Once Reagan got the diploma at commencement, she was going to move to Cleveland, and perhaps work for the Cleveland Clinic.
She planned to attend graduate school, a step in the direction of getting yet another degree in the field of psychology or psychiatry, the field in which she knew she could help people.
On Feb. 8, 2017, a man who will now spend his life in a prison cell for kidnapping, raping and murdering Reagan.
Her last words to that stranger were “I just want to live.”
Brian Golsby, had been trolling through the neighborhood around 9 p.m. on February 8 looking for potential victims.
He started around Wexner Medical Center and crisscrossed the neighborhood, down around 5th and High Streets, down Summit Street and down some of the side streets east of High Street.
9:45 p.m. Tokes had left Bodega following a work shift.
While walking to her vehicle, she ran into Golsby who abducted her.
He forced Tokes to the Chase Bank on South High Street to withdrawal money.
The pair drove around Columbus attempting to visit other ATMs before returning to Chase Bank and forcing her to give him $60.
Tokes was raped by Golsby after visiting the ATM.
11:55 p.m., the vehicle had traveled to Scioto Grove Metro Park. The vehicle was there for up to 10 minutes.
Tokes was killed at the park.
She died from two gunshots to the head.
A cigarette butt found in her car gave investigators DNA which led them to Golsby.

He was sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole among other charges from his violent crimes leading up to the murder.
Golsby had just got out of prison three months earlier, for the rape, carjacking and robbery of a pregnant woman.
He was wearing an ankle monitor and was living in a halfway house at the time he murdered Tokes.
Golsby and missed curfew, which would have had his probation revoked and sent him back to prison, had someone been keeping track of his ankle monitor data.
Tokes' family got their bill, "The Reagan Tokes Act," passed.
The act will attempt to overhaul several parts of Ohio’s criminal justice system, including doing away with determinate prison sentences, reducing caseload burdens for parole officers and changing how GPS technology is used to track convicts once they’re released from prison.
