Sarah Kolb Case

An Illinois court has turned down a woman’s appeal for a new sentence in a gruesome murder in Moline.

Sarah Kolb was sentenced to 53 years in prison in the death of her classmate, 16-year-old Adrianne Reynolds of East Moline. Kolb was 16 when she and co-defendant, 17-year-old Cory Gregory, were accused of strangling Reynolds while in a car parked at a fast-food restaurant in Moline, and then getting another classmate to help burn and dismember her body in an attempt to cover up the crime in 2005.

Kolb initially appealed after the Illinois Supreme Court ruled a sentence of more than 40 years for a juvenile was a de factor life sentence and unconstitutional. But a lower court judge rejected her request for resentencing.

In January, 2023, Kolb’s attorney argued before the Illinois Third District Appellate Court claiming the lower court judge should have considered her age at the time of the crime and the possibility for rehabilitation in the request for resentencing. The attorney representing the State argued the request was properly dismissed, due to it being such a heinous crime.

The appellate court release its decision this week saying she failed to show the court imposed a sentence in violation of the eighth amendment, cruel and unusual punishment.

In court, he apologized to Adrianne’s family. “Every single day, I wish I could bring her back,” he said. “I’m deeply sorry for what I’ve done.”

Kolb and Gregory took Adrianne’s body to a farm. After they unsuccessfully tried to burn her body, they asked 16-year-old Nathan Gaudet to help cut it up.

Gaudet used a handsaw to sever Adrianne’s head and arms, and put them in a garbage bag, which they threw in Black Hawk State Historic Site.

When Adrianne didn’t show up for work at Checkers, she was reported missing. Eventually, Gregory led law enforcement to her body on Jan. 26, 2005.

Gaudet, who was sentenced to five years for his involvement, was killed in an Indiana vehicle crash in 2012.

Kolb is serving a 53-year sentence in Logan Correctional Center in Lincoln, Ill., according to Illinois Department of Corrections documents. She has filed a petition for clemency with the Illinois Prisoner Review Board.

Harley Quinn, a pun on the word “harlequin,” is a fictional character in the DC Extended Universe.
