The murder of Ohio State University student Reagan Tokes did more than terrify a city; it exposed the cracks in a justice system meant to protect her.
On the evening of Feb. 8, 2017, Tokes finished her evening shift at the Bodega restaurant-cum-bar in Columbus at around 9:45 p.m., and texted one of her roommates that she was driving home. It was a routine message that assured her roommate of her safety every night. But nobody knew it was the last one she would ever write.
