‘Maternal Instinct’: Psychotherapist Analyzes Taylor Parker’s Dark Mind

WHAT IS WRONG WITH TAYLOR PARKER? We’re examining the mind behind the shocking crimes unraveled in Netflix’s ‘Maternal Instinct’ and asking the question: what led Taylor Parker to commit these horrific acts of violence?  What were the warning signs in her behavior and mental state… and could she have been stopped? Taylor Parker was convicted of murdering her friend, Reagan Simmons-Hancock. She cut her unborn baby from her womb, and attempted to pass the child off as her own after faking a pregnancy for months. Her web of lies and deception led to two tragic deaths - Reagan, and her baby, Braxlynn Sage Hancock. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, Anne Emerson sits down with psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott to explore the psychology behind this disturbing true crime case. We break down Taylor Parker’s psyche, how years of deception escalated into murder, and how she managed to manipulate those closest to her until it was too late.  Scott says Parker’s behavior points to a personality disorder, not a mental illness, and explains why that distinction matters. If you’re still reeling over the Netflix documentary, you’re going to want to hear this.
