she would text herself from,

1342
01:24:11,440 --> 01:24:13,980
the names she would use, the people,

1343
01:24:14,070 --> 01:24:15,820
just all of the lies.

1344
01:24:15,900 --> 01:24:18,400
I still can't understand

1345
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,030
how someone would think
that this was gonna work.

1346
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:26,540
The defense called
Parker's mother Shona Prior to the stand,

1347
01:24:26,620 --> 01:24:28,830
and she testified
for a little over an hour.

1348
01:24:33,750 --> 01:24:35,670
Everything got revealed.

1349
01:24:35,750 --> 01:24:37,840
Pardon my language, like, "What the fuck?"

1350
01:24:38,380 --> 01:24:41,630
Like, how can one person keep up
with that many lies?

1351
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:43,970
I would have to carry around
a three-ring binder.

1352
01:24:44,050 --> 01:24:47,640
Everything was a lie.
Everything was a lie.

1353
01:24:50,230 --> 01:24:51,900
I remember

1354
01:24:53,230 --> 01:24:56,360
pushing her off me.

1355
01:24:58,190 --> 01:25:01,860
And she grabbed my hair and hit me.

1356
01:25:01,950 --> 01:25:06,200
And she said,
"You need to wake up. You are lying."

1357
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:09,950
Videos of her police interviews
were shown to the court Wednesday,

1358
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,920
and the investigator who conducted
those interviews testified

1359
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:15,500
that Parker told wildly different stories.

1360
01:25:15,590 --> 01:25:17,090
-I did not do that!
-Okay.

1361
01:25:17,170 --> 01:25:19,010
I would admit to something that I did do.

1362
01:25:19,090 --> 01:25:20,720
Okay. Well, I'm just telling you,

1363
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,130
the evidence is there,
it's linked back to you.

1364
01:25:23,220 --> 01:25:24,220
What the fuck?!

1365
01:25:24,300 --> 01:25:26,510
I'm trying to understand
why you did it that day.

1366
01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:29,850
I don't wanna talk about this anymore.
I really don't.

1367
01:25:29,930 --> 01:25:31,810
-I understand.
-I don't know. I don't…

1368
01:25:31,890 --> 01:25:34,100
This is-- This is difficult.

1369
01:25:34,190 --> 01:25:36,480
I don't want to talk about this anymore.

1370
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:41,070
All she did was lay there
and talk to me when I cut her.

1371
01:25:41,150 --> 01:25:43,030
-When you cut her?
-Yes.

1372
01:25:43,110 --> 01:25:44,950
And what did she talk about?

1373
01:25:45,030 --> 01:25:47,660
She just said to take…
She was screaming, "Take her out!"

1374
01:25:47,740 --> 01:25:48,660
What does that mean?

1375
01:25:49,410 --> 01:25:50,830
Take the baby out. Take her out.

1376
01:25:50,910 --> 01:25:53,330
-"Take her out."
-She was screaming at me to take her out.

1377
01:25:53,410 --> 01:25:56,500
-"Her" being the baby.
-She was like, "I'm finished. I'm dying."

1378
01:25:56,580 --> 01:25:58,880
-Okay.
-She was talking to me.

1379
01:25:58,960 --> 01:25:59,800
All right.

1380
01:25:59,880 --> 01:26:03,380
But y'all can paint
whatever picture you want.

1381
01:26:03,470 --> 01:26:05,130
You can't tell me this woman said,

1382
01:26:05,220 --> 01:26:09,430
"Take my baby and leave,"
and expect me to believe that.

1383
01:26:09,510 --> 01:26:13,640
I was certified as the expert
in OB-GYN for the trial,

1384
01:26:13,730 --> 01:26:18,400
and, uh, even I kind of broke down
on the-- on the stand

1385
01:26:18,480 --> 01:26:20,110
because of how she did it.

1386
01:26:20,690 --> 01:26:24,860
She actually cut behind the uterus
to cut the baby out.

1387
01:26:24,950 --> 01:26:28,950
She flipped the uterus entirely forward
after cutting into the patient's belly.

1388
01:26:31,870 --> 01:26:33,910
It had to be extremely painful.

1389
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,290
I would not know
how anybody could ever do that.

1390
01:26:37,380 --> 01:26:39,590
You got Wade out of town.

1391
01:26:40,500 --> 01:26:42,840
You made sure Reagan was at home.

1392
01:26:43,670 --> 01:26:47,390
You went to her house
with a diaper bag and a scalpel.

1393
01:26:47,930 --> 01:26:50,310
You got your baby, Wade believed you,

1394
01:26:50,390 --> 01:26:52,020
you proved all these people wrong

1395
01:26:52,100 --> 01:26:55,270
that said you were lying
for the last ten months.

1396
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,400
And you had your "aha" moment…

1397
01:27:01,440 --> 01:27:03,070
at the expense of that.

1398
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:12,410
Can I please go to the bathroom?

1399
01:27:16,250 --> 01:27:19,380
Convicted killer Taylor Parker
entered the courtroom today

1400
01:27:19,460 --> 01:27:22,590
with her fate in the hands
of a Bowie County jury.

1401
01:27:31,890 --> 01:27:35,020
When court was over,
Parker was sentenced to death row

1402
01:27:35,100 --> 01:27:37,640
for the brutal deaths of Reagan Hancock

1403
01:27:37,730 --> 01:27:41,060
and removing
Hancock's unborn child, Braxlynn.

1404
01:27:41,730 --> 01:27:46,940
The last order given by Judge Tidwell
was "Take her to death row."

1405
01:27:48,650 --> 01:27:52,030
A heavy, heavy burden feels lifted.

1406
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:54,740
I feel like now we can start
trying to heal.

1407
01:27:55,330 --> 01:27:58,410
I'm just… I'm overwhelmed
with happiness it's over.

1408
01:27:58,500 --> 01:28:04,920
Because she has been such a burden
in our life for so long now

1409
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:08,260
that I haven't been able
to really think about my sister

1410
01:28:08,340 --> 01:28:11,010
without thinking about her.

1411
01:28:11,090 --> 01:28:15,390
Taylor Parker becomes
the seventh woman on death row in Texas.

1412
01:28:15,470 --> 01:28:18,020
Parker is still being processed
at the state prison in Gatesville

1413
01:28:18,100 --> 01:28:20,100
before she is sent
to the Mountain View Unit

1414
01:28:20,190 --> 01:28:23,400
to join six other women
awaiting execution.

1415
01:28:27,740 --> 01:28:31,240
The whole point behind it all,
I really don't know, but…

1416
01:28:31,860 --> 01:28:34,280
I guess she was hoping
one day I'd finally…

1417
01:28:34,370 --> 01:28:36,870
I'd finally tell her, you know,

1418
01:28:37,750 --> 01:28:40,290
that I loved her,
but I never-- I never did.

1419
01:28:45,130 --> 01:28:48,300
Come on, come on, come on. Come on.

1420
01:28:50,470 --> 01:28:52,140
I watched him cry…

1421
01:28:53,340 --> 01:28:54,640
and cry.

1422
01:28:57,350 --> 01:29:01,350
I love him dearly,
but I really wish he had listened to me.

1423
01:29:03,440 --> 01:29:06,020
People were so angry at what had happened,

1424
01:29:06,110 --> 01:29:07,940
and I didn't blame 'em.

1425
01:29:08,440 --> 01:29:09,650
They avoid him.

1426
01:29:09,740 --> 01:29:13,570
They-- They turn and walk the other way,
and it's hard.

1427
01:29:13,660 --> 01:29:15,450
It's everywhere he goes.

1428
01:29:15,530 --> 01:29:18,660
It never goes away, never will.

1429
01:29:21,910 --> 01:29:23,250
After all that happened,

1430
01:29:23,330 --> 01:29:26,460
I went over there,
and right when we'd seen each other, we…

1431
01:29:34,590 --> 01:29:37,220
He… He said,
"Man, I should have believed you."

1432
01:29:37,310 --> 01:29:39,470
And I said,
"Shit, that's beside the point."

1433
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:41,730
"We ain't worried about that now."
You know?

1434
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:46,400
I think everybody that was intimately
involved with that situation feels

1435
01:29:47,270 --> 01:29:49,440
some guilt that will never go away.

1436
01:29:49,940 --> 01:29:53,320
I wouldn't be able to look
at her mother in the face.

1437
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:55,740
The shame wouldn't let me.
I'd be shameful to do that.

1438
01:29:55,820 --> 01:29:57,030
I couldn't do it.

1439
01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:01,290
The people around
that has been involved in this,

1440
01:30:01,370 --> 01:30:04,210
we kind of want to avoid each other.

1441
01:30:05,580 --> 01:30:08,210
Because you don't want
to relive that memory.

1442
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:10,670
But it's there, and it's…

1443
01:30:11,510 --> 01:30:12,920
It never goes away.

1444
01:30:20,180 --> 01:30:26,100
It is so hard to put into words
what losing a child is like.

1445
01:30:27,020 --> 01:30:29,770
You know, as a mother, that's-- Sh--

1446
01:30:29,860 --> 01:30:33,240
A-- A child is physically
part of you, physically.

1447
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:37,160
You know, not just emotionally,
not just this little thing you raised.

1448
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:39,160
They grew inside of you.

1449
01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:43,790
And, um, oh, man, the day she died…

1450
01:30:44,620 --> 01:30:46,830
I've never felt anything like that.

1451
01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:47,920
Um…

1452
01:30:50,340 --> 01:30:52,260
It was-- It--

1453
01:30:52,340 --> 01:30:55,510
Half of me died. Half of me died.

1454
01:30:56,220 --> 01:30:58,140
And, uh, it's not coming back.

1455
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:02,680
The Jessica that I used to be… …is gone,

1456
01:31:02,770 --> 01:31:06,350
and the part that's left is a part
that I never knew was there.

1457
01:31:06,850 --> 01:31:12,150
You know, when I found her
in the days and weeks after that,

1458
01:31:12,230 --> 01:31:18,740
it was like I had to tell myself,
"Yes, she was real. Yes, she was here."

1459
01:31:18,820 --> 01:31:19,780
You know?

1460
01:31:20,410 --> 01:31:22,580
It wasn't my imagination.

1461
01:31:38,550 --> 01:31:41,050
Me and my husband got married on…

1462
01:31:41,140 --> 01:31:43,640
…her wedding day, and…

1463
01:31:44,850 --> 01:31:47,020
I was scared to hire a photographer.

1464
01:31:49,650 --> 01:31:53,020
When everything first happened in 2020,

1465
01:31:53,860 --> 01:31:55,570
I prayed she'd go to hell.

1466
01:31:56,530 --> 01:31:57,400
I really did.

1467
01:31:57,490 --> 01:32:00,530
That's what I wanted,
and I was strong believe on that.

1468
01:32:00,620 --> 01:32:03,410
And a preacher told me…

1469
01:32:05,370 --> 01:32:07,080
"Everyone can be forgiven."

1470
01:32:08,540 --> 01:32:10,330
"Just not by us."

1471
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:14,550
Her just answering to God
is all I'm asking at this point.

1472
01:32:15,550 --> 01:32:19,510
If she does ask God for forgiveness,

1473
01:32:19,590 --> 01:32:21,550
I pray that she means it.

1474
01:32:24,060 --> 01:32:28,100
Because… for a demon like her,

1475
01:32:29,310 --> 01:32:30,940
a demon like Taylor,

1476
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:34,020
hell would be easy.
