GUILTY OH - Reagan Tokes, 21, OSU student, fatally shot, Columbus, 8 Feb 2017

[jjenny]

The alleged perp had a long history of bad behavior, starting when he was a minor. Sounds like his mother couldn't control him.

"At 14, he threatened his mother with a knife. At 17, he was ordered to undergo a "sex offender assessment," court records show. At 23, he served six years after a plea deal in a rape case. He was released in November."

Yes, she probably did see him---standing right beside her, with a gun in her face.

I think its more likely she saw him before the attack. jmo. Give noone the benefit of the doubt.

That's a very good point-and I did remember in one of the things that I read someone mentioned he may be responsible for recent attacks in German Village, which is right around where he lived/her car was found..here's an article I just found on it..

I thought of the Schiller Park (German Village) attacks when his halfway house location was released to the media. Three separate women in the past 2 - 3 weeks. Also, there have been 2 female employees of Children's Hospital who have been attacked and robbed on separate occasions while leaving work in the same 2 - 3 week period. Children's Hospital is even closer to the halfway house than Schiller Park. If he is responsible for any or all of these, he has been getting more brazen each time.

Agree. If she did not see him, she had no chance. If she did see him, she should have turned around and gone back to the bar for an escort.

"According to police, Golsby forced Tokes to an ATM, where she withdrew money. They said he raped her, shot her and left her in a field beside the entrance to Scioto Grove Metro Park in Grove City."

Do you assume she did give him the benefit of the doubt? What are you getting at?

 

[Spellbound]

I'm not blaming the victim, but how does this happen. Didn't she see him.

Even had she seen him, how would that necessarily change the outcome? Possibly she would have screamed, run, or fought back .... but the outcome may have been exactly the same.

A small un-armed female isn't going to be able to fight off an armed male (who is an experienced criminal).

I don't think she saw him until it was too late. From what has been reported, surveillance tape is showing her walking to her car as normal (they can't see the car itself because it's out of camera's range). But they didn't notice anything unusual on what is on tape. He was probably hiding until she got to the car.

For all we know he may have been waiting in her car hiding or in the midst of stealing it? So very unfair

I don't think he was after her car.

Agree. The SOB wanted money and violate her. His actions progressed to murder. Sociopath! Frightened to think of all the things he committed after release to get to the point of murdering someone. I'm sure he has a trail of crime in the last two months.

What I don't understand, well among hundreds of other things these animals do, is why would you park the car near where you live? Especially with evidence/DNA in the car? I guess they think they're smart enough to commit these awful acts and not be caught? But yet, smoke a cigarette and leave it in the car, that's being looked for, that belongs to a girl you just raped and murdered, and you park it less than a half mile from your house....? [emoji58]

Isn't it obvious why the car was close to his place of residence? He'd have to get home after he got rid of the car. If he got rid of the car far away from his house, how would he get home? That late I don't think he could catch a bus. By the way he was living in a halfway house for homeless released criminals.

I have a feeling that this guy 100% knew and expected to go back to jail. He was just going to try to harm and violate as much as he could before he got sent back. I do not think this guy had any real intention of hiding his crimes anymore.

Ex-convict charged in slaying of Ohio State student was on GPS monitoring

Columbus police have been looking at Golsby as a possible suspect in a series of attacks on women in German Village and near Nationwide Children's Hospital.

He didn't care. Sociopath that more than likely lived on impulse and wasn't frightened of being incarcerated again. His urge to do harm outweighed the consequence.

How was he able to commit this and apparently several other attacks if he was monitored?

 

[jjenny]

How would have monitoring stopped him? Monitoring allows them to check and see where he was. It's not going to stop him before the fact.

Agreed. Monitoring doesn't mean that a PO or someone else from LE is following a parolee around 24/7. Unless someone is under house arrest, the monitoring is only done with scheduled PO meetings (usually weekly, bi-weekly, etc.) and periodic home checks that are usually done with much less frequency.

Even those on house arrest that are allowed to go to work have some amount of freedom to do as they please. Ankle monitors only send an alert when the individual is outside of an approved area - they can still do whatever they want while in that area. There isn't any parole agreement or system in place that stops a parolee or anyone else who's been released from prison from committing another crime.

Unfortunately, people get sentences that are too light or get released on parole when they shouldn't be allowed to leave prison. That's part of why the recidivism rate is so high (along with many other problems with incarceration).

Elainera,

Remember this recent case? Unbelievable and bold as well...

The evidence shows that the men allegedly committed the crimes while wearing their GPS bracelets, he said.

“The GPS was in fact intact, attached to these suspects, during the commission of the crimes,” Quezada said.

The two men were in compliance with their regular, required check-ins with police every 30 days, Dunn said.
