Taylor Parker Insists She’s a ‘Good Person’ in Interrogation Video After Murder and Fetal Abduction
Taylor Parker insisted she’s “a good person” when she was interrogated for killing pregnant friend Reagan Simmons-Hancock and stealing her unborn daughter.
In interrogation footage obtained by TMZ on Monday, June 29, Parker, 33, cried and told police officers that she will “never understand” what happened.
Parker – who falsely claimed she was pregnant at the time of the killing – walked investigators through the night of Simmons-Hancock’s murder and claimed her friend knew she wasn’t actually pregnant. Parker then claimed that Simmons-Hancock, 21, told her she needed to get out of the lie and even tried to come up with ways to make sure her boyfriend, Wade Griffin, didn’t catch her in the lie.
She went on to claim that they were brainstorming at the victim’s home when Simmons-Hancock allegedly offered to fake a call to tell Parker she’d had a miscarriage.

Netflix’s June 2026 documentary Maternal Instinct has reignited public interest in one of the most disturbing crimes in recent Texas history: the 2020 killing of pregnant 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock by her friend Taylor Parker, who cut the victim’s unborn baby from her womb and tried to pass the child off as her own. Now, viewers […]Parker appeared emotional throughout the video and cried while sharing her version of events.
The interrogation took place on the same day of Simmons-Hancock’s murder on October 9, 2020, which was weeks after Parker’s alleged due date.
Investigators learned that Parker fatally stabbed Simmons-Hancock and performed a C-section on the victim before she fled the scene with her baby, Braxlynn Sage Hancock. Parker then called 911 to claim that she had given birth to the child on the side of the road.
During the 911 call, Parker frantically claimed she was in labor and said that a trooper had pulled her over after she was driving erratically.
She was then taken to the hospital, where doctors quickly determined that she had not given birth. She was then linked to Simmons-Hancock’s murder and immediately started being questioned by officers.
The case went to trial in 2022 and Parker was ultimately found guilty of capital murder and kidnapping. She was sentenced to death and is currently the youngest woman in Texas on death row as she awaits her execution.

Wade Griffin’s love story took a terrifying turn when his new girlfriend, Taylor Parker, revealed she was pregnant after just a few months of dating. Their whirlwind romance initially seemed picture-perfect, but questions began to swirl as more time passed. It turned out that Griffin’s loved ones had a right to worry, as she was […]While Parker was convicted nearly four years ago, her crimes recently made headlines after the case was featured in Netflix’s June documentary Maternal Instinct.
While several people involved in the case appeared in the documentary, Parker was intentionally not included to share her side of the story.
“We decided not to interview Taylor,” filmmaker Jessica Dimmock told Oxygen in a June 18 interview. “Obviously, Reagan and her family are the most severe and the biggest victims in this, but [there are] other people that she deceived, other people that she hurt along the way, coworkers, former friends.”

U.S. consumer confidence rises as gas prices fall, but economic outlook remains gloomy
WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans' attitudes toward the economy improved slightly this month as gas prices declined, but their outlook is still mostly negative by historical standards.
The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose 0.6 point to 91.2 in June, a figure that is still below its year-ago reading of 95.2. Consumer attitudes worsened after the Iran war caused oil and gas prices to spike, accelerating inflation and causing Americans' inflation-adjusted incomes to decline. Before the pandemic, the index regularly topped 120.
The report suggests that consumer confidence is recovering only slowly from the hit caused by the Iran war. Even so, Americans have continued to spend despite their dour outlook, which has kept the economy growing even as inflation accelerated. Measures of consumer sentiment have been less predictive of how Americans actually shop since the pandemic.
"Consumer confidence inched up in June as falling oil prices in recent weeks provided some relief to consumer inflation fears," Dana Peterson, the Conference Board's chief economists said in a statement. "Consumer appraisals of current business conditions were slightly more positive compared to last month. However, perceptions of the current labor market softened measurably."
Earlier this month, a government report showed that consumers stepped up their spending in May despite higher gas prices. Analysts expect the steady consumer outlays kept the economy growing at about a 2.5% annual rate in the April-June quarter.
Falling gas prices may also help boost Americans' outlook in the coming months. On average nationwide, gas prices spiked above $4.50 after the U.S.-Iran conflict began Feb. 28. They have since fallen back to $3.85 a gallon, according to AAA.
The survey also found that consumers had a dimmer view of hiring and the job market this month. The proportion of Americans who said jobs are "hard to get" rose to 22.5% from 19.8% the previous month, a noticeable increase.
But on Wednesday the government released a report showing that the number of open jobs remained at a solid 7.6 million in May, indicating that companies are showing more interest in recruiting workers.
The Labor Department will release its monthly jobs report for June on Thursday, and economists forecast it will show that employers added 100,000 jobs, a solid gain. The unemployment rate is expected to stay at a low 4.3%, according to data provider FactSet.

Future Hall of Famer ‘Seriously Contemplating Coming Out of Retirement’ for Los Angeles Rams
Story by
Andrew Buller-RussTue, June 30, 2026 at 7:05 PM UTC·1 min readLast year, the Los Angeles Rams had one of the NFL’s best teams, reaching as far as the NFC Conference Championship, but it wasn’t enough. Rams general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay know what a championship-caliber team looks like, and they didn’t think the Rams were there right now. So, they reacted by making the blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett.
By adding the Defensive Player of the Year onto a team that already featured the NFL’s reigning MVP, some might say the Rams have assembled a bit of a super team, and now others want to join in.

Almost from the moment the Rams made the move for Garrett, rumors about Aaron Donald coming out of retirement surfaced. Interestingly enough, neither Donald nor the Rams have done anything to squash those rumors. If anything, they’ve only poured more fuel on the fire. Now that flame is growing again.
Recently, Vincent Bonsignore of the New York Post reported that the retired 35-year-old defensive tackle is “seriously contemplating” coming out of retirement to join the Rams in 2026.
The eight-time first-team All-Pro defender hasn’t played a snap since the end of the 2023 season, when he earned his 10th trip to the Pro Bowl. It’s an incredible feat, considering he only played 10 seasons in the NFL.
