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."
Read from 156 on. A young man has posted under "wideeyedidied" in defense of the "lifestyle" of these perpetrators.
Kids living on the dark side of hell .. so very sad.
>>I didn't see that post as defending anything. It looked to me more like a plea for adults who don't really understand Goths from Shinola to avoid pidgeon-holing this girl on the basis of piercings or references in newspapers. <<
Perhaps you're correct.
Read on down .. wideeyedidied has posted more ... visit his website ... guess it's the point of reference he is writing from
i don't prefer the "dark side." i do like things a little "edgy," but i have a definite sense about myself. i am a happy kid, i do not dress like a "goth," i'm pro-abstinance, i do not do drugs, i do not drink, i do not even take asprin for headaches because of an oath i have made to myself to be the best and healthiest person i can be. the reason my links are what they are is money. art is my job, and if i can get payed, i will draw or design what people want. twiztidcentral used to be a website ran by a good friend of mine, who lost the domain not too long ago.
it's simply that that my original post was about. the fact that you get the idea that i "prefer the dark side" because of a few items on top. granted, you do not know much about me or even i existed until today.
the "darkest" thing about me is that i support body modification and actually plan on going into the field of tattooing soon. not "to be different," or "to rebel" as one would think, but because it interests me. the changes one can make to their body... but anyway.
But I have some Aggie blood too. ; >
Didn't attend there but certified thru a program taught by them.
thank you. i'm glad to see someone understood. :)
and yes, sarah was bi-sexual. i'm not even sure if it was the victim she was talking about. someone made a derogatory comment about a piece of art she submitted saying that love didn't exist, and down-talked her, and the quote i put in was sarah's response to the assault.
very mature.
how's that?
Well, hey... we all have a cross to bear.
[sensing the coming Aggie Jihad] WHOA... just kidding! :)
>> the quote i put in was sarah's response to the assault <<
what assault? The murder of Adrienne?
Are the comments you're referring to posted on deviantart.com?
Was Sarah a regular poster there?
i'll take your word for it...
no, the comment someone else said to her on deviantart.com.
her art/profile has been taken down, i'm not sure why, possibly legal reasons, but sure, her part of the site is: http://sarah-boo.deviantart.com/ if you wish to take a look.
What Sarah allegedly wrote: ''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.''

Additionally, Nick, I agree with your assessment of what wideeye wrote and agree w/ the substance of what wideeye said. A lot of posters have been way too quick to draw conclusions...crap, we don't even know why the alleged perps have each been charged with two counts of first degree murder and that's just for starters.
"People really were talking about "satan worship" and whatnot, and there is really no call for that. We just don't know."
(unreal) Yeah we don't know about all that other stuff BUT we do know one crackpot girl killed another human being and dismembered her. So keep on twisting and turning and defending poor poor Sarah. Gosh poor lil ole thang, she's been through so much. Now, who was that other girl, you know, the dead one. Oh that's right lets forget about her besides she's dead now. Why bother (sarcastic and disgusted)
Victims Rights now! Don't let victims become disposable nothings.
New development in the case. A third teen has been arrested (Monday). Not a lot of details, but here's the story:

"Police said Gregory told them he was “merely a witness"
That makes him an accessory to a murder, correct? Idiot didn't step in to save her life. Throw him in prison for life too. Heartless jerk wads.
