• 🔍 Her internet history revealed thousands of searches like "how to fake being pregnant" and "fake ultrasound photos."

A Sinister Plan Unfolds

• 🎯 She initially explored legal adoption but was dismissed, leading her to focus on Reagan Michelle Simmons Hancock, whose pregnancy she tracked online.
