Make sure to like, subscribe, and tune in each day.High school is brutal. To quote my dear friend Dexter from season 6, “High school, a small world unto itself, combining all the elements of a federal work camp with those of a third-world poultry farm.” Adrianne Reynolds, a 16-year-old, had recently arrived in town in November. Originally, Adrianne had been residing in Kilgore, Texas, with her mother. However, due to difficulties in school, her parents decided to send her to live with her stepfather, hoping that a change of environment would provide her with a fresh beginning. Consequently, Adrianne relocated to East Moline, Illinois, where her father and stepmother eagerly welcomed her. It was in East Moline that Adrianne crossed paths with Sarah and Corey. Like most teenagers, all Adrianne wanted was to fit in, and she was an outgoing and talkative girl who loved to sing. Her biggest dream was to be a contestant on American Idol. Adrianne would never get the chance to audition for the popular television show. Adrianne would never get a chance to do anything ever again.Join Jen and Cam from Our True Crime Podcast as we discuss ‘With Friends Like These: Adrianne Reynolds Day 1: The 12 Nightmares Before Christmas.’Listener Discretion by @octoberpodVHSMusic by our EP Nico @theinkypawprintSources:}https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna15333880https://web.archive.org/web/20150722111604/http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20146836,00.htmlhttps://www.themidwestcrimefiles.com/post/unthinkable-the-murder-of-adrianne-reynoldshttp://www.nbcnews.com/id/15333880https://web.archive.org/web/20150722111604/http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20146836,00.htmlhttps://qctimes.com/news/local/article_491d3fbc-0643-11df-a00e-001cc4c03286.htmlhttps://qconline.com/archives/qco/display.php?id=296357https://qctimes.com/news/local/accomplice-in-east-moline-teen-s-killing-dies-in-fiery/article_2d85584c-8996-11e1-a999-0019bb2963f4.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20120324123837/http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?90249-Illinois-teen-killed-and-dismembered-classmates-under-arresthttps://www.kwqc.com/2022/03/09/cory-gregory-gets-same-sentence-2005-killing-adrienne-reynolds/?outputType=amp
