VICTIM: Reagan Hancock had been expecting a second child with her husband Homer, whom she married in 2019 and shared a three-year-old daughter

She then drove away and, according to Texas Rangers, was stopped at around 10am on the side of the road in De Kalb, Texas. It's unclear why she was stopped but she told the police officer she had just given birth to the baby. 

An ambulance was called and she was taken to McCurtain Memorial Hospital, over the state line, in Oklahoma. 

After Hancock's body was found in her home, Parker was arrested. 

She is now in custody in Idabel, Oklahoma, on murder charges. It's unclear what her motive would be for killing her friend and trying to steal the baby. 

According to her social media pages, Parker already had her own children.

Hancock had a three-year-old daughter with her husband, Homer. 

Her family are still grieving her death. They are also at a loss over why she was murdered.
