Taylor Parker spent months convincing everyone around her that she was pregnant. The lie would end in one of the most shocking and disturbing crimes in recent history. In this episode, forensic psychologist Dr. John Matthias reacts to Netflix's 'Maternal Instinct', breaking down Taylor Parker's psychology, reported diagnoses, compulsive deception, and the motivations that may have led to the murder of Reagan Simmons-Hancock and the theft of her unborn child. Lauren and Dr. John discuss what Netflix got right, what was left out, and the psychological red flags that appeared long before the crime. How does someone become so invested in a false reality that they're willing to destroy multiple lives to maintain it?
