Taylor Renee Parker, the youngest woman on Texas Death Row, is the subject of a new Netflix documentary, Maternal Instinct. The documentary examines her case and the events that led to her conviction.
Who is Taylor Parker?
Taylor Parker is a young Texas woman with a heavy accent who was willing to lie, manipulate, and eventually brutally murder her way into getting what she wanted. Her lies were easily disproven, and the real horror of this story is that everyone saw something coming, but no one was able to stop it from happening.
The documentary does a great job of giving the survivors of Taylor’s mayhem a voice. It also sheds light on the tragic story of Wade, Taylor’s then-boyfriend, who was deeply affected by her manipulations.
