My friend just called me and alerted me to this story, it's from back home where I live and crazy shit...I know the girl who did the killing. This is fucked up. Damn...she's actually the step-daughter of one of my managers at work...He always talked about how she had tons of problems and whatnot, but wow...I don't know what to say!

A 16-year-old Milan girl, charged with first-degree murder in the death of another 16-year-old girl, made her first court appearance this afternoon.
Sarah A. Kolb of Milan was being held on $1 million bond. She is accused in the death of Adrianne Reynolds of East Moline, who was declared missing last Friday.
In reading information to the courtroom today, Rock Island County Judge John Bell said Ms. Reynolds apparently was strangled and struck with a wooden handle.
Police said Ms. Reynolds' remains were found around midnight at Black Hawk State Park in Rock Island, and in Millersburg in Mercer County. Police believe Ms. Reynolds was killed in Moline, but did not say where.
Accompanied by several relatives, Ms. Kolb was quiet and soft-spoken in the courtroom today, anwering the questions of Judge Bell. Asked about her ability to post bond, she told the judge she had a job at a local cinema.
According to an East Moline police report, the suspect told police that she and another friend dropped Ms. Reynolds off at the McDonald's in East Moline last Friday at about 12:45 p.m. According to the report, Ms. Kolb told police she and the victim had had a minor argument, but had made up shortly afterward.
Police said other arrests were possible. They did not discuss possible motives.
Family members had been putting up fliers since last Friday asking for help in finding the girl. In earlier interviews, her parents said she moved to the Quad-Cities in November and had made only a handful of friends locally. She had worked at the East Moline Checkers for nearly two months, but didn't show up for work Friday evening. Her father said she didn't have a driver's license and didn't know her way around the area.
