What Happened to Regina Hicks?

About this episode

The episode chronicles the tragic death and delayed justice for Regina Hicks, highlighting the breakthrough in her cold case.

The episode chronicles the tragic death and delayed justice for Regina Hicks, who disappeared in 2001 and was found drowned in her car. Although her estranged husband, Paul Hicks, was long suspected of the crime, the case remained cold for nearly twenty-five years due to a lack of forensic evidence. A major breakthrough occurred in 2025 when a key witness came forward to describe how Paul incapacitated Regina and intentionally drove her vehicle into a pond. This testimony led to a high-profile trial and conviction, resulting in a life sentence for the defendant. The narrative highlights the persistence of investigators and the emotional impact on Regina’s family, who waited decades for accountability. Ultimately, the source emphasizes that new witness accounts can solve even the most stagnant cold cases.
