A woman accused of killing her heavily pregnant friend and cutting the unborn baby from her womb has been extradited back to Texas to face murder charges.
Taylor Parker, 27, was arrested last week after Reagan Simmons-Hancock, 21, was found dead at home in the city of New Boston, 160 miles northeast of Dallas, last Friday.
Parker was later stopped by a state trooper around 12 miles from the crime scene, where she claimed she had just gone into labour by the side of the road but the baby was not breathing.
The pair were rushed to a hospital just over the Oklahoma state line where doctors confirmed Parker had not given birth and the premature infant, named Braxlynn Sage, could not be revived.
Mrs Hancock married husband Homer last year, and the couple were already parents to a three-year-old daughter.
She had clearly been excited by the prospect of becoming a mother, and shared a photo of an ultrasound scan before her murder.
Taylor was initially being held at a jail in Idabel, Oklahoma, but has now been transferred to a facility in Texarkana, Texas.
It is unclear what her motive may have been, with reports suggesting she had allegedly lied to her partner about being pregnant with her own child.
She was jailed without bond on capital murder, murder and kidnapping charges in the deaths of Mrs Hancock and her stolen baby.
Punishment on conviction for capital murder in Texas includes the death penalty.
No attorney was listed for Parker in online jail records Wednesday.
