The baby-snatching murderer at the center of Netflix’s latest true-crime sensation looks almost unrecognizable in newly surfaced photos.

Taylor Parker, sentenced to death for the brutal murder of a young expectant mother and the horrific removal of her unborn child, now appears with sunken cheeks and a haunted, gaunt face — a stark contrast to her appearance before her conviction.

The shocking transformation has drawn renewed attention as Parker’s gruesome crimes are revisited in Netflix’s hit documentary “Maternal Instinct.”

The three-part series has quickly climbed Netflix’s rankings, introducing a new audience to one of the most disturbing murder cases in recent Texas history.

Parker, now 34, is serving time on death row for the October 2020 killing of Reagan Simmons-Hancock, a 21-year-old mother who was 35 weeks pregnant with her second child.

Hancock and her husband, Homer, were preparing for the arrival of their daughter, Braxlynn Sage Hancock.

Prosecutors allege Parker spent months constructing an elaborate lie about being pregnant after a series of medical procedures left her unable to have more children.

Already a mother of two, Parker had previously undergone a sterilization procedure before suffering from severe medical complications that resulted in an emergency hysterectomy.

Despite being unable to conceive, Parker allegedly continued telling her boyfriend, friends, and family that she was pregnant.

Jurors later heard she documented the fake pregnancy online, shared baby updates and even planned for the arrival of a child that didn’t exist.

As her so-called due date approached in the fall of 2020, investigators said Parker became increasingly desperate to have a baby.

On Oct. 9, 2020, she went to Hancock’s home under the pretense of picking up baby clothes.

Trial testimony revealed Hancock was stabbed more than 100 times before Parker cut the unborn baby from her womb in an apparent attempt to pass the child off as her own.

A scalpel was later found lodged in Hancock’s neck, according to testimony presented in court.

The scheme unraveled hours later when a Texas state trooper stopped Parker after spotting her driving erratically.

Authorities said Parker was covered in blood and holding the newborn child when she claimed she had given birth on the side of the road.

Doctors immediately determined that it was impossible after finding no evidence that she had recently delivered a baby.

Investigators soon connected Parker to Hancock’s murder, while the newborn was declared deceased.

During Parker’s trial, jurors heard evidence that she had spent months researching pregnant women and carefully planning how to obtain an infant as her lies began catching up to her.

A Bowie County jury convicted Parker of capital murder in 2022 before sentencing her to death.

She is currently housed at the Patrick L. O’Daniel Unit in Gatesville — one of the few facilities that houses female death row inmates in Texas.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear one of Parker’s appeals, leaving her death sentence in place as she remains on death row awaiting execution.
