A former Kansas Jayhawks star was found dead Monday evening in the Lawrence home she shared with her husband who reportedly called police and confessed to the murder.
Regan Noelle Gibbs’ husband Chad Marek, 26, was arrested after he told officers that “God told him to kill her”.
“There obviously are some preliminary indicators that this person wasn’t mentally stable,” Lawrence Police Chief Rich Lockhart said.
“We call it being in psychosis, so obviously, that is something we are investigating as well as this case continues.”
The former goalkeeper and Marek married last fall; she played for the Jayhawks soccer team from 2015 to 2018.
“Regan was only 25, a beautiful, kindhearted girl who loved Jesus and people,” a GoFundMe page for her family reads. “She had a big heart for the homeless and hoped to go back to school to become a Physician Assistant to do mission work.”
“Regan had a precious soul and she was loved by everyone who knew her. She is leaving behind her mom and four younger sisters who are heartbroken by this tragic loss.”
