A Georgia teen, Sarah Patrick, is facing murder charges after allegedly killing her mother, Kristin Brock, and her stepfather, James Brock, in February.
In a disturbing twist, Patrick posted multiple TikToks in the days following their deaths, expressing grief while making bizarre comments about the slayings, including captions such as “Should prob delete later” and “miss them so much,” according to police.
The Murder and Allegations
Sarah Patrick, 17, was arrested on July 8 and charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault in connection to the deaths of her mother and stepfather. The killings took place at the family’s home in Tyus, Georgia, with authorities discovering the bodies on February 20.
Patrick reportedly called 911, claiming that her 6-year-old sister had found the couple’s bodies. The younger sister was unaware of what had happened and was deeply affected by the discovery.
In the days following the deaths, Patrick allegedly took to TikTok, posting tributes to her parents that were deeply unsettling. In a June 30 post, she shared a video of herself at the beach, captioning it with, “Take me back to the beach rn.”
Weeks later, she posted a photo of herself, writing, “If you asked me about my mom and stepdad, I’d say I miss them so much.” In the same post, she added, “I feel so homesick and I miss them so much I can’t stand the fact I can’t see them anymore.”
Social Media Posts and Evidence
One of the most chilling TikTok posts showed Patrick’s apparent denial of responsibility for the killings. In the post, Patrick wrote, “They don’t know it but a year from now me and my 5-year-old sister would find them wrongfully shot dead in our home.”
She also claimed that they wouldn’t be able to watch her graduate high school or see her walk down the aisle. The post was accompanied by text overlays, saying, “I still have no answers, I’m so confused on how someone could’ve done this and even more confused on why.”
The posts came just weeks after the deaths, prompting police to investigate the nature of Patrick’s involvement in the crime. Patrick’s unsettling posts, including one captioned “Should prob delete later,” raised suspicions among investigators about her potential role in the murders.
The Role of Patrick’s Biological Father
Patrick’s biological father, Doniel Patrick, played a pivotal role in her arrest. After being informed that there were arrest warrants for his daughter, Doniel allegedly brought Sarah to the sheriff’s office himself.
Before turning her in, Doniel had shared a public post on Facebook, expressing support for Sarah, saying, “You were sent here with purpose, wrapped in grace, and born to shine in ways only your soul knows how.”
Sarah Patrick is now in police custody, and her biological father’s involvement has raised questions about his knowledge of the events leading up to her arrest. It’s unclear what role, if any, he had in the crime or whether he was aware of his daughter’s involvement.
The Investigation Continues
Police have emphasized that the investigation into the murders is ongoing. Carroll County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Ashley Hulsey confirmed that authorities are exploring whether others may have been involved in the deaths of Kristin and James Brock.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting and the motives behind the killings remain unclear, and investigators continue to speak with Sarah Patrick as part of their ongoing efforts to piece together the events.
Sheriff Hulsey also addressed concerns about Patrick’s behavior following the murders, stating that her attempts to hide the truth were concerning. “Considering that she didn’t just immediately tell us what happened, yes,” Hulsey said. “But who knows what’s going on in a young person’s mind like that?”
The case of Sarah Patrick is a tragic and disturbing example of a young person’s involvement in violent crime. The murder of Kristin and James Brock has left their family reeling, and the bizarre behavior exhibited by Sarah in the days following their deaths has only added to the shock and confusion surrounding the case.
As investigators continue to search for answers, the true motivations behind the killings and the full extent of Sarah Patrick’s involvement will likely come to light in the coming months.
