Beautiful, intriguing documentary; it is actually incredible what illnesses a person can have. She had, among other things, ASPD, a severe personality disorder... and a whole lot more.

And with Taylor, there were signs very early on that something was seriously wrong with her; her mother had known for a very long time. But in the US, it is not that simple to seek help if you don't really have a fat bank account.

I really found Taylor's husband to be a very weak character, who is definitely partly responsible as well.....

What an extremely bizarre story! I watched this documentary with horror and nausea. How can someone be as disturbed as the main character? I need a moment to recover from this.

In the end, she got what she deserved, and I am glad it turned out this way.

How bizarre this is. I have little more to say about it.

On October 9, 2020, a hysterical Taylor Parker is arrested and taken to a hospital. She claims she has just given birth to a daughter, but a gynecologist quickly realizes that Taylor is lying. This documentary uncovers the web of lies Taylor spun over a period of time through conversations with her primary (still living) victims. Partner (and alleged father) Wade Griffin is a colorless presence and limits the impact of this bizarre, shocking, and compelling crime story.
