  Speaker 1: Teenage years for a lot of us, are filled with
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: angst and rebellion. Thankfully, it's usually a stage of our
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: life that we grow out of as we begin to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: take a closer look at our future. For sixteen year
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: old Adrian Reynolds, that was the exact stage of life
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: that she was in. She was working on bettering herself
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and her future. That is, until her future was taken
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: away by someone whose idea of bettering their own life
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: meant taking someone else's. My name's Ben and I'm Nicole.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: And you're listening to Wicked and Grim, a true crime podcast.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Warning the following podcasts and material in for a mature audience.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Listener discretion is advised. Okay, that was smooth. How I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: did that?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I didn't get the memo. I also have
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: one that was not smooth.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Keep it going, Keep going there, you go. Wow, your
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: delicate fingers.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I'm pouring an over ice because it's warm we have Okay,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Can I just say something? Can I just well, this
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: isn't really a show though, This is just me talking
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: about alcohol. Okay, but we are brewery, which I'm sure
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: we've talked about. One of our breweries, Trench, they have a.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Peach iced tea.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: That is literally so good next level. So if you're local,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: like fucking go buy a case.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: They probably already know about it if they're local, because
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure our entire city is obsessed with oh.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Just obsessed like it. It puts some twisted teata like shame.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Oh wholeheartedly, whole hard.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Not that anything's wrong with twisted tea. We do drink
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that as well, but this is just like, wow.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's fantastic. I'm kind of jealous. I mean,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I have a trench beer, but I'm kind of jealous
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that I'm not drinking the iced tea.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: So it is very dangerous though, because it literally is
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: like I'm just drinking a peach iced tea, like non alcoholic.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very peachy too, but like not too sweet either,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So it's really cool.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: While we're recording this episode, we are in the middle
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of a thunderstorm right now. The rain has currently ceased,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: but being in a tiny home with a tin roof,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: there is a high chance and a high probability that
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you're gonna hear some rain pick up during this episode.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right now might just be a good time, but
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling it could come back. It might,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: but it is also very good that we're getting rain.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, tackle those wildfires a little bit. Yeah, so this
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: is a good thing. Let's just hope that lightning and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: thunder fuck off just a little bit.

• 3:03
  Speaker 2: have photo shoots that I needed to stop for soon.

  Speaker 2: Okay, So what do you got in store for us today?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I haven't even asked you what you've been working on.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Well, this is a requested case that I pulled off
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: our discord server. This is the case of Adrian lay Reynolds.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Nice, Okay, I have no idea what this is about.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Well, you're about to find all about it. Find out
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: all about it. There you go. That that sentence made sentence.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I swear a lot of sense.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: That sentence was a lot of nonsense. But it's about
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to make sense. How's that?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, there you go.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: You kind of recovered, kind of recovered. But I'll deal
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: with that now. I'll take it. Thank you. Okay, So
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you ready for it?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I am ready for it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. Well. Adrian lay Reynolds was born on September
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: twelfth in nineteen eighty eight. She was born to a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: single mother in El Dorado, Arkansas. Now, unfortunately, her mother
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: was not in a position to keep a child, so
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: she was put up for adoption. Okay, so she was
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: adopted by a man named Tony Reynolds. So, as Adrian
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: entered her teenage years, her father would eventually remarry and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: move to East Moloyne, Illinois, while she continued to live
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with her mother in Texas. So as I kind of
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: eluded with the whole angsty rebellion teenage phase and the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: intro education became a bit of a struggle for Adrian.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Now I can relate to that because that was kind
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of me and my teenage years. Education was not my forte.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I did not want to study, did not want to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: hunt her down do my things. There was other things
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that way rather be doing. And so by the age
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: of her being sixteen, she was kind of not doing
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: so well. She actually didn't earn a single high school
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: credit towards her diploma, so rather than focusing on her study,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: she would find solace and hanging out with friends, smoking weed,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: harboring a deep dislike for school pretty much just all around.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I think that's a pretty common probably argument in households
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: with teenagers.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Hey what exactly, Well.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Just trying to get kids to like focus on their schooling.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's kind of it's an interesting age, really,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: because there's so many other things you could be doing
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and you don't really necessarily see the importance of like
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: high school at that moment.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yet, and nowadays there's so many distractions, video game, cell phones,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: social media, you name it. This worrisome situation, though, led
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: her mother, who she was living with at the time,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to believe that a change was necessary to help Adrian
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: find a better path in life and kind of better herself. Right,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So the decision was made to send her to live
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: with her adoptive father and stepmother, which was Tony who
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of course was the original individual to adopt her, and
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Joan Reynolds in Illinois. So despite not being this perfect angel,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: not being the perfect student in school, Adrian's presence was
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: cherished by her father and stepmother, who saw her as
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a spirited and vibrant young woman. Beyond her tough exterior,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: she was known for her sweetness, her care for others,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and she had a remarkable talent as.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Singing Okay, that's really cool.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Which I'm super jealous of. I love to sing, but
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I'm horrible at it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: That is one thing I think if you could change
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: about yourself, it would be to have that talent Hey.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, I would love to be able to sing, But you.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Can't be good at everything, Ben, I know, I know,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not angry. You're pretty much good at everything else.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: That's like one thing.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I would say that, but thank you.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. So Adrian's dream, of course, was to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: become a singer, but the pursuit of such aspirations often
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: seems out of reach for many people, especially at that age.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Like singing or being a musician or whatever is generally
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: like the top of stardom. There's so much competition out there,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: sort of thing, right, So, in the fall of two
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: thousand and five, Adrian embarked on a new journey by
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: enrolling in the Blackhawks College Outreach program with the goal
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of obtaining her ged So this achievement would serve as
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a stepping stone towards fulfilling her ultimate des desire of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: joining the United States Marine Corps. Okay, so this was
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: kind of her new goal. Instead, she kind of realized
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that the chances of becoming a singer were relatively slim.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and say you should
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: never follow your dreams, but I kind of understand what
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: she's saying, you know, so, yeah, this was kind of
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: her next best thing. I'm going to go finish off
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: my education and I'm going to join the Marines. Okay,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: good for her, Yeah, definitely. So she settled in Illinois
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: with her father, like I said, and Adrian was determined
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to turn her life around and strive for a brighter
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and better future for herself. This was just a new
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: chapter in her life for a fresh start. She was
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: determined to build this meaningful future. Her dedication to joining
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the Marines after graduation was fueled by her determination to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: excel now at her studies. As she attended college, Adrian
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: finally experienced true friendship when she began attending here. So
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: she was not only just beginning to find friendship, but
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: she was beginning to find that she was relatively popular,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: something that she had yearned for but never really found. So,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: alongside her other qualities, Adrian proudly identified as a devoted
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: quote juggalo. Do you know what that is?
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Oh? My goodness, I've definitely heard of that term, but
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I can't recall.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: So a juggalo is someone who is a passionate follower
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of the rap group insane clown posse. Oh, shit.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, no, I have no ight, I've never heard that.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Then I was thinking someone else.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: You're probably thinking jigalow, which is a male sex worker. Yes,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: it was a term for it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, okay, So juggalo.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Juggalo is basically a follower of this rap group insane
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: clown Posse. Oh okay, yeah, so I actually I used
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: to listen to some of their tunes back in the day.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I was never a Juggalo, mind you, but some of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: their tunes are actually pretty pretty entertaining. They're usually very
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: dark and morbid and contained murder and that sort of stuff,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but also like very circus like, and they're very clown ish.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: They got like clown makeup on black and white paint
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and all this sort of stuff. So she was a
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: jugg a very devout follower of this fan of this group.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Is that like a self devoted term?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay. Well, the band, I think, calls their fans
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: their Juggalos and take on that, so then.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: You kind of decide, like you're that that hardcore of
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: a fan, you're going to adopt that name exactly.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So during her time at this alternative college, Adrian cross
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: paths with two fellow classmates Sarah and Colb and Corey
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Gregory in two thousand and five. So, although Sarah and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Corey shared a close bond, their relationship was platonic, despite
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a history between them, which I'll touch on a little
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: bit later. As a fellow Juggalo, Corey immediately connected with
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Adrian and he introduced her to Sarah, who was also
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a Juggalo. Okay, so they quickly became absolutely best friends.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: The trio spent a lot of time together, both within
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: school premises and off school premises in their own spare time.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Was this can I just ask one very side not
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: quick question, Yes, was this band like really popular?
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Relatively speaking?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I just think this is I mean, that's
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: a great marketing strategy to like basically have people devote
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: themselves to the name. I just I don't think I've
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: ever heard of them. I maybe have to listen to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: a song and I would recall.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably not. They were never like on the radio
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: or anything. They were a very niche band, but they
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: were relatively quite well known, okay, Like I think Eminem
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: even had like a beef with them and stuff like this,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: like like yeah, they were up there, Okay, but I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: do want to say this, the fact that they're like
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: clown and murderous and all this sort of stuff, they
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: actually do like a lot for their community. They donate
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of money, and they actually have like really
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: good intentions. They're really good people.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really good.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: It is. It's a little fun fact if anyone needed
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to know that about the insane clown posse. They're actually
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: really good people. Good So Sarah Coleb was one of
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the friends that she met, and Sarah was born on
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: April twenty third, nineteen eighty eight. Sarah was a very
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: popular girl with a unique style, sporting black streaks in
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: her hair, multiple face piercings, and a punky goth appearance
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to go along with her her Juggalo identity. So, like Adrian,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Sarah faced challenges in school, which eventually had led her
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to the Outreach Center.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: So.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, Corey Gregory was born on November two,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven. He was described as a shy and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: soft spoken individual. He found solace in being his true
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: self around Sarah, and though they were once romantically involved,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that aspect of the relationship had now ended. Sarah had
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: a new boyfriend now and it was evident to Corey
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that they were just friends at this point. So despite
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: this change, Corey and Sarah remained inseparable, often skipping class
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to enjoy music, share moments while smoking weed together, you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: just going off having fun, being really good, tight friends.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's impressive, because I feel like that would be
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: a bit hard to do after you were like romantically involved.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I think so too. But I think there's
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a certain dynamic between them, which I don't get into
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: a whole lot. I do touch on it a little
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: bit here, but I might as well talk about it now. Corey,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I think, as far as this case goes, he still
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: was very interested in Sarah, so he was hoping for
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: something to spark up again, right, I mean, they were
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: still good friends, but he also wanted more, right, Okay,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: And as I kind of already mentioned, Sarah was quite popular,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: so she really liked the attention. So it was kind
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of a dynamic where they're friends, but hey, he wants
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: her and she likes the fact that he still wants her.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Oh that's really tough, yeah for him mostly.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. Yeah, So the dynamic between those two did
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: take a little bit of a new turn when Adrian would,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you know, come into the group is kind of like
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a new fresh energy in their lives sort of thing,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and Sarah's a tension actually would shift from Corey giving
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: her all this attention because he kind of wants her
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to now Adrian, which kind of triggered a little bit
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: of like a bit of jealousy between some of them.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: But anyways, Sarah was unapologetic about her feelings because she
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to pursue a romantic connection with Adrian. So the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: two kind of did have a little bit of a
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: candid exchange in letters discussing Sarah's bisexuality and Adrian's curiosities
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: about her own bisexual identity. So despite the potential and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: apparent romantic involvement between two, they did not ever become
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: an official couple, as Sarah still did actually have a boyfriend.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: She was in a relationship Okay, So meanwhile, Adrian would
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: begin dating other boys as well, but her growing closeness
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: with Sarah led to a shift in the dynamics that
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Sarah found rather unsettling. Sarah was quite accustomed to being
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the center of attention, as I kind of already alluded
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to with Corey.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: But she likes that. Yeah.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so she was adorned by good looking boys and
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you know, now she noticed some of them were showing
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the interest in Adrian instead. Uh oh yeah, so that
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: kind of put this whole like jealousy mix back and
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: forth in there again.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Yikes. Yeah, I'm like that can't be good.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's kind of this quasi love triangle esque
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: thing that's going on because Corey wants Sarah. Sarah used
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: to date Corey, and Sarah likes the attention from Corey,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: and Sarah and Adrian kind of like each other. But
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Sarah's got a boyfriend, and so Adrian's now dating other people,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and Sarah is not liking the attention that Adrian is getting.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, I actually followed that, I'm a little impressed with myself.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Well it gets even one step to shit, okay, because
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Sarah's anger and jealousy began to intensify in unexpected turnative
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: events when Adrian even asked Corey out on a date.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, okay.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: So here we go. Yeah exactly, it's a full circle. Now.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Corey had been devoted to Sarah, following her around basically
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: like a puppy dog, putting around a pedestal, making you know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: her everything feel good and all that sort of thing. Yeah,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and this situation basically brought everything to a breaking point,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: leading to a heated argument between Sarah and Adrian. Sarah's
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: feelings of hatred towards Adrian grew intensified with each passing day,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: and You're resorted to making many dirogatory comments about her promiscuity,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I will say around the school.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Oh geez, So she just couldn't handle this.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: She could not. Now, there was a report of them
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: having an argument and kind of you know, fixing things
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: up a little bit here, and they were friends again,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: but one way or another they would end up having
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a rather severe argument and getting to that point again
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: where they're not friends anymore.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure it would like even after some sort
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: of argument, it probably wouldn't have been the same.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Right, So No, I don't think so. I think it
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: was like an initial argument, they kind of patched things up,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: but they were still rather on edge, and then yeah,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the argument just kind of intensified and it happened again
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. And I mean Adrian did have like
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: some desperate attempts to kind of like mend their friendship
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and reconcile. She really did want to be friends with
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Sarah and Corey, right, this was a new thing. She
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: didn't really have many friends before, so this is a
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: whole new experience for her, right, and she really actually
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: cherished these friendships. So she was really trying to reconcile
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and make sure everything was okay. But at this point,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Sarah remained rather furious and was determined to make Adriane's
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: life quite miserable.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: At this point, Wow, so like really not a true friend.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: No, not aug of it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I think they probably would have been true friends if
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Sarah was still the number one popular then the hottest,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: like you know that sort of yeah, mean girl's status.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just I don't love that, no at all.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Neither do I. Sarah would actually even claim to have
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: written in her journal about her intentions to kill Adrian.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she would have conversations with some classmates, but her
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: friends and classmates just kind of brushed this off as
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: a joke. Ah yeah, not really realizing the gravity of
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the situation or her emotions.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I guess, Oh my gosh. And that's so often that
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: people just kind of like brush it off. I feel
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: like us on the other hand, I think everyone's like, oh,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to murder me, so I just run around trying to
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: avoid me.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: That's true. But I'm sitting here thinking of an angsty
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: teenager listening to murderous rap music all the time. I
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: can see that being off the cuff kind of conversation.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: For example, if you look at a teenage boy playing
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Call of Duty on his freak in PlayStation or Xbox
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: or computer whatever, he's telling people, got to fucking kill you,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: like all the time. Yeah, it's not usually something that
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you say with any weight behind it, I suppose, and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I do honestly think that, And this might be something
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: that people don't agree with. I do think that Sarah
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: wrote that in her journal without any weight behind I
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: don't think she had any intention of killing.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Her Okay, so well, yeah, you have a lot of
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: emotions when you're a teenager, and you don't really quite
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: grasp what to the extent things mean necessarily, right exactly?
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: So yeah, okay, so.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: It would be. On January twenty first, two thousand and five,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Adrian received an invitation from Sarah and Corey to have
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: lunch and discuss their friendship. Whether they're going to patch
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: things up or or what. They're like, Hey, let's go
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: for lunch. Let's sort some things out, right.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: And at this point, is Corey and Sarah still like friends?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah? They they tight, okay, so willing to resolve any issues.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Adrian accepted the offer and joined them in Sarah's car,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: which Corey was driving. So Corey drove to the nearby
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Taco Bell and during the ride, of course, the conversations began, right,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: you know, the topics of the friendship. You know, you
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: did this to anger me or whatever. With that sort
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: of conversation, you know, tempers usually rise and tensions flare, right,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened. During the drive, tension was
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: rising between both Sarah and Adrian, which led to quite
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a heated argument. So upon arrival at their destination of
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the Taco Bell, the situation had escalated even further and
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the argument turned into a physical altercation in the backseat
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: of the car, which was quickly spiraling out of control.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Ohly shit.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Sarah and Adrian were now in a full out, violent fistfight.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Punches were being thrown, and it was increasing in intensity.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Corey had parked the car and he was trying to intervene,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: but his intervention was a little different. He, being so
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: devout to Sarah, wanted to support Sarah, so he restrained Adrian.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: He held her down.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: What the fuck? Seriously? Yes, Oh my gosh. For some reason,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting that at all. I was thinking he
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: was going to like help break them up.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: No, he held Adrian down. Oh, and Sarah then reached
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: for and grabbed a All I could really find a
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: description was this was a wooden implement she had for
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: protection in her car. I'm assuming this is somewhat of
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: like a small baseball batter or a fish bunker or
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: a club of some sort. And she began using this
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: wooden implement to strike Adrian repeatedly.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Who yeah, yeah, Like I'm I feel like all like
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: hot and bothered here right now. That's brutal.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and he's just pinning her down and let
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: what happened?
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I can let you go on a little bit. But
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I also have this feeling that this lunch idea wasn't
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: necessarily a reconciliation per se.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know, if I think about it, Why would
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: they have driven to a taco bell in the middle
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of day lunchtime. This is a very populated area. If
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: they had other intentions, I don't think they would have
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: gone here. Okay, at least if they didn't have intentions,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think it would have been here and now.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess so. So.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Adriaan was now being pinned down as another person was
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: assaulting her. It's terrible, but that's exactly what she was
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: going through. She was overpowered and she stood no chance. Sarah,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: after beating her with the wooden implement, then resorted to
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: using her own belt in the altercation. She wrapped the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: belt around Adrian's neck and began to strangle her. Slowly.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: As she tightened the belts around her neck, she watched
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the life fade from Adrian's eyes until finally it led
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to her tragic death in the back seat of that car. Whoa,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: she strangled her to death?
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Holy shit? Yeah wow, I am actually like sweating right
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: now because for some reason, this is making me very uncomfortable.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: This one pisses me off on a few different ways.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like, it's it seems just so unfucking necessary.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all over a popularity contest.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like, it's almost hard to just fathom.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, wow, I can't believe that they actually went
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: to the point where they killed her, Like I don't
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know why, but I was not fucking expecting that.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Well, And one detail I do want to talk about
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: here is that this whole fatal occurrence did occur midday
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: in a busy fast food establishment parking lot, yet there
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: was no one who saw anything. What how Hell, here's
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the thing. This was January twenty first, right, Any witness
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: present in this Taco Bell parking lot that day could
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: not provide a clear account of the events due to
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the car windows fogging up from the winter air, obscuring
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the view of the interior.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Yep, Okay, well guess that makes sense.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, us living up in the north, anyone who lives
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: in colder temperatures, you understand the winter, those windows with
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: a cold outside and your breath or warm inside, it
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: fogs up fast.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: And honestly, like in that situation, I feel like anyone
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: would kind of they'd see it. They wouldn't necessarily try
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: to look because you would probably think that there's like
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: teenagers having sex in there or something.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what it was. Yeah, some people did see
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: that something was happening in this car, and they literally
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: like dismissed it as teenagers fooling around in some aspects,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: shape or form, whether it's rough housing or sex or
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: who knows what.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Like, I don't think they would have gone
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: to a place where they thought that they were murdering
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: no one in there.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: No, I've seen some suspicious behavior in vehicles before, and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: usually I'm like, someone's having some fun. I'm not usually
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: jumping towards someone's dying.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I can't blame any pedestrian for not intervening
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: by any means.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: So later prosecutors would never actually really know the full
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: story of what happened inside this car because there's no witnesses.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: All they could really do was take accounts of people
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: inside the car, and they would eventually a little bit
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: of a spoiler alert, but they would eventually learn details
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: from individuals in the car, and they are trusting that yes,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: it was a wooden implement and it belt as I described. Okay, Okay,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: So that is the official story on record, regardless of
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the exact details though, whether it was on record or
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: what actually happened to what people thought they saw or
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: didn't see. Both Sarah and Corey were now responsible for
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Adrian Reynolds brutal beating and strangulation leading to a tragic situation,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: and they now had her body on their hands, so
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: they did decided to get the vehicle started and they
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: drove a little ways away from the Taco bell to
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: a more private area to discuss what they needed to do.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: From there, they stuffed Adrian's body into the trunk of
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the car and they decided they need to dispose of
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: her by taking her to a farm that was owned
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: by Sarah's grandparents.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Oh that's like so smart, right, Yeah, Like, honestly, that's
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: so logical. I can't fucking believe.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: It makes so much Everything they do here makes so
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: much sense. Trust me, you're gonna get more pissed. I
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: guarantee it. So, while they're driving out to Sarah's family farm,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Adrian's family was now growing concern about her whereabouts. It
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: was a little later in the day by now, and
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Adrian hadn't turned up for her shift at work and
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: they had no idea where she was, so her family
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: reported her missing and police began searching for any sign
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of her, unfortunately to no avail. So as hours turned
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: into days and a couple days were going by the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: search continued and numerous flyers were being passed out around town,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: posted across the city on light poles, telephone poles, on
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: business windows, you name it, anywhere, mailboxes. No one, not
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: even Adriane's school friends, recalled seeing her on the day
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: she disappeared. However, a few days later, an anonymous tip
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: led authorities to the Talk Go Bell parking lot where
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Adrian was supposedly spotted.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, so someone did see her.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Someone did see her. So the investigation quickly honed in
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: on Sarah and Corey, the last two people who were
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: seen with Adrian. Police brought them in for questioning, and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: initially they both maintained their innocence. They never spoke about
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the incident in the car. They're just like, yeah, no, no,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: we didn't do shit. Yeah we saw her, we were
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: with her, but no, we didn't do anything.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling though, that you would have been
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: able to like read them like a book kind of thing.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Probably, yeah, especially like younger kids are not generally the
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: best at hiding emotions, are lying.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and did they actually talk every little detail through
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: about if they got caught, what they're going to say
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: and stuff, you know.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, they didn't. Yeah, no, so be cause Sarah claimed
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: that they had dropped Adrian off at the nearby Victimolds
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: after a minor argument, stating that they'd made up by
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the time they dropped her off, and Corey provided a
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: slightly contrasting narrative stating that the group had picked up
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Adrian with the intention of Sarah and her reconciling their differences,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and according to him, there was a minor argument, but
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: they managed to resolve it over lunch where they ate,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and then after the meal, Adrian requested to be dropped
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: off Adam McDonald's, so Corey saying, yeah, they sorted it
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: out over lunch, whereas Sarah's like, no, we sorted it out,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: didn't eat, and then dropped her off so she can
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: go have lunch.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I honestly can't say that's surprising to me.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so there was not not a lot. I mean,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: there was consistencies, but it wasn't fully consistent to what
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: they were saying. However, the weight of the guilt was
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: weighing heavy on Corey's conscience.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, I knew it was going to be Corey, he
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: knew it was gonna be. I knew it was going
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: to be Cory.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which of course set him apart from Sarah because
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Sarah didn't seem like she was going to be cracking.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: So the burden of the whole secret became unbearable, and
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: during the police interrogation, Corey finally broke down and confessed
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the whole horrifying truth. So he revealed that the week earlier,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Sarah had been beaten and strangled or sorry, Sarah had
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: beaten and strangled Adrian my bad in the backseat of
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the car, and together they had dismembered and disposed of
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: her body.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, they actually went to the extent where
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: they dismembered her body.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, holy shit. Before we get into that, I do
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: want to recount a conversation with Brett Gregory, who's Corey's father.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: So he stated, quote, he started crying, and I started
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: asking him questions, and he started breaking down. He started
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: crying more, so I knew something was up. I just
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: couldn't even say anything. I just cried and hugged him,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and he says, mom, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: At that point, my heart was so broken. I didn't
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: even have words. I said, did something happen to her
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: in that car and he started shaking his head. Yes,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: he couldn't talk. I said, did she get hurt in
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the car? He shook his head yes. I said did
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: she get hurt bad? He said really, really a lot.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I said, is she dead? He shook his head yes.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I said, well, where's she at? He just couldn't He
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: just couldn't talk.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Holy that that's heavy, Like that's brutal, right, that makes
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: me like want to solve my face off.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: That's a conversation between a father and son step by
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: step figuring out that he killed his friend.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, I mean, because that's the thing, like you see,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: like Adrian was the victim, right, yes, but then there's
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: other victims always in like in crimes and stuff too,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: that don't necessarily get like recognized, I suppose. But yeah,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: like imagine being a parent. Your kid made the one
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: of the worst decisions that you could ever have made,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: like really fucked up. Oh yeah, and like their life
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: is gonna be like overaltered to to yeah, like a
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: state of being over almost. Yeah, so brutal.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: So Corey's absolutely chilling confession because I mean, your eyes
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: are watery as fuck right now.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I could hardly listen to that all hit.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: It would continue to unfold in questioning as he described
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: the horrific aftermath of their actions, and this is where
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: they actually understand the details of the beating and the strangulation.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: So when he described this, he described when they arrived
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: at the farm in the secluded spot detailed, they decided
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: they were going to try and dispose of their friend's remains.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: So quote, we poured gasoline on her and lit her
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: on fire, Corey revealed. When asked about the details, he
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: admitted to being the one who poured the gasoline on
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the tarp that was covering Adrian's body, and they used
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: a buttane lighter to set the fire ablaze while Sarah
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: stood beside him, seeking comfort as tears streamed down her face. However,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: the plan didn't exactly go as expected. Adrian didn't turn
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: to ash as they hoped, instead of simply burning the
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: evidence where they were as they were hoping. They were
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: left with a macabre dilemma of what to do next
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: because Adrian's body was still completely there was just she
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: now had some severe burns on herself.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: They literally thought that it would just be like cremating her.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, really, hey, I don't think pouring gas on a
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: steak would cremate a steak, Like you're going to see
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: her and burn and chart, but it's not doing anything
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: internally or all the way through. So yeah, tarp and
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: gasoline they thought was going to just cremate her, not
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: even close. So Corey and Sarah contemplated cutting up Adrian's
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: body to dispose of her, but Sarah wasn't going to
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: do it, and Corey and Corey refused, unable to bear
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: the idea of cutting her up. Okay, okay, In their desperation,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: they came up with an idea. They sought the assistance
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: of another friend by the name of Nathan Goddet, someone
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: who had a very dark fascination with blood, gore, and violence.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Holy okay, I'm just like, now, yeah, you almost think
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: this shit's wrapping up and it's not.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Nope. So the following day, with Nathan now in tow,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: they returned back to the farm. Armed with Nathan and
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: his grandfather's hacksaw. Whoa, Nathan began to dismember Adrian's body
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: piece by piece.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, was this fucking Nathan guy friends with her as well?
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he was friends with Adrian or
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: not he would have known her. I'm assuming, but I
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, I am just like, what the actual fuck at
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: this point? Oh yeah, he actually went and fucking helped.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, he just went and just began
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: hacking her body up while the other two just sat
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: back and watched.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Good god. Okay.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: So, once Adrian's remains were in more manageable pieces, I
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: guess as a way to describe it, they discarded torso
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and legs in a nearby ravine before grabbing a meal
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: at McDonald's and then proceeding to the nearby local Blackhawk
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Historic site, where they buried remains. The rest of the
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: remains several feet below a manhole cover.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: They went and had some fucking chicken nuggets with plum sauce.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: After they did.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: That show if they had nuggets and plum sauce, that
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: is so fucked. Yeah. They butchered their friends, disposed of
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: half her remains, went to McDonald's for lunch, and then
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: continued the rest. Holy shit, Yeah, how can you say
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that you even have a conscience, let alone a fucking
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: stomach to eat lunch in a situation like that. That
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: is fucked.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the fucking warning for this one. Here. I
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: was just like Lotti da da da, sitting down. I
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: don't know why I'm Lati da like, of course shit's
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: going down here.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: But holy crap, Well your reaction is pretty much the
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: reaction the whole investigation team went. Corey was confessing this
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: in the interrogation.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Wow, okay, Like, I don't even know if someone's confessing
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: shit like this. I just don't actually think. I've always
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: thought I could be an investigator, but I don't know
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: if I could, because I don't think I could have
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: like a poker face during that shit.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: You don't have a poker face. Now you look fucking pissed.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I'm very uncomfortable, very agitated, and pissed.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, rightfully so. So after the whole confession in the interrogation,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: the police now know what happened, what's going on. Corey
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: would lead police to the Blackhawk Historical Site where they
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: uncovered Adrian's severed arms and head, and then to Sarah's
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: grandparents farm where they found her legs and partially charred Torso.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: So the investigator's police now have their suspects. They had
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: a confession, and they now had remains. However, one crucial
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: detail remained concealed in Corey's testimony, a detail that I
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: actually already did divults the involvement of the friend Nathan.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Corey didn't initially tell investigators about him. Really, it was
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: only through Nathan's grandmother that the police learned his role
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: in this whole gruesome incident.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm surprised by that.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So she contacted authorities concerned about a bloody hacksaw
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: she found in her basement, jeez, which pointed towards her
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: grandson's involvement, And when questioning Corey about it, he was like, oh, yeah,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: he yeah, here's how his involvement went. And then he
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: divulged that piece of information. Sorry for being a little
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: bit off track with that events, but it seemed more
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: right to tell you his involvement earlier.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: That's fine, but that, I mean, good for the grandma. Yeah, honestly,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: like that's impressive because like, I don't think that would
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: necessarily be an easy thing for a grandma to do.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. So Yeah, anyways, this whole situation, Corey,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: he justified his acts, his actions as an act of
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: protecting Sarah, a girl he deeply cared for from facing
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: jail time. He wanted to prevent her from facing jail time.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: He wanted to help her and cover this up, And
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: it was all basically an act of love, which I'm
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: pretty sure we all kind of guess that anyways. Yeah,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: so once we were kind of talking into getting tried
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: and trials. Despite efforts, Sarah was eventually tried as an adult,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: but her first trial ended in a mistrial on November
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: sixteenth in two thousand and five, as the jury couldn't
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: reach a unanimous verdict, which surprises the absolute hell out
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: of me.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I don't, yeah, what's like, what was the issue?
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly, but they could not reach a verdict.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: They could not all determine if she was guilty or innocent.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Someone was at least on one opposing side, at least one.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: So in the retrial that began on February eighth, two
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: thousand and six, Sarah was found guilty of first degree
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: murder and concealing a homicide for three weeks.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, first agree, Hey, yes.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: She received a sentence. You ready for this?
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: M hm? Oh it's better be good fifty three years ohkay? Okay?
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: And bars Yeah, I'm actually alright with that.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Corey pled guilty to the same crimes in May
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: of two thousand and five, with his supposed minimal participation
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: resulting in a sentence of forty five years.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Whoa, uh okay, I kind of feel like that one's
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know, that's so tough. I feel like that's
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: a bit much considering what she got. But oh god, yeah, okay.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: So he did have an appeal, and his latest one
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: was denied on September seventeenth, two thousand and nine, where
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: part of his complaint revolved around seeking a lesser sentence
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: because he was the one who led authorities to Adrian's remains.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: The judge basically referred to his appeal as a case
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: of buyer's remorse because he attempted to withdraw his guilty
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: plea and demand a new trial because he's all like, well,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I led you to the remains. I should get a
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: lesser charge. I mean, you still did the fucking crime. Yeah,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: And I mean, honestly, you did get a lesser charge.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: It's I don't know. He he didn't. He wasn't the
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: one who pulled the trigger, but he was there. He
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: let it happen. He pinned her down, He then hid
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: her body, he helped someone find someone to dismember her body. Sure,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: he confessed later, but you still did all those fucking
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: horrific things in the meantime.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I know, I'm struggling with that when little bit because
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: I guess, like, if it wasn't for him, or sorry,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: if it wasn't for Sarah, like he wouldn't have done that.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. I mean, he definitely deserves jail
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: time one hundred percent. Yeah, But and then I just
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: wanted to say too, I'm almost wondering if Sarah's original trial,
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: if it was an issue of like deciding if it
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: was like first degree versus kind of like manslaughter or something.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: It's just a thought in my head because like, maybe
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: it was kind of obvious that she's guilty. I can't
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: imagine someone thinking she's not, So maybe it was just
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: not sure for the charge.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, That's.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: That's the only way my head can go.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The whole Justine system sentencing for Nathan, however, was
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: widely deemed inadequate for the severity of his actions. So
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: regarding that Sarah had fifty three and Corey had forty
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: five with Nathan due to the plea bargaining at his
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: age at the time of the crime, then received a
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: relatively lenient sentence of what do you.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Think five years?
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Five years in juvenile detention?
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is fucked. Yeah, because if anyone I feel
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: like is going to reoffend, potentially it could be him.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, because he just jumped in there and
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: happily packed up a.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Body like it's it's actually like terrifying.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which I mean, that's pretty much what everyone else
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: is saying. Like the whole decision was raising concerns about
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: public safety given the potential risk associated with his release
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: on what he fucking did. Yeah, that's everyone's concerns too. Yeah,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Like he has a subsession, he no questions asked, just
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: hacked up someone.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: And got a taste for this now yeah, well yeah exactly.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: And he's only gonna put away in juvenile attention for.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Five years yep. So oh that makes me almost ill.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The case of Adrian Reynolds, of course, remains a
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: horrific and sad story. She's a young girl who was
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: just trying to better her life but instead lost it
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: because of a jealous friend and a quasi love triangle.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Jeez. And the fact, okay, like what happened in the
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: back seat was like horrible, But the fact that they
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: just man like destroyed her body, like destroyed her body
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: for her family, if that's like what they did to
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: it after the fact, is like is almost just as disturbing.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Really, well, what was the point of dismembering her? They
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: dumped her in locations? Cool, they didn't really cover her
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: by any means. She was dumped in half of her
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: was dumped in ravine on her parents, her grandparents property. Okay,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: if someone comes across that ravine, they're just gonna see
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: pieces of a body. Yeah, why not just dump an
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: entire body so there's no difference, you know.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it was. It's like almost just so unlogical
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: their thought process, I guess of what was going through
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: their head. I mean, they were obviously panicking.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe they were just angry, you know, they just couldn't
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: think clearly.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Until their McDonald until they had.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Their fucking McDonald's.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Oh that's so disturbing. I literally can't believe that someone
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: would want to eat, like would be able to eat
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: like after that.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Holy.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: So Yeah, that's the story of Adrian Reynolds.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: Huh, that's really really sad.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that one came up on our discord, so
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: thank you for that.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: And sorry, this was in the United States or where
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: was this?
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Okay in the States, Okay, okay.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: How many times are you going to say? Okay? I
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: I'm very disturbed right now. I don't have anything, rightfully,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: So this was this was bothersome to me, this one.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Why exactly was it bothersome? Just because it was so like,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: there's no point to this.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: It was just yeah, and I guess it was just
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: like very unexpected, like it was just and ones that
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: bother me more when it's just so like unnecessary, and
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: not that any are necessary, but when it's just so
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: like absurd. I don't know. This one, just this one
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: just is hard for me to process for some reason
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Fair enough. I mean, I'm someone who plays Devil's advocate
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: all the time, so I try and get in the
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: head of what someone is thinking or reasons why not
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: that I agree with it, you know, But at least
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: with some killers, you can get in their head and
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: you understand their thought process as dark and stupid as
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: it is. With this one, I can't do that. I
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: can't understand her thought process. Boys like you, so I'm
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: going to kill you?
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Sometimes teenage girls are interesting.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Trust me, so can teenage boys. I think teenagers in
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: gener yeah, are just interesting. But humans too.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: But I all ages, I very much. So do believe
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: that there could have pit potentially been some ill feelings
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: or like, I don't think that her intentions were appear
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: when she offered to go have lunch with Adrian.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: To be honest, no, I don't think so either. But
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think she had the intentions of killing her there.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe not killing yeah, because.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Like I said, a very public place. Who's going to
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: kill someone mid day like lunch rush we're talking here?
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like that doesn't line up to me.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: But I don't really think that it was like to reconcile.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Maybe not. Maybe she planned on just kicking the shit
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: out of her or something.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Interesting.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe she did plan on that whole altercation in the
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: car too, but she just didn't plan on actually killing her,
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: you know. And then as it's happening, this deep seated
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: thing that she actually kind of really wants to happen,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: did you know yeah, well maybe I don't know one way,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: no matter how you slice it like this, it's just
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: so fucked it doesn't make sense. There's the motive for
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: boys think you're cute and you want to date my
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: ex boyfriend who I am not dating anymore, and refuse
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: to date, so I'm gonna kill you. Doesn't make any
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: fucking sense.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this honestly just makes me a like not miss
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: being a teenager and be like, actually, like pretty fine
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: that we're not having kids, because that shit's just yeah,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: I can't. I don't think i'd be able to deal
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: with that.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty I'd like grim.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: My huskies and my chickens and yeah, but honestly, kiwi
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: oh and Kiwi sorry my chicken.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: It's a second thought.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: The chickens could raise some hell too.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well chickens will probably eventually bully and pick
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: on each other, right.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and I'm not gonna be doing well with
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: that anyway.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it work.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Research for that one.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one was actually relative easy to research. I
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: don't know why, but I just had I don't know,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: there was something about it that was like easy to research.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: The whole information out there wasn't a super accessible. I
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: think it was just so intriguing to me, Like I
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: was really captivated with what the fuck that I was
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: just into the research on it, you know.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And like I mean, it had like a really
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: like easy timeline to follow to ice.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Of hope it did. It really did, because there's not
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: like like the actions occurred a couple days later confession
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: and like it all happened within like six months sort
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: of thing as opposed to like years of time. And
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: you know, so I think that kind of definitely helped.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: But I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. It is interesting.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: I was just going to say, yeah, they even went
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: through the court process pretty dang quickly. Really, yeah they did, honestly. Yeah, Okay,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: and I just wanted to say really quickly, I am
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: finally working on an episode.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: It will come.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: It will be a little while. Yeah, this wedding season
• 50:01
