We will be discussing the case of Regan Tokes. Regan Tokes was born on March 13th, 1995 in Edgewood, Kentucky to parents Toby and Lisa Tokes and she had a sister named Mackenzie and a beloved Shih Tzu dog named Ellie. Regan was described as being a vibrant, bubbly, compassionate young woman with a passion for life. She loved animals, she loved being outside in nature, and most of all, she loved spending time with her family, who she absolutely loved and cherished. She was raised as a Christian, using those ideologies to guide her path in life, allowing her to put her focus towards caring for others. She spent years going on missions with her church, helping the less fortunate. While attending Anthony Wade High School, she played on the lacrosse team as well as varsity tennis all four years.

In addition to being very athletic, Reagan was also very intelligent. She graduated from high school with honors. In fact, she graduated with a 4.5 GPA. After high school, Reagan went on to attend Ohio State University, the university she had dreamed of attending since she was just a child. Now, Reagan and her family grew up in Ohio, so back in 2003, her father took her to a University of Ohio football game. There, little Reagan told her dad that that is just the school she wanted to go to. Even though her family had just moved from Ohio to Florida right after Reagan's high school graduation, she decided to head back to Ohio to attend school there. When she was accepted into the university, she was so proud to call herself a student there.

But because of that, she changed her major to psychology. she knew overall that she loved helping people and wanted to spend her life doing just that she actually had a job all lined up at the cleveland clinic after graduation hoping to work there for a few years before opening up her own practice she had a passion for helping others who were suffering from addiction mental health issues and psychological turmoil even while in college and all the extracurriculars she was doing and taking all of these difficult classes

Reagan still made time for her family and friends. She truly loved spending as much time as possible with the people she loved most. Now, while in college, 21-year-old Reagan, who was a senior at the time, lived in an off-campus apartment in Grove, Ohio with four roommates, Jackie, Madison, Kirsten, and Stephanie. The five women were originally assigned together as roommates in the dorms her first year, but as fate would have it, they all got along very well and became very close friends. At the time, Reagan had been dating a boy named Jake, but after some time dating, Reagan and Jake actually came to the mutual decision that it was best that they just focus on their studies. so they did end up breaking up.
