Escalating Violence: The Murder of Reagan Tokes

WEBVTT

00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:10.279
Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime
podcast where I tell stories of real crimes

2
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:14.880
with real victims, whose cases are
so shocking that many are left wondering how

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:25.320
is this even real? I use
my experiences in law enforcement corrections, and

4
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:30.079
combined with my years as a criminal
justice educator, dig deep into complex cases

5
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:51.119
of evil acts, some so evil
many feel they are unspeakable. Warning.

6
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.719
Unspeakable as intended for mature audiences.
If you are easily offended, then I'm

7
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.640
not your girl. Listening discretion is
advised. Hey, y'all, kJ back

8
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.600
here for another episode of Unspeakable?
What's going on? This is gonna be

9
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.000
episode twelve and season four. Before
I get started, though, I've got

10
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.000
some shout outs that I have to
say hey to some people. But look,

11
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.719
I want to make sure everybody knows
this. I don't record every day,

12
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.040
so if you join, you may
not hear your name called out the

13
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.319
very next next episode, but that's
okay. But I just want to let

14
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.519
some people know because I think there's
a little bit of confusion on that.

15
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.319
So you can always message me if
you don't hear your voice hear your name

16
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.200
get called out. But I just
want you to know I'm not slack a

17
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.200
lacking. I just don't record every
single day, So if you add one

18
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.000
day, I may not say it
the very next episode you hear. But

19
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.000
that's okay because I got you.
All you gotta do is just give me

20
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.120
a little bit of time. But
today I have a couple I want to

21
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.439
say hey too. I've got missus
Julie Gifford, she joined. Hey,

22
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.200
Julie, thank you so very much
for joining. And then I've got Kay

23
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:55.000
Did. Now I know Kay did. She may or may not have dated

24
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.200
my brother in high school. Hey
girl, how are you doing? Thank

25
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.879
you so much for joining. That
means so much, especially in people you

26
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.519
know join your podcast right. And
then, last, but not least,

27
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.360
I've got Jade, just Jade.
There was no last name, so Jade,

28
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:14.240
this is for you, girl,
or all the other Jades could claim

29
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.199
that it was them, but there
wasn't a last name added. So thank

30
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:21.599
you so much Jade for joining.
Kay and Julie, I really really appreciate

31
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.879
it, and welcome to the family. I'm so glad that y' y'all could

32
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:29.240
join along. So I've also gotten
a lot of messages about my merch and

33
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.719
where to find it. Y'all.
You just go to Unspeakable thepodcast dot com

34
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.159
and there it is. There's a
tab that says merch. Click that there'll

35
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.039
be a link and it will take
you to another site. And everything's listed

36
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.400
there except coffee cups. I'm still
working on that, but they will be

37
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.599
there soon. And guess what else
is on their new shirt alert. Apparently

38
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.280
last episode I said that I would
smile on my mugshot behind the safety of

39
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.400
my kids, and so many people
wanted that on a shirt that Mama Jay

40
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.879
here delivered. So I have shirts
that say that I have a glitter option

41
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.240
and irregular option. So if you
would like to sparkle and tell people to

42
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.800
f off about hurting your kids,
you can do that, or you can

43
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:08.759
go regular whatever. It'd be really
cute for Christmas too, if you gave

44
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:14.319
that to like your parents or something, if you have babies and whatnot.

45
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.400
So go check that out. It's
on the website and I hope you like

46
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.680
it. But today I'm going to
take y'all to Grove City, Ohio,

47
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:23.960
and I've never been there before.
Shout out to my Ohio listeners. But

48
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:29.840
from what I've researched about this location, it's a suburb of Ohio's capital city

49
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.400
of Columbus, and I kind of
wanted to know what was the area like

50
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:37.599
because of the things that are about
to come and quality of life. According

51
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:43.560
to the reports, there was described
as exceptional in terms of things like tourism.

52
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.960
It's said online that Grove City has
all of the conveniences of a metropolitan

53
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.080
area coupled with the comforts of like
a unique small town feel. And there's

54
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:59.360
about forty dollars forty one thousand population
there. What I'm getting at is that

55
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.159
this was a night place to live. And one family that would initially agree

56
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:08.000
with this is the Tokes family.
Now Mom her name is Lisa. She

57
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.479
was described and I would have to
agree because I looked her up as a

58
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.160
well put together woman. When I
saw her first, I thought, Wow,

59
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.120
what a classy lady. And she
kind of reminded me of the mom

60
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:23.439
that you would see in a Hallmark
movie for the Holidays. She's fierce and

61
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:27.600
she's lovely, and she's everything I
think that a girl would want and a

62
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.120
mom based on what I've read and
seen. Dad his name is Toby.

63
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:35.560
He worked in the high impact window
field, so basically he sold Hurricane force

64
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.959
windows so that you know you're in
Florida. Hurricanes everywhere. Louisiana too.

65
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.800
We know how to party with our
hurricanes too, but they need some strong

66
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.439
windows. And so that was what
he sold for a living. And he

67
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.800
is the quintessential dad in my eyes. The pictures that I saw of him,

68
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.000
he had salt and pepper hair with
a little balding on top. No

69
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.519
disrespect, it's just what I was. And I looked him up and then

70
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.680
it looks like he eventually shaved his
head. But typical dad. He loves

71
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:11.600
football, and man did he love
his girls. He had two girls.

72
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.040
Their names were Reagan and Mackenzie,
and this daddy loved his little girls.

73
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.600
Now, Mackenzie was the youngest of
the two, and she was a cute

74
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.519
girl. She had long brown hair, and she very much resembles her older

75
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.680
sister. And at the time that
this case takes place, Mackenzie was a

76
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.519
senior in high school and although her
older sister, Reagan was away at college,

77
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:36.120
they were still very close and they
had a sisterly love that went unrivaled

78
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:40.800
by any other relationship. And it
kind of made me think of like Elsa

79
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:45.120
and Anna in Frozen, right,
those sisters loved one another. You knew

80
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.759
it, They knew it, everybody
knew it. Something interesting I found out

81
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:54.199
just recently, too, is that
Mackenzie attended Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School.

82
00:05:54.319 --> 00:06:00.519
If that rings a bell, aka
where Alex Schachter was murdered by a killer

83
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.839
during the school shooting. Older sister, Reagan Tolks, was born on March

84
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:10.959
thirteenth, nineteen ninety five, and
March thirteenth is my own sister's birthday,

85
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.839
except that year might might be a
little bit older. But I'm not gonna

86
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:21.399
tell. But Reagan, I'm telling
you she is stunningly beautiful. She has

87
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:27.600
huge brown eyes, really long brown
hair, she's tan, she's fit,

88
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.360
and she just struck me as just
a lovely college aged girl. And she

89
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:38.879
was in her prime attending Ohio State
University, the Ohio State University as football

90
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.000
players would say. And her family, all of these people I've mentioned were

91
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.800
very tight knit and were always known
as the family with an open door.

92
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:50.839
Friends were always in their house,
and the parents really wanted their girls to

93
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:56.319
thrive in every sense of the word, whether it was family, friends,

94
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:01.639
community, sports, or schooling.
Now, Reagan also played tennis and if

95
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.120
that doesn't tell you so much about
her, because to me, tennis is

96
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:10.079
such a classy sport. Tennis is
like, you know, golf. You

97
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.480
know, there's supposed to be an
air of sophistication about it, preppy if

98
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.720
you will. And I almost see
Reagan like tennis or golf. She was

99
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.319
all of those things. When I
say that this girl was lovely, I'm

100
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:26.560
talking about she looked like a sorority
girl you would see today at a football

101
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.040
game, well put together, well
groomed. She looks like she always smelled

102
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:36.560
good, her hairs combed, and
just so wonderful. She was originally gonna

103
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.600
do pre med but she would eventually
switch to psychology and her dreams were to

104
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:46.199
use that degree to help people.
As far as her character goes, I

105
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:51.279
want you to know it, this
girl loved her some football, and she

106
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:57.759
loved her somehi Ohio State football,
just like her daddy. Matter of fact,

107
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.879
I read that her very first game
was when her dad I took her

108
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.120
and she was about four or five
years old, and from that day forward,

109
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.399
her daddy says, she was sold. She was filled with the love

110
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.800
of the game. And I feel
that, man, I love me some

111
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.319
football. I grew up with my
grandma's cheering and betting. My grandpa was

112
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.240
a football coach, an award winning
football coach at that, you know,

113
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.759
and sports have always been a part
of our family too. So I just

114
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.439
really I really felt that when they
were explaining her character and something else was

115
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:30.480
she really loved to go on missions
with her church. Her friends said that

116
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.320
if they had to describe her,
the words would have been compassionate, helpful,

117
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:41.799
and loving. And I really identified
with this description of her, specifically

118
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.200
that I'm about to tell you,
and it's that they said she was always

119
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:50.399
singing songs about what she was doing. Her little sister Mackenzie even said that

120
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.399
if she was making a bagel,
for example, she would be singing a

121
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.159
song about it. And I do
that, do y'all do that? I

122
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.879
do that too. Like when I
give my dog's food or I give them

123
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.080
their medicine, I sing it.
I don't know why. I'm like,

124
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.240
come and get your medicine, Come
and get your medicine. Like I'm always

125
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.000
singing what I'm doing. When I
go feed my squirrel Joe outside, I

126
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.639
go Joe Joe the gradest squirrel,
Joe Joe the best boy in the world.

127
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.919
I mean, I sing everything.
I even do this in class.

128
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.320
I want to. I gotta.
I gotta give a shout out to some

129
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.960
of my students because if they listen, they'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

130
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:30.399
It I uh, okay. There
was this teacher that was in a

131
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.480
local area near us, and it
was just released in the news that she

132
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.440
had a baby with her student who
was like, I don't know, thirteen

133
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.679
years old. I know, freaking
gross. And for some reason, I

134
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.639
was trying to tell them, like, please, don't date your teacher.

135
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.279
You know that's just wrong. And
so I started going, don't date your

136
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.519
teacher, don't date true teacher,
don't date your teacher, cause it will

137
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.120
turn out badly. And so now
they just randomly will sing that, and

138
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.480
when we have guest speakers, they'll
sing it randomly and people think I'm crazy,

139
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.039
but whatever, we have a good
time. But I think it's funny.

140
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.919
I get her, I get her
essence, I feel her spirit whenever

141
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:09.279
I'm explaining that. And Reagan's parents
are very involved in their daughter's lives.

142
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:15.679
But Dad Toby found himself in a
new job opportunity that he couldn't pass up.

143
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.960
There was just one thing about it. The family would have to move

144
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.679
to Florida, and this is what
would end up happening. It wasn't in

145
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.360
the cards for Reagan to move,
though, because she was a Buckeye through

146
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.200
and through and she wasn't leaving her
beloved Ohio State. She wanted that degree

147
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.960
and she had a clear set idea
about how she was going to obtain that,

148
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.879
and she wanted life, y'all.
She had a plan, and she

149
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.279
didn't want to miss those Big Ten
conference games. She wanted to watch her

150
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.200
football and still be part of that
culture. So as such, she would

151
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.559
stay behind as her family would make
that crew that move across the country.

152
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.559
But Reagan and her sister were really
close, right, so they would have

153
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:03.360
this visit together which would end up
being their one last visit together before the

154
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.440
family would move. And little sister
Mackenzie got to stay with Reagan in her

155
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:15.480
apartment their last time together. And
Reagan was a good sister. She kept

156
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.600
a really close eye on her little
sister and she was not going to let

157
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.360
anything happen to her. Matter of
fact, Reagan went to go take a

158
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.840
shower during this sleepover and when she
came out, Mackenzie was gone, Reagan

159
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.320
began to panic and started frantically calling
people looking for her, but she was

160
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.080
beyond relieved when her roommate answered the
phone and explained, Oh, Mackenzie's with

161
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.320
me. We just want to go
to a drive there because she said that

162
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:45.320
she was hungry, and Reagan was
relieved and was able to calm down,

163
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.200
but there was no doubt that she
was about to go find her little sister

164
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:54.000
if she was missing, the next
day, she and her sister would go

165
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.360
tailgating together. And this was Reagan's
senior year, and so it would prove

166
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.960
a very emotional game for her as
it was going to be her last game

167
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.159
that she got to go to the
Ohio state football game as a student.

168
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:09.360
And her parents were so proud of
their girls. They had a lovely,

169
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.600
loving, happy home together, and
everything was just going great. All right.

170
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.720
So I'm going to tell you this
real quick. But I saw two

171
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.440
conflicting stories, and considering I wasn't
there, I don't know which one is

172
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.200
correct for one hundred percent certain.
One thing I read said that she had

173
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.440
graduated. Reagan graduated and received her
psychology degree and that led her to her

174
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:35.320
first big girl job. But something
else I read said that she actually did

175
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:37.720
not. She was in the last
parts of her senior year but didn't technically

176
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.679
graduate. I don't think it's a
big deal. I just wasn't able to

177
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.960
confirm which one was actually correct.
But either way, she loved helping people.

178
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:54.240
It was her drive. And during
that time she spoke a lot to

179
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.200
her parents because again they were in
different states, and her mother, Lisa,

180
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.000
spoke to her on the phone during
the day and it was one conversation

181
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.200
she said that would really make her
laugh because her and Reagan were always talking

182
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.519
and laughing. And she was shopping
in a store and talking to Reagan and

183
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.919
was not paying attention to what she
was doing, and the mom ran into

184
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.919
a rack of bananas and the entire
display toppled over, and she made a

185
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.679
huge scene, and her and her
daughter just cracked of laughing because good lord,

186
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:24.639
right, but they were just they
just love to speak to one another.

187
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.440
Something that her parents weren't too fond
of, though, was that she

188
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:35.399
was working late evenings at her job
and in order to combat the risks of

189
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.759
you know, being alone being a
pretty girl at night, which by the

190
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.240
way, is odd to say,
like why should you have to defend yourself

191
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.720
from just being you know what I
mean. But the sad reality is that

192
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.879
being a woman at night and walking
alone is a scary thing. You're looked

193
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:56.919
at as an easy target. But
anyway, her dad would always talk to

194
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.279
her throughout the day and would check
in with her in the evenings, and

195
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.600
basically he did what you would expect
for a dad to do, right,

196
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.240
I mean, daddy loved his girl
and he was going to do what he

197
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:13.320
had to do to ensure that she
was safe. So it's February ninth,

198
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.600
twenty seventeen, and it's a cold, snowy day, which I will be

199
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.159
honest, I know nothing about because
I've only seen real snow fall twice in

200
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:26.000
my life in South Louisiana and we
thought it was a miracle. But anyway,

201
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:31.519
it was a cold day and Reagan
was working her normal shift and her

202
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.919
dad noticed that it was getting late
and he hadn't heard from her, which

203
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.639
was really worrisome to him because she
was gonna, you know, she was

204
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.559
a girl of her word. She
was going to call her daddy. But

205
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.039
no worries. You know, maybe
her phone died, Maybe she had forgotten

206
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.600
her charger, maybe she forgot her
phone at work. Something's up, but

207
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:52.399
she's gonna call the issue with these
self. Soothing thoughts, though, is

208
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:58.960
that her phone was going straight to
voicemail and that never changed even as the

209
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:03.399
hours continue to tick by. But
surely there was a good explanation for this,

210
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.639
right, That's what we would all
think to ourselves. There's got to

211
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.960
be an answer for this. Reagan
had a caring family and they would never

212
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.039
let something happen to her. They
had all the precautions in place. They

213
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:18.200
were calling her. All she had
to do was answer the phone. But

214
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:24.440
by the next morning, she still
was not answering the phone. There still

215
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:31.120
wasn't a text, there was nothing, And I imagine that feeling must have

216
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:39.759
been similar to something like I remember
one time my daughter was supposed to come

217
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.080
home. She had been playing in
the neighborhood, and I texted her friend's

218
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.519
mom and said, hey, can
you send her home? And her friend's

219
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.559
mom messaged back, she isn't here
and hasn't been here all day. And

220
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.799
I remember my heart literally dropping straight
into my butthole, like, what what

221
00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:58.399
do you mean she's not there?
This whole time, I thought my baby,

222
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:02.320
you know, was playing with her
friend. I'm dead serious. My

223
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.360
legs went weak. I began to
panic. Obviously, my brain goes straight

224
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:07.720
to she must be in a van
tied up down by the river, being

225
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.759
murdered. But it just turns out
that she was down a few houses at

226
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:17.159
another friend's house, but she just
didn't tell me. I had precautions in

227
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:22.159
place, but they failed. And
obviously I'm not states away when this happened,

228
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:23.879
but as a parent, I'm just
trying to say, I know that

229
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:30.159
sick feeling, that sick, helpless
feeling, and I can imagine how their

230
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.480
minds must have been running wild with
emotion, considering twenty four hours had gone

231
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:38.240
by. So by the next morning, her parents were in a controlled panic,

232
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:41.440
is what I'll call it. You
know what do I mean by that?

233
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.519
Well, they were freaking the hell
out, but they were not wanting

234
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:48.960
to upset her little sister by just
overreacting. And you know, they're more

235
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:53.600
like, this can't be happening,
but it is happening. So Reagan's parents,

236
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:56.320
trying to be calm, told Mackenzie
that, hey, if you hear

237
00:16:56.320 --> 00:17:00.279
from Reagan, call us immediately,
call us asap. We need to know

238
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.240
if you hear from her. And
obviously this was out of the norm,

239
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:08.359
and Mackenzie wasn't stupid. You know, this is bad. My sister hasn't

240
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:14.440
been calling and hasn't answered her phone
in too much time. Now. Her

241
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:19.559
parents also called her work and said, you know, where's my daughter?

242
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:22.000
She did? She come to work? What's going on? And they heard

243
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.200
the words that they didn't want to
hear. They heard, she's not here

244
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.799
and the last time we saw her
was when she left last night. Now,

245
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.000
something that confused me a bit about
this story was that her own parents,

246
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:40.440
according to their reports, were not
able to make a missing person report

247
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:44.640
because and this is a quote,
they weren't the last people to see her.

248
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.359
And I don't know who told them
that, but that's what they were

249
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.960
told. I mean, they're the
parents. What do you mean your parents

250
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.759
can't report you missing the people that
you speak to every day. There's a

251
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.160
pattern here, and that pattern is
broken. The trend of what's normal is

252
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.720
not and she's gone. Even though
adults have the right to go missing,

253
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.799
this wasn't like her. She did
not have high risk behaviors. So regardless

254
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.599
of whatever that's about, her work
ended up making the call to police and

255
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.160
reporting her missing. So I'm going
to go ahead and insert that call right

256
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:21.119
now so that you can hear them
call in. So we've had a employee

257
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:25.359
leave word clients rate, she has
not been home, her phone is off,

258
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.079
nobody can find her. She hasn't
been home at all either. Her

259
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:33.599
mom has been calling looking for we
can't find her car around work. So

260
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.240
that nine when one call really gets
it rolling right. And around nine thirty

261
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.200
seven am, Mackenzie took to social
media and she tweeted, look, my

262
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:48.720
sister is missing, and unexpectedly her
post went viral pretty quickly. I personally

263
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.440
think it had something to do with
the fact that she was beautiful. We

264
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.799
tend to really emphasize, you know, beautiful people when they go missing,

265
00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:57.920
because it's like, oh my god, they're so pretty. This this is

266
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.519
not good. And even though local
news media picked it up and it was

267
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:06.240
you know, they were pretty interested
in this situation. And I'm going to

268
00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:10.839
post the actual tweet that her sister
sent out on my Patreon page with some

269
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:14.880
mother photos for y'all to look at
as well and adding to her parents.

270
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.440
Fear was that her roommate called and
said, look, her bed was not

271
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.839
slept in last night. And this
is where a person's tendencies are going to

272
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.640
matter. Like I said, she
always called her dad, she didn't this

273
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:27.920
time. Her roommate knew what her
bed looked like and then confirmed that it

274
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.759
hadn't been slept in the night before. Nothing had been moved, nothing had

275
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:37.519
changed, and this was not like
her and her parents were so afraid that

276
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.400
they were going to miss her call. They even stayed off of their phones

277
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:44.000
and wouldn't talk to people on their
phones in hopes that her call would come

278
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:48.759
straight through. But that call would
never come. One call that would be

279
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.839
made, though, was a nine
to one one call that came into the

280
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.680
local nine one one center from a
scared and shocked caller. Listen for yourself

281
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:03.400
to the call that came in.
Hello on that one. Yeah, I

282
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:08.160
think there's a body out here at
Nyoda Grove Metro Park. Case. I

283
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:14.240
don't know this as a faker or
what. I can't get close to send

284
00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:17.279
somebody hurry, I said, don't
get there. It's bunny. You've got

285
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:21.039
the arm over space. I can't
come near it. I can't sell off

286
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.079
it's fake or what, man?
Can you tell it's male or female or

287
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.759
anytime like that. It's like,
I don't think this person's alive. So

288
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.680
you can tell just by the caller's
voice that they're they're pretty disturbed by what

289
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:36.640
they're seeing. And he even says
that quote, I'm scared to get near

290
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:41.359
it, And it really stood out
to me. It's as if this was

291
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.119
so not right. He didn't even
want to say her, You know what

292
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:45.440
I mean, I don't want to
get I don't want to get near it.

293
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.240
He wasn't even sure if it was
real or not. And he thinks

294
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.799
it's a female when he does look. But you know, whoever this was

295
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.839
was in dire condition and it was
distressing even just for the caller to look

296
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:03.599
at her or it. So Detective
Rick Forney from the Grove City PD would

297
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.279
respond to the scene and when he
arrived, he would locate a body of

298
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.960
a female lying, he says,
about fifty feet from the road, and

299
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:12.960
the area that the body was found
in was a park and it had like

300
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.279
a field area next to it.
And upon further inspection, he also noted

301
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.599
that there was no purse there,
there was no id, there was no

302
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.720
cell phone, there was nothing with
the body. Now, at first,

303
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:32.000
you know, the course of action
for police was we need to compare this

304
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:37.200
girl to any missing person's reports that
may have been made. People don't get

305
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:42.039
bloodied in the way that this girl
was bloodied by themselves either, so someone

306
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:48.279
else had to be involved. Based
on the viciousness of this crime, police

307
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:49.480
at first were kind of like,
God, this must have been someone who

308
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:55.400
freaking hated her. How could you
do this to someone else? And also

309
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.079
there's got to be someone looking for
her that loves her. So while a

310
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:04.519
search of missing person reports was being
conducted, police began to canvass the area

311
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:11.240
to see if anyone had heard or
seen anything, and literally no leads or

312
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:18.359
any information was gained. All the
police had was this body. But about

313
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.160
that same time, another call would
come into nine to one one and it

314
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.720
was one of Reagan's friends who was
frantic that she was missing, which happened

315
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:32.839
to be great timing in that they
now had this description of this body that

316
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:36.559
was found, and that call happened
to come in. So police went to

317
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:40.839
the friend and they brought some jewelry
from the body to see if it looked

318
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.920
familiar, and they also noted that
the body had a tattoo, which is

319
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.400
always going to be a really good
identifying feature. The police would show both

320
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.839
that necklace and that picture of the
tattoo, and by the look on the

321
00:22:52.839 --> 00:23:00.519
friend's face, it became quickly obvious
to police this was their friend. The

322
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:06.799
item identification may have been, you
know, one hundred percent, but the

323
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.000
body identification wasn't one hundred percent.
So police needed to be sure because look,

324
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.200
coincidences can happen. People can have
the same tattoo and similar jewelry.

325
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.799
So police would take Reagan's uncle,
that would be her mom's brother, and

326
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.720
he would be the one to make
the identification. He would go in and

327
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:27.680
he would review and look at the
body, and there he would confirm it

328
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:33.640
was Reagan's battered and bloody body that
had been dumped like trash on the side

329
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:37.720
of the road. And now here's
the hard part for police. They had

330
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:41.480
to go tell this family. And
this isn't easy, y'all. It's not

331
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:47.759
fun and it surely doesn't ever get
easier to do, and it shouldn't be

332
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:49.960
easy. I mean, this is
life altering information that you have to go

333
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:55.720
give people who are preying on their
knees with all of their heart won't come.

334
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.640
And what was even sadder was that
because they were in different states this

335
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.079
time, the notification had to be
given by phone. It wasn't even in

336
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:10.880
person, so mom Lisa's phone rang, and with hope and dread, she

337
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.960
answered it. Hello. The voice
on the other line said, and are

338
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:22.720
you alone? And that bit itself
was sickening for her to hear. And

339
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:27.240
the officer continues with the worst message
possible. You know that we found the

340
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:36.000
body and unfortunately it is Reagan.
Reagan has been murdered. Her mom would

341
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:41.839
later tell reporters that nothing can prepare
you, and you feel like this has

342
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:45.680
got to be a mistake. But
they weren't, and a parent's worst fears

343
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.640
were realized in that moment. You
know their baby girl was dead. And

344
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:57.839
now it switches to someone else has
been responsible for taking the life from your

345
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:00.920
baby. I don't care that she's
in high school. I mean in college.

346
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.960
I don't care if she's in high
school. Care you're fifty years old.

347
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:07.759
That's your baby and someone took it
upon themselves to end her life.

348
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:15.680
And for what? Why? And
what adds to the utter kick in the

349
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:19.359
stomach that she had been murdered was
the condition in which her body was found,

350
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:25.599
because, according to Jennifer Roush,
who was the assisting prosecuting attorney for

351
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.920
Franklin County. She wasn't just found, y'all on the side of the road.

352
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:36.400
She was found naked, and she
was only wearing her necklace. And

353
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:40.640
after review, she was suffering from
a gunshot wound to the back of the

354
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:45.799
head. And back of the head
tells me one thing. It's an execution.

355
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:52.799
Naked tells me one thing, and
that there was rape or sexual desires

356
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:59.680
of some sort, or humiliation.
I cannot think of another reason why you

357
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:03.079
would she a naked person in the
back of the head without even knowing what

358
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.559
happened. At this point, you
have to be imagining that she was forced

359
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.160
to strip naked and either raped from
behind and then shot in the back of

360
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:15.480
the head, or was walking to
her death and then shot from behind.

361
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:22.960
Either way, the scene screams,
a coward is responsible for this, But

362
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:27.880
who is that coward? And in
the meantime, the news was all over

363
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:32.599
this case, and they obviously get
the ratings by instilling fear in people,

364
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:36.039
and it worked because people were terrified, Oh my god, there's a killer

365
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:38.960
on the loose. And the day
that her body was identified, only the

366
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:44.119
family knew. The media didn't actually
find out until the next day. And

367
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:48.599
this is a good thing because people
need to be notified of a loved one's

368
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.559
death in a formal way. In
my personal opinion, they don't need to

369
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.000
hear it from a news reporter.
They need to hear it and it be

370
00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:04.240
from a position of professionalism and of
compassion and privacy. You know, this

371
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:08.839
isn't a game. This is someone's
life. And when the family was told,

372
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:15.759
the pain wasn't just emotional. It
was a physical and visceral reaction.

373
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:23.440
I think a lot of these parents
because while they're dying, they also knew

374
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:27.920
that they could not lose all composure, because in their minds, they had

375
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:32.920
to get to little sister Mackenzie as
soon as possible to make sure that they

376
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.920
were the ones to break the news
and not somebody else. I mean,

377
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:40.279
imagine being in their shoes, the
shock and pain of losing your daughter,

378
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:48.160
but immediately turning your worries to the
remaining child's emotions and needs. I mean,

379
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.480
the love of a parent, y'all
is unmatched. I know. My

380
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.279
own brother in law was killed in
a boding accident when he was a young

381
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.119
adult, and this is before I
ever knew my husband and my mother in

382
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.720
law, for all accounts, wasn't
the same after that. And I asked

383
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:06.240
her once, I said, you
know, and this was after I had

384
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:10.599
my own kids, how did you
survive that? And you know, I

385
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:11.680
don't think I could. I don't
I don't know what I would do.

386
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.480
And her response has always stayed with
me. She said to me, and

387
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.400
this is a quote, she said, well, Kelly, it wasn't an

388
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:25.519
option for me to die. I
wanted to, but it wasn't an option.

389
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.079
You know. I had to live
for my remaining child. And I'm

390
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:34.480
so grateful for the love that she
raised my husband in because she molded the

391
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:37.839
man that I would later marry.
And I'm eternally grateful that she didn't give

392
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:44.160
up because he still needed a mama
even though she had just lost a child.

393
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.599
So I guess I draw from that
experience to put myself how these parents

394
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:53.640
must have been feeling so younger.
Sister Mackenzie was the one that had treated

395
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:59.240
out her original notice of being missing, and they flew to her work to

396
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:03.160
tell her before people began responding to
those tweets with any bad news. And

397
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.440
I can just see them racing in
their car trying to get to her and

398
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:10.519
hope, and she doesn't look at
her phone. According to Mackenzie, she

399
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:14.720
saw one look on her parents' faces
and she instantly knew that her sister was

400
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.480
dead. She said, no words
were necessary. I knew, and I

401
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.839
did a little more digging around,
and I actually found a blog that Mackenzie

402
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.839
wrote years later. But I thought
it's something I'd like to share it in

403
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.039
her own words. Instead of me
putting what I think her emotion was,

404
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.720
I'd rather just tell you in her
own words. So here's a part of

405
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.920
it. Imagine you're seventeen years old
and wanted to show your big sister your

406
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.039
prom dress. You get in a
fight, and this will be the last

407
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.680
conversation you two will ever have on
Earth. Of course, if you knew

408
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.200
this, it wouldn't have ended that
way. That Wednesday night, when you

409
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.680
lay down for bed, nothing seems
out of the ordinary to your child's self,

410
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.599
But little do you know when you
wake the next morning, hell will

411
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.759
soon engulf your life. You had
to school normal, but start receiving messages

412
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.079
from your parents to try to get
in contact with your older sister. You

413
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:08.759
brush it off and say she's probably
sleeping still or in class. Your mom

414
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:15.319
calls the university. She hasn't attended
her classes today. Mom files a missing

415
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:19.279
person's report through the campus police.
Once you are leaving school, you realize

416
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:25.000
the enormity of the situation your family
is facing. No one has seen or

417
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.759
heard from her since early in the
night before. According to a roommate you

418
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:30.839
spoke with, she never made it
home to her bed that previous night.

419
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:34.680
You drive back to school to take
a picture of for an award you're receiving.

420
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:37.799
You run into the school, choking
on tears, after your mom has

421
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.759
said no one has seen her since
her workshift last night. Everyone in school

422
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.079
tells you she's an adult. Don't
worry, they'll find her. But you're

423
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.599
wise enough to know when a girl
goes missing in Ohio, you typically don't

424
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:53.319
find them alive. You pray that
she's gotten into a car accident. Yes,

425
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:56.519
that's why your sister is missing.
You think to yourself. All the

426
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:02.279
hospitals are phoned and no one has
admitted your sins. They call the airports,

427
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:04.519
they even call the local jails.
You never think of how much I

428
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:08.720
wish to hear that she had been
arrested for some dumb reason. News comes

429
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:12.240
back that yet again, she hasn't
been seen. It's been over twenty four

430
00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:17.200
hours since she's been gone, and
now an official missing person case has been

431
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:21.039
taken by the county. Little do
you know that the body of a young

432
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:23.759
girl had been taken as a Jane
Doe around one pm today in a different

433
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:29.240
county area. It's her, but
you won't know that until late this evening.

434
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.880
You get into your car from school
an attempt to drive home. You

435
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:36.119
call a close by friend in the
neighborhood and ask them to come over and

436
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:38.119
you'll explain. When you get there. You pull up in its raining.

437
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:42.440
You're shaking and getting wet, but
it doesn't matter. Your friend recommends tweeting

438
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:48.799
a picture of her. Within minutes, thousands have retreated this image. Shit,

439
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:51.240
I probably should have picked a better
one. I don't think she'll like

440
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.039
this being posted all over once we
find her. You think, at this

441
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:56.680
point, I told myself she had
fallen asleep somewhere while studying and just didn't

442
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.880
have her phone charged up to call
you back. Then you think maybe she

443
00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:02.720
had a mental breakdown and ran away, and that's why the car is gone.

444
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.960
You immediately call her old high school
boyfriend, even though they haven't talked

445
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:09.680
in a year. When he answers, he's surprised to hear from you and

446
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:14.960
concerned about the news that you just
shared. Damn, you really thought he

447
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:17.839
knew where she could be. That
tweet has been shared more times than you

448
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:22.160
can count. She really won't like
this when she wakes up, but in

449
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:29.160
reality, she's watching down on your
family frantically looking for her when she's really

450
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:35.400
a nameless body in the Franklin County
Coroner's office. Your mom calls and says

451
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:37.319
you need to get home and find
out her license plate number. It's now

452
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:42.759
being reported as a stolen vehicle.
You try to remember the stickers she proudly

453
00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:47.400
put on the windows to help with
further identification. Miami Dolphins and the Buckeyes.

454
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:52.400
Of course, you bring your friend
with you as you've become increasingly unstable

455
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.319
over the last half hour. On
your short drive home, you get a

456
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:58.960
call from your uncle. Now it's
serious, the whole family is searching.

457
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:02.599
He tells you to call if you
have heard any further news, and he

458
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:06.799
doesn't want to block your mom's line
as she's in contact with the police,

459
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:10.200
who are who are only one thousand
miles away. At home, you rip

460
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:15.200
through the drawers of the office and
find the car file and immediately call your

461
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:17.519
mom. She asks for your license
plate too, just as a precaution for

462
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:22.440
the future. She asked if I
still had to work that night, and

463
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:27.119
I was one of two employees.
Of course I'm working. I can't cancel

464
00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:30.119
this ladive notice. We're going to
find her, and it still hasn't sunk

465
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:35.720
in the extreme urgency of our situation. After hanging up the phone, however,

466
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:38.119
you call your best friend in Ohio
and sob to her. As you

467
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:42.480
try to relay the message that Reagan
has been missing for a day and no

468
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:45.519
one has heard from her. She
bursts into tears at Kroger and a couple

469
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:51.839
say they will help my family in
their prayers. You know, those are

470
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:57.680
really personal feelings and experiences are a
lot for a young girl to share.

471
00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:00.000
But I appreciate her candidness. I
mean, it really puts an perspective what

472
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:04.279
she was feeling and going through those
motions while she's dying inside, you know,

473
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:09.239
and Reagan's death is a totality of
experiences. Families are victims too.

474
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:15.679
Reagan's dead and gone, yet there
are people that will suffer her death for

475
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:21.400
the rest of their lifetime. You
know, it doesn't end with her death.

476
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:23.639
There's no when people say, oh
she you know when someone dies and

477
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:28.239
time will make it better. No, all time does is wound all heels.

478
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:30.599
In my opinion, people say time
heals all wounds. No time wounds

479
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:34.360
all heels, because just as soon
as you think you get through something bammed,

480
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:37.239
something else happens that brings it back
up, rips open that wound,

481
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:43.800
you know. So while this turmoil
is happening, the Medical Examiner's office is

482
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:46.559
doing a thorough review of the body
of Reagan looking for any clues to how

483
00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:52.360
this could have occurred. And what
they would need to determine is number one,

484
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:58.119
could this have been a suicide or
could this have possibly been a domestic

485
00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:04.159
violence situation that escal or is this
straight up a random murder? Well,

486
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:07.559
suicide is immediately ruled out because upon
further inspection, it was noted that she

487
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:15.039
suffered not one, but two gunshot
wounds to her head. If you shoot

488
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:19.800
yourself and the first of all the
back of the head isn't common, as

489
00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:22.360
well as you don't shoot yourself twice
in the brain, because it's not possible,

490
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:29.159
you know, the first one would
have incapacitated her. This was a

491
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:35.599
murder. That second shot was a
was a shot to ensure that she did

492
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:39.920
not wake up or survive. This
was a murder. And DNA was collected,

493
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:45.760
and it was noted that the way
she was dumped, they felt,

494
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:50.280
was to also demean her, you
know, leaving her undressed and on display

495
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:53.719
for the world to see. There
was no care or concern for her,

496
00:35:54.199 --> 00:36:00.440
just used and then abandoned. And
we all know this. The first twenty

497
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:04.280
four to forty eight hours of an
investigation's crucial, and the police were quick

498
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.719
to jump on it and to trace
her last steps. The timeline of her

499
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:12.679
last night alive would begin on Wednesday, February eighth, around nine to forty

500
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.440
five pm. Reagan would go to
a local bar called the Bodego Bar,

501
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:20.000
and she would stay for a while, and then she was seen on camera

502
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:23.920
saying goodbye to the bartender, and
then she leaves. She walks to her

503
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:28.119
car, which is a silver four
door Sedan, And I have video of

504
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:30.199
this, so I'm going to post
this on my Patreon too, so y'all

505
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:35.280
can see the video of the progression. This very car of hers had also

506
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:39.239
been reported stolen immediately when she was
identified as missing, right, And this

507
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:45.800
would prove valuable because when three days
later after her murder, a trash truck

508
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:50.519
with a license plate reader got a
hit on the plate. And by the

509
00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:52.440
way, that seemed really odd to
me. I was like, did I

510
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:55.639
read that right? A trash can
scanned it? So I took the time

511
00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:58.840
to look that up, just to
explain it to you, because I'm sure

512
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:01.719
some other people may wonder too.
But it's become more common to strap license

513
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:07.079
plate readers to the front of garbage
trucks and this allows them to scan plates

514
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:10.159
of every car along their route,
and then that data can be fed to

515
00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:15.800
the police department, prompting an officer
to respond to stolen vehicles or cars that

516
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:21.719
may be involved in serious crimes.
And this car was found parked on the

517
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:28.800
side of town that Reagan would not
have usually frequented, and once inside the

518
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:32.199
car, the police noted that it
smelled like cigarette smoke, and this matter

519
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:37.119
because y'all, Reagan didn't smoke.
They also found cigarettes inside the vehicle,

520
00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:43.320
and another thing in the report was
that a gas can was in the trunk,

521
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:46.800
which she would have never done.
Her mom even said she would have

522
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:51.800
never done that she's not even that
stupid who puts gas in a closed trunk

523
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:58.440
to Shay Mom, right, She's
not dumb who does do that. So

524
00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:02.880
something else police found was they found
burn marks on the seats of the car

525
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:08.199
and the car was doused in gas, but it didn't actually light on fire.

526
00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:15.239
And then right outside of the car
they found smoked cigarette butts and I

527
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:20.119
have a photo of that as well
that I'll post so that y'all y'all can

528
00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:22.000
check that out. By this time, y'all, police hadn't slept in twenty

529
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:25.320
four hours. They were exhausted,
and so they were sent home by a

530
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:30.519
supervisor to get some rest. But
as luck would have it, immediately as

531
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.760
that was happening, the crime lab
called back with a hit for a DNA

532
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:39.679
match, and the hit was of
a person Reagan's family had never heard of,

533
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:44.760
and they were kind of taken by
surprise. The hit was on a

534
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:50.119
guy named Brian Goldsby who was a
twenty nine year old blackmail from that area,

535
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:55.599
and he and Reagan had nuh thing
in common. They didn't follow the

536
00:38:55.599 --> 00:39:00.480
same schedules in any way, shape
or form, and y'all, they certainly

537
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:05.440
weren't friends. These were not two
people that were hanging out together. But

538
00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:07.239
hey, someone could have stolen the
car and he took it. He could

539
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.079
have carjacked her and taken the car, or he could have just hot wired.

540
00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:14.039
I mean, there's a million reason
how he ended up with the car.

541
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:21.559
So when the police look, when
the police heard his name, all

542
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.760
they could do was shake their heads
in disgust. Why because he was well

543
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:30.159
known to the police. Shocker right. Not only was he known to the

544
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:37.239
police, though, he was well
known to the Ohio prison system as well.

545
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:42.280
Remember I always say, it's the
same twenty percent of the population that

546
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:45.559
are committing one hundred percent of the
crimes. It doesn't matter where you live,

547
00:39:45.239 --> 00:39:51.360
it's the same shit. It's the
same people. Okay, This wasn't

548
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:55.800
some contributing member of society in any
way. And when I tell you the

549
00:39:55.840 --> 00:40:00.119
next part of this, if it
doesn't make you angry, I swear or

550
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:02.559
you're not paying attention. Do you
want to know what he went to prison

551
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:07.000
for? I bet you do.
I bet you can guess by the tone

552
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:13.079
in my voice. In November of
twenty sixteen, he committed a sexual assault

553
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:16.400
of a woman. Now, by
the way the media calls it a sexual

554
00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:21.960
assault. I'm gonna call it what
it is. He fucking raped somebody.

555
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:27.800
He held her at knife point,
and he raped her in front of her

556
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:35.519
child. It drives me absolutely insane
when people try to church up something and

557
00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:37.960
call it a sexual assault. That
sounds like she was smacked on the ass,

558
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:42.199
you know, where someone grabbed her
boob. No, this woman,

559
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:44.679
which, by the way, neither
of those are right either. But this

560
00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:47.320
woman, it was further than that. She was forced to strip and was

561
00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:54.920
vaginally penetrated by a naked stranger in
front of her child. That's right,

562
00:40:55.400 --> 00:41:00.199
y'all. He had already done this
to another woman now looking her, she

563
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:05.920
lived and she was able to report
it to the police. Now, what's

564
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:14.199
absolutely infuriating is that it was thought
appropriate to give this man a plea deal.

565
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:20.039
And what did that plea deal do
for him? Gave him reduced sentencing

566
00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:23.920
time. So why would they do
that? Why would they do that?

567
00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:28.159
Well, let me explain this,
explain something to you real quick. There

568
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:31.480
are two sides to every issue,
and I am not dogging prosecutors. I

569
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:36.480
appreciate the fact that we have prosecutors
out there wanting to hold people accountable,

570
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:39.480
But plea deals aggravate me in situations
like this, because the reason a plea

571
00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:45.280
deal is offered and taken is because
it's a guaranteed conviction for the prosecution and

572
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:51.559
then the prosecutor's office, right,
they're gonna get reelected on how successful they

573
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:55.400
are, so it's in their benefit
to offer the plea deal because there's no

574
00:41:55.480 --> 00:42:01.639
long trial and it's a guaranteed quote
unquote When on the other side, and

575
00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:05.960
this is kind of where my frustration
is coming from, is I feel like

576
00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:12.639
it cheapens the victim's experience. The
plea deal shouldn't be we'll give you a

577
00:42:12.679 --> 00:42:15.599
reduced time and a slap on the
wrist. It should be, hey,

578
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:17.920
fool, we won't kill you if
you take the plea deal. We just

579
00:42:17.960 --> 00:42:21.440
won't kill you. That to me, is the deal we're getting here.

580
00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:25.679
You didn't kill her, we won't
kill you. That's your deal. You

581
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:29.159
can just go to prison for life
because you're obviously a predator, but we

582
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:30.960
won't kill you. That sounds like
a good deal to me, not that

583
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:34.679
you'll be out in time. In
this case. You know how much time

584
00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:38.119
he got for it for raping a
woman in front of her child. Six

585
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:45.360
years what happened to protecting society,
not just getting the win, you know

586
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:50.360
what I mean? Like, this
is a predator. So in essence,

587
00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:54.119
if we look back on it,
the plea deal here basically negotiated Reagan's life

588
00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:59.480
for his freedom. If I were
her mother, I would be losing like

589
00:42:59.599 --> 00:43:01.840
ever life loving mind because you had
that piece of shit in cuffs and you

590
00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:07.320
had him locked up, and because
of whatever reason you want to choose,

591
00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.760
his ass was back out on the
streets. Well you think this was an

592
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:15.599
accident. He didn't trip and fall. He took a weapon, He put

593
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:21.280
it to a woman's throat and raped
her in front of a child. But

594
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:24.760
we're going to give you a deal. What deal did the woman get?

595
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:30.480
It's sick. This guy was behind
bars where he belonged. And because the

596
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:35.800
justice system needed to clear a case, and the prosecutors, I guess,

597
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:39.920
wanted their easy conviction, and the
victims were either afraid to demand more or

598
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:45.280
were so unaware of their value as
a human being and what real justice looks

599
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:51.760
like, he was allowed to walk
the streets again, a hungry predator that

600
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:54.559
just needed time and opportunity. And
from what it looks like to me,

601
00:43:55.239 --> 00:44:01.039
he was afforded all of those things. He was a tear three sex offender,

602
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:07.320
and he wasn't even out long enough
for the mandatory sex offender registration to

603
00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:15.239
be published and distributed before he acted
again. That should make anybody on this

604
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:22.960
planet absolutely infuriated. So where was
this animal post release before he came in

605
00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:28.239
contact with Reagan? I wanted to
know what was he doing. Well,

606
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:31.159
here's the answer. He was living
in a halfway house, which isn't even

607
00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:37.960
quite true because the whole truth was
that he was the highest tier sexual predator

608
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:43.920
and deemed so high risk a danger. No listen to me, No halfway

609
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:51.039
house wanted to take him because the
liability was too high. Like think that

610
00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:58.480
through, you know. So when
he was released from prison homeless just three

611
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:04.599
months before for Reagan's death in November
of twenty sixteen, no halfway house would

612
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:09.719
initially accept him, according to his
parole records. So at the request of

613
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:16.280
the State Alvis which is this monitoring
company in Columbus, they agreed to place

614
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:22.519
a GPS ankle monitor on Golsby.
Now, probation and parole officers can monitor

615
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:27.920
offenders in the community using this electronic
monitoring, and they usually use two types

616
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:30.960
of systems. There's more, but
they do radio frequency or they can do

617
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:37.760
global positioning systems GPS monitoring, something
along those lines. This means his every

618
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:44.320
single step should have been one he
was held accountable for. Obviously, he

619
00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:47.360
can't self regulate and he can't account
for himself. Thus the state was going

620
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:52.679
to be his daddy and do it
for him. That was until they just

621
00:45:52.719 --> 00:46:05.079
didn't get this. Goldsby was not
being monitored. There were no geo fences

622
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:09.119
set up, no inclusion or exclusion
zones on his anklet to say you can't

623
00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:14.559
go here, you have to stay
here. None of that was even done

624
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:19.519
to Goldsby a failure on the part
of the state and it's parole officers,

625
00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:23.119
which by the way, also violated
a twenty sixteen state corrections policy. Because

626
00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:27.960
I look that policy up. Y'all
know I'm pro policing. Okay, do

627
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:31.960
not get it twisted. I appreciate
law enforcement, I appreciate corrections, but

628
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:39.400
this is a pro appropriate policing and
monitoring. I expect predators to be on

629
00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:44.079
a leash, and a tight one
at that, maybe even a fucking choke

630
00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:46.760
caller if necessary. And don't come
at me about my verbiage choice when the

631
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:52.079
outcome is a dead girl. I
really don't care now if you couldn't be

632
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:59.480
any more disgusted than I am right
now. Process this Goldsby had already been

633
00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:06.119
in rubble for failing to charge the
battery on the device, the very device

634
00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:10.840
put on him to monitor him,
and he was caught being a wall from

635
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:19.280
the community residential housing facility that had
reluctantly accepted to take him. So what

636
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:22.440
was his punishment for that? I
would think his ass would be straight back

637
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:28.519
behind bars, right, but he
wasn't. He was reprimanded. He basically

638
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:32.679
was fussed at, Like, what
in the holy shit? If you can't

639
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:37.639
monitor a dangerous offender is going on
here? How are you contracted with a

640
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:47.480
state agency to do one job one
and fail and it results in the death

641
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:52.880
of another human being. The thing
is when you look back at all of

642
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:58.119
this and you want to blame the
quote unquote state, that's just a figment

643
00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:00.400
of speech. This is where it's
frustrating to me. The state is an

644
00:48:00.440 --> 00:48:05.840
idea, It's a pie in the
sky thought. You know what I mean.

645
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:10.559
You can't blame or hold a quote
unquote state fully accountable. How would

646
00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:15.199
you do that who is penalized.
The answer is no one. A report

647
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:19.599
is written and maybe someone fired,
but that doesn't undo the damage that is

648
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:22.880
done. And if you don't believe
me, call up Reagan Reagan's mom and

649
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:30.599
dad. Police also found data from
Goldsby's GPS ankle monitor that placed him at

650
00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:37.760
multiple robbery locations in the German Village
neighborhood in the weeks that led up like

651
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:42.679
led up to and the days before
Reagan's disappearance. I mean, what do

652
00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:46.480
you need? What more do you
need to say? Rot Row? We

653
00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:52.519
got a problem here, bad guy
on the loose, no shocker here.

654
00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:58.440
But it also showed him at the
Metro Park where Reagan's body was found on

655
00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:02.360
February ninth, twenty seventeen. So
with all of that happening or not happening,

656
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:07.920
he was arrested on Saturday, February
eleventh, after a warrant was cut

657
00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:10.320
for his arrest, and when he
was brought to the PD, there's video

658
00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:15.719
of him sitting in the police car
and he's feigning surprise and asking what's this

659
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:22.559
all about? And when it's all
said and done, the interview with police

660
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:27.440
would get a confession. But there's
a whole bunch of lies within that confession

661
00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:32.920
that have to be considered as well. So at first he said things like,

662
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:37.199
y'all are just trying to get me
to confess to something I didn't do,

663
00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:42.159
obviously, playing the poor me being
bombarded by the evil brutal police,

664
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:49.000
right, But eventually he would admit
to kidnapping Reagan, making her drive around

665
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:54.239
to multiple ATMs for money, and
during a smoke break later on during his

666
00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:58.760
interview, he would admit just a
little while later that he did rape her

667
00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:06.840
as well, but he would be
adamant that he didn't shoot her. I

668
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:12.400
know, right what Supposedly he was
willing to kidnap her at gunpoint, rob

669
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:16.239
her, rape her, but murder. Oh my god, no way,

670
00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:22.280
that would be horrible, the inhumanity. I'm not gonna do that. And

671
00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:29.400
then there's this accomplice all of a
sudden that shows up and his name is

672
00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:31.960
TJ. And it was TJ that
shot her. Yeah, that was it.

673
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:38.199
He wasn't he wasn't expecting that to
happen either. When TJ shot her,

674
00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:42.280
Man, he was shook. He
just couldn't believe it. How could

675
00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:47.480
you shoot this girl that I just
robbed and raped and kidnapped? How could

676
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:55.960
you shoot her? I mean,
it's so ridiculous. So I mean obvious

677
00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:00.119
gaps are here too, right,
I mean, like, was TJ in

678
00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:02.760
the trunk of the car during those
stops at the ATMs whenever you can see

679
00:51:02.760 --> 00:51:06.480
her trying to get money for him? Was TJ? What was he underneath

680
00:51:06.519 --> 00:51:08.400
holding on? I mean, where
was he then? And was he just

681
00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:12.559
like chilling when you forced her to
undress and raped her? What was TJ

682
00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:15.960
doing then? Was he watching a
movie in the car like and then like

683
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:17.559
a gentleman, you were gonna let
her go? Then? Is that really

684
00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:20.760
what we're gonna believe here? You're
just a gentleman, You're gonna let her

685
00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:23.800
go? And then TJ just decided
to wile out and shoot her. Come

686
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:28.000
on, dude, here's his admission, though. I'm gonna put it in

687
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:30.760
in his own voice so that you
can hear it. Jesus, walk until

688
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:37.519
I tell you to stop. She
walks, She's naked. She walks.

689
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:43.880
He tells he stopped. He gets
behind her. At first, I heard

690
00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:46.920
it click click, nothing happen something
like that, And he gave me his

691
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:58.239
fakes. She falls, she's playing
on the ground. I'm looking on her

692
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:02.159
car. He's been down, so
there it is. In his own voice.

693
00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:08.000
He sounds real concerned, I guess. And then after a while he

694
00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:14.559
gets tired. You know, it's
hard lying for a couple hours. So

695
00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:17.920
finally he tells police he's going to
lead them to the gun if they will

696
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:23.440
do him one solid first. I
couldn't make this up if I tried,

697
00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:29.280
he says, I will tell you
where the gun is if you will get

698
00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:35.800
me a couple hamburgers. We are
talking about a girl murdered, laying in

699
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:40.320
a field, raped, and you
want some hamburgers. I would not be

700
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:45.639
able to eat or live with myself. But I mean, the ridiculousness of

701
00:52:45.679 --> 00:52:51.400
it all just says everything just ridiculous. And although he was in custody,

702
00:52:51.440 --> 00:52:55.960
now the question really became, why
did you do this? And here's what

703
00:52:57.119 --> 00:53:01.440
is believed to have happened to Reagan. When it's all said and done,

704
00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:07.360
Goldsby took a Neil Avenue codea bus
from the halfway house that he was in

705
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:10.360
and he came upon the Bodega Cafe
on North High Street, where Tolkes was

706
00:53:10.440 --> 00:53:17.639
leaving her server shift. His immediate
goal was robbery, but for two hours,

707
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:24.880
two hours, Reagan would comply with
his every demand and with the hopes

708
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:30.760
that it would just save her life. For two hours, this guy terrorized

709
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:35.159
her and she drove around and she
was unable to get any money from the

710
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:39.519
ATMs. She's seen on multiple ATM
cameras pulling up and attempting to take out

711
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:45.000
cash. And obviously she's under the
threat of a gun and he was with

712
00:53:45.039 --> 00:53:50.920
her the whole time. I'm gonna
put some more videos up to on Patreon

713
00:53:50.960 --> 00:53:52.360
if her doing everything he tells her
to do, so you can kind of

714
00:53:52.400 --> 00:53:57.920
see this happening, you know,
from a real point of view. And

715
00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:01.599
finally they would turn and go back
to a Chase bank where she would finally

716
00:54:01.639 --> 00:54:07.760
be able to withdraw sixty dollars.
Then they drove to a gas station and

717
00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:15.239
they got gas. At this point
is when he changes course and he heads

718
00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:20.320
to the park, and when they
got there, he forced her to undress,

719
00:54:21.639 --> 00:54:29.880
removing her clothes, her brawl her
panties while he watched her enjoying it

720
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:38.880
at gunpoint, and he then rapes
her. According to his own admission,

721
00:54:39.840 --> 00:54:45.760
she was then marched out into the
field naked, and her final words were

722
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:51.639
and this is a direct quote I
just want to live. He then put

723
00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:54.920
a gun to the back of her
head and he pulled the trigger. Her

724
00:54:54.920 --> 00:55:00.400
body fell to the ground, and
then for good measure, he placed the

725
00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:05.360
muzzle of the gun to the side
of her head and he pulled the trigger

726
00:55:05.519 --> 00:55:15.800
again. I can literally feel the
fear and then hear that loud boom boom,

727
00:55:15.840 --> 00:55:20.920
and then the eerie silence as he
just walks away back to the car.

728
00:55:20.960 --> 00:55:24.920
I mean, I can I can
feel it. He then drove away,

729
00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:31.679
leaving her battered, naked body by
the road, and he left driving

730
00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:37.119
around town pulling drags from his cigarette, and then dropped the car where it

731
00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:42.519
was ultimately found near his home when
it was scanned by the garbage truck.

732
00:55:44.719 --> 00:55:52.079
I mean, just snuffed a life
out for selfish gain, A contributing,

733
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:59.519
good member of society who wanted to
help people. And it would be an

734
00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:02.719
additional year before they would go to
trial for this and facing the death penalty

735
00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:10.559
for his chosen actions, but ultimately
the jury would take some pity on him

736
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:16.159
and he would be spared the death
penalty. He would be convicted of the

737
00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:22.199
murder, aggravated robbery and rape of
Reagan Toakes and was sentenced to one hundred

738
00:56:22.280 --> 00:56:28.559
and five years without the benefit of
probation, parole, or suspension of sentence.

739
00:56:30.079 --> 00:56:36.280
He also, by the way,
was convicted of multiple robberies during that

740
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:40.119
time. I think it was seven. Don't quote me on that, but

741
00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:45.159
I just want you to know it's
cases like this that make me want to

742
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:52.239
scream from the rooftops that we have
to stop giving these predators the benefit of

743
00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:55.239
the doubt. And to put it
bluntly, I don't know how else to

744
00:56:55.280 --> 00:57:01.760
say it, Reagan's life to him
was worth sixty dollars an orgasm. That

745
00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:12.960
is what Brian Goldsby chalked her life
up to. When everyone when actually,

746
00:57:13.000 --> 00:57:19.000
will everyone realize that violent predators they
don't think like you, they don't act

747
00:57:19.039 --> 00:57:23.880
like you. Therefore their hearts cannot
be measured against the hearts of normal people.

748
00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:30.960
Trying to understand and rehabilitate someone like
the likes of Brian Goldsby makes about

749
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:34.559
as much sense as trying to pick
up a turd by the clean end.
