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."
Cute, huh?
>>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.
<<
Some people are jealous just for the sake of being jealous. Jealousy, if left unchecked, can be a very dangerous emotion and motivation.
Like a "jealous rage." Sounds like Sarah Kolb had more than just a little "tizzy" over the new girl and her "jealous rage" caused her to act out. The stepmother of Adrienne, on last night's local news, said there were reports the two girls had had a big fight over a boy/s.
Terribly tragic .. the girl from Wal-Mart was buried today. We meant to attend the services open to the public but slept in and just now remembered it was today at 1:00.
That's two teens from our area in the last two weeks brutally and SENSELESSLY murdered! (Adrienne grew up in East Texas and had just gone to live with her father and step-mother in East Moline)
>>When chalupas are outlawed...only outlaws will have chalupas. <<
HA!!!!
>>It's pathetic that we are so stupid in this country with people that commit these unforgivable crimes.<<
You see more punishment meted out for drug dealers sometimes than murderers. Something is wrong here.
>>I hate to see my homeschooled kids miss out on socialization. <<
You say that with a wry grin, don't you? ; >
Yes, socialized to kids like this is not a "good thing."
You're homeschooling? That's quite a committment. How many are under your tutelage?
Wow..!! What a broad brushed load of baloney........
When you're right, you're right.
You'll have to explain yourself.
Disregard #149.. I looked the names up on Google and read of the crime.
But Adrienne's death is not old news. It is quite sad.
The girl kidnapped from Wal-Mart was buried today. Over 1,000 people attended.
Both of these crimes come out of our area. The kidnapping occurred here and Adrienne grew up here so it's of interest to us.
Thanks for your post on Leopold and Loeb.
Yes, it certainly does. This young woman has a demonic look about her and that would be enough to scare anyone. Carrie in goth makeup!
I thought they might be. I haven't heard this story on MSM yet either! Not even FOX.
This doesn't scare me this upsets me because it's so damn crazy It seriously makes me angry that people could do that. Not only does it affect the families and friends but all quad city residents. I drive past the Taco Bell on the Avenue of the Cities everyday and I shutter to think that at lunch time there had to have been many people in the drive through seeing what was going on and didn't intervine or call the police.. I can't look at the place let alone eat it and I like to eat.. so I think about what all the others are feeling. I just think this is a tragedy and I will never forget it. Yes it happens all over but it's still not making it settle in my friends, my family and my st0mach. I hope the killers are punished for life... not giving life. Giving them the death sentence is giving them life if anything. They should have to live with what they did and be tortured as they tortured this poor girl. Living with the guilt and shame couldn't be enough killing them is a reward to what they've done.
Kinda weird, huh?
People who part their hair in the middle are usually druggies :-)
i've just registered to free republic to post about this... i've not been very close friends with sarah, but i have known her and talked with her now and then. the aligations everyone have made against her are not only hypocritical of any point you're trying to say about "humanity" but also completely irresponsible and ridiculous. she was not a typical "goth" or a "satan worshiper" and from what i make of it these stereotypes have been established simply because she's alledgedly killed someone, has pale skin, and had multiple body piercings. that's in fact it, if it's so hard to understand from the red country we live in. a regular girl who has piercings. wow. from what i know, she was and is a god-free person, but that also means she didn't worship some "devil." for cory, i do not know him at all, but if in fact she is guilty of this crime (please people, it's not "guilty until proven innocent; unless you can be classified by people by the way you look") i would believe it was only a situation gone terribly wrong. please don't mistake me in condoning the actions resulting in the death of adrianne, but i strongly doubt people would be taking the same stances they are if the alledged killer was a posh, popular blonde girl. they would simply say "why did this happen? poor girl had so much going for her!" instead of "this girl is EVIL! i bet she doesn't even have any remorse!" sarah was in fact a very emotional person, here's something she actually stated not too long ago on her deviantart account about an argument:
"Well thanks but i don't really remember asking for your opinion. As for the debate on love .... i agree with you .. at the time when i made that deviation, i was going through a hard time in my life where i didn't know who i was, what i wanted, or who i should care about. my heart was shattered to pieces ... someone told me they loved me ... to me, the way i felt about them ... i would do anything in my power just to see her smile ... her smile was my sun. she betrayed me, she used me for her own self esteem because she needed a boost, no one cared for her the way i did, and she knows it, thats why she used me because i was the only person who saw her for what she really is ... beauty itself.
i'm sorry we have our differences, and i'm sorry that you dislike me. i understand that you don't want to end up like me, but think of it this way ... this is not the way i have ended up, i have only begon my journal on finding out who i really am, and i am changing, becoming more mature, and as far me and my friends ... you have to realize that we're just young and immature, i have years ahead of me to gain my maturity, and i'll admit, i'm not even half way there ... but for being the person that i am, i can say that i'm a lot more mature than i was the year before. i'm only a sophmore in high school. i two years time ... and sure our opinions won't differ much.
Have a good day .. i'll be visiting your gallery sometime soon, and if i do leave any comments ... don't take my opinions the wrong way please, i don't normaly have anything disrespectful to someone unless they've given me the reason. whatever problem you have with me ... i'm sure i started it, but to be honest with you, i don't even recognize your handle, i don't think we've ever spoken, and if i did say anything that offended you ... i'm sorry.
good day."
she then and still looks foward to life just as anybody else would. how shocking is that? (sarcasm.) if she is guilty, reguardless of the courts decision, i will be dissappointed... but as the public, it's you're duty not to codemn someone who is not yet found guilty by a court based on their looks, music they listen to, or anything else.
i think this is all.
BTTT
refer to #156
"Troubling if this is truly a young man from that area .. really troubling how kids of today rationalize murder and all sorts of other heinous things"
This is proof the MTV, violent videos and games and television, movies which delivers nothing but gratuitous sex and hideous voilence entertaining the youth who grow into "detached" beings from reality. We were warned about the coming of this in the early seventies. It is now here upon all of us to deal with.
I could have gone all day without knowing about this.
