Sarah Kolb, 17, choked, beat, burned and then sawed into pieces her 16-year-old friend Adrianne Reynolds over a boy. Sarah Kolb's Ex-boyfriend, Cory Gregory, is also being charged with murder, his trial is set for May 1, 2006.
The murder was apparently planned as Kolb wrote about wanting to kill Adrianne Reynolds in her journal just hours before she did so.
Sarah Kolb and Cory Gregory got Adrianne Reynolds into Kolb's car on Jan 21, 2005 and a fight broke out at a fast food restaurant. It is then believed that Kolb then beat and strangled Reynolds and that Gregory then finished her off. The two then took Reynolds body to Kolb's grandparents farm, burned it, and returned several days later where they sawed it up and spread the pieces in two separate locations in the area.
Adrianne Reynolds had just moved to Illinois from Texas a few months before and was just trying to fit in with her new school.
I just can't see how someone could this, it's beyond comprehension.

Reynolds' stepmother said Kolb is "a girl without a soul."
"She didn't cry, I didn't see nothing from her," Joann Reynolds said.
Kolb's court-appointed attorney, though, said the teen is not the vindictive killer portrayed by prosecutors. David Hoffman said he spoke briefly with Kolb after the verdict.
"She was scared and anxious and now she's probably as depressed as hell. That's the way I would be," Hoffman said.
We here at Diggers Realm assume that David Hoffman is not a cold hearted killer though and therefore his projections of how he would feel is irrelevant.
The Reynolds and Kolb families wept quietly as the jury was polled. Kolb's family declined comment as they left the courthouse, but Hoffman said they were "devastated."
Jurors declined comment as they rushed past a crowd of reporters outside the courthouse.

Kolb showed no reaction as the verdict was read.
Horrible. All over some stupid boy who was her ex-boyfriend and probably will not give a crap about her in 3 months.
