00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:18,327
- [trooper] What's wrong, ma'am?
- I had my baby.

21
00:01:18,328 --> 00:01:21,163
And I'm trying to get to I-Idabel Hospital
where my husband--

22
00:01:21,164 --> 00:01:24,374
- [trooper] Idabel?
- Yeah, my husband's up there.

00:01:24,375 --> 00:01:26,877
[trooper] Need LifeNet out,
uh, to my location.

Lady in this vehicle
who appeared to just have a baby.

00:01:30,006 --> 00:01:33,259
She was carrying the baby in her lap.
Umbilical cord is still attached.

26
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:35,804
She's not breathing.

27
00:01:37,013 --> 00:01:40,057
[trooper] The baby's not breathing.
She's doing CPR on the baby right now.

28
00:01:40,058 --> 00:01:43,227
Can you just put me in your car
and drive us so we're not sitting?

29
00:01:43,228 --> 00:01:44,603
Please, I'm begging you.

30
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:47,231
[trooper] There's nothing I can do.
You're gonna need EMS.

31
00:01:47,232 --> 00:01:50,943
I'm fine, if you'll just get us there
as quick as possible.

32
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:53,403
[trooper] Thank you.
Uh, LifeNet's already on scene.

33
00:01:53,404 --> 00:01:56,198
- [medic 1] You just gave birth?
- [medic 2] Turn around and sit down.

34
00:01:56,199 --> 00:01:57,491
[Taylor] Okay.

35
00:01:57,492 --> 00:01:59,159
[medic 1] How old you say you was?

36
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,786
- [Taylor] 27.
- [medic 1] 27?

37
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:03,456
- [Taylor] I think I was born in '92.
- [medic 1] Okay.

38
00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:07,960
So you was-- You was on your way
to Idabel to-- to have the baby?

39
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:09,586
- [woman] Yeah.
- [medic 1] Okay.

40
00:02:09,587 --> 00:02:11,421
- [people chatter]
- [medic 1] Okay.

41
00:02:11,422 --> 00:02:13,298

[cop 1 whispers] Do not let her
out that door.

44
00:02:25,311 --> 00:02:28,523
- I'm gonna need--
- Getting real, real jumpy in there.

45
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:31,150
[cop 1] So she shows no signs…

46
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:33,862
You won't-- You can't check
for hemorrhaging?

47
00:02:34,737 --> 00:02:36,906
She should be hemorrhaging by now.

48
00:02:37,574 --> 00:02:38,699
She's in there.

49
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:43,704
She refuses to have a vaginal check
to make sure she's not hemorrhaging.

50
00:02:43,705 --> 00:02:46,331
They've done ultrasound and HCG,

51
00:02:46,332 --> 00:02:48,292
and it doesn't show
that she's been pregnant.

52
00:02:48,293 --> 00:02:49,668
They have the placenta.

53
00:02:49,669 --> 00:02:51,879
- Where is she?
- [cop 1] She is in the room.

54
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,423
- You're not letting her leave?
- No.

55
00:02:54,132 --> 00:02:56,175
- [masked nurse] Can I help you?
- [cop 1] This is…

56
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:57,926
- This is a big deal.
- [cop 1] Yeah.

57
00:02:57,927 --> 00:02:59,636
[masked nurse] Okay, yes. Are you ready?

58
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:01,847
[eerie music plays]

59
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:02,974
[man] Hey, there.

60
00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:05,058
What's your name?

61
00:03:05,059 --> 00:03:06,310
Taylor Parker.

62
00:03:06,311 --> 00:03:08,938
Taylor. Hey.
My name is Chad Dansby. I'm a…

63
00:03:09,731 --> 00:03:13,317
I'm an OSBI agent up here,
and I heard you brought your baby in.

64
00:03:13,318 --> 00:03:14,402
Yes, sir.

65
00:03:17,405 --> 00:03:19,781
Did you give birth
on the side of the road or something?

66
00:03:19,782 --> 00:03:21,784
- Yes, sir.
- Oh, okay.

67
00:03:22,368 --> 00:03:25,120
Where was that? Here? In McCurtain County?

68
00:03:25,121 --> 00:03:27,623
No, it was in De Kalb.

69
00:03:27,624 --> 00:03:29,249
De Kalb. Down in Texas?

70
00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:30,626
- Yes, sir.
- Oh, okay.

71
00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:34,255
[voice breaking] Did I do something wrong
for them bringing me over here?

72
00:03:34,756 --> 00:03:37,217
So you-- you gave birth to this child?

73
00:03:38,635 --> 00:03:39,761
Yes. I--

74
00:03:40,511 --> 00:03:42,847
[cop 1] We're--
We're just making sure, okay?

75
00:03:43,765 --> 00:03:47,268
If there's anything you need
to talk to us about, you can.

76
00:03:48,311 --> 00:03:51,231
I don't know what everybody
wants me to talk about.

77
00:03:51,814 --> 00:03:54,067
I'm just trying to figure out
where this baby came from.

78
00:03:55,693 --> 00:03:58,570
I just told y'all what happened.

79
00:03:58,571 --> 00:03:59,489
Okay.

80
00:04:00,156 --> 00:04:03,283
What's the doctor gonna find
when he comes in and checks you?

81
00:04:03,284 --> 00:04:05,203
Is he gonna find you just gave birth?

82
00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:07,996
- I--
- They can tell.

83
00:04:07,997 --> 00:04:09,915
When he looks, he can tell
in about a second

84
00:04:09,916 --> 00:04:11,583
if you gave birth or not.

85
00:04:11,584 --> 00:04:13,336
O-- Okay.

86
00:04:14,295 --> 00:04:15,213
Yeah.

87
00:04:16,881 --> 00:04:19,384
So is he gonna find
that you gave birth this morning?

88
00:04:20,343 --> 00:04:22,428
- Yes.
- Okay.

89
00:04:23,012 --> 00:04:25,639
- Let's see.
- [Chad] So we'll jump out.

90
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,015
[doctor] Sit you up.

91
00:04:27,016 --> 00:04:29,226
All right, well, let me have
them sit you up there

92
00:04:29,227 --> 00:04:31,062
where I can see what I'm doing.

93
00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:34,815
I didn't-- It doesn't look
like she had a baby.

94
00:04:34,816 --> 00:04:35,941
- [cop 1] It doesn't?
- No.

95
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:36,984
[cop 1] Okay.

96
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,861
Does not look
like she had a baby down there.

97
00:04:39,862 --> 00:04:40,779
[cop 2] Get ready.

98
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:42,407
[Chad] Where'd this baby come from?

99
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:45,158
It's mine!

100
00:04:45,159 --> 00:04:46,244
Can't be.

101
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:47,996
Can't be.

102
00:04:48,997 --> 00:04:50,999

[sprawling, forlorn music plays]

[woman] Coming from a small town,
you can trust easy.

108
00:05:54,812 --> 00:05:56,606
And, um…

109
00:05:57,607 --> 00:06:01,944
And I guess that's
kind of the direction it went.

110
00:06:03,446 --> 00:06:05,322
[man 1] From my perspective,

111
00:06:05,323 --> 00:06:08,076
{\an8}there's way more good people
than there are bad.

112
00:06:08,951 --> 00:06:10,995
But there's evil in our land.

113
00:06:11,871 --> 00:06:14,290
Evil people do evil things.

114
00:06:16,667 --> 00:06:19,127
[man 2] Come on, come on, come on.

115
00:06:19,128 --> 00:06:23,591
[man 1] There is an inner spirit
that tries to protect us.

116
00:06:24,967 --> 00:06:27,511
A really, really subtle voice.

117
00:06:27,512 --> 00:06:30,597
And we don't have enough sense
to listen to it sometimes.

118
00:06:30,598 --> 00:06:31,891
Most of the time, actually.

119
00:06:34,352 --> 00:06:37,939
[woman 2] It's still very raw
to all of us.

120
00:06:38,606 --> 00:06:41,691
We still are just kind of like,
"I can't believe this happened."

121
00:06:41,692 --> 00:06:45,029
Like, "Why didn't we listen
to the people that told us?"

122
00:06:45,696 --> 00:06:48,324
{\an8}"I still can't believe it."

123
00:06:53,663 --> 00:06:55,331
[interviewer] Who is Taylor?

124
00:06:56,958 --> 00:06:59,293
Taylor is…

125
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,297
hard to describe.

126
00:07:04,298 --> 00:07:05,590
[tense music plays]

127
00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:08,343
I think that it's hard to describe Taylor

128
00:07:08,344 --> 00:07:14,684
because there's so many aspects to her
and all her personalities.

129
00:07:15,685 --> 00:07:20,564
The Taylor that I knew was,
at one time, a good friend.

130
00:07:20,565 --> 00:07:23,985
She made you feel
like the best person on the planet.

131
00:07:24,902 --> 00:07:26,695
She came off as a normal country girl.

132
00:07:26,696 --> 00:07:29,281
She came off as a--
She was fresh from the country.

133
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:30,574
I mean, like a country hick.

134
00:07:30,575 --> 00:07:34,537
And with her looks, a lot of people
would kind of flirt with her about it.

135
00:07:35,037 --> 00:07:38,373
She loved attention. Loves attention.

136
00:07:38,374 --> 00:07:39,374
[chimes]

137
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:41,793
Her whole mission in life

138
00:07:41,794 --> 00:07:44,671
was to be the pretty girl
that caught the eye of a guy.

139
00:07:44,672 --> 00:07:47,508
{\an8}And then she met Wade.

140
00:07:56,559 --> 00:07:59,227
Is it hot in here to y'all,
or is it just me?

141
00:07:59,228 --> 00:08:01,688
[interviewer] It's--
It's mostly you, probably.

142
00:08:01,689 --> 00:08:03,732
{\an8}[chuckles]

143

{\an8}[announcer] <i>…two, three,
let's cut 'em loose!</i>

144
00:08:06,777 --> 00:08:09,321
[gentle folk music plays]

145
00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:12,199
[Wade] It all kind of started
in the summer of 2019.

146
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,452
[announcer] <i>Make some noise,
encourage 'em. Come on!</i>

147
00:08:15,453 --> 00:08:17,413
[Wade] I remember
that time that I met Taylor.

148
00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:22,209
She'd seen me at the rodeo
and then wanted to know if I was single

149
00:08:22,210 --> 00:08:23,878
and wanted to hang out sometime.

150
00:08:24,462 --> 00:08:26,087
She was a pretty girl, you know,

151
00:08:26,088 --> 00:08:29,257
just kind of lit up the room
when she walked in,

152
00:08:29,258 --> 00:08:31,009
smiling from ear to ear.

153
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:34,679
I was like, well, it wouldn't hurt nothing
to go out to eat or something with her

154
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:36,640
and, you know, see
what kind of person she is.

155
00:08:36,641 --> 00:08:39,101
And it just kind of went from there.

156
00:08:39,644 --> 00:08:43,980
{\an8}She comes to work,
and she is just, I mean, just smitten

157
00:08:43,981 --> 00:08:46,942
{\an8}and tickled pink, and was talking
about how much she likes this guy.

158
00:08:46,943 --> 00:08:50,654
He was just a good old country boy
that was laid back.

159
00:08:50,655 --> 00:08:52,155
He was a hard worker.

160
00:08:52,156 --> 00:08:55,158
He seemed just, you know, a good catch
that had never been married,

161
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:56,827
no past baggage.

162
00:08:57,620 --> 00:09:00,205
[Connie] She just kind of came
out of nowhere, you know?

163
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:02,832
{\an8}But she was pretty crazy about him,

164
00:09:02,833 --> 00:09:05,418
{\an8}and it was important to her
to make him happy.

165
00:09:05,419 --> 00:09:09,381
And I could see why Wade
would be attracted to her.

166
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:11,132
[Taylor laughs]

167
00:09:11,133 --> 00:09:12,759
Damn it, Wade!

168
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,347
[mock gasps] I'm making a video
of you being abusive! [laughs]

169
00:09:17,223 --> 00:09:20,684
[Wade] You know, most girls,
they don't really like the country life,

170
00:09:20,685 --> 00:09:23,020
but she was different
about that kind of stuff.

171
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,068
She'd been around the horses, cows,
all the farm stuff, driving tractor.

172
00:09:30,027 --> 00:09:32,280
I was a country guy.
She was a country girl.

173
00:09:33,698 --> 00:09:35,366
That's what she was attracted to.

174
00:09:37,118 --> 00:09:39,077
[Wade] Oh, man! Oh, he let it go!

175
00:09:39,078 --> 00:09:40,788
- Get it, Frank!
- [dogs bark]

176
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:43,665
[Roger] Seemed like they were
doing things together.

177
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:46,460
{\an8}She'd go hog hunting with him.
She'd help him catch hogs.

178
00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:51,089
[Connie] She was right there,
shoulder to shoulder.

179
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:54,844
He seemed like he was happy,
and people liked her.

180
00:09:55,344 --> 00:09:57,053
{\an8}Man, I thought she was fantastic.

181
00:09:57,054 --> 00:10:00,473
She was somebody that you'd want
to hang around with,

182
00:10:00,474 --> 00:10:02,225
you know, you could kick it off with.

183
00:10:02,226 --> 00:10:03,685
[snaps] Quick like, you know?

184
00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:06,479
[Stephanie] She actually came
right up to me and gave me a hug.

185
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,151
{\an8}She was so glad to meet me.
She loved our family.

186
00:10:10,735 --> 00:10:12,611
[Codey] My wife loved her, you know?

187
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:15,196
"Wade, you done found--"
You know? "A good one right here."

188
00:10:15,197 --> 00:10:16,907
"This one, you need to marry her."

189
00:10:22,496 --> 00:10:27,417
[Angela] Wade was working with my husband,
and they were right around the corner.

190
00:10:27,418 --> 00:10:31,254
{\an8}A lot of times, weekly,
we would have-- have 'em come over,

191
00:10:31,255 --> 00:10:32,882
and we'd grill steaks out.

192
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:37,887
When I first met Taylor,
she was working for a hiring agency.

193
00:10:38,512 --> 00:10:42,057
But she told me her family
had lots of money.

194
00:10:42,058 --> 00:10:46,437
I was told she had
a-- a grandma and grandpa

195
00:10:47,104 --> 00:10:49,439
that lived down at-- around Bassett.

196
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,650
[droning folk music plays]

197
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:53,985
They're the one that holds all the money

198
00:10:53,986 --> 00:10:56,238
of all the oil wells
in the Sulphur River Bottoms.

199
00:10:57,239 --> 00:10:58,991
I mean, it was a lot of money.

200
00:10:59,867 --> 00:11:03,870
I was like, "Gosh, Wade, if she's got all
this kind of money and stuff, you know?"

201
00:11:03,871 --> 00:11:07,582
"And, man, she's got a good personality,
you know, she likes to hang out."

202
00:11:07,583 --> 00:11:09,710
"That's what you've always
been looking for." You know?

203
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:13,296
[Wade] I knew they had some money,
but I didn't know how much.

204
00:11:13,297 --> 00:11:18,259
She just said she has plenty set aside
that the grandma done worked out with her.

205
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:21,680
[Angela] Then she told me that her mother
was fighting with her about money,

206
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:24,599
that money she wasn't actually getting,

207
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,520
but someday she was gonna be
this millionaire.

208
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:30,188
I mean, that's what she told us.

209
00:11:30,189 --> 00:11:34,943
Her mother was going to get her
cut completely out of all the money.

210
00:11:34,944 --> 00:11:36,486
She wasn't gonna get nothing.

211
00:11:36,487 --> 00:11:39,155
She hated her mother,
and her mother hated her.

212
00:11:39,156 --> 00:11:43,493
Taylor just portrayed her mom just to be
a-- pretty much, a greedy monster. Um…

213
00:11:43,494 --> 00:11:45,120
[music turns lively]

214
00:11:45,121 --> 00:11:47,831
I was just kind of there
being as supportive as I could,

215
00:11:47,832 --> 00:11:51,627
but it was just-- it was never-ending
of the family drama.

216
00:11:52,503 --> 00:11:56,297
From my perspective,
they didn't actually fit.

217
00:11:56,298 --> 00:11:59,008
He was born to a family of workers,

218
00:11:59,009 --> 00:12:01,052
and he wasn't making
any money to speak of,

219
00:12:01,053 --> 00:12:06,391
and she was born in a family
of people that had lots of money.

220
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:08,977
From my experiences of life,

221
00:12:08,978 --> 00:12:13,107
I've never really seen a relationship
like that work for very long.

222
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:20,406
[dogs barking]

223
00:12:35,921 --> 00:12:38,214
[Connie] All of a sudden,
she sold all of her furniture

224
00:12:38,215 --> 00:12:41,760
and pretty much emptied the house out
that she was renting,

225
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:43,428
and she moved in with him.

226
00:12:43,429 --> 00:12:46,931
And I think that that was
kind of the point where I realized

227
00:12:46,932 --> 00:12:50,560
it was… becoming more serious.

228
00:12:50,561 --> 00:12:52,563
[tender music plays]

229
00:12:54,356 --> 00:12:59,569
[Connie] It was kind of strange that she
didn't seem to have a lot to store.

230
00:12:59,570 --> 00:13:02,698
Just kind of traveled light, you know?

231
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:07,619
[Wade] She told me that because her mom
don't want her having no inheritance

232
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:09,704
and no property and no money,

233
00:13:09,705 --> 00:13:14,042
and she don't know what extreme
her mom's gonna go to.

234
00:13:14,043 --> 00:13:16,461
She said, "I think it's a good idea
if I move in with you

235
00:13:16,462 --> 00:13:17,797
for more protection."

236
00:13:18,380 --> 00:13:19,923
And so she did.

237
00:13:19,924 --> 00:13:22,217
[music turns intriguing]

238
00:13:22,218 --> 00:13:23,760
She had two kids.

239
00:13:23,761 --> 00:13:25,804
Her daughter would be with us
during the week,

240
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:29,475
but we never seen the boy that often.

241
00:13:30,768 --> 00:13:34,647
I noticed instead of really spending
one-on-one time with her,

242
00:13:35,397 --> 00:13:38,483
it was more "What was Wade doing?"
You know?

243
00:13:38,484 --> 00:13:41,278
[laughing] We're trying
to figure out how to do your trailer.

244
00:13:41,862 --> 00:13:44,531
This is broke, Wade.
You're missing a bolt.

245
00:13:44,532 --> 00:13:47,200
I can fix that so don't-- don't be mad.

246
00:13:47,201 --> 00:13:48,993
[Stephanie] She did seem
to have a big heart.

247
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:51,329
Would do anything in the world for Wade.

248
00:13:51,330 --> 00:13:52,455
Anything he asked.

249
00:13:52,456 --> 00:13:54,958
She would mow the yard,
she would have supper ready.

250
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:56,168
I think he loved that.

251
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:59,170
[Wade] She'd make sure
she had a good meal cooked

252
00:13:59,171 --> 00:14:01,256
when I got home from work.

253
00:14:01,257 --> 00:14:03,091
She would take care of the animals.

254
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:07,930
Anything I asked her to do, she would do.
So she did pull her weight.

255
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:18,648
After she started living with Wade,
she was over at my house, uh, constantly.

256
00:14:18,649 --> 00:14:20,191
So by this time, you know,

257
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:24,487
I've heard story upon story upon story
of-- you know, about her mother.

258
00:14:24,488 --> 00:14:28,783
Then one day she told me
her mother had lost favor

259
00:14:28,784 --> 00:14:32,996
with the rest of her family
because of her threats to Taylor.

260
00:14:32,997 --> 00:14:36,584
So she suddenly was gonna get
more money from her grandmother.

261
00:14:37,376 --> 00:14:40,169
[Connie] She was going
to inherit eight million or so.

262
00:14:40,170 --> 00:14:41,087
[bold music plays]

263
00:14:41,088 --> 00:14:45,175
Eight million dollars was just something
that you don't hear every day.

264
00:14:45,801 --> 00:14:47,802
[Wade] I didn't really know what to think,

265
00:14:47,803 --> 00:14:52,265
but she said that'll make things
a lot-- a lot better off now.

266
00:14:52,266 --> 00:14:55,768
[Codey] He was thinking her grandparents
were gonna give all that to her

267
00:14:55,769 --> 00:14:57,020
in the will and stuff,

268
00:14:57,021 --> 00:15:01,316
and then Wade was like, "Gosh, damn,
if they do that, then damn, I'm set."

269
00:15:01,317 --> 00:15:04,278
[bold music intensifies]

270
00:15:07,114 --> 00:15:10,700
[Angela] When all of a sudden this seemed
like they were gonna get all this money,

271
00:15:10,701 --> 00:15:13,244
I mean, they were buying everything.
They were buying cars

272
00:15:13,245 --> 00:15:15,998
and side-by-sides and cattle.

273
00:15:16,874 --> 00:15:18,750
They done bought a $20,000 side-by-side,

274
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:21,961
done bought him
a $60,000, $80,000 tractor,

275
00:15:21,962 --> 00:15:24,631
and now done went
and bought a $87,000 truck.

276
00:15:24,632 --> 00:15:27,175
I mean, money's got to be coming
from somewhere, you know.

277
00:15:27,176 --> 00:15:29,218
[Roger] It was like a Cadillac, you know.

278
00:15:29,219 --> 00:15:32,096
So I'm sitting here,
thinking, "That's a $100,000 truck."

279
00:15:32,097 --> 00:15:34,349
"There's no way
you can afford that pickup."

280
00:15:34,350 --> 00:15:35,893
He said, "Well, I'll tell you,

281
00:15:36,518 --> 00:15:38,938
there's some things
you don't know about me."

282
00:15:40,105 --> 00:15:42,398
I'd been shopping for a car
for quite a while,

283
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:45,193
and she pulled up in my driveway,

284
00:15:45,194 --> 00:15:47,988
and she said,
"How do you like my new car?"

285
00:15:48,697 --> 00:15:51,115
And I said, "Man, that's nice," you know?

286
00:15:51,116 --> 00:15:54,827
And she said, "Well, it's yours.
I bought you a car."

287
00:15:54,828 --> 00:15:57,246
Posted it on Facebook.

288
00:15:57,247 --> 00:16:01,710
You can tell from the picture
that I was kind of reeling from it all.

289
00:16:03,212 --> 00:16:07,966
You know, with Wade, I really saw
a side of him that I hadn't seen before.

290
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,802
Like, he deserved more.

291
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:14,138
But the big thing was this big ranch
that Wade had wanted,

292
00:16:14,139 --> 00:16:17,059
and she was gonna make sure he got that.

293
00:16:18,018 --> 00:16:22,313
[Wade] She was telling me she would like
to buy a nice piece of property somewhere.

294
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:24,565
It didn't really matter the price.

295
00:16:24,566 --> 00:16:29,946
{\an8}So I told her, I said, "Well, there's
this property in Harris, Oklahoma."

296
00:16:29,947 --> 00:16:32,156
"It's right there on Red River."

297
00:16:32,157 --> 00:16:34,326
- [mouse clicking]
- [suspenseful music continues]

298
00:16:39,456 --> 00:16:40,833
[clock ticking]

299
00:16:46,797 --> 00:16:52,469
{\an8}Fall of '19, I received a phone call
from a woman named Taylor.

300
00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:56,931
She was a very well
put-together young lady,

301
00:16:56,932 --> 00:16:59,058
spoke in a very professional manner,

302
00:16:59,059 --> 00:17:03,147
who expressed an interest in a property
that's, uh, known as Pecan Point.

303
00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:06,191
- [cows low]
- [keyboard clacking]

304
00:17:07,234 --> 00:17:09,986
Her and Wade obviously had spoken
about it at length,

305
00:17:09,987 --> 00:17:12,447
and they were looking for
what they referred to

306
00:17:12,448 --> 00:17:15,200
as "a local sportsman's paradise."

307
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:20,622
Wade was very interested
in the local feral hog population.

308
00:17:21,457 --> 00:17:23,875
[woman] She had on jeans,
she was well-dressed.

309
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:26,294
Her hair was nicely done.

310
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:29,380
{\an8}But you know, especially in the farm
and ranch industry,

311
00:17:29,381 --> 00:17:32,383
{\an8}uh, those are very grounded people

312
00:17:32,384 --> 00:17:37,930
who might not look as though they could
purchase a multimillion-dollar property,

313
00:17:37,931 --> 00:17:43,896
but, in fact, they could purchase
multiple million-dollar properties.

314
00:17:44,730 --> 00:17:48,941
[Rusty] My initial impression was
that she probably had some family money.

315
00:17:48,942 --> 00:17:53,821
She certainly indicated that,
and was ready to make an offer.

316
00:17:53,822 --> 00:17:56,407
Four million dollars, I believe.

317
00:17:56,408 --> 00:17:59,661
She was adamant that we're--
she was gonna pay cash.

318
00:18:00,829 --> 00:18:02,122
We were rooting for her.

319
00:18:04,291 --> 00:18:07,543
[man] I seen that, and he said,
"You'll be surprised at what that means."

320
00:18:07,544 --> 00:18:10,004
It's got the house,
and all the barns, and that part--

321
00:18:10,005 --> 00:18:11,881
It's got one big barn on it,

322
00:18:11,882 --> 00:18:16,594
and then it has, I guess,
it's kinda like a makeshift half-house,

323
00:18:16,595 --> 00:18:19,138
and then their pecan cleaning production,

324
00:18:19,139 --> 00:18:22,100
but we don't get
any of the equipment on that.

325
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:26,354
[Connie] When we went to my sister's
for the family gathering that day,

326
00:18:26,355 --> 00:18:31,234
they decided to have a little presentation
in front of everybody.

327
00:18:31,235 --> 00:18:34,278
It was a big deal for Taylor and Wade,

328
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:36,572
so we filmed it.

329
00:18:36,573 --> 00:18:41,202
…we're gonna run the pecans on it.
We have about 500 acres.

330
00:18:41,203 --> 00:18:46,290
[Connie] Wade kind of took a back seat,
and she stood in the middle of the room,

331
00:18:46,291 --> 00:18:49,168
and all the attention was on her.

332
00:18:49,169 --> 00:18:53,340
We're pretty excited.
It's a big adventure for both of us.

333
00:18:54,383 --> 00:18:56,342
[Connie] Everybody's listening,

334
00:18:56,343 --> 00:18:59,387
and they're all just
kind of in awe of it all.

335
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:00,847
Kinda cool.

336
00:19:00,848 --> 00:19:02,057
Wow.

337
00:19:03,183 --> 00:19:05,685
- That's a super cool place.
- [man] Well, Merry Christmas.

338
00:19:05,686 --> 00:19:06,853
[woman 1 laughs]

339
00:19:06,854 --> 00:19:09,773
- [Wade] Thank you, man.
- [woman 2] Merry Christmas.

340
00:19:10,524 --> 00:19:12,108
It's "Pecan Bend" now.

341
00:19:12,109 --> 00:19:13,861
[Wade] She just, she shined.

342
00:19:14,611 --> 00:19:18,739
I mean, she just kind of painted a--
a pretty picture, kind of for the future.

343
00:19:18,740 --> 00:19:20,575
[Connie] The thing about it was,

344
00:19:20,576 --> 00:19:24,745
Pecan Point wasn't something
she would necessarily want herself,

345
00:19:24,746 --> 00:19:26,831
but she knew Wade would.

346
00:19:26,832 --> 00:19:28,166
["Carol of the Bells" plays]

347
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:31,794
[Wade] She made it all look and seem,
like, you know, pretty normal

348
00:19:31,795 --> 00:19:34,547
or, you know, a dream come true,

349
00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:36,007
more or less.

350
00:19:36,008 --> 00:19:37,425
[tense, ethereal music plays]

351
00:19:37,426 --> 00:19:40,720
You know, I hadn't known Taylor
but just a couple months,

352
00:19:40,721 --> 00:19:44,098
and something just kind of still
questioned me about, you know,

353
00:19:44,099 --> 00:19:46,852
"This is all happening way too fast."

354
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:51,731
[interviewer] What happened
to the car that she gave you?

355
00:19:51,732 --> 00:19:54,317
[Connie] I had it about three weeks,
and she said,

356
00:19:54,318 --> 00:19:58,571
"I need y'all to bring the car
to Wade's and park it in the driveway."

357
00:19:58,572 --> 00:20:02,491
"Patterson Nissan,
they're coming to pick it up on a recall."

358
00:20:02,492 --> 00:20:06,455
So I finally called the dealership,
and I said, "What's going on with my car?"

359
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:09,332
They said,
"Ma'am, that car wasn't paid for."

360
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:11,335
"That's why we came and got it."

361
00:20:11,835 --> 00:20:13,629
It was repossessed.

362
00:20:14,504 --> 00:20:15,797
I said, "Oh."

363
00:20:17,090 --> 00:20:19,092
"Okay." [chuckles]

364
00:20:20,469 --> 00:20:23,262
You know, a mom just knows. They know.

365
00:20:23,263 --> 00:20:26,933
You just know when it's your kid.
It's a sixth sense or something.

366
00:20:26,934 --> 00:20:29,478
You just know
that something's just not right.

367
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:32,230
I just began to worry,

368
00:20:32,231 --> 00:20:35,441
you know, "What's gonna happen
if this doesn't go through?"

369
00:20:35,442 --> 00:20:38,694
Because I knew
he couldn't afford those things.

370
00:20:38,695 --> 00:20:40,030
He couldn't pay for that.

371
00:20:42,824 --> 00:20:44,826
[Rusty] Her and Wade signed the offer.

372
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:48,079
In the next couple of days,

373
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,960
we got it back,
and I asked her to verify funds.

374
00:20:53,543 --> 00:20:56,754
[Renee] She was finally going
to be able to get her inheritance.

375
00:20:56,755 --> 00:21:00,091
We have to do a little bit more vetting,
if you will,

376
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:05,680
when it's a cash transaction
coming from a trust or an inheritance.

377
00:21:05,681 --> 00:21:06,764
[telephone rings]

378
00:21:06,765 --> 00:21:09,600
[Rusty] I might get a call
from her lawyer.

379
00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:13,354
I've received a couple of letters
from a local banker.

380
00:21:13,355 --> 00:21:18,609
Many times these forms of communication
would come to us at odd hours,

381
00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:21,237
shortly after five o'clock
in the afternoon

382
00:21:21,238 --> 00:21:24,115
or maybe on a Saturday morning.

383
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:30,454
Taylor put me in contact with Shelly Linx,
who oversaw her oil lease money.

384
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:31,706
[second telephone rings]

385
00:21:31,707 --> 00:21:36,961
I had, uh, made
a couple attempts to reach Shelly.

386
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:40,673
We would call. We would leave a voicemail.

387
00:21:40,674 --> 00:21:44,593
One time, Shelly emailed us back,
kind of reprimanding us

388
00:21:44,594 --> 00:21:47,680
for asking too many personal questions
about her customer.

389
00:21:47,681 --> 00:21:48,764
[woman] "Mr. Lowe…"

390
00:21:48,765 --> 00:21:51,559
[woman and Rusty] "Bank information
is completely confidential."

391
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,187
"The clients are not okay
with the seller calling their bank

392
00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:58,566
and are firm on their decision
in that matter."

393
00:21:58,567 --> 00:22:00,609
"Thank you, Shelly."

394
00:22:00,610 --> 00:22:03,571
I-- I mean, I was getting
my butt chewed out, obviously,

395
00:22:03,572 --> 00:22:05,240
for checking up on her.

396
00:22:08,118 --> 00:22:12,246
As time moved on,
Taylor referred us to an uncle

397
00:22:12,247 --> 00:22:14,374
that was from the Northwest named Butch.

398
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:19,920
And Uncle Butch was going
to wire transfer $300,000

399
00:22:19,921 --> 00:22:26,010
so she could write two checks
for $150,000 each as escrow money.

400
00:22:26,011 --> 00:22:29,181
And… that didn't happen either.

401
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:33,518
[dog barks in distance]

402
00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:37,314
[Wade whistling softly to dogs]

403
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:44,696
[Wade] I didn't really know what to think.

404
00:22:45,447 --> 00:22:48,574
I've never dealt with this much
at one time, this fast.

405
00:22:48,575 --> 00:22:50,369
[hogs grunting]

406
00:22:51,578 --> 00:22:54,164
I think there's something else going on.

407
00:22:55,874 --> 00:23:00,086
A lot of times I would go to work
and confide with my boss, Roger.

408
00:23:00,087 --> 00:23:02,254
He'd say,
"Everything happens for a reason."

409
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:05,841
He said, you know, "Me and my wife
both love her to death."

410
00:23:05,842 --> 00:23:08,719
"I don't see her
taking you down no bad path."

411
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,390
"So whatever, you know, she's telling you,
it's gonna-- it's gonna be the truth."

412
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:13,557
[dreary music plays]

413
00:23:13,558 --> 00:23:16,352
All of a sudden the money wasn't coming
like it's supposed to,

414
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:18,729
and there's more and more fights.

415
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:19,773
[phone chimes]

416
00:23:22,984 --> 00:23:26,195
[Stephanie] She would text me
and say, "I don't think he loves me."

417
00:23:26,196 --> 00:23:27,530
"I bought him this truck,

418
00:23:27,531 --> 00:23:29,990
and he's not acting
any different towards me."

419
00:23:29,991 --> 00:23:32,619
"I think he may be talking
to somebody else."

420
00:23:33,203 --> 00:23:35,287
[Taylor] <i>Can you please call me back?</i>

421
00:23:35,288 --> 00:23:37,791
[urgently] <i>I have tried
and tried to call you.</i>

422
00:23:38,375 --> 00:23:41,335
<i>I am trying to figure something out
so I can tell Shelly.</i>

423
00:23:41,336 --> 00:23:44,840
<i>I need you to call me back on--
someway, somehow.</i>

424
00:23:46,091 --> 00:23:49,093
[Angela] She was, uh, stressful
all the time

425
00:23:49,094 --> 00:23:50,887
that she was gonna lose Wade.

426
00:23:54,891 --> 00:23:58,561
[woman] I work from home, and I could see
his house from where I was working.

427
00:23:58,562 --> 00:24:01,981
{\an8}And Wade would be riding
the side-by-side out to the farm,

428
00:24:01,982 --> 00:24:04,817
{\an8}and she was just holding him,

429
00:24:04,818 --> 00:24:09,405
embracing him
like, just, "This is my guy."

430
00:24:09,406 --> 00:24:11,031
Like, "I love him so much."

431
00:24:11,032 --> 00:24:15,996
And Wade would just be…
He just seemed very distant from her.

432
00:24:24,754 --> 00:24:29,718
[Angela] She came over to my house one day
when her and Wade were fighting a lot.

433
00:24:31,178 --> 00:24:35,182
She wanted to see me
as a chiropractor, which I am.

434
00:24:35,765 --> 00:24:38,852
She came in,
she was just real ecstatic, real happy.

435
00:24:39,811 --> 00:24:46,317
She said, "I want you to talk to my body
and ask if I'm pregnant."

436
00:24:46,318 --> 00:24:49,403
I asked her, I said,
"Why do you think you're pregnant?"

437
00:24:49,404 --> 00:24:54,201
And she said, "Well, I looked
in the mirror and my aura has changed."

438
00:24:54,910 --> 00:24:55,993
[dreamy music plays]

439
00:24:55,994 --> 00:24:57,287
"I just know it."

440
00:24:57,954 --> 00:24:59,873
"So how can I tell Wade?"

441
00:25:00,582 --> 00:25:03,375
[chuckles] And I said, "Well, you don't."

442
00:25:03,376 --> 00:25:06,420
"You don't tell Wade anything
until you know."

443
00:25:06,421 --> 00:25:07,422
She was convinced.

444
00:25:08,548 --> 00:25:12,093
One evening, she hits me with,
"I'm pretty sure I'm-- I'm pregnant."

445
00:25:13,553 --> 00:25:16,472
Angela took her to the doctor,
she got a test, and lo and behold,

446
00:25:16,473 --> 00:25:20,101
she come back out of there
with paperwork showing she was pregnant.

447
00:25:20,727 --> 00:25:25,856
She sent me a text message
and said, "I think I'm pregnant."

448
00:25:25,857 --> 00:25:27,192
And I was like, "Congratulations."

449
00:25:27,901 --> 00:25:30,861
[Connie] They announced
that she was pregnant.

450
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:32,738
So I thought, "Okay."

451
00:25:32,739 --> 00:25:34,657
Wade was maybe a little nervous

452
00:25:34,658 --> 00:25:38,453
about what was fixing to come
and change his life, you know?

453
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:41,789
I mean, I like to take stuff slow,
not just start jumping

454
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:45,584
from dating one month
to all, "I'm already pregnant."

455
00:25:45,585 --> 00:25:48,254
But Roger was tickled to death.
Angela was happy.

456
00:25:48,255 --> 00:25:51,298
So if she's pregnant,
then I was good with it.

457
00:25:51,299 --> 00:25:56,720
She had said, "I want this baby
to call you Aunt Bae,

458
00:25:56,721 --> 00:25:58,640
Best Aunt Ever."

459
00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:02,519
So she actually went and had a shirt made.

460
00:26:04,646 --> 00:26:06,730
[Tiffany] I know that she was preparing.

461
00:26:06,731 --> 00:26:12,444
Like, we had a garage sale on the street,
and there was a high chair.

462
00:26:12,445 --> 00:26:15,114
And she was like,
"Oh, I want that high chair."

463
00:26:15,115 --> 00:26:18,243
We brought it over to her,
and she was excited to have it.

464
00:26:18,910 --> 00:26:21,954
[Wade] I've never had kids before,
so this was all a first for me.

465
00:26:21,955 --> 00:26:24,540
And she's already had two.
"You're the expert here."

466
00:26:24,541 --> 00:26:27,961
"I mean, I'm just gonna go
with whatever you're telling me."

467
00:26:28,545 --> 00:26:31,006
[Angela] I felt he was obligated.

468
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,010
But I think the money
helped that obligation. [chuckles]

469
00:26:36,845 --> 00:26:38,722
[sparse, suspenseful music plays]

470
00:26:45,061 --> 00:26:47,063
[keyboard clacking]

471
00:26:51,151 --> 00:26:54,820
[Wade] She told Codey and Stephanie
that, uh, she wants to do a gender reveal.

472
00:26:54,821 --> 00:26:56,531
Double lines!

473
00:26:57,157 --> 00:26:58,241
[phone chimes]

474
00:27:03,371 --> 00:27:05,539
[Stephanie] I was like,
"Oh, wow, that's so exciting."

475
00:27:05,540 --> 00:27:06,957
But I had asked Codey one day,

476
00:27:06,958 --> 00:27:10,795
I'm like, "I don't think that she,
like, really has many friends."

477
00:27:11,338 --> 00:27:13,756
Because the way she acted towards me.

478
00:27:13,757 --> 00:27:16,258
Well, he actually was like,
"Just be nice."

479
00:27:16,259 --> 00:27:20,680
{\an8}"She really likes you,
so let's do it this day."

480
00:27:22,057 --> 00:27:27,102
She had a list of people
that she wanted to invite.

481
00:27:27,103 --> 00:27:29,521
I said, "So you're not…
your mom or anything?"

482
00:27:29,522 --> 00:27:32,483
She's like,
"No, don't mention it to my mom."

483
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:36,655
"Nobody on… That's a no-go.
We don't do that."

484
00:27:37,489 --> 00:27:41,825
[Angela] Taylor was sending me the report
that was saying if it was a boy or a girl.

485
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:44,453
And so I sent that on over to her friend.

486
00:27:44,454 --> 00:27:48,499
[Stephanie] It said, "Congratulations,
Taylor Parker, it's a girl."

487
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:51,335
And I'm, like, looking
at this paper really well,

488
00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:53,253
and I noticed the date on it.

[suspenseful music plays]

490
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:57,008
And the date on it said 2016.

491
00:27:57,717 --> 00:28:01,887
So I call her, and I said,
"Are you sure this is the right paper?"

492
00:28:01,888 --> 00:28:04,640
And she said,
"Let me call my doctor right now."

493
00:28:04,641 --> 00:28:08,143
Well, it seemed like 30 seconds
may have passed by.

494
00:28:08,144 --> 00:28:14,608
And she said, "There were over 200
or 100 misprints that day in the lab."

495
00:28:14,609 --> 00:28:19,030
"So they're gonna send a new one,
but she did say the gender is right."

496
00:28:21,658 --> 00:28:23,867
I knew something was off.

- [woman] So cute.
- [man] It's a little girl.

502
00:28:41,886 --> 00:28:45,597
[Stephanie] The day
of the gender reveal was very awkward.

503
00:28:45,598 --> 00:28:48,101
But she seemed really excited.

504
00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:51,729
She kind of, like, started
screaming and jumping up

505
00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:54,733
and, like, clapping,
and it was kind of quiet.

506
00:28:56,359 --> 00:28:58,068
They come around double-wide over there,

507
00:28:58,069 --> 00:29:00,612
they come around the side of the house
with a little calf,

508
00:29:00,613 --> 00:29:02,948
and it had a pink little bow
around its neck.

509
00:29:02,949 --> 00:29:06,285
You know? And they're all excited
and everything else, you know,

510
00:29:06,286 --> 00:29:08,162
and I just start clapping or whatnot.

511
00:29:08,163 --> 00:29:11,540
- [child 1] Show the cow who's the boss.
- [child 2] Oh, my God!

512
00:29:11,541 --> 00:29:14,501
I told her I always liked the name Clancy.

513
00:29:14,502 --> 00:29:19,299
So she come up
with the-- the middle name, Clancy Gaile.

514
00:29:20,717 --> 00:29:23,594
When he told me,
I was like, "Mmm." You know?

515
00:29:23,595 --> 00:29:25,888
"That's different." [chuckles]

516
00:29:25,889 --> 00:29:29,976
He said, "Mama, I've had that name
picked out for… for years."

Y'all wanna get some pictures?

518
00:29:32,061 --> 00:29:34,188
[Codey] He was excited.
He was wanting to be a father.

519
00:29:34,189 --> 00:29:35,689
He always wanted to be a father.

520
00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:37,900
I mean, what man does not want
to be a father, you know?

521
00:29:37,901 --> 00:29:39,360
I don't know but a handful, maybe.

522
00:29:42,363 --> 00:29:45,574
[woman] I saw pictures
of this gender reveal.

523
00:29:45,575 --> 00:29:48,577
She had this baby calf
and had a pink bow around it,

524
00:29:48,578 --> 00:29:50,455
and it was a girl.

525
00:29:52,081 --> 00:29:54,333
{\an8}It made me sick. [chuckles]

526
00:29:54,334 --> 00:29:56,836
{\an8}It made me so sick to my stomach.

527
00:29:57,504 --> 00:29:58,921
{\an8}Because I knew,

528
00:29:58,922 --> 00:30:01,256
I mean, that she can't be pregnant.

529
00:30:01,257 --> 00:30:03,091
[dramatic music plays]

530
00:30:03,092 --> 00:30:05,428
She had a hysterectomy.

531
00:30:12,227 --> 00:30:15,354
[man] Our first involvement
with Taylor was in 2010,

532
00:30:15,355 --> 00:30:18,733
I think, at the age of 17,
for her first pregnancy.

533
00:30:19,234 --> 00:30:21,068
{\an8}After her second child,

534
00:30:21,069 --> 00:30:22,986
{\an8}she did not want to have
any more children,

535
00:30:22,987 --> 00:30:25,489
{\an8}so she made the decision
on permanent sterilization,

536
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:27,032
physically blocking the tubes

537
00:30:27,033 --> 00:30:29,159
{\an8}so that you can't have children anymore.

538
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,538
{\an8}She signed the appropriate consent forms,
went through the wait period,

539
00:30:32,539 --> 00:30:35,291
{\an8}and, uh, was still adamant
that that's what she wanted.

540
00:30:36,251 --> 00:30:38,710
Taylor came back
about a year and a half later

541
00:30:38,711 --> 00:30:39,795
with bleeding.

542
00:30:39,796 --> 00:30:42,382
She had a cyst on the right ovary.

543
00:30:42,882 --> 00:30:46,260
When we got inside,
she also had what looked like

544
00:30:46,261 --> 00:30:49,179
a visible ectopic pregnancy
in the left tube.

545
00:30:49,180 --> 00:30:51,557
An ectopic pregnancy
cannot be carried to term.

546
00:30:51,558 --> 00:30:54,726
It would be dangerous
and most likely life-threatening.

547
00:30:54,727 --> 00:30:56,812
The decision was made to do a hysterectomy

548
00:30:56,813 --> 00:30:59,231
and a removal of both tubes
and the right ovary.

549
00:30:59,232 --> 00:31:02,651
After a patient has had a hysterectomy,
she cannot become pregnant

550
00:31:02,652 --> 00:31:06,072
because she no longer
has a uterus to get pregnant from.

[woman] This is a small town,
and she was a patient of ours.

556
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:00,459
{\an8}In 2020,

557
00:32:00,460 --> 00:32:04,964
{\an8}we started seeing, uh,
social media posts about her pregnancy.

558
00:32:06,174 --> 00:32:09,301
[Dr. Mason] When we first found out
Taylor was saying she was pregnant

559
00:32:09,302 --> 00:32:11,011
and announced it on Facebook,

560
00:32:11,012 --> 00:32:14,807
we were very confused
because we knew that she could not be.

561
00:32:16,142 --> 00:32:21,188
We couldn't publicly say anything about it
because we were bound by privacy laws.

562
00:32:21,189 --> 00:32:25,192
Unless there is something
that's endangering someone else,

563
00:32:25,193 --> 00:32:26,985
then we can't break those HIPAA laws.

564
00:32:26,986 --> 00:32:30,073
We were being put
in a very difficult position.

565
00:32:36,621 --> 00:32:41,917
Me and Abby knew
she's not what she paints herself to be.

- [woman] Abby! [laughing]
- [Abby] Uh-uh!

568
00:32:46,422 --> 00:32:50,968
[McKenzie] And when I first met Taylor,
we hit it off immediately.

569
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:55,847
She became a very close friend of mine,
I would say literally almost overnight.

[ethereal music plays]

571
00:32:58,518 --> 00:33:03,021
{\an8}Before everything happened, Kenzie,
Taylor, and I were all best friends.

572
00:33:03,022 --> 00:33:06,024
And we would spend basically
all our time together.

573
00:33:06,025 --> 00:33:08,360
- Blah!
- [women laugh]

574
00:33:08,361 --> 00:33:12,615
[Abby] 24-7. If we weren't together,
there was at least two of us together.

575
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:17,661
Our emotions were very connected.
If I was sad, she was sad.

576
00:33:17,662 --> 00:33:20,331
If she was sad, I was.
If she was happy, me too.

577
00:33:21,374 --> 00:33:23,625
{\an8}But I was worried bad for her.

578
00:33:23,626 --> 00:33:28,422
{\an8}As my close friend, I was so worried
because Taylor stayed sick.

579
00:33:28,423 --> 00:33:30,717
She stayed sick all the time.

580
00:33:31,342 --> 00:33:33,720
She had all these conditions.

581
00:33:34,303 --> 00:33:36,680
She was always in and out of the hospital.

582
00:33:36,681 --> 00:33:39,099
I remember there was
always pictures of her,

583
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,561
like, in the hospital,
she was taking selfies.

584
00:33:42,937 --> 00:33:48,734
[McKenzie] Taylor told me
that she had been diagnosed with MS.

585
00:33:48,735 --> 00:33:51,737
She also had cancer,
from my understanding.

586
00:33:51,738 --> 00:33:55,365
At one time, she had had,
like, a brain tumor or something.

587
00:33:55,366 --> 00:33:57,034
She'd had a stroke.

588
00:33:57,035 --> 00:33:59,703
I mean, all of these things
kind of played into each other.

589
00:33:59,704 --> 00:34:01,621
There was a lot of posts about it.

590
00:34:01,622 --> 00:34:05,292
[McKenzie] She would actually have times
when you could see deficit

591
00:34:05,293 --> 00:34:06,626
from the stroke.

592
00:34:06,627 --> 00:34:09,296
You would see slurring, drooping face.

593
00:34:09,297 --> 00:34:13,967
I mean, I genuinely believed
that she had suffered a stroke.

594
00:34:13,968 --> 00:34:15,802
{\an8}[Abby] It's always something with Taylor.

595
00:34:15,803 --> 00:34:17,179
{\an8}She would put on Facebook

596
00:34:17,180 --> 00:34:19,306
{\an8}that she was either sick
or she had a headache.

597
00:34:19,307 --> 00:34:23,685
After it kept happening and happening
and happening over and over,

598
00:34:23,686 --> 00:34:26,646
I started being like,
"Yeah, maybe she's not really sick."

599
00:34:26,647 --> 00:34:28,858
"Maybe it's, like, something else."

600
00:34:29,692 --> 00:34:33,403
At the same time, I was going
through health problems of my own

601
00:34:33,404 --> 00:34:36,073
and was actually told
that I would never have kids naturally.

602
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:38,366
{\an8}Taylor shared those emotions with me.

603
00:34:38,367 --> 00:34:41,244
{\an8}And then once she found out
that I was pregnant,

604
00:34:41,245 --> 00:34:43,288
it was like she was pregnant
with her own child.

605
00:34:43,289 --> 00:34:47,502
It was just so exciting for both of us.

606
00:34:49,128 --> 00:34:53,507
As my pregnancy progressed,
she wanted to be in everything.

607
00:34:53,508 --> 00:34:56,259
And as my best friend,
I was fine with that, you know?

608
00:34:56,260 --> 00:35:01,181
But then after Taylor had realized
McKenzie was having a girl,

609
00:35:01,182 --> 00:35:02,475
things got super weird.

610
00:35:03,059 --> 00:35:04,893
[Kenzie] She wanted
to plan the gender reveal.

611
00:35:04,894 --> 00:35:07,104
She wanted to be there
for the ultrasounds.

612
00:35:07,105 --> 00:35:09,147
She wanted to know
when the appointments were.

613
00:35:09,148 --> 00:35:11,566
How was Kenzie doing?
How was the baby doing?

614
00:35:11,567 --> 00:35:15,403
She wanted the login
to my pregnancy tracking app

615
00:35:15,404 --> 00:35:18,199
so that she could watch
the progress of my pregnancy.

616
00:35:18,783 --> 00:35:22,119
[Abby] It was concerning.
I mean, I know you're happy for her,

617
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,663
but you don't have
to be, like, crazy happy.

618
00:35:24,664 --> 00:35:27,875
It's like she wanted
the pregnancy to be hers.

619
00:35:28,876 --> 00:35:32,338
And then she asked
if one of us could carry a baby for her.

620
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,092
She said, "Okay, I've accepted
that I can't have any more kids."

621
00:35:36,968 --> 00:35:38,594
"Would one of y'all want to do it for me?"

622
00:35:39,178 --> 00:35:44,766
{\an8}She said that whoever carried this baby
would get a minimum of $50,000.

623
00:35:44,767 --> 00:35:46,518
But how could you have another baby

624
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:49,521
when you didn't even take care
of the two kids you had?

625
00:35:49,522 --> 00:35:54,360
That was the first time I took
a step back from Taylor and was like…

626
00:35:55,778 --> 00:35:57,155
"You're scaring me."

627
00:35:58,156 --> 00:36:03,494
She became obsessive with my pregnancy,
and I had to cut her off.

628
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:08,874
{\an8}Then I heard through her social media
that she was pregnant,

629
00:36:08,875 --> 00:36:11,169
that her and Wade were gonna have a baby.

630
00:36:12,253 --> 00:36:16,173
I feel like she got far enough away
from our friend group

631
00:36:16,174 --> 00:36:20,094
that she could start
this whole lie over again.

632
00:36:20,970 --> 00:36:23,347
He didn't know
that she'd had a hysterectomy.

633
00:36:29,437 --> 00:36:33,857
[Stephanie] After the gender reveal,
I call that lab,

634
00:36:33,858 --> 00:36:38,029
and I just said, "Hey, there was someone
I knew that went and had lab work done,"

635
00:36:38,654 --> 00:36:40,906
and I read this lady
the gender reveal paper,

636
00:36:40,907 --> 00:36:44,659
and she said,
"We don't send things like that."

637
00:36:44,660 --> 00:36:48,872
I actually called the clinic,
and I spoke to the office manager,

638
00:36:48,873 --> 00:36:51,708
and she said, "If you don't mind
me asking, what's her name?"

639
00:36:51,709 --> 00:36:53,710
And I said, "Taylor Parker."

640
00:36:53,711 --> 00:36:55,795
With the HIPAA laws, I told her, I said,

641
00:36:55,796 --> 00:37:01,968
"I cannot give you any information
since she used to be a patient of ours."

642
00:37:01,969 --> 00:37:05,347
"But what all you've told me,
I can tell you this, just go with your…"

643
00:37:05,348 --> 00:37:07,433
"…gut, trust your instincts."

644
00:37:08,184 --> 00:37:09,976
And I left it at that.

645
00:37:09,977 --> 00:37:10,977
[gloomy music plays]

646
00:37:10,978 --> 00:37:13,146
[Stephanie] Me and Connie
are talking at this point,

647
00:37:13,147 --> 00:37:16,358
like, she has said so many things
that did not add up.

648
00:37:16,359 --> 00:37:20,695
She and I talked every day
about what she had learned or found out,

649
00:37:20,696 --> 00:37:23,448
and some of the clinics
she claimed to have gone to,

650
00:37:23,449 --> 00:37:26,409
and they wouldn't say,
but they would kind of say,

651
00:37:26,410 --> 00:37:29,454
"You're-- You're probably
on to something."

652
00:37:29,455 --> 00:37:31,998
I even asked Angela at the time, I said,

653
00:37:31,999 --> 00:37:35,127
"Did you go in with her
to Healthcare Express?"

654
00:37:35,753 --> 00:37:37,296
{\an8}She said, "No."

655
00:37:39,882 --> 00:37:42,842
[Codey] She would sit up in the bed,
eleven, twelve o'clock at night,

656
00:37:42,843 --> 00:37:44,844
you know, trying to investigate.

657
00:37:44,845 --> 00:37:46,763
You know, I would be nice at first, like,

658
00:37:46,764 --> 00:37:49,099
"Baby, what are you still doing up?"
You know?

659
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:51,978
"Oh, I'm just scrolling through Taylor's…"

660
00:37:52,561 --> 00:37:54,938
Why in the fuck are you scrolling--
What the fuck?

661
00:37:54,939 --> 00:37:57,691
Gosh damn, leave that shit alone.

662
00:37:57,692 --> 00:37:58,943
I was like…

663
00:38:00,278 --> 00:38:01,736
"Am I crazy?"

664
00:38:01,737 --> 00:38:06,909
Like, "She wouldn't go through all this
to not be pregnant."

665
00:38:07,410 --> 00:38:12,289
The gender reveal, her dad was there,
her kids were there.

666
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,791
I mean, you know, in your mind you think,

667
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:18,253
"Well, why are they here
if it's not true?"

668
00:38:18,254 --> 00:38:20,255
I mean, they would know.

669
00:38:20,256 --> 00:38:24,135
[Stephanie] She's got to be pregnant
or somebody would say something.

670
00:38:28,973 --> 00:38:30,975
[hogs grunting]

671

- [calls hogs]
- [hogs squeal and grunt]

675
00:39:01,380 --> 00:39:05,342
[Wade] I started getting e-mails
and text messages while I was at work.

676
00:39:05,343 --> 00:39:07,845
It'd be from different numbers
that I didn't really know.

677
00:39:09,764 --> 00:39:12,265
Me and Taylor getting them
pretty much every day.

678
00:39:12,266 --> 00:39:14,477
I would get some
and then she would get some.

679
00:39:16,062 --> 00:39:19,899
This person was sending
text messages to him randomly

680
00:39:20,483 --> 00:39:22,859
throughout the day and night.

681
00:39:22,860 --> 00:39:26,446
{\an8}Not just one or two.
It'd be eight or ten a day or so.

682
00:39:26,447 --> 00:39:30,409
It was stuff that you would read,
like, "Who thinks like this?"

683
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:32,160
Horrible thoughts.

684
00:39:32,161 --> 00:39:33,496
[keyboard clacking]

685
00:39:34,497 --> 00:39:38,750
[Angela] I got a-- a letter
in my business e-mail.

686
00:39:38,751 --> 00:39:41,961
That's when it really kind of started
getting involved in our life.

687
00:39:41,962 --> 00:39:44,798
It said,
"Listen, you know nothing about Taylor."

688
00:39:44,799 --> 00:39:47,050
"Don't try to be a mother figure to her."

689
00:39:47,051 --> 00:39:50,178
"See, I'm going to send her
in such a deep depression,

690
00:39:50,179 --> 00:39:53,306
{\an8}she'll probably try to kill herself
like she's tried before."

691
00:39:53,307 --> 00:39:57,269
{\an8}"But if not then,
me making Wade leave will do the trick."

692
00:39:58,145 --> 00:40:00,772
I told him, I said,
"Wade, there's something going on."

693
00:40:00,773 --> 00:40:03,108
"This is… This is not right."

694
00:40:03,109 --> 00:40:06,904
He finally called me one day and he said,
"Mama, here, look at these text messages."

695
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:15,371
"We found out today
that her mother is behind that."

696
00:40:21,377 --> 00:40:25,547
One evening she called me on the phone
and she was terribly distraught,

697
00:40:25,548 --> 00:40:28,800
crying on the phone
and telling me this whole story

698
00:40:28,801 --> 00:40:31,553
about how her mother
had come back in the picture

699
00:40:31,554 --> 00:40:35,640
and caused all these problems for her,
and none of it was gonna work out.

700
00:40:35,641 --> 00:40:36,642
{\an8}[phone chimes]

701
00:40:37,893 --> 00:40:40,854
{\an8}[Renee] She was very distraught

702
00:40:40,855 --> 00:40:44,275
when she had to tell us
that… that wasn't gonna happen.

703
00:40:44,775 --> 00:40:46,902
She was not gonna be able to purchase.

704
00:40:47,695 --> 00:40:51,281
[Angela] Her mother had gone
supposedly in the bank prior

705
00:40:51,282 --> 00:40:54,742
and had all kinds of things changed
where then she couldn't get the money.

706
00:40:54,743 --> 00:40:55,785
[moody music plays]

707
00:40:55,786 --> 00:40:59,080
All of a sudden,
the mom's back in the picture.

708
00:40:59,081 --> 00:41:02,501
[chuckles dryly] And she had
orchestrated all that.

709
00:41:08,340 --> 00:41:10,758
[Wade] I told her,
"I can't believe your mom is doing this."

710
00:41:10,759 --> 00:41:13,219
"Can't believe you and your mom
can't come to some kinda peace

711
00:41:13,220 --> 00:41:14,513
on this whole deal."

712
00:41:15,848 --> 00:41:18,266
But once her mom found out
she was pregnant,

713
00:41:18,267 --> 00:41:21,227
she was just kind of against her having
any kind of kid with me

714
00:41:21,228 --> 00:41:23,939
that's gonna be getting
any kind of inheritance like that.

715
00:41:24,523 --> 00:41:27,943
She said, "I warned you
what kind of person she was."

716
00:41:29,195 --> 00:41:31,321
[Connie] It really upset him, you know,

717
00:41:31,322 --> 00:41:33,615
that he had to go back
and face his family,

718
00:41:33,616 --> 00:41:36,952
knowing that it wasn't ever gonna happen.

719
00:41:41,290 --> 00:41:43,917
{\an8}[Wade] Right in the middle
of everything else that was going on,

720
00:41:43,918 --> 00:41:47,545
{\an8}Taylor was portraying it more,
you know, happy-go-lucky family.

721
00:41:47,546 --> 00:41:49,547
{\an8}Like, "so many weeks pregnant,"

722
00:41:49,548 --> 00:41:51,634
and have her hand
on her stomach or whatever.

723
00:41:55,137 --> 00:41:57,139
[keyboard clacking]

724
00:41:59,183 --> 00:42:01,601
[McKenzie] All people see is
the social media side of things.

725
00:42:01,602 --> 00:42:06,106
All they see is the happy smiling faces
and this loving, happy relationship.

726
00:42:09,026 --> 00:42:12,696
It revolved around Taylor.
She thrives off validation.

727
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:21,663
[woman] I knew Taylor
from junior high to high school.

728
00:42:21,664 --> 00:42:24,707
She cared about the way she looked.
She cared about her weight.

729
00:42:24,708 --> 00:42:27,627
But she was very insecure.

730
00:42:27,628 --> 00:42:32,966
{\an8}Taylor would meet
most of the boys she spoke to online.

731
00:42:32,967 --> 00:42:38,721
She would ask girls
for pictures of themselves, neck down.

732
00:42:38,722 --> 00:42:40,598
But she had no shame in saying,

733
00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:43,685
like, "Oh, I'm sending it
to this guy I'm talking to."

734
00:42:43,686 --> 00:42:46,896
You know, they're thinking, like,
"You're just openly asking me

735
00:42:46,897 --> 00:42:48,523
to give you a nude picture of myself

736
00:42:48,524 --> 00:42:52,235
to send to some random person
to catfish them."

737
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:55,573
Like, "Taylor!" Like, "What are they
going to do when they see you?"

738
00:42:57,324 --> 00:43:00,911
[McKenzie] Not long before I'd met her,
she'd lost a lot of weight.

739
00:43:01,412 --> 00:43:03,038
She had a…

740
00:43:03,956 --> 00:43:05,291
gastric sleeve done.

741
00:43:05,874 --> 00:43:08,751
She would say things
about how her skin looked

742
00:43:08,752 --> 00:43:12,755
and how she wished
that she could just take it off, you know.

743
00:43:12,756 --> 00:43:16,426
But then would get ready
and was so confident.

744
00:43:16,427 --> 00:43:18,637
You could not destroy her confidence.

745
00:43:20,723 --> 00:43:23,892
[Lindsey] I worked with Taylor
from 2018 to 2019.

746
00:43:25,311 --> 00:43:27,937
At the time,
I was the recruiting coordinator there.

747
00:43:27,938 --> 00:43:30,732
{\an8}She seemed like a good worker.
She seemed like she was on top of it.

748
00:43:30,733 --> 00:43:32,151
{\an8}She was eager to learn.

749
00:43:33,235 --> 00:43:36,154
{\an8}To be honest, I was going
through a very hard time.

750
00:43:36,155 --> 00:43:39,866
I'd just lost my youngest daughter
in February of '18.

751
00:43:39,867 --> 00:43:44,454
So I was doing good
to get up and go to work.

752
00:43:44,455 --> 00:43:46,372
[somber music plays]

753
00:43:46,373 --> 00:43:48,291
When I would have a hard day,

754
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:51,336
you know, Taylor would talk
about how she had lost her baby girl too,

755
00:43:51,337 --> 00:43:53,338
you know, that was born with brain damage.

756
00:43:53,339 --> 00:43:57,508
And-- And so she really knew
what it was like to hold,

757
00:43:57,509 --> 00:44:00,470
you know, your child while they…

758
00:44:00,471 --> 00:44:05,433
[voice breaks] And so for another mom
to feel that, or another person,

759
00:44:05,434 --> 00:44:08,019
because you don't know how that feels
until you experience it.

760
00:44:08,020 --> 00:44:10,938
And it's… beyond devastating.

761
00:44:10,939 --> 00:44:16,654
And that's what would make me feel
like she understood and vice versa.

762
00:44:18,030 --> 00:44:20,240
But, of course, that wasn't true either.

763
00:44:22,117 --> 00:44:27,247
[McKenzie] She mimicked people
in all facets of life.

764
00:44:27,748 --> 00:44:32,418
I feel like she tried to mimic
a lot of what I went through too.

765
00:44:32,419 --> 00:44:37,674
It's almost like she has to piece together
parts of other people's real lives

766
00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:40,761
to make hers feel a little bit more real.

767
00:44:41,261 --> 00:44:43,846
You said you gave birth
to a baby that had brain damage

768
00:44:43,847 --> 00:44:46,474
that you held while dying,
like I did my daughter,

769
00:44:46,475 --> 00:44:48,184
and that was a lie.

770
00:44:48,185 --> 00:44:49,686
That was my daughter's story.

771
00:44:49,687 --> 00:44:52,647
That wasn't for her to use
to manipulate and lie.

772
00:44:52,648 --> 00:44:55,734
And it feels very, um, violating.

773
00:44:56,902 --> 00:44:58,486
Later, and only to find out

774
00:44:58,487 --> 00:45:01,824
that she actually was not doing
any of her job, really.

775
00:45:02,658 --> 00:45:05,743
Not scheduling appointments, really,
not inputting applications.

776
00:45:05,744 --> 00:45:10,707
She was using my job title in her e-mails,
unbeknownst to our boss.

777
00:45:10,708 --> 00:45:12,209
And that's when she was fired.

778
00:45:15,379 --> 00:45:19,173
At the same time, Taylor started
a side photography business.

779
00:45:19,174 --> 00:45:21,801
She would do it on the weekends,

780
00:45:21,802 --> 00:45:27,014
weddings, engagement announcements,
family portraits, happy moments,

781
00:45:27,015 --> 00:45:32,771
like family-oriented,
but happy, big, life-altering life events.

782
00:45:33,772 --> 00:45:37,067
It's like she wanted
to somehow be a part of.

783
00:45:37,568 --> 00:45:39,570
[solemn music plays]

784
00:45:43,198 --> 00:45:47,119
[woman 1] My daughter, Reagan,
had a photographer at her wedding.

785
00:45:47,661 --> 00:45:51,456
{\an8}I asked how, you know, how she came about
and what she had done before.

786
00:45:51,457 --> 00:45:54,375
{\an8}And she said one of her friends
had recommended her,

787
00:45:54,376 --> 00:45:56,794
and she was trying
to stay budget-friendly,

788
00:45:56,795 --> 00:46:00,506
so this person was ideal for that.

789
00:46:00,507 --> 00:46:01,884
Um, her name was Taylor Parker.

790
00:46:02,634 --> 00:46:06,095
{\an8}Very, uh, polite young lady,
you know, real…

791
00:46:06,096 --> 00:46:09,433
Pretty, uh-- She was a lot
like Reagan to me.

792
00:46:11,351 --> 00:46:12,935
[woman 2] The moments she captured

793
00:46:12,936 --> 00:46:16,022
of Reagan and the wedding
were absolutely beautiful,

794
00:46:16,023 --> 00:46:19,192
and Taylor made sure she greeted everybody

795
00:46:19,193 --> 00:46:22,862
{\an8}and told everyone who she was
and what she was doing there.

796
00:46:22,863 --> 00:46:24,322
And-- And it didn't feel

797
00:46:24,323 --> 00:46:28,075
like she was just some random stranger
none of us had ever met.

798
00:46:28,076 --> 00:46:30,495
Almost felt like she was a bridesmaid
at one point,

799
00:46:30,496 --> 00:46:32,122
'cause she was in all of our selfies.

800
00:46:32,706 --> 00:46:35,833
[Jessica] I asked about her.
"Who is she? Where is she from?"

801
00:46:35,834 --> 00:46:39,420
Reagan had mentioned that she was
going through some difficulties

802
00:46:39,421 --> 00:46:41,756
with her ex-husband,
I believe is what she said.

803
00:46:41,757 --> 00:46:45,927
She was just kind of having a hard time,
and Reagan was trying to include her

804
00:46:45,928 --> 00:46:47,929
to kind of take her mind off of that.

805
00:46:47,930 --> 00:46:51,599
So they had gotten close, closer,
you know, more acquainted

806
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,142
throughout this process,

807
00:46:53,143 --> 00:46:57,396
and so Reagan invited her to hang out
with everybody after the reception.

808
00:46:57,397 --> 00:46:59,900
She made her feel
like just one of us girls.

809
00:47:01,401 --> 00:47:04,111
And I still look
at all of those photos today

810
00:47:04,112 --> 00:47:07,865
because of how spectacular that day was,

811
00:47:07,866 --> 00:47:10,076
and Taylor as a person,

812
00:47:10,077 --> 00:47:13,539
you would have never known her

01:06:35,449 --> 01:06:37,909
So I didn't argue with her no more.

1139
01:06:37,910 --> 01:06:40,912
{\an8}I went and loaded the hogs up, and I left.

1140
01:06:40,913 --> 01:06:42,915
{\an8}[suspenseful music intensifies]

1141
01:06:44,250 --> 01:06:46,710
It probably took me
four and a half hours or something

1142
01:06:46,711 --> 01:06:48,670
to get up there from my house.

1143
01:06:48,671 --> 01:06:51,256
I pulled in, and he told me, he said,

1144
01:06:51,257 --> 01:06:53,758
"I didn't order--
I didn't order no hogs today."

1145
01:06:53,759 --> 01:06:56,136
I said, "There's no way.
You texted me this morning."

1146
01:06:56,137 --> 01:06:57,221
[phone chimes]

1147
01:06:58,681 --> 01:07:00,140
He said, "I didn't text nobody."

1148
01:07:00,141 --> 01:07:03,144
I said, "You didn't text me
from this number?" I pulled out my phone.

1149
01:07:04,020 --> 01:07:06,062
He said, "That's not my number."

1150
01:07:06,063 --> 01:07:08,690
I said, "Did you not talk
to Taylor about some hogs?"

1151
01:07:08,691 --> 01:07:10,108
He said, "Yeah, weeks ago."

1152
01:07:10,109 --> 01:07:13,069
"I quit texting her." And he said,
"I didn't follow up with nothing."

1153
01:07:13,070 --> 01:07:16,531
I said, "Well, who in the world
would've texted me from this number then?"

1154
01:07:16,532 --> 01:07:18,116
He said, "Man, I don't know."

1155
01:07:18,117 --> 01:07:19,368
[telephone rings]

1156
01:07:20,953 --> 01:07:22,537
[Jessica] I went to work.

1157
01:07:22,538 --> 01:07:25,290
I was in my office, and Homer called me.

1158
01:07:25,291 --> 01:07:28,293
He said, "Miss Jessica,
have you talked to Reagan this morning?"

1159
01:07:28,294 --> 01:07:29,461
I said, "No."

1160
01:07:29,462 --> 01:07:30,421
He said, "Well,

1161
01:07:31,547 --> 01:07:36,009
she's texting me, but it's…
It doesn't… It's not like her."

1162
01:07:36,010 --> 01:07:37,844
And I was like, "Well, what do you mean?"

1163
01:07:37,845 --> 01:07:41,056
He said, "Well, after she stopped texting,
I've been trying to call her,

1164
01:07:41,057 --> 01:07:42,223
and she won't answer."

1165
01:07:42,224 --> 01:07:44,935
I said, "Is she at work?"
He said, "They haven't heard from her."

1166
01:07:45,895 --> 01:07:49,647
[Marcus] It was my day off from work.
My friend Chris had come over.

1167
01:07:49,648 --> 01:07:51,524
Uh, I mean, it just seemed
like a normal day.

1168
01:07:51,525 --> 01:07:55,278
And then Jessica called me
and said that Reagan wasn't answering.

1169
01:07:55,279 --> 01:07:58,741
I said, "Well, we're fixing to go
to town anyway. I'll head that way."

1170
01:08:00,117 --> 01:08:02,535
We were about halfway there,
and she called me back,

1171
01:08:02,536 --> 01:08:04,871
and said our grandbaby's
not at the daycare.

1172
01:08:04,872 --> 01:08:06,498
She sounded frantic.

1173
01:08:06,499 --> 01:08:08,209
So she headed to the house.

1174
01:08:09,710 --> 01:08:12,712
[Jessica] As I'm getting to Reagan's road
and turn onto it,

1175
01:08:12,713 --> 01:08:15,841
I see their house,
and the garage door is open.

1176
01:08:16,342 --> 01:08:18,009
Well, that worried me,

1177
01:08:18,010 --> 01:08:20,887
because they never leave
their garage door open.

1178
01:08:20,888 --> 01:08:23,348
As I get out of my car,

1179
01:08:23,349 --> 01:08:27,102
I'm walking,
and I see these little red streaks.

1180
01:08:27,103 --> 01:08:29,687
And I thought,
"Well, the dog must have hurt its foot."

1181
01:08:29,688 --> 01:08:31,649
And so that's what I was seeing.

1182
01:08:32,650 --> 01:08:37,488
And I kind of opened the door,
and I saw a bloody footprint.

1183
01:08:38,656 --> 01:08:40,323
And I shut the door.

1184
01:08:40,324 --> 01:08:42,492
And as I kinda stepped back,
and I thought,

1185
01:08:42,493 --> 01:08:44,869
"No, if she's in there and she's hurt

1186
01:08:44,870 --> 01:08:49,125
or, you know, she can't answer me,
I need to go in."

1187
01:08:51,001 --> 01:08:53,378
[woman] <i>New Boston, 911.
What's your emergency?</i>

1188
01:08:53,379 --> 01:08:56,339
[Jessica wailing]

1189
01:08:56,340 --> 01:08:59,259
- [woman] <i>Ma'am. Ma'am?</i>
- [Jessica wails]

1190
01:08:59,260 --> 01:09:02,428
{\an8}<i>Help me. My daughter's been murdered.</i>

1191
01:09:02,429 --> 01:09:04,556
{\an8}[woman] <i>Okay, where are you located at?</i>

1192
01:09:04,557 --> 01:09:08,560
[Jessica] <i>At…</i> [beeps] Street. [beeps]

1193
01:09:08,561 --> 01:09:10,186
{\an8}- [woman] <i>In New Boston?</i>
- [Jessica] <i>Yeah.</i>

1194
01:09:10,187 --> 01:09:11,521
{\an8}[woman] <i>What happened?</i>

1195
01:09:11,522 --> 01:09:13,940
{\an8}[Jessica] <i>I don't know.
Somebody got in her house.</i>

1196
01:09:13,941 --> 01:09:16,025
<i>- She's dead!</i>
- [woman] <i>Okay.</i>

1197
01:09:16,026 --> 01:09:18,404
[Jessica] <i>She's dead!</i> [echoes]

1198
01:09:20,406 --> 01:09:21,490
[car door closes]

1199
01:09:23,909 --> 01:09:26,453
[Taylor] No, I can't.
There's something wrong with her.

1200
01:09:27,371 --> 01:09:29,455
- [trooper] What's wrong, ma'am?
- I had my baby.

1201
01:09:29,456 --> 01:09:32,292
And I'm trying to get to Idabel Hospital
where my husband--

1202
01:09:32,293 --> 01:09:34,837
- [trooper] Idabel?
- Yeah, my husband's up there.

1203
01:09:35,462 --> 01:09:38,381
He was delivering hogs
right outside of Idabel.

1204
01:09:38,382 --> 01:09:41,260
That's why I was trying to get to him.
Can you call my husband?

1205
01:09:42,094 --> 01:09:44,721
- [trooper] Yes.
- [man on phone] <i>How old's the baby, ma'am?</i>

1206
01:09:44,722 --> 01:09:48,141
The baby's only, like,
maybe 35 minutes old.

1207
01:09:48,142 --> 01:09:50,102
[trooper] I'm gonna give
the phone back to her.

1208
01:09:50,811 --> 01:09:53,438
[dispatch] <i>She was flying down the road.
You stopped her or what?</i>

1209
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,065
[trooper] She was driving down the road,
passing on the shoulder.

1210
01:09:56,066 --> 01:09:59,110
She had her hazards on.
She ran over a bird.

1211
01:09:59,111 --> 01:10:01,029
It's still on-- uh, in the grille here.

1212
01:10:01,030 --> 01:10:03,032
[eerie music plays]

1213
01:10:03,824 --> 01:10:05,909
Did a name come back on that 27?
Her name's Taylor.

1214
01:10:05,910 --> 01:10:07,453
I don't have her last name.

1215
01:10:09,371 --> 01:10:13,083
[dispatch] <i>Uh, the car is r-- registered
to Wade Griffin.</i>

1216
01:10:13,834 --> 01:10:16,670
[trooper] I think he's already
in Oklahoma, uh, working.

1217
01:10:17,421 --> 01:10:19,047
So he's already…

1218
01:10:19,048 --> 01:10:20,299
[Wade] She called me.

1219
01:10:20,883 --> 01:10:23,636
She said she's having the baby
on the side of the road.

1220
01:10:24,386 --> 01:10:26,805
How quick could I get to the hospital?

1221
01:10:27,389 --> 01:10:29,099
{\an8}- [Wade on phone] <i>Hello?</i>
- Where you at?

1222
01:10:29,683 --> 01:10:33,519
{\an8}[Wade on phone] <i>I'm trying-- I'm trying
to get these, um, these hogs moved.</i>

1223
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:34,480
{\an8}<i>What's up?</i>

1224
01:10:34,980 --> 01:10:39,318
{\an8}We're-- We're going to the hospital.
We're going to Titus.

1225
01:10:41,654 --> 01:10:44,239
[Wade] <i>All right, well,
let me finish what I'm doing.</i>

1226
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:45,658
<i>I'll call you right back.</i>

1227
01:10:46,325 --> 01:10:47,533
Okay?

1228
01:10:47,534 --> 01:10:48,826
[Wade on phone] <i>All right. Bye.</i>

1229
01:10:48,827 --> 01:10:50,078
I'm sorry.

1230
01:10:50,079 --> 01:10:52,080
I was like, "This has got to be a joke."

1231
01:10:52,081 --> 01:10:55,500
[medic] So you was-- you was on your way
to Idabel to have the baby?

1232
01:10:55,501 --> 01:10:56,793
- [Taylor] Yeah.
- [medic] Okay.

1233
01:10:56,794 --> 01:10:59,295
- [Taylor blubbering]
- [medic] Okay. It's all right.

1234
01:10:59,296 --> 01:11:01,839
Just relax, darling. [speaks indistinctly]

1235
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:03,800
[siren wails]

1236
01:11:03,801 --> 01:11:05,803
[man speaks indistinctly on radio]

1237
01:11:11,934 --> 01:11:14,394
[Jessica sobbing] <i>Reagan! Reagan!</i>

1238
01:11:14,395 --> 01:11:16,896
{\an8}When we pull up,
Jessica's in the driveway.

1239
01:11:16,897 --> 01:11:20,275
{\an8}She's on her hands and knees,
and she's just screaming.

1240
01:11:20,276 --> 01:11:22,403
You-- You know something's…

1241
01:11:23,362 --> 01:11:24,737
bad, bad, wrong.

1242
01:11:24,738 --> 01:11:26,447
She's hysterical.

1243
01:11:26,448 --> 01:11:30,326
I-- I-- I try to talk to her,
and she can't tell me anything.

1244
01:11:30,327 --> 01:11:31,869
She can't say anything.

1245
01:11:31,870 --> 01:11:33,288
Marcus is like, "What's wrong?"

1246
01:11:33,289 --> 01:11:36,917
And I said, "Just don't go in there.
Do not. Don't go in."

1247
01:11:37,918 --> 01:11:39,169
And, of course,

1248
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:41,130
I gotta know.

1249
01:11:41,714 --> 01:11:42,548
[gasps softly]

1250
01:11:43,632 --> 01:11:45,883
Marcus opens the door,

1251
01:11:45,884 --> 01:11:50,930
and he backs up,
and I can remember his face.

1252
01:11:50,931 --> 01:11:53,726
And… it's just pure terror.

1253
01:11:56,979 --> 01:11:58,939
And-- And I lost it.

1254
01:12:00,566 --> 01:12:03,026
I-- I started hollering.
I don't know what I said.

1255
01:12:03,027 --> 01:12:04,028
It-- It--

1256
01:12:04,987 --> 01:12:08,197
Worst thing you can imagine.
Worst thing I've ever seen in my life.

1257
01:12:08,198 --> 01:12:09,949
I'm still on the phone with 911,

1258
01:12:09,950 --> 01:12:13,661
and we realized her daughter
was in the house.

1259
01:12:13,662 --> 01:12:14,829
She's three years old.

1260
01:12:14,830 --> 01:12:16,706
[Marcus] So I head back to the door

1261
01:12:16,707 --> 01:12:20,001
and then started calling her name,
screaming it.

1262
01:12:20,002 --> 01:12:23,839
Uh, about the fourth or fifth time,
I heard something,

1263
01:12:24,923 --> 01:12:28,634
and-- and she finally spoke.

1264
01:12:28,635 --> 01:12:30,970
I turned around and looked at Chris.

1265
01:12:30,971 --> 01:12:33,057
I was gonna have to step over her
to get to her.

1266
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:34,600
Uh…

1267
01:12:35,392 --> 01:12:36,894
And I knew I couldn't do it.

1268
01:12:37,644 --> 01:12:39,771
So I go back in to the kitchen area,

1269
01:12:39,772 --> 01:12:42,482
and I had to step over Reagan

1270
01:12:42,483 --> 01:12:46,444
and-- and walk through the whole… scene.

1271
01:12:46,445 --> 01:12:49,655
And I'm looking in the rooms as I go back,
and I get to the very last bedroom.

1272
01:12:49,656 --> 01:12:54,202
And Reagan's daughter is sitting,
and when I walk into the room,

1273
01:12:54,203 --> 01:12:57,122
she reflexes and draws the covers up.

1274
01:12:57,790 --> 01:13:00,208
And then she notices, recognized me.

1275
01:13:00,209 --> 01:13:05,129
And she jumped up and just ran
and jumped off the bed.

1276
01:13:05,130 --> 01:13:06,297
I had to catch her.

1277
01:13:06,298 --> 01:13:08,841
About that time,
the police officers pulled up.

1278
01:13:08,842 --> 01:13:11,677
I meet the first one,
and I'm like, "Listen, she's pregnant."

1279
01:13:11,678 --> 01:13:13,012
"I don't know…"

1280
01:13:13,013 --> 01:13:15,515
"I don't know if the baby survived or not,
but she's pregnant."

1281
01:13:15,516 --> 01:13:18,936
"I don't know how long this has been.
You know, just please know that."

1282
01:13:21,855 --> 01:13:24,233
[cop 1] We need to know
whether the baby's in there or not.

1283
01:13:25,067 --> 01:13:27,611
'Cause there's an awful lot
of blood everywhere.

1284
01:13:29,279 --> 01:13:32,698
[cop 2] The only way we can
know that is to-- is to roll her over.

1285
01:13:32,699 --> 01:13:33,659
[cop 1] Okay.

1286
01:13:35,744 --> 01:13:37,912
- [cop 3] There's no baby in there.
- [cop 2] No.

1287
01:13:37,913 --> 01:13:39,997
[cop 3] No. There's no baby in there.

1288
01:13:39,998 --> 01:13:42,000
[ethereal music plays]

1289
01:13:42,918 --> 01:13:44,544
[cop 1] So she was pregnant?

1290
01:13:44,545 --> 01:13:46,630
[man] Yes, 36 weeks.

1291
01:13:55,889 --> 01:13:59,225
My brother called me and said,
"Hey, there's some stuff on Facebook

1292
01:13:59,226 --> 01:14:01,978
and it said that the baby
had been taken from her."

1293
01:14:01,979 --> 01:14:07,484
"New Boston Expecting Mother Murdered.
Baby Cut from Womb."

1294
01:14:08,068 --> 01:14:11,572
That's how we found out
that that's what happened to her.

1295

She refuses to have a vaginal check

1298
01:14:21,457 --> 01:14:23,458
to make sure she's not hemorrhaging.

1299
01:14:23,459 --> 01:14:26,169
They've done an ultrasound and HCG,

1300
01:14:26,170 --> 01:14:28,171

that she's been pregnant.

1301

- No.

01:14:35,262 --> 01:14:37,013
- This is a big deal.
- [cop 1] Yeah.

1306
01:14:37,014 --> 01:14:39,140
[nurse on phone] Okay, yes. Are you ready?

1307
01:14:39,141 --> 01:14:42,728
[cop 1] If there's anything
you need to talk to us about, you can.

1308
01:14:43,770 --> 01:14:47,148
I don't know what everybody
wants me to talk about.

1309
01:14:47,149 --> 01:14:49,067
You gave birth to this child?

1310
01:14:50,277 --> 01:14:51,695
Yes. I--

1311
01:14:52,988 --> 01:14:54,655
[cop 1] We're just making sure.

1312
01:14:54,656 --> 01:14:57,867
{\an8}Did I do something wrong
for them bringing me over here?

1313
01:14:57,868 --> 01:14:59,869
[cop 1] What did you have?
A boy or a girl?

1314
01:14:59,870 --> 01:15:01,954
- A girl.
- [cop 1] A girl. Okay.

1315
01:15:01,955 --> 01:15:03,206
Picked out a name yet?

1316
01:15:03,207 --> 01:15:04,457
Clancy Gaile.

1317
01:15:04,458 --> 01:15:06,043
- Clancy Gaile.
- [cop 1] Clancy Gaile.

1318
01:15:06,919 --> 01:15:08,712

- [cop 1] All right.

1319
01:15:09,379 --> 01:15:10,671
Let's see.

1320
01:15:10,672 --> 01:15:11,924
[Chad] So we'll jump out.

1321
01:15:12,508 --> 01:15:13,549
[doctor] Sit you up.

1322
01:15:13,550 --> 01:15:15,676
All right. Well, let me have
them sit you up there

1323

where I can see what I'm doing.

1324
01:15:21,683 --> 01:15:26,063
So it surely doesn't look
like a baby came out of there.

1325
01:15:27,689 --> 01:15:29,815
I didn't-- It doesn't look
like she had a baby.

1326
01:15:29,816 --> 01:15:30,942
- [cop 1] It doesn't?
- No.

1327
01:15:30,943 --> 01:15:31,943
[cop 1] Okay.

1328
01:15:31,944 --> 01:15:34,904
Does not look
like she had a baby down there.

1329

Hey, Taylor. So what happened?

1333

Nothing happened.

1334
01:15:49,711 --> 01:15:51,088
You didn't give birth.

1335
01:15:51,588 --> 01:15:55,550
We're past all this nonsense
about "I wasn't there."

1336
01:15:55,551 --> 01:15:58,594
"I didn't kill nobody."
We're past all of that.

1337
01:15:58,595 --> 01:16:00,888
We know it. We know you did it.

1338
01:16:00,889 --> 01:16:04,684
The bottom line is these cases
are actually pretty simple.

1339
01:16:04,685 --> 01:16:06,394
Murder cases are pretty simple.

1340
01:16:06,395 --> 01:16:09,982

when, where, and why.

1341
01:16:13,944 --> 01:16:16,821
[Wade] When I got there,
I asked 'em at the front desk,

1342
01:16:16,822 --> 01:16:19,992
I said, "You know
where I can find Taylor Parker at?"

1343
01:16:21,785 --> 01:16:24,203
And she just kind of looked
at me for a second

1344
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:26,706
and then paused
and then pointed down the hall,

1345
01:16:26,707 --> 01:16:29,208
and she said,
"Right down here to the right."

1346
01:16:29,209 --> 01:16:32,461
And I walked down there
to the end of the hall and hung a right.

1347
01:16:32,462 --> 01:16:35,840
That's whenever there was
three officers walking towards me,

1348
01:16:35,841 --> 01:16:38,467
come up to me, ask me was I Wade Griffin.

1349
01:16:38,468 --> 01:16:40,928
They said,
"We're gonna restrain you for a little bit

1350
01:16:40,929 --> 01:16:43,724
and take you in
to ask you some questions."

1351
01:16:45,100 --> 01:16:47,935

that there's someone in custody

1352
01:16:47,936 --> 01:16:49,730

[handcuffs clicking]

1354
01:16:54,318 --> 01:16:57,612
One of our friends said,
"Hey, do you know Taylor Parker?"

1355
01:16:57,613 --> 01:17:00,281
And I'm like,
"Homer, do you know Taylor Parker?"

1356
01:17:00,282 --> 01:17:02,908
And he's like, "Yeah,
she was just at our house last night."

1357
01:17:02,909 --> 01:17:05,286
I said, "Well, they're saying
that it's her."

1358
01:17:05,287 --> 01:17:06,621
He's like, "There's no way."

1359
01:17:06,622 --> 01:17:09,833
He said, "She was just at our house
last night. They were talking."

1360
01:17:12,169 --> 01:17:15,464
And I heard Jessica say that she was
the photographer at the wedding.

- In jail?
- Mm-hmm.

1374

Best we can tell, um…

1375
01:18:06,973 --> 01:18:09,725
looks like she killed a woman
and cut her baby out of her.

1376
01:18:09,726 --> 01:18:12,062
And then passed it off as being hers.

1377

- Mm-hmm.

1378

Yep.

Is the baby alive?

1380
01:18:19,736 --> 01:18:22,656
No. No, it died up here.

Mm-hmm. Yep.

how to explain it.

is a liar and a master manipulator…</i>

1457
01:23:27,043 --> 01:23:29,420
[reporter 1] A real estate agent
said she tried to pull off

1458
01:23:29,421 --> 01:23:31,422
a $20 million real estate deal.

1459
01:23:31,423 --> 01:23:35,135
We didn't know until after the murder

1460
01:23:35,719 --> 01:23:40,473
that all of the people
that we were trying to make contact with

1461
01:23:41,141 --> 01:23:42,266
didn't exist.

1462
01:23:42,267 --> 01:23:45,144
[Rusty] "Shelly Linx with Shell Oil."

1463
01:23:45,145 --> 01:23:47,646
"Blake Lawington, that's my lawyer."

1464
01:23:47,647 --> 01:23:48,939
"Uncle Butch."

1465
01:23:48,940 --> 01:23:54,153
Everybody's just profiled in there
way too conveniently.

1466
01:23:54,154 --> 01:23:56,155
[male voice] <i>Hey, Taylor,
I was giving you a call.</i>

1467
01:23:56,156 --> 01:23:59,575
<i>Got a voicemail from Angela
that said that apparently…</i>

1468
01:23:59,576 --> 01:24:05,164
From multiple phones
to voice-altering apparatus.

1469
01:24:05,165 --> 01:24:07,041
We just couldn't believe
what we were hearing.

1470
01:24:07,042 --> 01:24:11,336
The multiple phones
that she would text herself from,

1471
01:24:11,337 --> 01:24:13,964
the names she would use, the people,

1472
01:24:13,965 --> 01:24:15,799
just all of the lies.

1473
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,303
I still can't understand

1474
01:24:19,137 --> 01:24:21,931
how someone would think
that this was gonna work.

1475
01:24:23,016 --> 01:24:26,518
[reporter] <i>The defense called
Parker's mother Shona Prior to the stand,</i>

1476
01:24:26,519 --> 01:24:28,730
<i>and she testified
for a little over an hour.</i>

1477
01:24:33,651 --> 01:24:35,652
[Lindsey] Everything got revealed.

1478
01:24:35,653 --> 01:24:37,739
Pardon my language, like, "What the fuck?"

1479
01:24:38,281 --> 01:24:41,617
Like, how can one person keep up
with that many lies?

1480
01:24:41,618 --> 01:24:43,952
I would have to carry around
a three-ring binder.

1481
01:24:43,953 --> 01:24:47,540
Everything was a lie.
<i>Everything</i> was a lie.

1482
01:24:50,126 --> 01:24:51,795
[sobs] I remember

1483
01:24:53,129 --> 01:24:56,257
pushing her off me.

1484
01:24:58,093 --> 01:25:01,845
- And she grabbed my hair and hit me.
- [detective sighs]

1485
01:25:01,846 --> 01:25:06,183
And she said,
"You need to wake up. You are lying."

1486
01:25:06,184 --> 01:25:09,937
[reporter] <i>Videos of her police interviews
were shown to the court Wednesday,</i>

1487
01:25:09,938 --> 01:25:12,898
<i>and the investigator who conducted
those interviews testified</i>

1488
01:25:12,899 --> 01:25:15,484
<i>that Parker told wildly different stories.</i>

1489
01:25:15,485 --> 01:25:17,069
- I did not do that!
- [detective] Okay.

1490
01:25:17,070 --> 01:25:18,987
I would admit to something that I did do.

1491
01:25:18,988 --> 01:25:20,697
Okay. Well, I'm just telling you,

1492
01:25:20,698 --> 01:25:23,117
the evidence is there,
it's linked back to you.

1493
01:25:23,118 --> 01:25:24,201
What the fuck?!

1494
01:25:24,202 --> 01:25:26,495
I'm trying to understand
why you did it that day.

1495
01:25:26,496 --> 01:25:29,832
I don't wanna talk about this anymore.
I really don't. [laughs]

1496
01:25:29,833 --> 01:25:31,792
- I understand.
- I don't know. I don't…

1497
01:25:31,793 --> 01:25:34,086
This is-- This is difficult.

1498
01:25:34,087 --> 01:25:36,463
[sobs] I don't want
to talk about this anymore.

1499
01:25:36,464 --> 01:25:41,051
All she did was lay there
and talk to me when I cut her.

1500
01:25:41,052 --> 01:25:43,011
- When you cut her?
- Yes.

1501
01:25:43,012 --> 01:25:44,930
And what did she talk about?

1502
01:25:44,931 --> 01:25:47,641
She just said to take…
She was screaming, "Take her out!"

1503
01:25:47,642 --> 01:25:48,560
What does that mean?

1504
01:25:49,310 --> 01:25:50,811
Take the baby out. Take her out.

1505
01:25:50,812 --> 01:25:53,313
- "Take her out."
- She was screaming at me to take her out.

1506
01:25:53,314 --> 01:25:56,483
- "Her" being the baby.
- She was like, "I'm finished. I'm dying."

1507
01:25:56,484 --> 01:25:58,861
- Okay.
- She was talking to me.

1508
01:25:58,862 --> 01:25:59,778
All right.

1509
01:25:59,779 --> 01:26:03,365
[sobs] But y'all can paint
whatever picture you want.

1510
01:26:03,366 --> 01:26:05,117
You can't tell me this woman said,

1511
01:26:05,118 --> 01:26:09,413
"Take my baby and leave,"
and expect me to believe that.

1512
01:26:09,414 --> 01:26:13,625
I was certified as the expert
in OB-GYN for the trial,

1513
01:26:13,626 --> 01:26:18,380
and, uh, even I kind of broke down
on the-- on the stand

1514
01:26:18,381 --> 01:26:20,008
because of how she did it.

1515
01:26:20,592 --> 01:26:24,845
She actually cut behind the uterus
to cut the baby out.

1516
01:26:24,846 --> 01:26:28,850
She flipped the uterus entirely forward
after cutting into the patient's belly.

1517
01:26:31,769 --> 01:26:33,896
It had to be extremely painful.

1518
01:26:33,897 --> 01:26:37,274
I would not know
how anybody could ever do that.

1519
01:26:37,275 --> 01:26:39,485
[detective] You got Wade out of town.

1520
01:26:40,403 --> 01:26:42,739
You made sure Reagan was at home.

1521
01:26:43,573 --> 01:26:47,285
You went to her house
with a diaper bag and a scalpel.

1522
01:26:47,827 --> 01:26:50,287
You got your baby, Wade believed you,

1523
01:26:50,288 --> 01:26:51,997
you proved all these people wrong

1524
01:26:51,998 --> 01:26:55,168
that said you were lying
for the last ten months.

1525
01:26:57,462 --> 01:26:59,297
And you had your "aha" moment…

1526
01:27:01,341 --> 01:27:03,050
at the expense of that.

01:27:10,099 --> 01:27:12,310

1539

{\an8}Because she has been such a burden
in our life for so long now

1540

I guess she was hoping
one day I'd finally…

1548
01:28:34,267 --> 01:28:36,769
I'd finally tell her, you know,

1549
01:28:37,645 --> 01:28:40,189
that I loved her,
but I never-- I never did.

1550

I love him dearly,

They avoid him.

They-- They turn and walk the other way,

I went over there,

1564
01:29:34,494 --> 01:29:37,204
He… [sighs] He said,
"Man, I should have believed you."

1565
01:29:37,205 --> 01:29:39,456
And I said,
"Shit, that's beside the point."

1566
01:29:39,457 --> 01:29:41,626
"We ain't worried about that now."
You know?

1567
01:29:42,502 --> 01:29:46,297
I think everybody that was intimately
involved with that situation feels

1568
01:29:47,173 --> 01:29:49,342
some guilt that will never go away.

1569
01:29:49,842 --> 01:29:53,303
I wouldn't be able to look

we kind of want to avoid each other.

Because you don't want
to relive that memory.

1575
01:30:08,736 --> 01:30:10,571
But it's there, and it's…

1576

A-- A child is physically
part of you, physically.

1580

You know, not just emotionally,
not just this little thing you raised.

They grew inside of you.

1582

And, um, oh, man, the day she died…

1583
01:30:44,522 --> 01:30:46,815
I've never felt anything like that.

And, uh, it's not coming back.

1588
01:30:58,703 --> 01:31:02,664
The Jessica that I used to be…
[sobs] …is gone,

1589
01:31:02,665 --> 01:31:06,252
and the part that's left is a part
that I never knew was there.

1590
01:31:06,752 --> 01:31:12,132
You know, when I found her
in the days and weeks after that,

1591
01:31:12,133 --> 01:31:18,722
it was like I had to tell myself,
"Yes, she was real. Yes, she was here."

…her wedding day, and…

1598
01:31:44,749 --> 01:31:46,918
I was scared to hire a photographer.

1599
01:31:49,545 --> 01:31:52,924
When everything first happened in 2020,

1600
01:31:53,758 --> 01:31:55,468
I prayed she'd go to hell.

1601
01:31:56,427 --> 01:31:57,385
I really did.

1602
01:31:57,386 --> 01:32:00,514
That's what I wanted,
and I was strong believe on that.

1603
01:32:00,515 --> 01:32:03,309
And a preacher told me…

1604
01:32:05,269 --> 01:32:06,979
"Everyone can be forgiven."

1605
01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:10,233
"Just not by us."

1606
01:32:10,900 --> 01:32:14,445
Her just answering to God
is all I'm asking at this point.

1607
01:32:15,446 --> 01:32:19,491
If she does ask God for forgiveness,

1608
01:32:19,492 --> 01:32:21,452
I pray that she means it.

1609
01:32:23,955 --> 01:32:28,000
Because… for a demon like her,

1610
01:32:29,210 --> 01:32:30,836
a demon like Taylor,

1611
01:32:32,255 --> 01:32:33,923
hell would be easy.
