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."
P.S. Note, I did not say "I hope you are not guilty." I did not say "I hope you are found not guilty." I simply said I hoped she would make it through alright, and that is all.
Also, if you look on my "Activity" on my deviantart page, you can see that is the only activity I have had on her page in the posted months. And she doesn't have an AIM handle listed on her deviantart page, which is the only messaging service I have.
Posting out here is just frustrating me as it seems no one is entitled to have an opinion that defends any different lifestyle than one of a perfect, god-fearing citizen. Unless something very important is asked I will not be posting here anymore, to it seems many's delight, because people's right wings are swinging so hard it's hard for me to try and even state anything without someone A) disecting it to bits further than it ever should be B) just blatantly stating I'm wrong or C) accusing me of somehow being linked to this.
Have you ever seen or read '12 Angry Men'?
Just because someone states "While I'll kill ya'" doesn't meant they really will. You fail to mention in the SAME EXACT POST I even stated myself I couldn't fathom hurting my father.
Okeee dokee Mr. "gaganddestroyme"
I must've eaten lunch at that Taco Bell around 50 times throughout the year when it was still a Taco Bell/Pizza Hut combo restaurant. And I've sat in the same parking lot they killed her in eating my lunch while listening to Rush Limbaugh.
The restaurant kind of has three parking lots. One on each side for about 1 row of 10 cars, then a large one kind of offset in the back. The one in the back is where I ate and would be the more secluded I guess. Even though it's a second exit/entrance for the restaurant and in the middle of a neighborhood. All the lots would have been seen at all times by the busy lunch crowd going through the drive thru. Especially the two on each side of the restaurant. I just cant believe nobody seen these girls and guy brawling in a tiny Geo Metro (it's a miracle the car can haul 3 at once).
I wish I had the opportunity to be eating lunch there that day and realized the weight of the situation. I would've given that sorry excuse for a guy someone twice his size to play with, which would've really given his spoiled, depressed, melodramatic girlfriend something woeful to write about.
It looks like DeviantArt.com has pulled their user pages. Here's some pics of the two from those pages.

Boy George?
NATIVETEXUN. I HAVE NOT ATTACKED YOU! PLEASE STOP!
You're slandering me simply because of a website I'm a user on, which the last time I checked, was illegal.
So what if the people on deviantart.com are "different" in your eyes, they're all people, and only one of them I know of is an excused murderer. THAT DOESN'T MEAN EVERYONE ON THE WEBSITE TALKS ABOUT DEATH AND DYING, OR HAVE EVEN THOUGHT OF KILLING SOMEONE EVERY DAY OVER A NICE OL' CUP OF TEA!
I'm sick of this. I have said nothing to offend you personally. My lifestyle is seemingly accurate to what you think people should be (as stated, I do not drink, smoke, do drugs and I am pro-abstinance, etc.) yet just because I happened to have talked a dozen times or so with this accused killer OVER A YEAR AGO, I'm a killer too? Not only that, but I have been accused of being an "online stalker" and "warping" Ms. Kolb. WHAT?
If that's the case everyone in America is a killer because we all love and support Mr. George W. Bush. I mean, come on, he's talked roughly 138,000 troops into go over there to kill someone, right? Not only that, but nearly 1,500 American troops have died because of it.
I'm not trying to bring politics into this, but this is just an example of the exact behavior you're showing towards me. You're condemning me for something I'm not even a part of. I do not and never have lived a "goth" lifestyle. Oh noez, I have slightly "offensive" handles, and sure, my tastes are just a tad different, but that doesn't mean I'm "evil" or whatever other ridiculous label you want to put on me.
Please, I have no idea what else to say to you. I'm not attacking your lifestyle in every single one of my posts, nor am I telling everyone out here who happens to see this thread that you're a killer too simply because you knew someone before the act. I see the following statement under the typing box, "Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts." Yet you've said things such as "The police should check his computer because I bet he told this girl to do this!" Do you really think that doesn't offend me? Do you really think that is not a "personal attack"?
God, I might as well give up. If I was a betting man I'd say I get slammed again just for posting this trying to defend myself, when any human being would do the same thing in the same situation.
Thank you for being an oh, so open-minded person.
>>"The police should check his computer because I bet he told this girl to do this!" <<
Someone else posted that to you, not me.
No real new news in this story, basically a recap of the story to date and speculation as to motive.

This is a conservative forum, for conservatives, we are very honest about what we are....Yes, it would be frustrating for nonconservative to post here, and yes, different lifestyles that lead to bad ends are not respected here. It is nothing to get upset about, there are plenty of places on the internet where you will feel more comfortable until you mature.
You have mail. (Click 'mail' found center top/ center bottom of page.)
Sarah Kolb reportedly made "hit lists." See this site..

What are people saying in your community about it? According to the link I posted to you, Sarah Kolb reportedly had been making "hit lists" since fifth grade. Yet somewhere else I read some of her "peers" were saying she was the "nicest" person.
Do you know about the band ICP .. Insane Clown Posse? There's some discussion on that too on www.yourmom.com.
Did you know any of the people involved?
And how'd you get those pictures? You must have d/loaded them before the site was pulled?
Are there many Goth kids up there? What was it like when you went to Blackhawk?
Seized items listed in Reynold's murder case:
http://www.wqad.com/Global/story.asp?S=2899256&nav=1sW7VxVn
Article lists items seized from Kolb's Geo--lighters, gas can, saws, leather belt.... items thought to have been used in the murder & dismemberment of Adrianne Reynolds.
Everyone is a bit shocked. Murder is fairly rare around here. When it happens it's likely gang/drug related, domestic disputes, etc. The usual stuff that doesnt often make you look twice.
I havent heard much of anything about the murderers other than what you've seen on the news sites.
Everyone has been saying the victim was a nice girl. I met a young teen at my mothers store who apparently went to the same school as the victim and had a crush on her. He probably wasnt the only one and Adrianne's popularity may have been Kolbs motive.
Do you know about the band ICP .. Insane Clown Posse? There's some discussion on that too on www.yourmom.com.
Yes, I heard about ICP many years ago. I thought then that they would soon be history. They have always seemed very fake and "put on" to me. I imagine their songwriting as brainstorming sessions on how to best offend their customers parents. Then all their little "juggalos" race to the store to eat it up while ICP laughs all the way to the bank.
By the way, yourmomonline.com has to have the most annoying advertising campaign here in the QC. On adverts, the O in Mom is an open mouth with the following slogan, "everybody's checkin' out your mom". The first time I seen it was in the adverts before a movie starts at the local theater. Now imagine going to a family film with your Mother during Christmas and you'll know how I felt. :P
Did you know any of the people involved?
No.
And how'd you get those pictures? You must have d/loaded them before the site was pulled?
That's correct. I downloaded them before they removed their sites.
Thanks for your links.
Are there many Goth kids up there?
There seems to be more and more these days. I started actually seeing them around town after Marilyn Manson hit his peak about 5-6 years ago. There may not be many but you notice the few you see. Especially when they're wearing dark heavy clothing under black trenchcoats in the middle of summer.
I also seen a few kids all made up in ICP makeup hanging out with the rest of the teenagers at a park near my place. It wasnt Halloween. Now that was entertainment. They did a pretty good job.
Similar to these fellas
What was it like when you went to Blackhawk?
Fortunately, I only had to take 3 or so tests there about 8 years ago. If I had failed the tests then I would've had to attend classes there. It was still an alternative school then. You didnt see too many smiles walking through the place.
Strange "handle" you've got there. So what do you do up in Illinois?
I see you just joined FR today. How'd you find the site and the posting on this topic?
I was looking up on this topic. And seen where you can voice your opion on this topic . And my name yes it is strange handle like I said IM in to Black Metal. And IM in to horror but doing this to any person in real life is crazy. I had problems with drugs and suicide as a teen my self and you have to keep your fantasies and reality seperated. And I have grown up.
IM sorry I didn't see that part when you ask me what I do up here IM a security guard. Let me back my self up when I said I had thaughts about killing when I was a teen I was picked on my this one kid for about four years. We had got in to a fist fights couple times but I hated him so bad I wanted to end him. Never did. But this was crazy over what jealousy ? Music and movies or some devil-worshiping I dont think what cause this. This girl looked like she was going to get what she wants and do any thing to get it. The boy just went along. This girl don't look like she came from a broken home or the boy just tow stupid little punks.
