On October 9, 2020 in the small town of De Kalb, TX with just over 1500 residents, 27 year old Taylor Parker calls police while she’s driving her boyfriend’s vehicle. She tells dispatch she needs an ambulance to take her to a hospital in Idabel, 35 minutes away. She needs to get to the hospital right away because she just had a baby. A state trooper finds a distraught Taylor in the driver’s side of the vehicle on the side of the road. The placenta was in Taylor’s pants, the umbilical cord was still attached, and her baby was not responsive.
At first to police, this seemed like a dire emergency for Taylor and her newborn baby. But then, things started feeling off. The state trooper noticed dried blood covering Taylor’s body head to toe, yet there was no blood in the car. Then, when she was taken to the Idabel hospital, Taylor refused a vaginal ultrasound. With the testing medical personnel were able to do, doctors quickly determined Taylor had not given birth.
Their hearts sank. Whose baby was this? What happened? And where was the mother? This is the story of Taylor Parker, Reagan Hancock, and Braxlynn Sage.
