Summary

Jess Brooks calls 911 after finding her daughter lying face down in her bloody living room. Reagan Simmons Hancock, 21, and nearly 8 months pregnant with her second child, has a large slice across her stomach and the baby is gone. 

On a nearby roadway, a Texas State Trooper pulls over a car for speeding, and inside he finds Taylor Parker giving CPR to a newborn. Parker tells the trooper that she gave birth on the side of the road, but the baby isn't breathing.

Parker and the newborn are rushed to a hospital, where the baby died. It's also where Parker, who had seemingly just given birth, refused to be checked out by doctors. 

Now, Parker is on trial and charged with the murder of Hancock and the unborn child, and kidnapping.
