DIXON, Ill. - The stepmother of a 16-year-old girl whose body was burned, sawed and hidden in two counties said the teen convicted in the killing is "a girl without a soul."

"She didn't cry, I didn't see nothing from her," Joann Reynolds said Wednesday after a jury found 17-year-old Sarah Kolb guilty of first-degree murder and concealing a homicide in the death of Adrianne Reynolds.

Kolb's court-appointed attorney, though, said the teen is not the vindictive killer portrayed by prosecutors. David Hoffman said he spoke briefly with Kolb after the verdict.

"She was scared and anxious and now she's probably as depressed as hell. That's the way I would be," Hoffman said.

sounds like something out of a freak'n movie or something... damn man.
