#1

The family of Jo Reynolds, Tony’s wife, had a difficult time dealing with Adrianne, Tony’s sixteen-year-old daughter. They had reconciled and were on the path of healing a broken relationship.

#2

When Jo passed by Adrianne’s room, she noticed her work clothes laid out. She was not the least bit worried, as she knew Adrianne would never blow off her shift. She had made lots of friends since moving into town.

#3

When Tony and Jo got to Checkers, Adrianne’s boss said that she hadn’t heard from her. Something wasn’t right. They took off home and thought about the past few weeks at the house, and all the stress between Jo and Adrianne. They thought about what might have happened to Adrianne.

#4

Adrianne had gone out and gotten her eyebrow pierced, just like her friends had told her not to. She was also interested in the Juggalo culture, which was a mix of antiestablishment, two-man band Insane Clown Posse and violent, sexist, and vulgar music.

#5

Adrianne was eventually able to find some new friends, but she was always in danger of being bullied by her peers if she didn’t go along with what they were doing. She eventually decided to seek counseling.

#6

When parents can feel helpless, not to mention guilty, you do what you can to keep yourself occupied and focused on locating your child. You try to believe that all will be well in due time.

#7

Sarah and Adrianne had been dating each other for a while. They had exchanged romantic notes, and Sarah had indicated that she might fall for Adrianne. Regardless of the social dynamics involved inside the group, they were a tight bunch.

#8

Tony and Jo went looking for Sarah’s house. They couldn’t spot the car, so they thought Adrianne might be home when they pulled in.

#9

On January 21, 2005, Adrianne was missing. Her friends, Cory and Sarah, told Jill Hiers that they were the last ones to see her. They said she had run away all the time, and they didn’t care.

#10

The East Moline police department was called when Adrianne failed to show up at work. She had been missing for two weeks, and it was believed she had run away. She was a cutter, and had scars on her wrists from previous suicide attempts.

#11

The theory is that by deliberately harming yourself, exposing your emotional pain in a public way, rather than internally, your pain will be seen, which will help it heal. It helps the cutter cope.

#12

Adrianne told her therapist that the kids at school were calling her names and making fun of her because she’d had sex with two boys in a short period of time. She wanted the kids to stop calling her names and respect her.

#13

After Sarah hung up with the police, she told her friend that she had been giving Adrianne a ride, and that they had dropped her off at McDonald’s near her house. She had not heard from Adrianne since then.

#14

On Friday, January 21, 2005, Adrianne was seen at a counseling session where she took full responsibility for her actions and explained that she had done nothing to resolve her problems. She wanted more than anything to be able to tell the truth and know that she had earned back the trust she had broken.

#15

Adrianne’s parents, Tony and Jo, were constantly on her back about who she was hanging out with. They placed several cans on her door to make sure she didn’t sneak in during the night.

#16

On Saturday, January 22, Tony and Jo went out to look for Adrianne. They drove to Port Byron, a town about twenty minutes away, and searched the high school there. They then went home and called the police to see if they had any new information.

#17

The sad and sobering statistics regarding runaways and missing children in the United States suggest a bit of confusion and misinterpretation on the public’s part. Most children who run away do so by their own accord.

#18

The situation was becoming more unwelcoming by the hour. The more time that passed without a call or indication from Adrianne that she was okay, the better the chances were that she had met with trouble.

#19

At the Davenport, Iowa, Showcase Cinemas, Sarah was working her 3 to 10 p. m. shift. She spent most of her time on her phone talking to coworkers and friends. She told them that she had fought with another girl, and had one of her teeth broken.

#20

The family was beginning to fear that Adrianne had run away, as no one had seen her since school on Friday. The silence was unlike Adrianne, who usually made noise wherever she went.

#21

The EMPD had made contact with Sarah Kolb for the second time that afternoon, after hearing from several people that she was bragging about a fight she’d had with Adrianne on Friday. They wanted to clear up any differences in the stories she and Cory had told police.

#22

Sarah explained to the police that she and Adrianne had been fighting, and that Adrianne had called her a whore. She then dropped Adrianne off at McDonald’s, and drove around to the drive-through. When they left the drive-through, they did not see Adrianne again.

#23

On Sunday, Tony went to look for his wife. Adrianne had never been caught drinking or using drugs, and Tony was desperate to find out what had happened to her.

#24

On Sunday, March 21, 1999, Nate Gaudet, wearing a black trench coat and dark sunglasses, got into a red car with two other boys and drove off. His grandmother was worried about him and what he was up to.
