Lawrence, KS – The husband of a former University of Kansas soccer goalie has been charged with first degree murder for her death, according to Lawrence police.
Officers found Regan Gibbs, 25, fatally wounded Monday night. Her husband, Chad Marek, 26, called 911, and reportedly told the dispatcher that God had told him to kill her. Marek was arrested at the scene.
Police said Gibbs' killing was likely a result of domestic violence but declined to say Wednesday how she was killed.
Gibbs was a goalkeeper for the Jayhawks’ soccer program from 2015 through 2018. She was a native of Naches, Washington, and a member of two NCAA Tournament teams during her career at Kansas, according to the university's athletics department website.
Marek appeared in Douglas County District Court for a bond hearing Tuesday, according to the Kansas City Star. He remains jailed on $1 million bond.
