The chilling social media posts of a Georgia teenager who tearfully eulogized her mother and stepfather at their funeral, only to later be charged with their murders, have been revealed.
As previously reported, Sarah Grace Patrick, now 17, was arrested on July 8 and charged as an adult with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault. Her mother, 41-year-old Kristin Brock, and stepfather, 45-year-old James Brock, were found shot dead in their Carrollton home - located roughly 45 miles west of Atlanta - on February 20.
At the time of the killings, Patrick was just 16. Police say she was inside the home when the murders occurred and that her five-year-old sister discovered the bodies. Patrick then called 911.
"There were no signs of forced entry, and nothing appeared to have been taken," Carroll County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Ashley Hulsey confirmed. "With no evidence of a break-in, the investigation turned inward."
Patrick’s arrest followed what investigators described as “mountains of physical and digital evidence”, including her online activity and the emotional eulogy she delivered at a March 8 funeral service at Catalyst Church in Carrollton.
"It seemed odd," Hulsey told NewsNation. "It was more like a speech. And at the end she said, ‘I’m sorry.’ Was that, ‘I’m sorry because I may have done this,’ or is it, ‘I’m sorry because I was upset during this eulogy’? We may never know."
Footage from the service shows Patrick, dressed in a pale blue dress, breaking down as she addressed mourners: "I was so used to you guys always being here... I didn’t have a single clue how much I needed y’all until now."
In the weeks that followed, Patrick continued sharing grief-themed posts on social media.
One TikTok video, made a month after the killings, included family photos over emotional music. The text read: “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… They won’t get to watch me graduate high school, see me walk down the aisle, or even say goodbye.”
In another post, she appeared to blame herself for her sister discovering the bodies: "I can't help but hate myself because I didn't wake up to find them before my 5yo sister had to find her parents like that."
And in one tearful selfie, she writes: "This can't be real. [On the way] to my parents [sic] funeral."
Some family members, however, had already grown suspicious.
Krysten Dowda, James Brock’s niece, told the Daily Mail she was not surprised when Patrick was arrested.
“She fake cried at the funeral," Dowda said. "The story kept changing. The pieces just weren’t making sense.”
Dowda recalled sitting in the front row during the eulogy and thinking: "Am I actually witnessing the person who murdered them, standing up here in front of everyone?"
The sheriff’s office stated that the investigation remains active, and additional arrests may still be made. “The pursuit of justice does not end today,” Hulsey said.
Patrick remains in custody and is being charged as an adult.
