Ep 20: Taylor Parker — She Faked a Pregnancy, Then She Took Someone Else's Baby | New Boston Texas 2020 | True Crime

At Taylor Parker's gender reveal party, something wasn't right. The bump didn't look right. The dates on Facebook didn't add up. The ultrasound she'd posted at twelve weeks showed a foetus that looked nothing like twelve weeks. Guests caught each other's eyes across the yard. A medical professional couldn't stop staring. Afterwards, calls were made. Texts were sent to local hospitals. Warnings were issued. Nobody could have predicted what was coming next. On October 9, 2020, in New Boston, Texas — a small town near the Arkansas border where everyone knows your business and you've all sat in the same church pews — Taylor Parker murdered 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock, who was 34 weeks pregnant. Then she cut Reagan's baby from her womb and drove away. This episode traces everything that came before: the years of faked illnesses, fabricated pregnancies, and a pattern of deception so elaborate and sustained it defies easy explanation. It also tells you who Reagan was — a young mother with a toddler, a life, and people who loved her. This is one of the most disturbing cases we've ever covered. Not because of the violence alone — but because of everything that led to it. ⚠️ Content warning: murder, foetal abduction, graphic violence, factitious disorder, infant death.

Ep 19: Tyler Hadley, Part 1 — He Killed His Parents With a Hammer, Then Threw a Party | Port St. Lucie 2011 | Florida True Crime

It's mid-July 2011 in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Sixty teenagers are packed into a house on Grandeur Avenue — red solo cups, warm beer, music thumping through the walls. The host is 17-year-old Tyler Hadley, and the party is everything he always wanted. His parents, Blake and Mary Jo Hadley, are in the master bedroom down the hall. Behind the locked door, underneath a pile of blood-soaked towels, is why they aren't coming out. Tyler had killed them both with a framing hammer hours earlier. Then he cleaned up, hid the bodies, and sent out the invites. Shawnee traces the story from the beginning: the suburb that promised more than it delivered, Tyler's diagnosis with Major Depressive Disorder, a cocktail of benzos, opioids and MDMA, a family trying to hold itself together, and the psychology of a teenager who felt, as he once put it, a step below everyone else. This is not a story about a monster. It's about how someone gets there — and what everyone around him missed. ⚠️ Content warning: murder of parents, drug use, teen violence, graphic crime scene detail.

RE POST Ep 18: Israel Keyes, Part 2 — The FBI Interrogations, the Confessions, and the Secrets He Took to His Grave | American Serial Killer

Israel Keyes agreed to talk to the FBI. He just didn't agree to tell them everything. After his arrest in 2012 for the abduction and murder of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig in Alaska, Keyes entered into a deal with investigators: he would confess — but on his terms, in his own time, with details released only as he chose. Over months of FBI interviews, he described murders stretching from Vermont to Texas to the Pacific Northwest, including the 2011 killing of Bill and Lorraine Currier in a house he'd never been to before that night. Then, on December 2, 2012, he was found dead in his cell. He had taken everything else with him. The FBI believes Keyes killed at least eleven people across at least ten states over more than a decade. Most of those victims have never been identified. His murder kits — buried in remote locations years in advance — may still be out there. Part Two covers the Samantha Koenig case, the FBI interrogation tapes, the Currier murders, what Keyes did and didn't confess to, and why this remains one of the most haunting open investigations in modern American true crime. ⚠️ Content warning: murder, kidnapping, sexual violence.

Ep 17: Israel Keyes, Part One

You're Killing Me — Episode: Israel Keyes, Part One He buried murder kits across the country years before he needed them. He flew into cities, rented cars under false names, and drove hundreds of miles to kill strangers he'd never met — people with no connection to him, no pattern, no motive anyone could trace. Israel Keyes didn't just commit murders. He engineered them. In Part One, we cover his early life, the ideology that shaped him, the years of meticulous planning, and the crimes that unfolded across the United States before anyone even knew there was a serial killer to look for. This is one of the most calculated killers in modern American history — and somehow, most people have never heard of him. Content warning: murder, kidnapping, sexual violence, child abuse, extremist ideology.

Ep 16: Betrayed From Birth: Shannon Matthews Was Missing for 24 Days — Then Police Found Out Who Took Her | True Crime UK

Five police officers are clearing a flat in Batley Carr, West Yorkshire. They've already searched 1,800 properties. This is just another one. Then Detective Constable Nick Townsend crouches beside a divan bed and hears a small voice coming from inside it. A nine-year-old girl wriggles out of a hidden slot in the base. Tear-streaked. Terrified. Blinking. She says: "I'm Shannon." Shannon Matthews had been missing for 24 days. The search had gripped the UK. A community of working-class women on a Dewsbury council estate had organised themselves into one of the most extraordinary missing-child campaigns the country had ever seen — fundraisers, search parties, TV appearances, tears. And then Shannon told the officer one more thing. He's under the bed. The man. He's where I was. What followed would freeze the room, break the community, and become one of the most shocking betrayals in modern British true crime. This week on You're Killing Me, Shawnee covers the kidnapping of Shannon Matthews — the case that asked who we extend sympathy to, who we believe, and what happens when the person who should protect you is the one who put you in danger.
