EAST MOLINE, Illinois -- The dismembered body of a missing East Moline teenager has been found, and a classmate tonight is under arrest for her brutal murder. Sarah Kolb is charged with first degree murder in the death of Adrianne Reynolds, 16.
Prosecutors announced the murder charge at a news conference at Illinois State Police Headquarters this morning.
Authorities believe Adrianne was strangled and beaten with a wooden handle in a car in broad daylight at a Taco Bell parking lot in Moline. Later, her body was taken to Mercer County in an attempt to burn it.When that didn't work, her body was cut into pieces and dumped at Black Hawk State Park.
Authorities made the discovery around midnight.
Adrianne's father and stepmother, Tony and Joann Reynolds had reported their daughter missing when she failed to show up to work after school on Friday.
Kolb and Reynolds were classmates at Blackhawk Outreach Center in East Moline, an alternative school for kids trying to get their GED's. Friends there tell Newschannel 8 that Kolb had made a death threat against Reynolds the day she disappeared, and say Kolb was jealous of the new kid in school. Reynolds had been attending the school for just a few weeks, after coming to East Moline from Texas to live with her dad.
In court today, Judge John Bell read court documents that stated the crime was committed ''while acting with another,'' but so far, only Kolb has been charged.
Kolb, who told the judge today she works at the movie cinemas in Davenport, is being held at the Mary Davis juvenile detention center in Galesburg on $1 million bond.

EAST MOLINE -- Sarah Kolb and Adrianne Reynolds were classmates at Black Hawk Outreach Center. Their fellow classmates remember the chilling threats made the very day Adrianne disappeared.
"[Kolb] had mentioned to a few people that she was going to kill her," said Jackie Martinez, 17. "She [said], 'I don't care.' She told people she wasn't afraid to kill her and she would do it and she's not scared."
Adrianne was the new kid at school just a few weeks. She was trying to make a fresh start and earn a General Education Diploma.
"She was pretty and funny," said Betty Wilson, 16.
And the boys noticed. Wilson says that's what threw Sarah into a jealous rage.
"They just had some problems over boys and Sarah was upset," Wilson recalled.
Wilson said Kolb had been a student here for over a year and was popular.
"Sarah was really nice," said Wilson. "She got along with everyone and all the sudden Adianne came in, and it's totally different, she says, 'I will kill her, I will kill her.'"
Wilson was one of the last people to see Adrianne alive on Friday afternoon.
"I just saw Adrianne and Sarah and two males get into the car. I heard they were going to Taco Bell to get lunch."
Wilson says Adrianne wasn't looking for trouble. She only wanted to make a fresh start, desperate to fit in with the "in" crowd.
"Adrianne really wanted to be Sarah's friend. That was all she wanted."
I don't know. Why don't you go out on the net and read the latest news on the case.
I think you're jumping to lots of conclusions and weaving lots of possibilities and reading into stuff.
I don't have time now to google for you. I'm sure the local papers in Moline have more updates since yesterday.
I am SO glad her mother was SO supportive of her being a lesbian. I know parents who are NOT happy about that lifestyle and these are Christian girls (and one boy I know) who are involved. Their parents are sick about it. One family has twin boys who are both gay. But THIS mother was so supportive. She's as sick as her daughter! Hope she enjoys visiting her in prison. Stupid!
It's reported in an article in post #44 that they were Goths.
That might be the mother's public face. Kids do abuse, intimdate and threaten their parents. The girl could have threated to kill mom if she didn't let her do anything and everything.
It happens!
"``She says a lot of things, but she doesn't mean it,'' Ms. Carmack said.
Oh, really?! I guess she fooled you."
People are often fooled by a sociopath....part of their manipulation. Glad that she will be tried as an adult.
How right you are. Like a parent killer asking for mercy because he is an orphan. We need to get back to right and wrong, good and bad instead of this "healthy/unhealthy" crap and relative morality.
What this stone cold killer needs to learn now is how long it takes to die at the end of a rope.
But no, she will live in relative comfort for 70 years or so at taxpayers expense.
Unless the judge and jury feel sorry for the poor little thing and let her go after a few years of course!
"How many of these tragedies will society have to endure before Taco Bell is finally outlawed?"
You'll have to pry the chalupa from my cold dead hands.
"If you'll read the original post, it was over boys, reportedly. Guess the other girl, as unattractive as she looks in the posted photo, lost the boy's attention when the new, pretty girl arrived."
Judging from the look of the killer, I'm not so sure she was interested in boys. She's got WNBA fan written all over her (not that there's anything wrong with that).
LOL! Good one...

Looks like I ruined your day. :-)
She very much stood out in school,” said Auston McLain, 19, a former classmate. “Sometimes she was gay and sometimes she was bi(sexual).
.
“Her mom is so nice — very smiley, very supportive of Sarah being a lesbian,” he said.
.
Others at the Outreach Center, however, described Kolb as being jealous of Reynolds because she was catching the eye of so many boys at the school.
.
Proof this murdering girl was seriously messed up in the head. She was gay or Bi YET she was jealous of the other(any) girl getting the opposite genders attention. Confused mental case for sure.
hehe...
Growing up I thought that the alternative schools were for "bad" kids. For instance, I went to school with a kid, who over the course of two years, got himself expelled from every public school in our system. He was forced to attend alternative school.
But from reading the posts, it would seem that the alternative schools are also for kids who need to "catch up" and get their GED. Even if they aren't "bad" kids. So, who knows.
When I have questions, I sometimes see if I can't find the answers myself.
You've posted to me a number of questions that are jumping to conclusions about facts of the case.
HOW DO YOU THINK I WOULD KNOW THE ANSWERS? I don't have any more information than what has been posted.
"You'll have to pry the chalupa from my cold dead hands."
When chalupas are outlawed...only outlaws will have chalupas.
I'll bet there was an SUV parked nearby.
Police look for a third murder suspect in Reynolds case
Two teens are in custody in the death of an East Moline girl and police could be looking for a third suspect.
Cory Gregory, 17, Moline and Sarah Kolb, 16, Milan are charged with first-degree murder. They're accused of killing Adrianne Reynolds January 22.
Police say Reynolds was strangled and hit on the head with a wooden handle in a Moline restaurant parking lot. Her dismemberd body was found at Blackhawk State Park in Rock Island.
An autopsy was performed Thursday, but Rock Island County deputy coroner Brian Gustafson says the cause of death won't be released until the investigation is wrapped up.
Rock Island County State's Attorney Jeff Teronez says the victim and suspects were familiar with each other and there could be more arrests in the murder. Terronez says he can't talk about a possible motive until the case goes to trial.

Should have posted this story earlier. Initial reports indicated that Kolb & Reynolds went to Taco Bell with two males. One male has been arrested. I read another article--maybe last night/ maybe this morning--about the other male & something to the effect that he left the group when the beating started....& IIRC, this was a second hand account--according to what he'd told friends. If anyone else read this & has a link handy, please post...that is, IF you have time. ;-) Thank you!
>> Initial reports indicated that Kolb & Reynolds went to Taco Bell with two males<<
This is not new. It was stated in the original post.
This account corroborates that Gregory has been charged with two counts of first degree murder. The question remains: Who is the other victim?
