Wordpress theme, sidebar location

I bought a non-wordpress theme that I'm currently adapting to wordpress. The only problem I have is the location of the sidebar. It loads in the same area as the main content for some reason.

End of header file: 

    <!--Content Sec -->
        <div id="content_sec1">
            <!--Main Section-->
            <div class="col1">

And the start of the footer file: 

 </div> <!--col1 end -->
<div class="col2">
                <?php
                    /* 
                     *  Load the sidebar
                     */
                    get_sidebar();
                ?>
</div>

As said the sidebar loads in the end of the col1 div instead of in the col2 div as it should. The col2 div remains empty.

Any ideas why this happens?

Based on what we've discussed, I assume that there is a call to get_sidebar() somewhere between header and footer - take a look at single.php, page.php, etc. Or just run a grep in the theme directory and see where it is: grep -rn 'get_sidebar' .
