On October 18, 2001, 25-year-old Regina Hicks left her boyfriend’s residence in Willard, Ohio, at about 8 p.m. to pick up her young son. Witnesses at the pickup location said she never arrived and her white Camaro was also missing. Four days later, on October 22, 2001, the vehicle was found submerged in a pond at Sectionline 30 in Huron County with Regina’s body inside.

The recovery of Regina’s body from the submerged car launched an investigation by the Huron County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Details about how she died remain unresolved and the case is unsolved; no arrests or conclusive leads have been announced. Her family and the Willard community continue to seek answers.

Anyone with information about Regina’s movements the night of October 18 or those four days before the car was found is asked to contact the Huron County Sheriff’s Office or submit a tip to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
