TEXARKANA, Texas - A woman accused of murdering a mother and taking the victim's unborn child earlier this month owes thousands in back child support to the father of a son she gave birth to in 2013.
According to a motion filed Oct. 19 in Bowie County by the Texas Attorney General's Office, Taylor Rene Parker, aka Taylor Morton and Taylor Wacasey, 27, was ordered to pay $225 monthly in child support beginning March 1, 2018, in a final divorce decree that names her as Taylor Wacasey. The motion alleges Parker has failed to make a single payment toward the support of her son and is $7,689 delinquent in payments and interest.
Bowie County court records show Parker divorced a man with the last name Wacasey in March 2018 and was granted a marriage license to wed Hunter Parker the following month. In July 2019, Taylor Parker's marriage to Hunter Parker ended in divorce in Bowie county.
No children were born of that marriage. Parker reportedly has a daughter who is older than her son and who has a different father.
The motion concerning Parker's support of her son was filed 10 days after her arrest for capital murder, murder and kidnapping in the deaths of Reagan Simmons Hancock, 21, and her unborn daughter, Braxlynn Sage Hancock.
Taylor Parker was taken into custody Oct. 9 at a hospital in McCurtain County, Oklahoma. Reagan Hancock was 34 weeks into her pregnancy when Parker allegedly attacked her in her New Boston home, cut the baby from her womb and left with the child.
The baby, six 6 weeks short of full term, was pronounced dead at the hospital. A Texas state trooper who pulled Parker over at about 9:37 a.m. in DeKalb on the morning of Oct. 9 reported that Parker had the infant in her lap, claiming to have delivered the child roadside, according to a probable-cause affidavit.
Last week, 202nd District Judge John Tidwell appointed Texarkana lawyer Jeff Harrelson to defend Parker. Parker is being held in the Bowie County jail with bail set at $5 million.
If convicted of capital murder, Parker faces life without the possibility of parole or death by lethal injection.
