In 2005, in Moline, IL, Adrianne Reynolds, a 16-year-old Blackhawk Community Outreach Center student, was murdered by the people she thought she could trust, the people she thought were her friends. What follows her murder, though, is the stuff of nightmares. The Morbid Midwest opens with the tale of a jealous triangle turned deadly in this horrifying story, right in our backyard.
