And there'll be more coming because we have a few more designs that we're really excited to throw on some stickers. I'm stoked. And then eventually onto some T-shirts. So get ready. Get ready.

So we haven't even said what the case is yet. So the case is the case of Sarah. Colb, her, I'll say accomplice, but he was pretty involved. Corey Gregory. And the victim is Adrian Reynolds. Poor Adrian. I know. This case is fucked.

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 Colb, Corey Gregory, and Adrian Reynolds. They were teenagers attending an alternative high school.

It was called Black Hawk College Outreach Program in East Moline, Illinois, and this happened in 2005. Which actually isn't that longer. No, it's really, it's the year after I graduated high school. And this, 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. 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 said, quote, Black Hawk 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 Colbe 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 the 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 troubled kids,

like we said. So she was a self-proclaimed juggalo. I'm sure a lot of you know what juggalo's are, but it's people who are very much into the fandom of ICP, the insane clown posse. It's any kind of label. 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. Oh, yeah, you told me that. And they're very quiet about it.

They don't say a word. They just, like, do good things. That's what nice charity people do. Exactly. They don't do it to get a pat on the back. Exactly. So, you know, just know that. These kids might give juggaloes a bad name, but like, they're not bad people.

It has nothing to do with them being juggaloes, but it's just, this is what, fun fact. This is what brought them together. So, um, 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 mouthy and inconsiderate at times. All right. She had a fiery temper.

She lashed out a lot. In fact, Corey 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 dock 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 she turned out to be a hideous murderer. It's just always kind of shitty when people mess up potentially. so 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 good. 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 going to 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 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 her at 16 years old. I know there are tons of success stories about this out there for sure. Like a lot of people who this happens to, they 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 and a stint in rehab under her belt. Oh, wow. Before 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 she was into, 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 what I mean? Yeah. try to get her on the straight and arrow. Her father, Tony, acknowledged that she was probably smoking pot and drinking and just being a bad kid while 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.

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 BlackHot 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. I was going to say. I was going to say. So Sarah and Adrian met that day, November 2004. They became quick friends. Sarah kind of took Adrian under her 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. Like she had a lot of power. We all know high school is all about popularity 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 like a place of a bunch of Elkast basically.

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 had the chains. She had black hair. Well, they were probably a little jaded because of 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 Erhard. 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. Why would she do? She's so theatrical. 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's 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 crazy 16-year-old. mean, same. Everyone's been... Look where I ended up. It's fine. And...

But she was also pretty flirty with Sarah immediately. Oh. Sarah openly identified as bisexual. Friends said that Adrian was bi-curious. That's what Corey said. He said she wasn't openly bisexual, but she was definitely starting to have feelings for Sarah. Dipping her toe in the water.

She was just dipping her toe in the water. And it was Sarah who she was... She was wanted to have her experiences with. She was interested. So according to Corey, they still... 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 liking her. You know what I mean? 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. Right. One of the kids was Sarah's best friend and former, I guess former boyfriend. They say they dated slight for like a minute. Corey Gregory. The two of them, Sarah and Corey, were literally inseparable, according to friends. And Corey 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. And it's like in the craft when he's sipping the scissors. When he's like showing, when Chris is showing up at her door and being like, I just need to be around you.

And her name is Sarah. Oh my God. It'd be wild if his name was Corey. But it's a C, 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 in prison.

He had hooked up with in the craft. He had hooked up with Nancy. Oh, yeah, you're right. Who in this case would have been Sarah. Oh, my damn. This bananas. Yeah, this is a lot. We just made a like a connection here.

weird map. This is the craft. That was a journey. So, back to the original. This is the craft before the craft, or after the craft, but whatever. So, yeah, so Corey 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 going to hang out with other girls. That just wasn't going to happen. She didn't want him, but nobody else could have it either. Friends said that Sarah literally had Corey wrap up. 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, the three of them were inseparable at this point.

Everybody said the three of them went everywhere together. Corey's own mom said, quote, Corey really wanted to be boyfriend and girlfriend with Sarah. Really bad. And I think Corey, in the back of his mind, thought if he 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 like not. 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.

And you know what? So theatrical too. And also, he's telling the truth. Like, he will always be there for her, even in prison. Until death do them part. Yeah. It's so true because he's hanging in there. Or at prison do them.

Yeah, prison does them part. So Sarah was at, you know, with all this going on, Sarah was developing serious feelings for Adrian. Oh, okay. And Friends said Adrian was, 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. I feel like it would have ended.

Something would have happened badly in a different way. 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? It's like the Brad and Angelina. So, but things started changing a little bit at this point, too. Adrian was into Sarah, 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 Adrian's looks

and how dudes all over school were into her. It's like she was like, she was the it girl. She was like Regina George. Oh, shit. And, um. But Katie Herring, because she was named. But Katie Herring, exactly. Oh, you are on, you're on the movie references here.

So, uh, so yeah, apparently she was, every dude was, like, fallen all over themselves for her. So because of this, Sarah began feeling like, Adrian didn't need her anymore. And, like, she was, I bet she loved that. Oh, yeah, because, you know. Sarah seems very, like, she will relinquish control very easily. Well, it's like when Regina George realized that Katie didn't need her anymore. 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 on 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 of control here. She was starting to feel like she was losing Adrian. Right. And she was also kind of feeling like she was taking over her spot as Queen B of the school here. So the control issues were applying.

Now, even though she was starting to get concerned for her top spot, she was still interested in dating Adrian. 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 Adrian. 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. Because I feel like she might not be loyal to me. I feel like a Sarah Cold Test is not something you want to fail. Never take a Sarah Cold Test. Never. No way, huh.

No. Her tests are no. You fail. No matter what. It's always a failing grade. Even if you pass, you fail. 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 mean, you're not wrong. 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. Yeah, that would be you. And they'd be like, you can do that right out the door, sir. They'd be like, buy it. So. You don't belong.

Apparently, it was a known party place that some of the juggalo being 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. Oh, no. Like, steam was coming out of her ears. And Adrian ended up sleeping with this guy at the party.

Yikesies. Sarah took this as full on betrayal. Like she failed the test. That was it. I brought her to a party. That's it. Like, you know high school. It's very black and white.

You fail. That's it. No more. Goodbye. There's no gray area. Have fun eating lunch in the bathroom. Now that night, Sarah ended up pulling a knife on Adrienne over it. What the fuck?

Yeah. Her friends all said they saw it as kind as like ridiculous. They were like, what the fuck, Sarah? but they also knew Sarah to be a person who constantly hurled empty threats at 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 to 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 spot. 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 Adrian was becoming self-sufficient and wasn't needing her was like really just where it all went wrong. Sounds like a very awful relationship. It is. It's such a, it's a toxic relationship because it's like she needs Adrian to need her. Right. And once she doesn't need her, like she needs her to.

to be totally dependent upon her. And they're like, who actually wants that? That's such a bad relationship. Like, don't ever be in a relationship like that, guys. No. When one person is absolutely needing you to be fully dependent on them and requires it, that's, that's no good. So there 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 me 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 a skink, and all that shit in front of the entire party. Oh, that's horrible. Yeah. Sarah felt like, so a friend who was there said Sarah was,

totally rude, totally aggressive. They were like, nobody thought it was okay. She was humiliating her in front of this party. And, like, nobody was even like. 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. Right.

Like, take it down a notch, Merrill. She needs, like, some downers. Yeah, she just needs to chill. Actually, just some stabilizers. Like, take a yoga class. I don't know. Like, get us together. Now, Adrienne ended up running out of the house crying.

Oh, as most of us would do. I would be like, see ya. And honestly, go Google a picture of Sarah Colb. 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 a, and she's wearing like 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 Adrienne.

Is this 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... Oh, this one? That's when she was arrested. Oh, yeah, she looks really scary. Something about those eyes, man.

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... 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 and consoled Adrian when she ran out of the party. Now, this is when Adrian started seeing Corey as more than just Sarah's friend. You know what I mean? Like she was like, oh, this guy is really nice. He's helping me. Corey in an interview said they had hung out a couple of times alone before this. Without Sarah's knowledge. And there was chemistry between them.

He was like, we liked each other. This really pissed Sarah off even more. Remember, Sarah needs to control. Corey. Well, and that's like a man. Adrian is one thing. Corey, he's 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. Like, you know. That's very 2000s. So this moment when he runs out to console her is when everything changes between Sarah and Adrian. This is when just nothing's going to be the same. Uh-oh.

So Corey and Adrian began passing flirty notes besides behind Sarah's back, which is so high school. Oh, I miss notes. One note in Adrian's journal said, Pinky and Corey written on top. Is that what people called her? I guess so. And said, quote,

I love Corey 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 jagweed. That's actually so fucked up.

Like, she literally wrote down, I think I'm beginning to trust him. That, like, 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 freak out. She pulled a knife on Adrian. Well, Sarah found out.

Wow, this show would have been so different if Corey was actually like a stand-up guy. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. There's many times he could have stepped in and really. Saved the day. Stopped a lot of the tension from building. But so Sarah found out because Sarah, Cole, will all. always find out. Whatever you're doing right now, Sarah Colb's going to find out. She's all knowing.

Like, I just feel like she knows. She knows that we just made fun of her mugshot. She did. I'm terrified. Like, Sarah Colb? I don't know, man. Something about her. Well, spoiler alert, I don't think she's coming out. Yeah, I don't think so either. But like, I feel she knows still. She's around. I don't know. Sarah Colb, go away. Major yikes. So Sarah was, you know, mildly upset about it. 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 so, again, very high school. All of this is so high school, but so dark high school. This is very reform school.

Oh, reform school. This is very reform school. It is very reform school. This is like a high school fever dream. Yeah, it is. So Adrian So she was going You know, bad-mouthing Adrian and all that good stuff

Adrian decided she wasn't going to go back at her Like a lot of people might do It probably wasn't worth it Adrian's resolution was she was going to try to win Sarah's friendship back That's probably smart That's what I would want to do It didn't work out but it's good to ten 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. 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 Adrian at school if she wanted to go get lunch with her at Taco Bell,

as one does. I fucking love Taco Bell. I haven't had Taco Bell in so long. Taco Hill. Taco Hill. She had told a lot of people she was going to 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 McKittrick, who is never mentioned in this. Like, he's rarely mentioned. And all the documentaries completely leave him out. He was there. He was there. Yeah, because I watched a ton of documentaries on this.

He wasn't there for the murder. He was in the car, though, for part of it. Oh. And he's never in it. any of them. I wonder if he was like a minor and got 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 McChick was in the car with them. They just leave him at Taco Bell. They all got into Sarah's car. They went to Taco Bell. Sarah was driving. Adrian was in the

front passenger seat and Corey and Sean were in the back. Corey 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 Corey 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 Corey 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 to her? It makes me, like, what, what an asshole. That'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 Corey and Sarah is unreal to me. So, like, her murder is between all three of us. It's between the three of us.

No, it's not between her, too. She's dead. Yeah, she died. You guys killed her. Right. Don't act like she's part. of this little secret society of yours. You killed her.

Like it just, I don't know why that went up my ass. That makes me really mad. It's like he's almost including her like in the crime as an accomplish. Like, you know what I mean? Like he's almost including her on their level. It's just really gross. So of course he maintains that he didn't know what was going to happen when he got in the car. The argument in the car started over the fact that Corey and Adrian had hung out alone and kissed

without telling Sarah. And it quickly escalated. Sarah started hitting Adrian 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, so Sean got out of the car and walked away, which props to Sean for not sitting by and watching this bullshit happen. Why didn't you take Adrian with you? But I think he was just like, I'm not involving myself.

for this. Like 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 so 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 just, the fight seemed inevitable. It was just going to 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 probably step in. And you know it's over you. Right. Get involved. That's why you're fucking sitting there watching it. He probably felt great. Yeah, he loved it.

So he did open up to Dateline about what occurred. So he said before, no, it's between us. And then Dateline came and knocking 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 happened. Yeah. That's bullshit.

Because didn't he choked her too. So Corey, though very loyal to Sarah, threw her the fuck under the bus and was, Like, she did it. Right. I 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? And he said it, I think, I can't remember which one it's in. 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 are like bug eyes. 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 once she had beaten and strangled Adriene. Oh, when she was done. 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, like, 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, uh, 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 poured gasoline on her and used a torch to burn her. How the fuck do you do that to somebody? And somebody who was your friend. You hung out with this person on a...

You were intimate with her. Like, that's insane. Now, I'm assuming their dumb asses 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 in a few episodes. And a constant, like, 2,000 degree heat for, like, 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 them. Yeah, exactly.

Just fucking gas. 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 L-O-L, Corey. You're such a gentleman. Like we were supposed to believe. Like even the interview was like, you interviewer was like, uh,

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 two were so upstanding that you wanted to get her. And he was like, no, I want, we liked her. We wanted it to be proper. You murdered her with your bare hands. Yeah, that's fucked. Like, no.

Also, it takes a long time to, like, choke somebody. Oh, yeah. To 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 for, like, these two girls,

drown their mom. Oh, I know that movie. Yeah, it's called like sisters or something. It's a good-ass movie. Yeah, that is a good movie. I think it's based on a true. It is, I think. Case. But they, I think it took like seven minutes to drown her. Like, 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 would realize like, oh shit, I got to stop. Oh yeah. But nope, they kept going. I had to smoke a quick. And then they were Like, we thought she just passed out. Well, even if you had choked her until she passed out, that's beyond messed up.

Right. Whatever. So, uh, so the body didn't burn. Shocker. Uh, so now Sarah's like, well, we have to cut it up, obviously. This girl is dark. That's the next logical thing, right? Now, Corey's a gentleman.

So he was like, I won't do that. I'll do anything for love, but I won't do that. Um, so they immediately thought of another, like, decent fellow in town named Nate Godette. Who's a real shit bad. Yeah. Corey said, quote, Nate's into blood and gore.

He was the type of kid that would go around killing animals and stuff. So Sarah figured he might help. Yeah. Wow. Imagine having a friend to call if you needed to fucking cut up a body.

Literally, like calling a friend and being like, I know you're into a lot of blood and go and you kill animals on the reg. Can you come cut a body up? And he's just like, yeah. Yeah, I can. Yeah, that kid is disturbed.

Yeah. And feeling comfortable enough to call this person and be like, yo, we killed someone. Can you cut it up for? even like really friends. No. It's just like an acquaintance. They just knew him. It's a schoolmate. Like what is happening? He's like, be right there. So the next day, which was Saturday, they picked an aide up, told him about everything. And 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

sleeves. So he said he would. It was, it was literally that simple. What the fuck. Now the next day, which was Sunday, they picked Nate 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 he was hacking her up. Adrian was being hacked up in front of them. And they were talking about insane con posse. Nate was sawing off the head, sawing her arms and legs off, and cutting her torso in half.

Do you know how, first of all, what saw 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 you have to cut through like so much bone. And organs. Thick 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 ended up dumping most of Adrian's remains in a ravine on the farm and covered them with branches. Corey 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? Corey says, so, like many people have asked him, like, but how did you go to McDonald's and eat? Yeah, how did you eat chicken nuggets after chopping up a body?

Get chopped up. And then her head and arms are in your trunk. As you're chewing on your fucking French friar. Well, his answer is, we were high. Weed's been smoking all day. Dude, that's, that's bold to blame that on weed. 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. Now, from there, they drove to a park called the Black Hawk's 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 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 in the most disturbing way possible. Isn't it so disturbing how far they thought of it? Like they were like head. Dental records and obviously head. Fingerprints.

That's where your everything is. Yeah. Fingervants on the hands. Like so they got rid of the arms and 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 at like a checkers. It was a checkers. 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 7.30, 8 o'clock p.m., they called the police and filed a 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 passed. 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 had left for school that day for lunch with sarah colb cori 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, in between 12, 30 and 1, police. Were you and Corey giving her a ride somewhere?

Sarah. Yes, sir. Sarah 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. me and let me know. Wow, go fuck yourself. What a cold-blooded. Yeah, we'll call you. Hi, 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 Allen East Maline 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 a ride then? Like this doesn't make sense. You didn't like her. Well, 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 high school. threw up in his waistbasket and then continued with his questioning. You know that officer was sitting there, like, digging a pencil, like, into his eyeball as hard as he could. He was like just what?

Like, I don't think. 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. So I killed her. But. So then she said, she dropped a bomb.

She goes, I'll be honest with you. I hit her. And the police said, okay. And she said, she hit me back. And all props to her, she hit me pretty hard to, to, And then the police were like, interesting. They were like, let's come get you. So then she said there was a fight that it did occur in the car.

And 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, shit. And he said it was, he thought it was like two teenagers like making out or like really. Or people getting 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 that car. Well, and it's the middle of the day. You probably don't expect much. You don't think somebody's getting murdered in a car. That's fucked. Imagine having walked past that car.

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 going to 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 miner 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 about any of this. Like, this is not useful information. Thanks, though. I'd be 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. 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 were pretty interesting because once they heard all this,

they were like, huh, let's read her journals. 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, kill, destroy, in 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 was in charge of reading the journals?

Soup's normal. Exactly. Like, no one was like, hey, are you okay? No one read them. That's like where the fucking school failed. Like what? So, and on January 21st, 2005, the day they murdered Adrian, she wrote in her journal, quote, so I might be getting expelled today for spreading the fucking jiff.

Stupid bitch needs to back up off my Kool-Aid. She's going to give him a note. Yeah, well, I'll fucking kill her. Now, it's not funny that she wrote I'm going to kill her. She needs to hop up off my Kool-Aid. What is spreading the jiff? I wondered what that was, so I found something. In one of the documentaries, one of the friends of this clique said

that Sarah started calling Adrian Jif. because she spread it. Oh. But when he explained it, and this is just, this whole thing, let me just be clear, because sometimes people get like pissy and moni that we laugh sometimes, like, and try to make this, like, joking. We're not making light of the fact that this girl was murdered.

We're just, there's certain parts of this that are kind of fine. Because life is funny, okay? So deal with it. So this kid said she called her Jiff because, She smeared or she smeared it or something like that. She didn't get it right. Oh, he said she smeared. 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 joke. I was like that kid clearly wasn't like third hand. That's exactly it. I was like, that dude was not part of this. Let me tell you the joke. Let me tell you the inside scoop. She's smeared like, Jeff.

So read that to me again, please. Quote, so I might be getting expelled today. for spreading the fucking jiff. Stupid bitch needs to back up off my Kool-Aid. She's going to give him a note. Yeah, well, I'll fucking kill her. For spreading the jif. That sounds like she's going to do something to her,

which she did. Yeah. Well, I think that's what she meant it like. I'm going to spread the fucking jiff. Like, Adrian's the jiff. I'm going to fucking spread it. But they called her jiff because she 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. fucking kill her the same day she killed her. She signed her death warrant with that one. You wrote in your journal what you were going to do. So it literally proved premeditation.

Pretty much. And I guess she also detailed how she was going to trick Adrian to go to lunch with her. Oh, so she literally planned on killing her. She spelled out this plot. Because part of me for a while thought that like, you know, like it was like a crime of passion. No, I think she planned it. Wow. Like I think she knew shit was going to get real in that car and she was ready.

Oh my God. Look. And so only three days after the murder, Corey told his mom out of the blue, he was like, listen, Sarah got a lawyer, we need a lawyer. And he went and spoke to, 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 going to come of it. But shortly after going home, Corey suddenly broke down crying to his parents. He told his daddy needed to talk to the. the police. He was like, I have something else to tell them. And his dad... And his dad... In the interview I read with his dad was like... His dad was like, did something happen in that car, Corey?

And he was like, yes. And he was like... Oh, God. Did she get hurt in that car, Corey? And he was like, and he nodded. And he goes, did she get hurt really bad, Corey? And he nodded. And then she goes, did she die, Corey? And he just nodded. And he was like...

Holy shit. My heart. It gives me chills to say it. So now his... Dad had to call the police on his son. Oh my God. Literally look at my arm right now. Right?

And me too. I feel it. Doesn't it? Like, this has 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're not think of himself and not to immediately think like

i need to i need to quote unquote protect my son which no parent is protecting their kid when they when they cover this kind of shit up but i get why people would do but it's like for him to recognize like no it's not what you should 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 badass like that takes a 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 fuffed so during his taped interrogation corey agreed to show police exactly where adrian was this was only like four days after it happened to 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 there's photos from the crime scene they don't show like 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 just like blows my brain that fuck you up. 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 know, well, 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, it's the police and we're at your front door. And he said for a second, he was like, they have Adrian. Oh, my God. Oh, I just. felt immediately I know. I know. 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 going to be what it was. Like that. Yeah. It just, oh, that's just, oh my God. Having like little little kids now, I can't even fath on that. Wow. That just made me so sad. Yeah. It's literally, like, it sounds cliche to be like, that's your biggest nightmare as a parent. No, it is. Your biggest night. You don't know. Whether you know it or not. If you choose to have children, just know that you, it's going to change the way you see and think everything.

And I'm not saying this like, it sounds so cliche and so like overdone. But it, my husband and I have talked about this. He was like, it has changed everything. Yeah. About the way I think. About the world, about situations. It makes sense. It really does.

It changes everything. you suddenly are so much more aware of how awful 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, and 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 while they sat there and talked about music. Like, I'm not apparent, but I feel like I wouldn't want to know all those details that they went to McDonald's after. I wouldn't want to know that she was burned or put on fire.

Like, I would just want to know who did it and that's it. Oh, I think. I wouldn't want to, because her father said that. He said, they didn't tell him immediately what had happened. But you find out. 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 that in your mind.

Things that you never should have to picture in your brain. And that's so horrible. And it's, oh, it's just so, this is just such a heavy case. But, um, now the next morning is when Corey led police to the place on the farm where they had burned Adrian's body. And that's where the other remains were hidden, where they buried like her torso and So she must have been like unrecognizable. Yeah, totally.

They said she looked, when they asked Corey 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. He said 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 you just sat there and talked about music.

She's burger afterwards. Yeah. And they said she, she was burned beyond recognition. And then they cut her up. Also, for anybody that's. you're super fucking paranoid. Well, that's what I was thinking. How would you not think?

You'd be bouncing off the walls being like, whla! 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 haven't fucking murdered somebody. But if you've murdered someone. 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

then litter on fire on a farm. Aren't you supposed to be more chill? Yeah. You're supposed to be more like, everything's fine, guys. The other night I got really high. and I put on this song and I said to Annie, I was like, just hold my hand and close your eyes and listen to this song. That's what I do when I smoke. I wish everybody was like that, man.

I don't know what the fuck these people did. Apparently, 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 Adrienne's parents learned that she had been dismembered. That's when they learned we had to go to two different. from places to get her, which I wouldn't want to know that. I literally wouldn't want to know that.

I literally can't. But they obviously have to tell them that. Yeah, they have to. I mean, and I think, I think it's like must just be, you want to, you 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 that situation. It's probably not good for you either way, but you just don't know. It's what you need in the moment. I try to never give you closure though. Yeah, no. You'd never get closure 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, 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 Colb and Corey Gregory were charged with two counts of first degree murder. Yeah, yeah.

And they were charged with concealment of a homicide. 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 alley. She's so theatrical. She was theatrical till the fucking end. Yeah, 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 a misverdict. Oh, yeah, I read that. Oh, my God. Poor Adrian's parents were probably like, what? Well, so that they were a hung jury and it resulted in a mistrial. So they had to retry her. And if that, it didn't make it bad enough, it was just one juror. that was in favor of, um, they opted for acquittal.

How? How? So 11 jurors were in favor of conviction and then I wrote but one dumb ass opted for acquittal. 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 you ever let her go?

She like, like screamed at her at a party that she was going to kill her. Exactly. Pulled a knife 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, these 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 of Lani. 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 write her like name mail and tell her that she sucks. And tell her she has empty eyes. Yeah. Tell her to fucking go fuck herself.

Fill your eyes, girl. Corey 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 in Cresthill, Illinois, near Chicago. But in 2016, a 28-year-old Corey claimed in a petition for post-conviction. relief that his 45-year prison sentence was unconstitutional. Oh, obviously. Like, so is murdering

someone. Yeah. I don't really care about your constitutional right. Like, you took someone's life. I feel like that's, that's pretty constitutional as far as I'm saying. And he thinks it's unconstitutional because he was sentenced, or 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, 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, while high. You tried to bury her. That didn't work. Then you got litter on fire. You had to get more gasoline because that didn't work. And you probably got high in the way. And then you were like, hmm, we got to cut her up. You sat there. You watched that happen while talking about

fucking Pantara or like ICP or something. And then you got a double cheeseburger. 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. Yeah. So it's like, I'm sorry. So tell me again about the Constitution.

Yeah, 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. There's a lot of cases that got their sentences reduced because of that. Well, because the decision was retroacted. So anybody that felt like they got like they got jipped. They got chipped.

Yeah. They got retried. Which, fuck all of them. Not really. I don't really know all of them. But 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 hearing. 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. also wrote that if he does survive his 45-year sentence, he'll be in no way restored to useful citizenship, and he will be too old to gain employment. Wea, wea, where.

Don't care. Hey, I bet Adrian probably wanted to go to her job, but you fucking murdered her and she was 16. She was gainfully employed, and you, yeah, 16 years old. Yeah, you killed a 16-year-old. I don't care that you're going to be like 60 something. I love that he's literally like, weh. I won't be able to get a job.

I'm going to be old. It's like, okay. This is called a punishment. Yeah, that's what that's about. So the state's attorney, John McGee, said he believed Corey Gregory had a fair sentencing and he would do whatever necessary to contest him getting a new hearing. In May 2018, Gregory's attorney argued all his claims of an unfair sentencing. So what happens is if the judge, who's 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 like 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. Or it could be less. There's like no guarantee of what would happen. Oh 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 May, right? So it could take a while. Yeah. That shit takes forever. So, but I feel like it's good news that even if like he does say like, oh yeah, like we'll fucking retry you. Yeah. He could still come to the same conclusion.

Which they're going to look at the same evidence. So Nathan got to get 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 and 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. Which I get confused 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 it. Maybe they couldn't get him on. Yeah, I was going to say maybe they just went for whatever was going to give him the highest amount of. So like I said, he pleaded guilty. He served as actually he only so served almost four years. He was the least on November 11th, 2008. But on April 16th, 2012, he died in a car accident. Whomp! Whomp! 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 Corey's fucking petition. I mean, I certainly don't. I also read something about that Corey and Sarah still had correspondence somehow. But I did read that in Illinois convicts can't. They can't have course about each other.

They can't be pen pals. Yeah. That makes sense. And I would think they wouldn't want the two of them. So either somebody's running her Facebook on the outside, because she has no access to Facebook on the outside. Yeah, obviously. But yeah, I read something about her Facebook still being active. Ooh.

So if you want to go look that up. Yeah. We'll give an update if we see anything called. I know. But she's also gone through quite a lot of transformation periods in prison. All of her. Transformation Tuesdays. She really did. There was one point where she shaped her whole head except the front two pieces of her face. Yeah, she just had 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, though. But when you have super empty eyes and you murdered someone, that's a scary look. Yeah. It's not as, you know, 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, there's something about that girl that just gives me. She still has empty eyes. She does. She gives me the real hebes. But I saw pictures of her like hugging a golden retriever in prison and stuff. And I'm like, don't touch that dog. Yeah.

Don't touch that dog. I feel like in prison if you committed a crime like this, they should not bring you a dog. Fuck that. Don't, don't taint the nicest. Like violent crimes, you shouldn't be able to touch dogs. That's just not something. No. Like there's one and we'll, I think we're going to cover this case eventually, but it's such a rough one that that's going to be a.

No. A rough one, 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 one of the people who committed that crime now trains dogs in prison, like, has, like, all this access to dog. And that was one of the most vicious crimes I've ever heard. So it always obsessed me when you hear, I'm 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. He's like, isn't prison supposed to be a punishment? Oh, yeah. Like, sometimes it's not. No. It's really not. Like that Luca Magna. Yeah, Canadian prisons have like fucking pizza parties.

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 to each other, man. Not too tightly. Yeah, not too tightly. Give her a light hug.

Keep your belt on. 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. It's high school. One, it's high school. And just like, talk about it, man. Talk about it with your girlfriend.

I'm going to 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 sure is. So, I'm just saying. So, and most people are irrelevant that you're going to date until you actually start dating, like, good. I mean, yeah, Annie's wicked irrelevant.

Just kidding. I love you. Love you, Andy. You're relevant. So relevant. So, yeah, so that was the case for this week. We hope you guys die it. Thank you for listening. Well, we're not going to tell you what next week's is because we're having fun,

just teasing you with it. But it's going to be holiday themed. Yes, that's a good point. The month of December, we are going to try to make all of our episodes holiday themed, but not holiday themed, like, you know, candies. and candy canes and sugar plum fairies and all that good stuff. It's going to be some dark-ass holiday crimes. You know, I'm going to say one word for one of our episodes, crampus.
