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."

The mom was generally supportive of her daughter's descent to hell.

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)

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?

[Osage Orange]

Boys don't care if girls had brown paper bags over their heads as long as they put out. ( SNIP, SNIP ) In the minds of most boys and men females are viewed by them as a dime a dozen.

Wow..!! What a broad brushed load of baloney........

[Osage Orange]

Moronic post of the day award.

When you're right, you're right.

Old news.

[NativeTexun]

You'll have to explain yourself.

[NativeTexun]

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.

[Marysecretary]

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!

[Marysecretary]

I thought they might be. I haven't heard this story on MSM yet either! Not even FOX.

[brknhrtdf00l]

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?

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.

To all this posted directed to .. ping'ing you back to this thread for purposes of #156 here .. someone claiming to be a teen defending the alleged murderers and stating, in his last paragraph, that he hopes she is not found guilt. Claims he is from that area. His thots are very troubling, to say the least. Defending Sarah .. being upset with us because of our comments regarding "Goth" .. well, just read the post and draw your own conclusions.

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.

Since he directed his post at me.. here's my response .. but refer first to 156

What's with your name? "Wide Eyed I Died"

I really don't understand much of your post except you're saying you know Sarah. The information that she is "Goth" comes from a statement made in one of the articles by one of the parents. Why are you defending her? That is what doesn't make sense. Why are you really here? Are you a relative of hers? As a sophomore in high school, I find it very troubling that you would defend Sarah. All the evidence points to her having committed this act. What is wrong with the young people of your area if they think like you .. defending the person that committed this act? Perhaps in your youth you understand the words or phrase but not the concept of "innocent till proven guilty" but when all the evidence points to a person yes, they do have to be proven guilty in a court of law, but am I correct that you said you will be disappointed if she is found guilty? You don't think Sarah should be punished for killing another girl? PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING!

If you were my child and you said to me all you've posted here I'd wonder 1) where I went wrong; 2) if you were really my child because I'd never raise a child to defend a murderer or with the mindset to excuse murder.

Where have you gained your liberal thinking at such an early age?

>>she was and is a god-free person<<

that's a major part of the problem with people who have no conscience or moral restraint

>> i would believe it was only a situation gone terribly wrong. <<

so you're putting a fender bender in the same class as DISMEMBERING a body? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?

Situations gone terribly wrong, young man (if in fact you really are who you say you are) are not deliberate acts of murder. Understand the word "deliberate!" And you fail to make ANY mention of the reports that other students had heard Sarah's threats to kill Adrienne.

>>Well thanks but i don't really remember asking for your opinion<<

Yours wasn't asked for either and it's very very curious that you would come here and "just registered to free republic to post about this." What is your real reason for being here?

This forum is a discussion forum and if you don't like the conversations posted you don't have to participate. However, around her you won't find folks sanctioning or making excuses for the actions of the COLD-HEARTED supposed friend of yours acts.

>>i'm sorry we have our differences, and i'm sorry that you dislike me <<

WHERE DID ANYONE STATE THEY DISLIKE YOU?

Just who are you .. REALLY .. and what's your agenda in posting IN DEFENSE OF A MURDERER????

[NativeTexun]

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.
