Reggie Fluty is the policewoman who first responded to the scene where Matthew Shepard was found. She is also Marge Murray’s daughter. While she was trying to stabilize Matthew and put him in the ambulance, Reggie was exposed to his HIV positive blood. Reggie was put on an aggressive post-exposure medical regime to reduce her likelihood of contracting the disease, and later tested negative for HIV. Reggie’s altruism in helping Matthew despite not having proper equipment, and her obvious care for him and his case, show that Reggie clearly is well fit for her job. Meanwhile, the conclusion of her storyline provides a clear-cut happy ending for at least one person in the play.

Quotes
And quite frankly I wanted to lash out at somebody. Not at Matthew, please understand that, not one of us was mad at Matthew. But we maybe wanted to squeeze McKinney’s head off. And I think about Henderson. And, you know, two absolutely human beings cause so much grief for so many people.
