In October 2020, a heinous crime shocked America. Renee Taylor Parker gruesomely killed heavily pregnant Michelle Simons-Hancock to take her unborn baby in New Boston, Texas.

Parker, now 29, stabbed 21-year-old Hancock to death with 100 knives and melted her head with a hammer.

He then opened her abdomen with a knife, took out the fetus – a girl – left and left the 21-year-old to die in front of her 3-year-old child.

The premature baby died a few hours later.

Parker – although she has pleaded not guilty – was yesterday unanimously sentenced to death by a Bundy County jury.

According to prosecutors Parker – pretended to be pregnant for months so she wouldn’t lose her boyfriend.

She was already a mother of two, but had undergone hysterectomy surgery, meaning she could not have any more children.

Parker pretended to be pregnant for almost 10 months with fake ultrasounds – even a gender reveal party – while searching for a victim.

He tracked down Hancock, befriended her, and when he couldn’t pretend to be pregnant anymore, decided to take her baby.
