Summary
The 2001 Murder Of 27-Year-Old Crystal Taylor And Her Unborn Son By Her Boyfriend Derek Paul Smyer Who Hired Skylar Moore To Kill Her
**KD IS NO LONGER WITH ORBITAL JIGSAW OR BLUBRRY**
This is the first part of a 3 part series. Pregnancy is one of the most vulnerable and riskiest times in a woman’s life. Homicide is one of the leading causes of death amongst pregnant women. We are going to discuss the case of Crystal Taylor, a 27 year old single mother who found herself pregnant by a man she was not involved in a serious relationship with, and he made it clear he was not interested in seeing this pregnancy brought to full term. But Crystal didn’t see it the same. She wanted this child, and with that, unbeknownst to her, she became a target, as we delve into the tragic story of Crystal, and how her murder nearly destroyed her family…and almost went unsolved.
