A Georgia teen has been accused of killing her mother and stepfather after she first allegedly reached out to TikTok bloggers for help on solving the case.
According to court documents viewed by Us Weekly on Friday, July 18, Sarah Grace Patrick was arrested on July 8 in Carroll County on two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault. At the time, she was denied bond.
“We can confirm that an arrest has been made in this case,” the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office also wrote via Facebook on July 8. “Kristin Brock’s 17-year-old daughter, Sarah Grace Patrick, has been taken into custody and charged with two counts of Murder and two counts of Aggravated Assault in connection with the deaths of her mother [Kristin] and stepfather [James Brock].”
The arrest came more than one year after police first discovered the bodies of Kristin, 41, and James, 45, on the morning of February 20, 2025. According to police, they both died from apparent gunshot wounds in their home.
“While the case has not remained in the public spotlight in recent months, this investigation has never gone silent,” police said in their latest statement. “Real justice takes time, time to ensure that no detail is overlooked, no stone unturned.”
Even with the arrest, police said the case remains an active and ongoing investigation and additional arrests are possible as new evidence comes to light. Anyone with information is still encouraged to come forward.
“Our prayers remain with the families of James and Kristin Brock, and especially with their young daughter who was at home during this horrific crime,” police said. “We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the community that rallied for justice and never gave up hope.”
Before an arrest was made, Patrick reportedly reached out to multiple TikTok influencers to bring attention to the case, People reported.
Carroll County Communications Director Ashley Hulsey confirmed to FOX News Digital in a July 11 press conference that Patrick had a TikTok account that commented on posts related to the case and said investigators uncovered “mountains of evidence.”
Patrick’s grandfather Dennis Nolan has questioned the strength of the case and believes his granddaughter is innocent.
“It’s all speculative stuff,” he said in an interview with FOX 5 Atlanta. “Nothing puts the gun in her hand. They don’t have the gun.”
After Patrick’s arrest, Nolan said he received a phone call from his granddaughter in jail.
“What are they doing to me?” she reportedly told Nolan. “Why are they doing this to me? I didn’t do anything.”
