So we haven't even said what the case is yet. So the case is the case of Sarah cold her I'll say accomplice, but he was pretty involved. Cory Gregory that and the victim is Adrian Reynolds Poor Adrian. I know this case is fuck. It is. This is a hardcore one So this is one that a lot for some reason I just remember this being one of the first cases that I really, like one of the first like non-serial killer cases that I really dove into.

So like we said, the three main players in this one are Sarah Colbe, Cory Gregory, and Adrian Reynolds. They were teenagers attending an alternative high school. It was called Black Hawk College Outreach Program in East Molene, Illinois, and this happened in 2005. It's really, isn't that long? No, it's really, it's the year after I graduated high school. And I looked it up and this college outreach program still exists, it's still there. And it really is kind of like a community college

situation. But I guess it was more for kids that needed to get their GED, you know, kids who got kicked out or dropped out of high school, had behavioral problems, all that good stuff. I saw a bunch of documentaries about this case, and a lot of the kids that hung out with these three people. All said the same thing that it was kind of for, like, troubled youths. Makes sense. In one of the words of one of the students that was interviewed for the docs I watched about this, it's a quote, blackhawk outreach was the kind of school that the rejected kids, the kids that didn't excel in school, people that got in a lot of trouble were sent. Okay. Now let's talk about Sarah Cole. Sarah Cole was 16 years old at the time,

and she was a popular girl in the school, but popular is like a weird term to use here, because it's not the same kind of click situation that a traditional high school has. Because it's sort of like a different high school. Yeah, so it's like kind of a different situation. These are a bunch of rebellious and like trouble kids, like we said. So she was a self-proclaimed jugalow.

Jim, sure a lot of you know what jugalows are, but it's people who are very much into the fandom of ICP the insane clown posse. It's any kind of like you know what I mean but they all have in common that they really dig ICP in the style and the message which by the way if you look into ICP they're like some of the most charitable humans and they're very quiet about it they don't say a word they just like do good nice charity exactly they don't do yeah they don't do it to get a pat on the back exactly

So you know just know that these kids are these keep kids my big give jugalos a bad name But like they're not back. It's they does nothing to do with them being jugalos But it's just this is what fun fact. This is what brought them together. So Everyone described Sarah as someone who would speak her mind as someone you did not want to cross. And, uh, she was also described as Mothi and inconsiderate at times. Alright, she had a fiery temper, she lashed out a lot. In fact, Cory said when she got mad, she would get mad at the littlest things, and she would fly off the handle, throw things, scream, serious anger problem. Now because of this, she was seen as an alpha female, and basically the queen bee of this group of outcasts.

Even the cops in the dark I was watching described her as a leader and very confident in herself. Oh, good. So she had something that drew people to her, which is a super shame considering what she is. She turned out to be a hideous murderer. It's just always kind of shitty when people mess up potential like that.

It's like, you obviously have something about you that draws people in, like use it for a good thing. Yeah, exactly. You could have done it for me. So as they often did at this school, one day Sarah and some other students were outside on campus smoking, like between classes. According to a friend in

November 2004 Sarah saw a brand new girl who had just transferred to the school and said quote hey she's hot and that was it. She was gonna get to know her. This girl was Adrian Reynolds. Now Adrian Reynolds was from Texas. She moved to Illinois because she was getting in a lot of trouble. She moved from Texas. She moved to Illinois because she was getting in a lot of trouble. She moved from Texas to live with her dad and stepmother because she was having huge issues living with her biological mother and stepfather in Texas. Her mother had had her at 16 years old. I know there's tons of success stories about this out there for sure.

Like a lot of people who this happens to, they, you know, get it together and they're good moms. This was not one of those situations. Oh, that's sad. Unfortunately, before she turned 12 years old, she had three assault charges on her, in a stint in rehab under her belt. Oh wow. Four 12 years old. Do you know she went to rehab for? No, I don't know exactly. I'm assuming it was, I mean, they said was in dead, you know, she was drinking she was Shit, I mean she was probably like smoking pot and it's kind of like you know Well, maybe drinking. I don't know. They might have just done it to get her straight, you know I mean try to get her on the straight narrow her father Tony acknowledged that she was

Exit that she was probably smoking pot and drinking and just being a bad kid well in Texas But he thought he could be the one to put her on the right path that she was probably smoking pot and drinking and just being a bad kid, well in Texas, but he thought he could be the one to put her on the right path. In the words of her dad, quote, Adrian was a handful putting it lightly. So she came there, she had had a lot of trouble going on. She had obviously, she had assaults under her belt, she was in rehab, she was now cutting, so she was self-harming and was obviously in a bad place. So that's a lot to take on all at once.

Definitely. But they gave it their best shot at it. By all accounts, her father and stepmother were loving parents. So besides the obvious issue she was dealing with, her dad said that they sent her to black hawk outreach because she didn't have nearly enough high school credits to catch up in a regular high school setting. So black hawk provided students with a way to get their GEDs, which is what she was going for. Because they said she just didn't like going to school. She didn't like homework. She didn't like doing any of that, you know, a lot of kids.

So Sarah and Adrienne met that day in November 2004. They became quick friends. Sarah kind of took Adrienne under a wing. Adrian's stepmom said that she was so excited that she had not only met a friend so fast, but that Sarah was like a popular chick at the school. She had a lot of power. We all know high school is all about popularity and no matter where you are.

So they talked on the phone all the time, they spent a ton of time together. Like they clicked right away. Adrian's parents were not thrilled about this friendship. Well, because she's like the popular girl at the same time. Exactly, like a bunch of belt cast. Right, exactly. And they kind of judged Sarah on her parents, which I guess in this case turned out to be correct.

Right. But they saw that she was dressed in all black, she would have the chains, she had black hair, she was a little jaded. They were a little what they were handling. Exactly. So I think they just wanted her to be, you know, on the right path and this was seeming to be a little scary for them. Right. Side note. I was watching a documentary about this. And Sarah's friend, I think her name was Amber or her hard. I can't pronounce her last name, but it doesn't matter, Amber. She's in the, I think it was an episode of I Killed My BFF, is what I was watching, which those are so bad.

I love those. They're like so bad that they're good. But I had to watch it. She's Amber as a star. Love what she do. She's so theatrical. Oh no. It seems like she's acting, but she isn't like, it's great. What does she say?

She's great. I don't even know how to describe her. Like, when she describes things, it seems like she's acting from a script. Like, she is what you need in one of those documentaries when they're like talking about the murderer. I'm going to find it. You have to find a clip of it on YouTube or something, because it's amazing. Amber, she's great.

So, back to this. Now, apparently, Adrian was also known to be pretty flirtatious with the boys at school. She was like a boy-claraly 16-year-old. I mean, same. Everyone's been like, where I ended up, it's fine. And... But she was also pretty flirty with Sarah immediately.

Sarah openly identified as bisexual. Friends said that Adrian was bicarious. That's what Corey said. He said she wasn't openly bisexual, but she was definitely starting to have feelings for Sarah. Dip in her tone. She was just dip in her tone. And it was Sarah who she was wanted to have her experiences.

She was interested. So according to Corey, they started talking about dating. Like they were trying to feel each other out. They were trying to get this thing going. So once their friendship really started taking off, Adrian started kind of like adapting to Sarah's way of dressing and music and all that. She just wanted to fit in. Like she's brand new. She's trying to keep Sarah spits on her, you know, it means she's like a powerful chick. So she just kept going with it. Now Sarah basically introduced Adrian

to all the cool kids at school, like cool kids, whatever that means. One of the kids was Sarah's best friend and former, I guess former boyfriend, they say they dated slight, like I felt like a minute, Corey Gregory. Ta-da-da-da-da-da. The two of them, Sarah and Corey, were literally inseparable according to

friends and Cory had been infatuated with Sarah. He was in love with her. Oh God. And it was since they met. He said the second they met, he was in love with her. And to this day, that dude is like that dude has a bad like it's like she formulated a love potion. It's like in the craft when he's in the scissors. When he's like showing when Chris is showing up in her door and being like, I just need to be around him. Oh, my God.

Oh my God. It'd be wild if his name was Corrie. That's cool. But and it's a sea, I guess. Oh, we're close. It just reminds me of it because he's so like, he's got these big eyes and he's just like, Sarah, I am loyal to Sarah.

And I'm like, you're hooked up with, in the craft, he had hooked up with, and it's not your round. Who in this case would have been Sarah. Oh my damn. This bananas. Yeah, this is a lot I would just we just made a like a connection here. Oh, we are not This is the craft that was a journey so Back to the earth. This is the craft before the craft or after the craft but whatever So yeah, so Karen Cory was in love with Sarah Sarah was like hot and cold on him, and mainly just wanted to be best friends.

Problem was, she was also super possessive of him. Oh good. And wanted to control everything about him. Like, he was not gonna hang out with other girls that just wasn't gonna happen. She didn't want him, but nobody else could have it either. Friend said that Sarah literally had Cory wrapped around a finger and could tell him to do anything,

and he would do it as evidenced by what happens. Now, with Adrian joining them, they were the three of them were inseparable at this point. Everybody said the three of them went everywhere together. Cory's own mom said, quote, Cory really wanted to be boyfriend and girlfriend with Sarah. Really bad. And I think Cory, in the back of his mind, thought if he'd just hung in there long enough as her best friend, she would someday see him as a boyfriend because he was loyal to her and hung in. Wow, this is sad.

I know. Corey expressed his feelings to Sarah in a letter once he said quote, I love you. I have since I first laid eyes on you. You are all I think about. You are the only one I felt I could speak my emotions to. And I want you to know I'll always be that for you. Wow.

I know love is such a kind of a trick. And also, he's telling the truth. Like he will always be there for her. Even in prison. Till death do them part. Yeah, it's so true. Because he's hanging in there. Or in prison do them part.

Yeah, prison does them part. So Sarah was at, you know, with all this going on, Sarah was developing serious feelings for Adrian. Okay. And friends said Adrian was ready to try things. Like they were on the precipice of this wonderful relationship. That I wonder if it had happened. What would have happened? It's really good. What I did. Something would have happened badly, but it's like, I wonder what happened, what would have happened? It's really good what it ended. Something would have happened badly, but it's like, I wonder how, what would have happened. So rumors started flying around this time about them,

you know, like, are they, aren't they, blah? It's like the Brad and Angelina. Right. So, but things started changing a little bit at this point too. Adrienne was in DeSera, but she was also getting noticed by a lot of boys at school. Like every dude that they had on any interview I watched all commented on Adrienne's looks and how

dudes all over school were in there. It's like she was like she was like Regina George. Oh shit. And uh, but Katie Haring, because she was there. But Katie Haring, exactly. Oh, you are on, you are on the movie references here. So, uh, so yeah, apparently she was every dude was like falling all over themselves for it. So because of this Sarah began feeling like Adrian didn't need her anymore. And like she loved that. Oh, yeah, like when Regina George realized that Katie didn't do it anymore. Exactly. And you know how that happened. Some people listening right now are like, who the fuck are they talking about? So we're going to get a one star review and iTunes

that's like, don't listen to these Valley girls. They talk about Mean Girls way too much. iTunes reviews. So because of this, Sarah obviously was feeling a little out a control here. She was starting to feel like she was losing Adrian. And she was also kind of feeling like she was taking over her spot as Queen Bee of the school here. So the control issues were a flying. Now even though she was starting to get concerned for her top spot, she was still interested in dating Adrienne.

So Sarah said to friends that because of all this happening, she was starting to feel a little like, she was losing the grip here. She was like, I need to test Adrienne. She wanted to see if she was loyal and she was like, I need to see if she's the kind of person I do want to date. Cause I feel like she might not be loyal to me.

I feel like a Sarah cold test is not the thing. I don't fail. I'll never take a Sarah cold test is not Yeah, I don't fail never take a Sarah cold test Never know. No her tests are no you fail no matter what it's always a feeling Even if you pass with flying colors you fail so one night Sarah and Corey invited Adrian to a party at a place in rock island called party house I would love to go to Party House. You were Party House. I believe you're not wrong.

I, yeah, this would be, except I don't know if this would be your kind of Party House. This would be where I would do my dance. This would be your golf dance. Yeah, like, yeah, that would be you. And they'd be like, you can do that right off the door, sir. They'd be like, bye. Oh, so, you look along.

Apparently it was known Party Place that some of the door, sir. They'd be like, bye. Oh, so you don't belong. Apparently it was known party place that some of the jugalokying rented. Once they all got there that night, Adrian and Sarah arrived together, but then Adrian started talking to a guy and getting a little flirty. As this happened, Sarah was getting fucking rage. Just, she was going, people said she was just like,

she was turning red. Like steam was coming out of her years and Adrian ended up sleeping with this guy at the party. Yeah, I see Sarah took this as full on betrayal Like she failed the test. That was it. We I brought her to a party. That's it like you know you know high school It's very black and white. Oh, you failed. That's it. No more. Goodbye. There's no gray area. Have fun. And lunch in the bathroom. Now that night, Sarah ended up pulling a knife on Adrienne.

The fuck? Yeah. Her friends all said they saw it as ridiculous. They were like, what the fuck, Sarah? But they also knew Sarah to be a person who constantly hurled empty threats of people. They said she was always saying, I'm going to beat the shit out of this person. I'm going to kill this person. I'm going gonna do this clearly. She didn't do it. So they were just kind of like, okay, that's Sarah

She's crazy. Right. So Sarah was clearly jealous of Adrian for a myriad of reasons One, she was into her and she was pissed that she felt like she was being led around Two, she was getting a lot of attention from guys and this pissed off Sarah too because she used to be in that stuff. Yeah. And three, she was getting popular and it was coming easy to her. It was just happening. So she wasn't needing to be attached to her all the time anymore and this really fucked with Sarah. People said like this was really affecting her. The fact that Adrienne was becoming self-sufficient and wasn't needing her was like really just where where it all went wrong Sounds like a very awful relationship. It is it's a toxic relationship because it's like She needs Adrien to need her right and once she doesn't need her like she needs her to be totally dependent upon her

And like who actually has bad relationship like don't ever be in a relationship like that kind of. When one person is absolutely needing you to be fully dependent on them and requires it, that's no good. So they're ended up being another party at the same house. And I believe everything I read, I think I saw that it was like the next night actually. Shit. Adrian, yeah. And I think Adrian went to this party without Sarah. She went by herself. Which that in itself was like she's branching off. She doesn't need to walk her into the party.

Now while she was there, she hooked up with another guy. And Sarah showed up. Oh god. When she found out clearly she was mad. Again, she began yelling, screaming at her, calling her a whore, calling her her a skink and all that shit in front of the entire party. Oh that's horrible. Yeah Sarah felt like she so a friend who was there said Sarah was totally rude, totally aggressive. They're like nobody thought it was okay.

She was humiliating her in front of this party. I like nobody it was even that. Yeah and everybody was just like, what the fuck? And at one point, she told her you don't deserve to live. Which people were like, that's very dramatic. Very dramatic. Right. Like, take it down a notch, Merrill.

She needs to calm down. She needs to calm down. Yeah, she just needs to chill. I actually just am stabilizer. She's like, take a yoga class. I don't know. Like, get us together. I'm listening.

Now, Adrian ended up running out of the house crying. Oh. As most of us would do. I don't know. We did this together. Now, Adrian ended up running out of the house crying. Oh, as most of us would do, I would really see you. And honestly, go Google a picture of Sarah Colbe. If she's yelling at you like that, I would run out of the house crying. Is she scary looking? That bitch has some demon to her eyes. I don't know what it is. Uh-oh.

And it's like, she's... I don't know what, it's one picture of her when they arrested her. She's wearing like, and she's wearing like, a turtleneck, a turtleneck, no, she's wearing like a turtleneck white sweater. It's like a very, she just looks scary. I don't even know how to describe it. She's got these very demon-y eyes.

That's a dream. As a Sarah. That's a more recent picture of Sarah. So she ended up running out of the house crying. Now, Corey was the one who ran outside and... Well, this one? That's when she was arrested. Oh yeah, she looks really scary. Something about those eyes. She has very empty eyes. She does. That's what it is. They're very empty eyes. She also has a very, very circular jaw. It's her eyes that get me that she has very empty eyes. That's

exactly the way to describe them. Yeah, that's really spooky. And so Corey, like I said, Corey was the one who ran out in console delivery and when she ran out of the party. Now, this is when Adrian started seeing Corey as more than just Sarah's friend. And you know, I mean, like she was like, oh, this guy is really nice.

He's helping me. Corey in the interview said they had hung out a couple of times alone before this, without Sarah's knowledge. And they were chemistry between them. He was like we liked each other this really pissed Sarah off Of course remember Sarah needs to control Corey. Well, that's like that is the ones it Adrian is one thing Corey Lays like on a pedestal Sarah was the one who convinced Corey to transfer to this school. Oh shit. Yeah, I guess they met at a mall You know that's very 2000s. So this moment when that when he runs out to console her is when everything changes between Sarah and Adrian

This is when just nothing's gonna be the same. Uh-oh. So Cory and Adrian began passing Flirty notes besides behind to Sarah's back Which is so high school. I miss notes. One note in Adrian's journal said, Pinky and Cory written on top. Well, that's how people called her. I guess so. And said, quote,

I love Cory Gregory because he is respectful, cute, nice, honest, and the sweetest guy I've ever met. And I think I'm beginning to trust him. Oh. This makes me want to scream because she trusted this jagged meat. That's actually so fucked up. Like she literally wrote down I think I'm beginning to trust him. That like it gives me the chills.

Yeah. Now one night, Adrian and Corey went to the movies together and didn't tell Sarah intentionally because they knew she was going to break out. Break out. She pulled a knife on Adrian. Well, Sarah obviously out. She pulled the knife on Adrian. Well Sarah found out. Wow, this show would have been so different if Corey was like actually like a standoff guy. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah We didn't there's many times he could have stepped in and really saved stopped a lot of the tension from building

but um, so Sarah found out because Sarah Cole will always find out whatever you're doing right now. Sarah Colbe's gonna find out. She's all knowing. Like I just feel like she knows. She knows that we just made fun of her body. She did. I'm terrified. Sarah Colbe.

I don't know, man. She's something about her. Most boiler alert, I don't think she's coming out. Yeah, I don't think so either. But like I feel like she knows still. She's around. I don't know. Sarah coming out. Yeah, I don't think so either, but like, I feel like she knows still. She's around. I don't know. Sarah Cole, go away.

Major X. So Sarah was, you know, mildly upset about it. She was so moderately. She felt betrayed by Corey and she was threatened by Adrian again. So she started telling everyone not to talk to Adrian and started bad mouthing her to everybody. Very high school. Calling her terrible name.

She's a slut. She's a whore. She's all this good stuff. And again, very high school. All of this is so high school, but so dark high school. This is very um, reform school. This is very reform school. It is very reform school. This is like a high school fever dream. Yeah. So Adrian, so she was going, you know, badmout all that good stuff Adrian decided she wasn't gonna go back at her Like a lot of people might do. So probably wasn't worth it. Adrian's resolution was she was gonna try to win Sarah's friendship pack

That's probably smart. It is. I would want to do it. Didn't work out, but it's good to tend. Good tactic. The more Sarah pulled away, the more Adrian wanted her back in her life. Adrian started writing Sarah a ton of notes and shit. She was calling her every day multiple times a day. Corey said she called her all the time. Like it was kind of getting to be a lot. One note said, quote, Sarah, why do you hate me so much and why do you want me to die? Jesus.

She was persistent and she was genuine and Sarah was fucking awful to her in response. Then on January 21st, 2005, out of the blue, Sarah asked Adrienne at school if she wanted to go get lunch with her at Taco Bell, as one does. I fucking love Taco Bell. I've been at Taco Bell in so long. Taco Hill. Taco Hill. She had told a lot of people she was going try to patch things up with Adrian and she told

Adrian that too she was like let's go talk let's fix this oh no so Sarah Adrian Corey and a kid named Sean McHitrick who has never mentioned in this I like he's rarely mentioned in all the documentaries completely leave him out he was there he was there yeah because I've watched a ton of the first day for the murder he was in the car, though, for part of it. So, and he's never in any of them. I'd like, I wonder if he was like a minor and gone off. No, he just, he wasn't there for the murder. So I think they just don't think of him as pertinent, but he was there in the beginning. Yeah, that's weird. So yeah, Sean McKitchick was in the car with them. They just leave him at

all. They all got into Sarah's car. They went to Taco Bell. Sarah was driving. Adrian was in the front passenger seat and Cori and Sean were in the back. Cori said the tension was insane in that car. He said he was just waiting for the fight to happen. Like it was just hanging out there. They pulled into the back of the Taco Bell and almost immediately the two girls started screaming at each other and shit just started going bad. Now the details are fuzzy. He's released a little now, but Sarah and Cori are the only ones left alive that were there for the whole thing.

And they both are titanic-sized hemorrhoids. The documentary I was watching had Cori Gregory saying, quote, I don't want to touch upon that subject as far as the specifics of that day. What happened in the car that day is between Sarah, Adrian, and myself. Like her fucking family doesn't deserve to know what happened here. Makes me like what an asshole. It's just the last thing you have.

Adrian's dead to imply that she's part of like this little secret triad of like fucking shittiness that includes Cory and Sarah is unreal to make her murder. So she's between the three of us. No, it's not between her two, she's dead. Yeah, she died. You guys killed her. Don't act like she's part of this little secret society

of yours. You killed her. You killed her. I don't know why that went up my ass. It really makes me really mad. It's like he's almost in the crime as an accomplice like you know what I mean? Like he's almost including her and it's on their level. It's just really gross So of course he maintains that he didn't know what was gonna happen when he got in the car

The argument in the car started over the fact that Corianne Adrienne had hung out alone and kissed without telling Sarah Mm-hmm and it quickly escalated Sarah started hitting Adrienne and according to Corey, quote, Sarah just kept screaming and screaming and then grabbed her hair and started whispering in her ear. And then Sean, Sean told her to stop and she told Sean, if you don't like it, get out of my car. And I feel like Sean got out of the car and walked away.

Which props to Sean for not sitting by and watching this bullshit happen. But I think he was just like, I'm not involving myself. It's two teenage girls if they're going to fight it out. That's it. So then Sarah grabbed her by the back of the hair, turned her to Corey and said, you stay away from him. Corey, now Corey is a tough guy and a real man of honor. Just saying, you know. So he just sat back there and didn't do anything. Good. Yeah.

In the interview I saw, he said, the tension was so bad that it's just the fight seemed inevitable. It was just gonna happen. So he figured the best thing to do was just to let them fight it out. Yeah, but there comes a point where you need to step in. Stay classy. Like when somebody's hitting somebody, you should be all this. Well, it's a big step in. And you know it's over you. Right. That's why you're fucking. Like start mediating you dick.

He put it in the fridge. Yeah, he loved it. So he did open up to date line about what occurred. So he said before news between us and then date lines came in the morning and he was like, I'll talk. So he said, quote, about what happened in that car. He said, quote, Sarah's on top of Adrian and she's choking Adrian. And then Adrian goes out and Sarah gets off her and sits in the car, sits back in the front seat. We sit there and smoke a cigarette for a while. We thought she just passed out. We were waiting for her to just wake up. And then finally we looked back and her face was blue. And we just started freaking out after that, you know. We didn't know what to do. Now what has now come to light is

that that's not the way that that happens. Yeah, that's bullshit. Because so Corey, the very loyal to Sarah, through her the fuck under the bus and was like, she did it. Right. Just sat there. Adrian ended up landing. What happened was Adrian ended up landing a punch on Sarah's nose. And this is when Corey stepped in. Uh-oh. He grabbed his belt and held Adrian's arms while they strangled her together with the belt. Even in the interview today, he said, quote, I'm always on Sarah's side.

What the fuck? Right. And he said it, I think I'm always on Sarah's side. What the fuck? Right? And he said it. I think I can't remember which one it's with. You had a chance with Adrian. Yeah. And I don't know which one it's in, but like he's sitting there. And it's like, it just clips to him.

And he's just sitting there. And he has these huge eyes. That's like bugging. Bugging. And he's always smirking. And he sat there and smirks and just goes, I'm always on Sarah's side. And you're like, okay. Now don't worry guys, because according to Corey, Sarah started to cry when she had beaten

and strangled Adria. Oh, so don't worry. Don't worry, she cried guys. So she's somewhat human. Of course that didn't last for long, because then they were like, cool, cool, cool. How do we get rid of this now? Like what do we do? So we can't call the police, we can't do that.

We can't call an ambulance. Let's not call an ambulance, because we're not medical doctors and don't know if she's dead. So, Sarah was like, my grandfather has a farm. That seems like a great place to dump a body. So, they drove out there and attempted to bury her in the ground, but the ground was frozen.

So, these two awesome folks wrapped Adrian in a tarp, So they drove out there and attempted to bury her in the ground, but the ground was frozen. So these two awesome folks wrapped Adrian in a tarp, poured gasoline on her, and used a torch to burn her. How the fuck do you do that? Now, somebody who is your friend, you were not a person on both of them like you were intimate with. Like, that's insane. Now I'm assuming their dumbass is assumed it would just turn to a pile of ash

But that's not how it works with human bodies and fire as we have touched upon it a few episodes Days and days and days and days and a constant like 2,000 degree heat for like hours and hours and hours and hours and So they actually had to go to a store again in the middle of this to get more gas Which like really smart by yeah exactly Now the worst thing about this is Corey is such a bullshit artist. He said in one interview that they chose to light her on fire because it seemed proper to cremate her since they couldn't give her a proper burial. Sure. Like, LOL, Corey. You're such a... Like, we're supposed to believe.. Like even the interview was like,

interviewer was like, nah dude, I think you just didn't want to get caught and you had to get rid of the body. Like don't, like fuck you too, we're so upstanding that you wanted to get married. And he was like, no, we liked her, we wanted it to be proper. You murdered her, you're self-added.

You're bare hands. That's fucked. Like no. Also, it takes a long time to like choke somebody. Oh yeah. It's a death. And it takes a lot of strength. You have to really be angry to do that.

And it's personal. You have to look them in the eye as they die. I think I like watched a movie once where like these two girls drown their mom. Oh, I know that movie. Yeah, it's called like Sisters or something. It's called The Last of the Beasts. Yeah, that is a good movie. I think it's based on a true movie. It is, I think, case. But they, I think it took like seven minutes to

drive her. It can take like between four and six minutes or something. Like just thinking suffocation. I'm sure it takes at least like a full five minutes. Oh yeah. It's like, they're struggling. So you think that you realize like, oh shit, I got to stop. Oh yeah. Somebody turns blue. But nope, they kept going. And then they were like, we thought I got to stop. Oh yeah, he turns blue, but nope they kept going I was like it had to see like we thought she just passed out Well, if even if you would choke turn until she passed out that's beyond messed up like whatever So so the body didn't burn shocker. So now Sarah's like well, we have to cut it up Obviously this girl is that's the next logical thing, right? Now, Cory's a gentleman.

So he was like, I won't do that. I'll do anything for love, but I won't do that. So they immediately thought of another like decent fellow in town named Nate Godette. Who's a real ship? Yeah. Cory said quote, Nate's into blood and gore. He was the type of kid that's go, that would go around killing animals and stuff. So Sarah figured he might help. Yeah. Imagine how many friends he'd been to call if you needed to call.

And it's like, that literally like calling a friend and being like, I know you're into a lot of blood and gore and you kill animals on the rig. So can you call them cut-a-body? I need that, I just heard. And he's just like, yeah, yeah, I can. That kid is disturbed. Yeah, and feeling comfortable enough to call this person

and be like, yo, we killed someone, can you cut it off? Because they were even like really friends. No, that kid is disturbed. Yeah. And feeling comfortable enough to call this person and be like, yo, we killed someone. Can you cut it out for us? Because they were even like really friends. No. It's just like an acquaintance. They just knew him. It's a school mate. Like, what is that thing?

That's not funny. He's like, beer it there. So the next day, which was Saturday, they picked an aid up, told him about everything. He's like, wow. And asked him if he would cut up the body so they could move it. Like, they just, they literally did just do that. And they just rolled up his voice.

So he said he would. Like, it was literally that simple. What the fuck? Now the next day, which was Sunday, they picked an eight up and had him bring a saw with him. Corey says he and Sarah talked about music and all kinds of other things to keep their minds off of what was happening in front of their eyes Oh as she was hacking Adrian was being hacked up in front of them and they were talking about insane

Composite Nate was sawing off the head Sighing her arms and legs off and cutting her torso and half. Do you know how first of all what saw was he using is what I want to know and Do you know how, first of all, what Saul was he using is what I want to know. And two, do you know what cutting a torso in half, what kind of mess that causes? Because he did it for like so much bone. And organs. This shit. Your organs would be, you cut in half, you would have organs spilling out on both sides. So yeah, so right in front of their eyes, they um, they ended up dumping most of Adriene's

remains in a ravine on the farm and covered them with branches. Cory says he held open a trash bag as Nate placed the head and arms inside of it. And then they drove to McDonald's to go get something to eat. This is so gruesome, right? Cory says, so like many people have asked him like, but how did you go to McDonald's and eat? Yeah, how did you eat you literally just watch her body get chopped up and then her head and arms are in your trunk as You're chewing on your fucking Francher is we were high we'd been smoking all day dude That's that's bold to blame that on we

Like that's like you were high while chopping up a body. That would give you automatically the worst high ever. He also ate a double cheeseburger in case you were wondering. No, from there, they drove to a park called the Black Hawk Historic Site. And they were basically just trying to find anywhere that they could bury the head and the arms because they were worried those were the two things that they could bury the head in the arms because they were worried those were the two things that they could use to identify her. That's why they took the hands and the arms in the head.

Wow, this is like so well thought out. Right? Isn't it so disturbing how far they thought of it? Like they were like head dental records and obviously head. Head prints. That's where your everything is. Yeah, my mom. Finger prints on the hands.

Like so they got rid of the arms in the head. That's where your everything is. Yeah, my mom. Fingerprints on the hands. Like, so they got rid of the arms in the head and yeah. Now, meanwhile, the night she died on Friday, her dad and stepmother were freaking out because she hadn't come home from school. And she had missed her shift at a local fast food restaurant. I think it was like a checkers. It was. They said she wasn't an angel, but she never missed work. That was one thing. They said she wasn't, she wasn't an angel, but she never missed work. That was one thing. They said she actually liked work. So it was strange for her not to be there. Right. By 7.38 o'clock, PM, they called the police and filed the missing person's report.

Because they were like, this just isn't her. Right. News started broadcasting that she was missing. This, like, started right away. Police right away wondered if she had been a runaway because of her trouble pass. They were like, this is kind of, but her parents just were like, no, she didn't run away. Police right away wondered if she had been a runaway because of her trouble pass. They were like this is kind of but her parents just were like no. She didn't run away like this doesn't make sense. And her dad was like she didn't pick up her paycheck from work. What kind of teenager would run away without their paycheck? Yeah. So police started asking around now to people she

knew and Adrian's friends told police that she left school that day for lunch with Sarah Colbe, Cory Gregory, and another boy, Sean McKitry. Uh, an officer called Sarah at home, and this is how the conversation went. The police officer said, okay, you had contact with her today? Sarah, yes I did.

Police, when was that? Sarah, uh, in between 1231 police. were you in Corey giving her a ride somewhere? Sarah, yes sir. Sarah told, then told the officer that they had dropped Adrian at the McDonald's after Taco Bell because that was right across the street basically from where she lived. And they did that because Sarah said, quote, because she said that she didn't want her parents to see that she was in the car with a boy. And before when I had hung out with her one time, she told her parents that Corey was my brother.

And he's not. Now, her father, Adrian's father Tony, says I wouldn't have liked her in the car with a boy. So that did ring like, okay, maybe. Okay. Now, police said, okay. Sarah said, so I dropped her off at McDonald's, which is like right across the street from her house.

And then she said, and that was the last time I saw her. Police, you haven't heard from her since then? Sarah, no I haven't. Then Sarah was like, she probably ran away. And then she said, if you do hear anything, I would appreciate it if you would call me and let me know. Wow, go fuck yourself. What a cold blooded, yeah.

We'll call you, I, you're under arrest. Exactly. Now after a while, the police were not satisfied that she was just a concerned friend because they just had a feeling. Right. They called her again. Police, hello, is this Sarah?

Sarah, yes it is. Police, this is Officer Alan Eastmoline Police Department. Are you friends with Adrian Reynolds? Sarah, to be honest, no, I don't like her. Oh, like you killed her. She's dead. So then Sarah went into like a whole thing about how they had kind of a rocky relationship. And so the officer was like, well, why would you give her ride then? Like, this doesn't make sense. You didn't like her. Um, Sarah, why are you just saying that now? Exactly. And Sarah said, we got into an argument at school. And Sarah said, and I was like, well, let's talk it over at lunch. She had been hanging out with my friend

who likes me, and I like him, but she likes him. And we got into an argument about that because she wouldn't leave him alone. Which is so fucking absurd. High school threw up in his waste basket and then continued. You know that officer was sitting there like digging a pencil like into his eyeball is hard to see cut it He was like just what like what does that mean? She likes my friend But I like him and he likes me and she doesn't like and I don't know and she needs to stay away from him He's like okay, I killed her but So then she said at she dropped a bomb she goes I'll be honest with you

I hit her and the police said okay Put in the she said she hit me back in an all props to her, she hit me pretty hard too. Now Sarah, they were like, they were like, let's come get you. So then she said there was a fight that it did occur in the car. And then she said, we were parked at the Taco Bell restaurant, but it was during a busy lunch hour, which it was. But I guess it was really cold out that day,

so the windows were all fogged up So nobody could see they did have one guy who said he walked by this car during this time and it was rocking around Oh, and he said it was he thought it was like two teenagers was like making out or like Yeah, like do people get busy in the car so he was like oh, I don't know But he did come forward later and say I walked by I saw one car a little bit. I don't think somebody's getting murdered in a car. That's fucked imagine having walked by. Yeah, so then Sarah said and I swear to God, you know, she was crying. She's like, I'm afraid that you, you know, you're gonna beat me up. I was like, you know what? You're not even worth it. I'm not

going to get in trouble over some stupid minor who is a skank and I was like, let's just keep it simple. Stay away from me and stay away from Corey. This is what she told the police officer on the phone. That police officer bore that pencil so far into his eyeball that it came out the back of his head and wrote on the wall behind him. Like, what? I would be like, I do not care. I don't need this. Like this is not useful information.

I think so though. I feel like just tell me where she is. Like that's all I don't want to know what your life is. He's like, I'm not a therapist man. And he's like, you're the worst. So now interestingly enough, this school that they went to required students to keep journals. Oh, I remember this.

So Sarah's, they found out we're pretty interesting because once they heard all this, they were like, huh, let's read her journal. What's going on there? So her journals say, one entry says, quote, I need a vacation so I don't hurt anyone or myself. One just said, hate killed destroy and all caps. One said, what is it with people today? It seems as if everyone is driving me crazy and all I want to do is slaughter them like the fucking sheep they are. So like who is in charge of reading the journal? Soup's normal. Exactly. Like no one was like, hey you can't. No one read them. That's like where the fucking school failed. Like what?

So in January 21st, 2005, the day they murdered Adrian, she wrote into her journal, quote, so I might be getting expelled today for spreading the fucking gif. Stupid bitch needs to back up off my cool aid. She's going to give him a note. Yeah, well, I'll fucking kill her. Now, it's note. Yeah. Well, I'll fucking kill her. Now, it's not funny that she wrote. I'm gonna kill her. But the she needs to back off my cool laid.

What is spreading the gif? I wondered what that was. So I found something. In one of the documentaries, one of the friends of this click said that Sarah started calling Adrian Giff because she spread it. But when he explained it and this is just this whole thing, let me just be clear because sometimes people get like pissy and moany that we laugh sometimes like and try to make this like joking light. We're not making light of the fact that this girl was murdered. We're, there's certain parts of this that are kind of a lie school. Because life is funny, okay? So deal with it.

So this kid said, she called her GIF because she smeared it or something like that. She didn't get it, right? Oh, he didn't. And so I'm listening to it. And I'm like, what do you mean spreads? Like, because he was like smeared like peanut butter and I was like, no, you don't know the drug. I smeared like peanut butter and I was like no you don't know the

Drug Like that kid like third hand That's exactly it I was like that dude was not like let me tell you the inside scoop. She smeared like So read that to me again, please Quote so I might be getting expelled today. For spreading the fucking gif. Stupid bitch needs to back up off my cool aid. She's going to give them a note.

Yeah. Well, I'll fucking kill her. For spreading the gif. That sounds like she's gonna do something. Yeah. Which she did. Yeah. Well, I think that's what she meant it like.

I'm gonna spread the fucking gif like Adrian's the gif. I'm gonna fucking spread it. But they called her her Jeff because she's spread it. Wow that's fucked. Which is really fuck. Creative but fucked. Yeah that's not nice. And the fact that she wrote that the day I mean kill her the same day she killed that she signed her death warrant with that one like you wrote in your journal what you were gonna do. So it literally proved pretty much and I guess she also detailed how she was gonna trick Adrian to go lunch with her So oh, so she literally planned on this plot because part of me for a while thought that like you know like it was like a

Prima passion. No, I think she planned it Wow, like I think she knew she was gonna get real in that car and she was ready. Oh my god And so only three days after the murder, Cory told his mom out of the blue, he was like, listen, Sarah got a lawyer, we need a lawyer. And he went and spoke at like two police at the station, they interrogated him. Everything went pretty normal, like his lawyer came out and told his parents, everything went fine, it was pretty normal. I don't think anything's gonna come of it. But shortly after going home, Cory suddenly broke down crying to his parents.

He told his dad he needed to talk to the police. He was like, I have something else to tell them. And his dad, he's saying that to you. And like in the interview I read with his dad was like, his dad was like, did something happen in that car quarry? And he was like, yes. And he was like, did she get happen in that car quarry? And he was like, yes. And he was like, did she get hurt in that car quarry? And he was like, and he nodded.

And he goes, did she get hurt really bad, Cory? And he nodded and then she goes, did she die, Cory? And he does nodded. And he was like, holy shit, my heart. It gives me chills to see if it's a crime. So now his dad had to call the police on his son. Oh my god, literally look at my arm right now. Right, me too, I feel it.

Doesn't it? Like this says so many layers. That's fucked up. Now, when asked whether this was a difficult phone call to make, his dad actually gave like a super impressive answer. What did he say? He said quote, oh I don't know if it was difficult. It was the right thing that needed to be done. A family needed to know where their daughter was.

Things needed to be straightened out. I mean, you can't hide something like this. It's the right thing to do. He needs to face up to what he did, what his part was. Which you go, dad. For him to be like, a family needs to know where their daughter was. And you don't think of his stuff at all.

And not to immediately think like, I need to, I need to, I need to son, quote unquote protect my son, which no parent is protecting their kid when they, when they cover this kind of shit up. But you don't see what they're saying. But I get why people would do it.

But it's like for him to recognize like, no, it's not what you should do. There's a family of an innocent person that needs to know where their kid is. And my kid did it. And he needs to face up to it. Like that's really bad ass. Like that takes up pretty strong fucking person to do that. I don't know a lot about his dad but that one thing I was like whoa dude. Wow that's fucked. So during

his taped interrogation, Cory agreed to show police exactly where Adrian was. This was only like four days after it happened too. It happened real quick. Just after 11 p.m., again four days after her disappearance, he led authorities down a steep icy path where under a pile of dirt, they found a manhole cover. And several feet below the bag with Adrian's head and arms in it. Now there's like, in this photos from the crime scene, they don't show like the head and arms or anything. But they show inside the head and arms or anything.

But they show inside the manhole cover, you can see the bag and you can see the shape of a head. It's there. And it's to open that and see in there and be like, that's a head in that bag. Like that must, that just like blows my brain. That fucks you off. Yeah, it's just so much.

Did he bring them to the other parts too? He did, yeah, he brought them to all the parts. At 2 a.m. that night, police called Adrian's parents. Oh, no. And the worst part about it. Jesus Christ, they could not. Well, they have to. They have to.

And you have to. You have to notify right away. Oh, 2 a.m. Yeah. And talking to the dad, the dad was like, they called him and said, where, like, it's the police and we're at your front door. And he said, for a second, he was like, they called him and said, where like the, it's the police and we're at your front door. And he said for a second, he was like, they have Adrian. And he said, oh, I just felt immediately

when I was gonna cry. And he said that he thought he was like, she's in the hospital, maybe she's in the hospital, maybe she's in trouble, maybe she did something bad, but he was like, he goes, I just didn't think that was gonna be what it was, like that. And yeah, it just, oh, that's just, oh my God.

Having like little, little kids now, I can't even fathom that. That's really so sad. Yeah, it's literally, like it sounds cliche to be like, that's your biggest nightmare as a parent, but that's your biggest nightmare. You don't eat whether you know it or not. If you choose to have children,

just know that you, it's gonna change the way you see and think everything. And I'm not saying this like it sounds so cliche and so like overdone, but my husband and I have talked about this. He was like, it has changed everything about the way I think, about the world, about situations. It really does. It really does. It changes everything. You suddenly are so much more aware of how awful the world is. The world is around you. And you become so much more acutely aware of what you need to do to keep your kids safe. Like, I don't, me comes so far behind my kids. Like in to think of like a police officer showing up in the middle of the night to tell me that not only has my daughter been murdered, but by friends, two, 16 year olds, who she trusted. It's just, and then who lit her on fire

and dismembered her afterwards. Well, they sat there and talked about music. Like, I'm not a parent, but I feel like I like wouldn't want to know all those details. No, they went to McDonald's after, and I wouldn't want to know that she was burned to put on fire. Like, I would just want to know who did it, and that's it.

Oh, I think so. I wouldn't want it, because her father said that. He said, they didn't tell him immediately what had happened. But you find out. And he said it was bad enough that she was murdered, but to hear what they did to her afterwards, he's like, I will literally never recover from that.

Well, I mean, you automatically picture things like on your mind. Things that you never should have to picture in your brain. And that's so horrible. And it's, it's just so, this is just such a heavy case. But now the next morning is when Cory led police to the police on the farm where they had burned Adrian's body. And that's where the other remains were hidden,

where they had buried like her torso and leg. So she must have been like unrecognizable. Yeah, totally. They said she looked, when they asked Cory what it, you know, basically what it looked like when this was all happening Because they were like how did you sit there like this is beyond because she was so burned. It's beyond He said it was beyond anything you could imagine in a horror movie. It was the most horrific thing and you just sat there And then talked about music for her afterwards. Yeah, and they said she she was burned beyond recognition. And they...

Also, for anybody that smokes weed, you're super fucking paranoid. Well, that's what I was thinking. How would you not? You think bouncing off the walls being like, I'd be pulling things out of like light bulbs being like, they're watching us. No, yeah, you get really paranoid even if you have a fucking murdered somebody. I'll be like laying in my bed and I'll be like the cops are coming. And these people just straight up murdered someone that let it litter on fire and farm. Are you supposed to be more chill? Yeah.

You're supposed to be more like, everything's fine guys. Let's not- The other night I got really high and I put on the song and I said to Annie I was like, just hold my hand and close your eyes and listen to this song. It's gonna be them. That's what I do when I smoke. I wish everybody was there. I don't know what the fuck these people did.

They're not. I'm just trying to go on a spiritual journey when I'm high. Well, that's what they needed. They needed a spiritual journey. Well, unfortunately, it wasn't until Thursday after both Corey and Sarah were arrested. That Adrian's parents learned that she had been dismembered. That's when they learned we had to go

to two different places to get her. Which we can't even know that. I literally wouldn't wanna know that. I literally can't. But they obviously have to tell them that. Yeah, they have to. I mean, and I think it's like must just be, you don't wanna know, but you wanna know

it's one of those situations that, yeah. I feel like you just don't know what you would do in any of that situation. It's really not good for you either way, but you just don't want to know, but you want to know it's one of those situations that... Yeah, I feel like you just don't know what you would do in any of that situation. It's really not good for you either way, but you just don't. No. It's what you need in the moment. I try to never give you closer. I try to never give you closer. Yeah, no.

You never get closer from that. Because he said, her father said, like, I go running like three miles a day now, and he said every step I think about what happened there. Oh, just... Like, you can't escape it. You can't. Like, what therapy fixes that Oh, just like you can't escape it. You can't. Like what therapy fixes that? Yeah, none.

I have no idea. Well, the good news is, on February 1st, 2005, Sarah Colbe and Query Gregory were charged with two counts of first degree murder. Yeah, yeah. And they were charged with concealment of a homicide. Mm. So Sarah was the first to go to trial,

which like ironically began on Halloween day in 2005. That is just like right up her fucking house. She's so theatrical. She was theatrical till the fucking end. She really is. Well, she actually really was because the trial lasted two weeks and after 15 hours of deliberating, the jury was unable to come to you. Oh, yeah, I remember.

Oh my god. So poor Adrian's parents were probably like what? Well so they were a hung jury and it resulted in a mistrial. So they had to re-try her. And if that didn't make it bad enough it was just one juror that was in favor of um they opted for a quiddle. How? How? So 11 jurors were in favor of conviction and then I wrote but one dumbass off to the record. Seriously, you are a dumbass. Why would you ever want to acquit her?

Like, she literally strangled someone with her bare hands. In her own writings, she wrote, she wants to kill people. Like, why would she ever let her go? She like screamed at her at a party that she was gonna kill. Exactly, pulled a knife on her. So because of the mistriety, had to retry her, which then not began on February 6th, 2006. So it was like almost a full on her. So because of the mistrial, they had to retry her, which then that began on February 6, 2006. So it was like almost a full year later.

Jesus, he's poor people. So she luckily was convicted on all counts and was sentenced a few months after her trial to 48 years in prison, and then on top of that, five years for concealment, a good one. So for a total of 53 consecutive years. Good. And she's serving her sentence now at the Logan Correctional Center in Lincoln, Illinois.

So right in her like, right away. Right in the middle. Right in the middle. Tell her she has empty eyes. Yeah, tell her to fucking go fuck yourself. Fill your eyes, girl. Um, Cory Gregory, on the other hand, pleaded guilty to all charges. And on July 10th, he was sentenced to 40 years in prison for murder and five years for

concealment for a total of 45 years which doesn't even seem fair enough. No it really doesn't at all. So he's serving a sentence at Stateville Correctional Center and Crest Hill Illinois near Chicago. But in 2016 a 28 year old quarry claimed in a petition for post-conviction relief that his 45 year prison sentence was unconstitutional. Oh, obviously. Like, so is murdering someone. Yeah, that's like, I don't really care about your constitutional right. Like you took someone's life.

I feel like that's pretty constipation. Yeah, so he thinks it's unconstitutional because he was sentenced Er, excuse me because he was 17 at the time of the offense and he wasn't sentenced as a juvenile dude I don't give a shit if you're capable of murdering somebody. Yeah, I don't think you should be tried as a juvenile and in this case the extent to which he went to take care of that body like you burned a body which he went to take care of that body. Like you burned a body, you went through, you tried to bury her. That didn't work. Then you guys litter on fire.

You had to get more gasoline because that didn't work. And you probably got high on the body. And then you were like, hmm, we gotta cut her up. You sat there, you watched that happen while talking about fucking Pantera or like ICP or something. And then you got a double cheese. And then you went and got a double cheeseburger and threw her down a manhole.

And then I'm pretty sure you went to sleep that night without doing anything. So it's like, I'm sorry. So tell me again about the Constitution. Don't care. So basically he said to support his claim, he pointed to 2012 Supreme Court ruling and this ruling determined a mandatory life sentence

of life without parole for juvenile offenders as unconstitutional. I remember those is a lot of cases that got their sentences reduced because of that. Well because the decision was retroactive so anybody that felt like they got like they got just shit under the stick they got retried. Mm-hmm. Which fuck all of them. No, it was fucking all of them. In his petition to the court, he wrote that even though he was sentenced to 45 years, the new Supreme Court ruling applied to him and in the interest of justice, he deserved a new sentence. Oh, in the interest of justice. Please gag me with a spoon. Justice for Cory Gregory. Yeah, like I'll get right on that.

So if you're not already nauseous enough by this petition He also wrote that if he does survive his 45-year sentence Don't be in no year in no way restored to useful citizenship and he will be too old to gain employment Oh, yeah Don't care. Hey, um, I bet Adrian probably wanted to go to her job Yeah, fucking murdered her and she was 16. He was gay, right? She was fully employed and you, yeah. 16 years old. You killed a 16 year old. I don't care that you're gonna be like 60.

I love that he's literally like, whaah, I won't be able to get a job. I'm gonna be old. It's like, okay. This is called a punish, yeah. That's what that's about. So the state's attorney, John McGee, said he believed Cory Gregory had a fair sentencing

and he would do whatever necessary to contest him getting a new scheme. In May 2018, Gregory's attorney argued all his claims of an unfair sentencing. So what happens is if the judge whose Peter Church denies the motion to dismiss Gregory's petition, then the case will proceed to the next stage where attorneys will go over everything again. And so they'll go over all his claims and everything and then his baseless claims. Yeah, and then they'll come to a decision of what to do in his sentencing. If the judge grants the request for a new sentencing hearing,

then he could get the same sentence that he already has. Yeah. Or it could be less. There's no guarantee of what would happen. God, that would suck. And so it's unclear. I was like researching if they had made a decision yet and it's unclear.

I didn't see anything. Whether or not they came to a decision. But it was only like, it was in one of the six months. So yeah, so it could take a while. Yeah, that should take forever. So, but I feel like it's good news that even if like he does say, like, oh yeah, like Wolf fucking retry. Yeah, he could still come to the same conclusion. If if every in which they're gonna look at the same evidence

So anything got to the fuck bag that chopped her up. Oh, yeah He didn't really get that much. He was also charged with concealment for his hand in dismembering the body He pleaded guilty and received a juvenile sentence of five years. That is such bullshit So he chopped up a fucking human body and got five years. Whichever she is as to why he was only charged with concealment. And I'm like dismembering a body as a charge. Yeah, I would think so. So I don't know why he didn't get that.

But I believe in breathing. Maybe they couldn't get him on me. Yeah, I was gonna say, maybe they just went for whatever was gonna get him the highest amount of. So like I said, he pleaded guilty. He served is, actually he only served almost four years. He was released on November 11th, 2008. But on April 16th, 2012, he died in a car accident.

Wamp-wamp. What a bummer. Wow, so that's good at least. One of them's dead. And the two of them are in jail for a long-ass time. And it doesn't look like anybody really cares about Cory's spunk and potential. I mean, I certainly don't. I also read something about that Cory and Sarah still had correspondence somehow.

But I did read that in Illinois convicts can't. They can't, of course, but I like to make sure can't be 10,000. Yeah, that makes sense. But and I think they was still active. So either somebody's running her Facebook on the outside because she has no access to Facebook. Yeah, obviously, but yeah, I read something about her Facebook still being active. So if you want to go look that up, yeah, we'll give an update if we see anything. She's also gone through quite a lot of transformation periods in prison. All of her outdated, like, prison photos, she really did.

There was one point where she shaped her whole head except the front two pieces. Yeah, she just said two long pieces of hair that went in front of her face, which like do you? That's not going to do a lot for your trial. But when you have super empty eyes and you murdered someone, that's a scary look. It's not as if you're just walking around being you by all means, do it. But when you've murdered someone, don't do that. Man, she's just this something about that girl that just, she's still has empty eyes. She does.

She gives me the real heaps. But I saw pictures of her hugging a golden retriever and prison and stuff. And I'm like, don't touch a dog. Yeah, fuck that dog. I feel like in prison, if you committed a crime like this, they should not bring a dog. You should not bring a dog.

Fuck that. Don't take the nice ones. Like violent crimes, you shouldn't be able to touch dogs. It's just not something. Like there's one, and I think we're going to cover this case eventually, but it's such a rough one that that's gonna be a no I've got fun the Shanda share case and one of the I won't go into it because if we do cover it, I want to surprise you all

Oh goody, but uh one of the people who committed that crime now like trains dogs in, like has like all this access to dogs. And that was one of the most vicious crimes I've ever heard. So it always upsets me when you hear him like, no, you can't care about, if you can't care about a human being, how are you supposed to care about a dog? Some of the cases that I hear about and then you hear about their life in prison. I know. Um, he like, is it a prison supposed to be a punishment? Oh yeah.

Like sometimes it's not. No, it's really not. Like that Luka Magnauta. Oh, yeah, like sometimes it's not no It's really not like that Luka Magnauta. Yeah, Canadian prisons have like fucking crazy Like that shit. It's nuts But yeah, so that's the story of the murder of Adrian Reynolds go hug your best friend. Yeah, go be nice Not too fucking tightly. Yeah, not too tightly. Never a light heap your bell Tom. Talk it out. If you guys are, if somebody's snagging your dude, or you feel like he's snagging your dude, and you guys are in high school, just in high school. It's one at high school, and to just like talk about him, and talk about it with your girlfriend.

I'm gonna go ahead and tell you that everyone I dated in high school was very irrelevant. Oh, 100%. To my life now, I don't talk to anybody I dated, nor do I care about them. I dated one person all through high school and he's very irrelevant. Yeah, she's curious. So, I'm just saying. So, and most people are relevant that you're gonna date until you actually start dating like good. I mean, yeah, and he's wicked irrelevant. Just kidding, I love you.

Love you, Annie. You're relevant. So relevant. So, yes, so that was the case for this week. We hope you guys done it. Thank you. And we're not going to tell you what next week says, because we're having fun just dealing with it. But it's going to be holiday themed.
