Hey true crime besties. Welcome back to an allnew episode of Serial as.

Annie Elise
Hey everybody, welcome back to an all new episode of Serial Less ly with me. Annie Elise. And as you can see, I'm not in my normal set. I'm sitting here on the couch with you, have my laptop in front of me because I needed to jump on the mic and talk to you about this case. Not only have so many of you been requesting me to cover this, to talk about it, to weigh in on it, to look into it, when it first came across my computer and my social media, I was dumbfounded. I was like, how is this real life? How do things like this actually happen? And even more than that, I know the crazy and beyond explanation type of stuff happens, don't get me wrong. But beyond all of that, I wanted to know why and how. Like how the heck did this even happen? It involves a very grisly, brutal murder. It involves deceit, it involves a huge social media investigation and quite literally some of the most bizarre and chaotic and I don't even know what other kind of adjective to use, like, beyond unsettling, some of the just most craziest behavior that I have seen in a long time. And I think that is really what is contributing to the virality of all of this. So many people are wanting the answer. So many people are just trying to wrap their heads around how this is even real. How is this even real life. And if you haven't guessed it by now, this is the case of Sarah Grace Patrick and, and how she is a teenage girl who almost literally got away with a double murder. So we are going to jump right in. So on the morning of February 20, 2025, a 911 call came in to Carroll county dispatch in Georgia. Now, the voice on the other end, it was a young girl. She was panicked, and she was saying that her little sister had just discovered something unthinkable. Their mom and their stepdad had been shot right there in their own bed. This caller was 16 year old Sarah Grace Patrick. Her mom, Kristen Brock, was just 41 years old, and her stepdad, James Brock, was 45 years old. Together, the two of them were raising a beautiful blended family of seven children, all under one roof in what looked to be a very peaceful home about an hour west of Atlanta. And we talk about this all the time, right? From the outside looking in, this house seemed like your typical family home, right? Cozy, lived in, full of love. But what the investigators found on the inside, it was anything but that. The scene that Sarah had described was worse than anybody could ever even imagine. And stepping foot into that bedroom made it crystal clear this was not just a murder. This was a brutal double homicide. When the first responders finally arrived to the scene, it was unfortunately already too late. Both Kristen and James were dead, each of them shot multiple times. And right away, the investigators could tell that this was not the scene of a murder suicide. That theory was almost ruled out completely, like, immediately. Although, as I'm sure you all know from the many episodes that we have covered on here, sadly, that scenario is way more common than most people realize. So it was definitely something that they needed to rule out right away, one way or another. But now that it had been ruled out, the biggest questions remained of, okay, well, if it wasn't one of them, who did this? And more importantly, why? Because Kristen and James were not the type of people that you would expect to just end up at the center of a murder investigation. They were well known, well liked, they were active in their church. And by all accounts, they were just genuinely kind people, Friends, neighbors, even casual acquaintances. I mean, everyone had good things to say about them. So when the news of their deaths broke, it didn't just shake their family. It didn't just shake their daughter who called this 911 call in and said that her little sister had found them. It rocked the entire community. These were good people. No drama, no known enemies. Nobody could think of anyone who disliked them, let alone someone who would want them dead. So. So from the jump, this case just did not make sense. Not at all. So naturally the investigators wanted to start looking into all of the possibilities, right? I mean, maybe it was a break in gone wrong. Maybe it was targeted even though they didn't have enemies. Maybe it was more of like a crime of opportunity. But even looking into all of the different theories and all of the different possibilities, especially the break in theory, that really started to fall apart pretty quickly. I mean, for starters, there were no signs of forced entry at the house. There was also nothing broken, nothing pried open. Although there was one strange detail. A door had been found slightly ajar, just ever so slightly cracked open. Now was that odd? I mean, definitely. Why would a door just be ajar? Unless somebody had left their door unlocked that night and somebody had come in and just left it open, just a little bit cracked open. But was this enough to suggest a home invasion? I mean, not really. Maybe they were the kind of people who left their doors unlocked at night. Who knows? I mean, I am definitely not that kind of person. I like triple check and make sure everything is locked. But a lot of people leave their doors unlocked at night, especially if they live in a safe neighborhood. And I'm not suggesting that you ever should definitely lock your doors, but it is more common than we think, especially in smaller towns. But still, even thinking that maybe they left their door unlocked or maybe even left it a jar on, on their own by acc, things still just were not lining up. Nothing in the house looked ransacked, nothing was missing. It didn't have that, you know, chaotic thrown together kind of vibe that you would usually see in a robbery or burglary. It just didn't feel like somebody had broken in, grabbed whatever they could and then just bailed and took off and booked it. And then you add in the most chilling part of this entire thing, which is the fact that Kristen and James are weren't at the home by themselves. They weren't alone. Their daughter, which some reports say that she was five years old, some reports say that she was six, but still very, very young. Their young daughter was in the house that night. She's actually the one who found her parents dead from multiple gunshot wounds in their bed. And here's where things take another turn. Sarah Grace, the 16 year old who called 911 after her little sister found their parents, she was also in the home that night. Now, neither one of the girls saw or heard anyone come into the house that night. And that was really important. Right, because both of them were at the house. So you would think that any sort of information regarding that would be helpful. Whether they heard somebody, heard commotion, heard a door, saw something, saw a shadow, but they didn't see or hear anything. And here's where it also gets a little bit weird. Sarah Grace told the investigators that. That she did not hear any gunshots, not one. And they were both shot multiple times. So that in and of itself, I mean, it was pretty suspicious. Questionable at the very least, because like I mentioned earlier, Kristen and James had each been shot multiple times. And we're not talking about some, like, massive estate type of house with, like, a west wing, a movie theater in the basement, you know, all sorts of different areas blocked off. No, this was a regular sized home. It was a small family home. So if a gun went off, especially more than once, you would definitely hear it. Absolutely. No question. But then things got even stranger because according to one news outlet, a close family friend named Kelly Brown said that Sarah did tell her that while she didn't hear any gunshots that night, she did hear. Here's something she heard her stepdad, James LVAD machine stop working. Now, in case you're not familiar, an LVAD machine is basically this assistance device that you can wear. It's kind of like a mechanical pump that helps the heart circulate blood when it's too weak to do it on its own. And it kind of just makes this, like, constant humming sound, like a. Just this, you know, machine that is constantly running. So if it suddenly shuts off, you would probably notice, although it is not as loud as a gunshot. So that's the thing here. How do you hear a subtle machine powering down but not a single gunshot noise, let alone several? Obviously, none of this was making any sense. And I do want to just say this, too, just to be clear. This was not something. This wasn't a detail that was confirmed by police or shared in a press conference. This came from a friend of the family, so do with it what you will, but there was just something about this case from the very beginning. Actually, if we're being honest, there were a lot of things about this case. None of it was adding up. And the investigators could feel that, too. Their spidey senses were going off. Just something was not mathing here. You know, too many weird inconsistencies, too many questionable things happening. Something wasn't right, and they were determined to figure out what it was. Foreign. We are, like, well into the throes of summer and I recently had a bunch of our friends and their kids over for 4th of July. We were just gonna barbecue, swim, hang out, get together. We haven't seen each other in literal years and I was really excited about it. But I also knew that trying to get the house presentable was going to be a task and a tall order. Not only presentable for the 4th of July party, but also like cleaning up after the fact. After eight young toddler aged children just like run wild through the house.

Was it Sarah Grace? Was she hiding something? Did she know more than she was saying? I mean, odd that she heard that machine shut off, right? But not the multiple gunshots. So detectives started digging deeper. And while they were digging deeper, Kristen and James family was left to grieve. Not just the loss of two people that they loved, but also the fact that whoever did this, they were still out there. There was still a danger, not only to the public, but to their family. Could this perpetrator have thought that Sarah Grace or her younger sister could be an eyewitness? Were they going to be next? What was going on? Who was responsible for this? So as everyone is grappling with this news and grieving, the funeral comes. And for the investigators, this wasn't just a chance to quietly observe and see if anybody was acting a certain way or if anybody showed up that maybe wasn't expected to show up. This funeral ended up being a major turning point, all because of what was supposed to be a very simple, very heartfelt, very loving eulogy by their daughter, Sarah Grace.
Sarah Grace Patrick
For those of you who do not know me, my name is Sarah and I'm Kristin Block's daughter and James Block's stepdaughter. This isn't easy, and I've only helped me in the interview. I'm really hoping I get to keep this. Bear with me because I stutter a lot. I just wanted to say goodbye to my mama and Jamie since we never got the chance to. I was so used to you guys only so being here to complain that I never once thought to imagine y' all not being here. I didn't have a single clue how much I needed y' all until now. For James, thank you for all the life lessons you taught me and for being the best bonus dad ever. Your heart will finally be healed in heaven and neither of y' all will be in any pain anymore. Although that gives me so much comfort. Your fight was not supposed to end there yet. For my mother, everything we went through does not define what kind of and what kind of mother you were. You were a beautiful, kind soul with so much gratitude and so called strange. And you taught me so many life lessons and some that you just recently taught me through 11 sip and James in 2018, when I first read it, I smelled and I cried and I got chill bumps. And every single time I read it, it puts me to a lot of pace. So I thought I shared. May 23, 2018 Deuteronomy 6:5 Love the Lord your God, in all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength. The wrong one will bind you in peace and leave you in pieces, but the right word will find you in pieces and lead you to peace. You can't always choose the music the life plays for us at the Sheik, but you can choose how we dance to it. She was always dancing Jerome beat. Lol. And keep in mind she wants that herself. Eventually all the pieces fall into place, but until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment and know that everything happens for a reason. I can choose to let it define me, confine me, refine me, outshine me, or I can choose to move on and leave it behind me always Person.
Annie Elise
Walk.
Sarah Grace Patrick
Considering that you me so much commitment not to remember them for who they were and not what happened to them and be happy for the time we got to spend together and not sad about the time that we don't. I may always and will always be her son Shawn, but she will always be my starving up above. And I know at night time I can go and look at Mama and Jamie in the sky and gladly they will save me a seat in heaven like they say. Gladly they will save a seat for me in heaven like they saved a seat for me in this very church. Although there's nothing we can do to prove it that we still have control over how we treat people with us today. Therefore, when someone tries to tell you anything, no matter how important it could be, just listen. Because you never know when it's somebody's time to go. You could say goodnight and wake up a few hours just to find out they aren't there despite their joy and their love. So just listen and never take a hug or anyone or anything for granted in love with all that you have in you like they do. And lastly, my take on not taking people for granted. I want to thank my family, also known as my catafam, my grandparents, my siblings Jaylee, Johnny, Jaden, jojo, Trent, Tristan, Ashley and Jesse for helping me get in my worst case nightmare. And last but not least, I want to thank Tasha, Bri, Nate, Lane, Kimberly, Hayes, Kim, Balding, Katie, and most of all my father, Angie and Ben for making such a big difference. Jamie and Mama would have thanked y' all too. I love you guys and so do I. And so do they. I'm sorry.
Annie Elise
Now I've seen a lot of back and forth online about this eulogy and and I'll just say this, most people agree it was strange and that is putting it mildly. It didn't really sound like a tribute to two people who had just been brutally murdered. It felt more like this weird kind of off the cuff, fumbled apology more so than a eulogy. Especially because Sarah ended it with the words, I'm sorry. Now, no matter how you interpret it, one thing is for sure here. Between that speech, the lack of gunshots that she claimed to hear, and everything else that wasn't adding up, the investigators were officially starting to like, lock in on Sarah Grace. Not necessarily that she was the one responsible for this, but did she know more? Could she know more? Was she somehow involved? And right then, Sarah Grace did what a lot of young teenagers do. She took to social media and she started posting a lot on TikTok. Not only posting about her parents deaths, but pleading with the public if they knew any information, had any information, just absolutely devastated. And it seemed in a heartbreaking way, as though the tick tock community were her friends, her closest friends, and that she was confiding in them and looking for some sort of comfort in them. Now, if you didn't know much about the case, you would probably be scrolling on your for you page on TikTok, scroll past Sarah Grace's TikToks and see this very grieving teenager just trying to process this horrific tragedy that just happened in her life. Maybe, like I said, even looking for connection or some kind of strange comfort in strangers online. However, to the investigators who were very locked in on this case, they were already eyeing Sarah Grace pretty closely. So now these videos, these TikTok videos, they weren't screaming heartbreak to them, they were screaming guilt. And here's where it gets even wilder, okay? Sarah Grace wasn't just posting her own TikTok videos. She was actually reaching out to big TikTok creators, people with massive followings, asking them to get involved, asking them to please cover her mom and her stepdad's case, Pleading with them, y', all, this is Sarah Grace.
News Reporter
And she messaged me back on June 3rd and just said, search up Brock case. So I said, brock Turner Brock who? She said, kristen and James Brock.
Law Enforcement Official
Hold on.
News Reporter
They're my parents. And out of nowhere, a random Thursday night in February, someone came in my house with me and my 5 year old sister and my parents left them for me and my little sister to wake up to. Technically it was a Wednesday night because I found them Thursday morning. I am so sorry. I cannot imagine. I will absolutely research and cover their case. Please take care of you always.
Annie Elise
So yeah, at this point, this case was starting to pick up a lot of traction online. People were stunned. How could two people be murdered in their own home with two young children inside and no one saw and no one heard a single thing. Also, there was no forced entry, no solid evidence left behind, no clear motive. It just did not make any sense. And then just right when it felt like this case might actually go cold, there was a huge break in the case.
News Reporter
The story we first brought you is breaking news on Good Day Atlanta. This morning. FOX House Kevin Stewart joins us live at the Carroll County Jail. And Kevin, we understand the daughter of one of the victims has been charged with the killings.
Family Member
Yeah, that is the big shock of a teen. Daughter is now in custody charged with two counts of murder, two counts of aggravated assault. She is here at the county jail being held with without bonds.
Annie Elise
On July 8, everything changed because Sarah Grace was arrested. And get this, she actually turned herself in with her dad right there by her side. Her biological father.
Law Enforcement Official
That is so as you all remember, I recognize many of you in this room that did come out on the scene that fateful day on February 20th. On the morning of February 20th, 2025 deputies with the Carroll County Sheriff's Office responded to a tragic scene at 1531 Carrollton Tyus Road. They discovered the bodies of James Brock, 45, and Kristen Brock, 41, both deceased from apparent gunshot wounds. From the very moment the 911 call was received, a relentless investigation began. One that would span months, consume thousands of man hours and require the full weight of the local and federal law enforcement agency partnerships. Today we can confirm that an arrest has been made in the case. Kristen 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 and her stepfather. While the case has not remained in the public spotlight in recent months, the investigation has never gone silent. Led by investigator TJ Repetto, our team has pursued every lead, sifted through mountains of physical and digital evidence, conducted countless interviews and collaborated with agencies such as the FBI, the GBI crime lab and private forensic laboratories. In a world where television portrays crimes being solved in under an hour, the truth here is much more complex. Real justice takes time. Time to ensure that no detail is overlooked and no stone is not turned over. Sheriff Terry Langley, alongside Captain Guy Pope and Lieutenant Jackson Lawrence has remained committed to ensuring that justice is served in this heartbreaking case. Their leadership, combined with the tireless dedication of our investigators has brought us to this point today. We know the Public has been eager for answers, and we want to be clear. So have we. But bringing forth the truth responsibly and thoroughly is our highest obligation. We are proud of the unwavering commitment shown by every member of the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, and we stand behind the process that has led us to here today. Our prayers remain with the families of James and Kristen Brock and especially with their young daughter who was home during this horrific crime. We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the community that has rallied for justice and has never given up hope. The pursuit of justice does not end today. However, it is very possible, because this remains an open and ongoing investigation, that more arrest and charges this could be made. So with that, I will open this up to questions.
Sarah Grace Patrick
Has she been charged as an adult?
Law Enforcement Official
She has any idea what the motive was? We are still working with her diligently. Our investigators have been speaking with her.
Family Member
It is correct that she was the one call, Correct?
Law Enforcement Official
Yes.
Family Member
At what point did investigators begin to focus on her as the suspect?
Law Enforcement Official
So I believe in the beginning of any case, everyone's a suspect. I think I told many of you that when we were on scene that day. However, as an investigation continues and everything ebbs and flows, like said, like I said in my press release, mountains of evidence has gotten us through here today. Lots of processing, lots of working with our law enforcement partners to get us to where we are today. That honed in on her as a suspect.
News Reporter
Do you believe that she tried to cover this up in any way over the course of the months? You know, we've even seen videos on social media of somebody saying, you know, I'm making this message on behalf of the daughter. Do you believe she tried to get.
Law Enforcement Official
People to cover, considering that she didn't just immediately tell us what happened? Yes, but who knows what's going on in a young person's mind like that? But she has been arrested and charged now, and we feel confident that she is responsible for their murders. But like I said, it is an open, ongoing investigation. Investigation. It's very possible others are involved as well.
Family Member
What was the key break in the case?
Law Enforcement Official
Just evidence. Being able to go through evidence, being able to use private laboratories, being able to use GBI crime lab. You know, when you're processing stuff, like I said, it doesn't come back in an hour. So we've been filtering through and there's still evidence left to process.
Family Member
You noted the visual evidence. I assume that's text message, emails. Was there some type of betrayal that led you that way?
Law Enforcement Official
There's always a lot of evidence. I won't go into exactly what it is because it is an open, ongoing investigation, but we have mountains of evidence.
Annie Elise
What about the social media and the TikTok, that type of stuff going to be used?
Law Enforcement Official
That will be up to the prosecuting attorney and they'll work diligently with our investigators to make, you know, to make the case go forward towards trial or whatever they decide to do.
Annie Elise
Is that the younger adult, the youngest child that found them?
Law Enforcement Official
I believe that. And you speak to this, Kim, the smallest daughter, found them that morning? Correct. And then she came and told Sarah and then Sarah made the 911 call.
Family Member
Where was Sarah?
Law Enforcement Official
Sarah was in the home.
Family Member
No, I mean in the interim, where would she stay? Who was she living with?
Law Enforcement Official
She's 17. She's kind of been out on her own.
Family Member
Was she out on her own at the time?
Law Enforcement Official
No, she lived at home with her mother and stepfather at that time.
Annie Elise
Time.
Law Enforcement Official
But since then she's lived with different family members and kind of moved all over the place.
Family Member
Did she turn herself in?
Law Enforcement Official
Yes, she did turn herself in this morning.
News Reporter
Do you believe that any of the other family members knew about this?
Law Enforcement Official
Hard to tell. We're still. I can say this, that everybody that we have talked to through the course of the investigation, that our family members have been nothing but cooperative. Anything else? Did you do anything after the murder.
Family Member
During the investigation that you have some use in your.
Law Enforcement Official
Like I said, we're still kind of putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. But I can tell you what led us here today, and that's the evidence that Sarah killed her parents.
Family Member
Did she say why she turned herself in?
Law Enforcement Official
She turned herself in because we notified her she had warrants for her arrest.
Annie Elise
She had any previous charges. Any previous calls to the house regarding.
Law Enforcement Official
Not that I'm aware of. Not, Not. Not regarding her? Not that I'm aware of.
News Reporter
Did she see remorseful?
Law Enforcement Official
I have not been personally with her or interviewed her, so I could not answer that question.
Annie Elise
Did you get any kind of. Were they shocked?
Law Enforcement Official
Like I said, her family's been very cooperative. I can't imagine, as a parent making. Her father brought her up here this morning. She turned herself in. I can't imagine what he's going through, so my heart goes out to him as well.
Annie Elise
You talked about the family. I know they've been trying their best to keep this in the courtroom. I know you guys are working behind the scenes. I guess it takes, especially for kids this big, it takes a lot of time to make sure the I's are.
Law Enforcement Official
Dotted, the T's are crossed.
Annie Elise
And can you speak to that? Because they've been seeming like on social media that they were frustrated, but it takes a lot.
Law Enforcement Official
Yeah. And we understand. I mean, if you. If you don't work in the law enforcement field, like I said, CSI has kind of tainted us where, hey, something happens, it's done in an hour. This is not the case. I mean, and not only. Only that, don't you want the right person arrested? So that's why it takes so long. These diligent investigators took their time. We've got the. The person that we believe orchestrated this and committed this horrific crime. And that was played through the part of evidence. And that's not something that's processed overnight.
News Reporter
Do you know where the weapon came from?
Law Enforcement Official
I can't speak to that right now. Still. Still investigation. Say that again.
Annie Elise
Younger child.
Law Enforcement Official
She is six. Six years old now. She's staying with family. Oh, it's. It's absolutely a shock to our community. Carroll county is a great community. We very rarely have stranger on stranger crime here. So I would like to say that we're not a dangerous community. I know that the ties community that this happened in, those. Those neighbors were really up in arms as they should have been. Like I said, this is. Has been a process to get us to where we're at today, but we don't know what goes through the mind of a child who wants to harm their parents. So that I can't answer right now, but it is a very horrific and sad case.
Family Member
Was there any evidence of any type of, I don't want to say, abuse? Challenges in the home.
Law Enforcement Official
Still an ongoing investigation for anybody, you.
News Reporter
Know, worked on this case. I don't know if there's ever been any other. A case like this in any of your careers or if this is one of a few. But just when the facts, as you say, lead you to this conclusion, is it difficult or what is that like? Just as a human kind of.
Law Enforcement Official
When you follow the facts, you know, anytime you work a case where somebody's life has been cut short, you know, James is a special case because I believe, according to his family, you know, he had a lot of heart trouble. He'd had numerous heart surgeries. I believe he may have been waged on a heart transplant at some point. And to have his life cut short when he was given so many opportunities to live, to me, that's a big takeaway from this story and that a mother and a stepfather will never be able to raise their children and the little girl that was in the home, to me, she's probably the saddest victim in all of this.
Family Member
You did mention she didn't turn herself and you said she was turned in with her father.
Law Enforcement Official
Yes. Yes.
Annie Elise
All right. Now, this shocked everyone. I mean, not only family and friends and the community, but it shocked everyone on social media. Because here, Sarah Grace had already created a pretty big following for herself. And she was constantly sharing her journey of losing her mother and her stepfather and the grief, and how her little sister, her five year old or six year old little sister is the one who found their bodies. And social media and the social media community had been following along with this story. Just their hearts breaking for her, watching it all unfold. And again, she had reached out to so many creators, too, asking them to cover this case. So now, seeing that she had been arrested and looking at all of those Tick Tock videos, in hindsight, everyone was floored. Nobody could make sense of it. And everybody's thinking like, okay, there's got to be more to the story here. Surely this isn't what we're seeing at face value. Like, on the surface, there has got to be more. But was there? What was the motive? Where was the murder weapon? Who else was involved? And why would Sarah Grace have done this? There were still a lot of questions that needed to be answered. I'm gonna be honest with you guys, because I feel like we are in the circle of trust. I don't consider myself a bougie person. I really don't. I can eat freaking. I can chief down an RB sandwich for dinner one night and not be think, even think twice of it. I will go makeup list more times than I can count. Like, I'm just not a bougie person. But when it comes to my bedding and when it comes to my pillow, I'm really bougie. I'm somebody who, when I go to hotels, I. A bad pillow can throw my whole night off. Bad sheets if they're, like, scratchy. Sometimes I've even traveled with my own pillow because I am bougie. I guess, in that regard. Like, I just. I'm bougie when it comes to comfort, especially when it comes to sleeping. And I have to just say, I think that I have found my new luxurious life hack when it comes to sleeping pillows, bedding, duvets, all the things. And it is all thanks to. To Buffy. Not the vampire Slayer, but sounds like it, right? No. Buffy may be the most awarded betting brand out there.

Like I want them to have good fluffy bedding. This has so many awards. I'm sure they're going to love it. But then I decided to take it for a test drive one night and omg. When I took this for a test drive, you better believe all of those sheets that duvet, those pillows. They were getting ripped off of that guest bedroom. And they were getting put on my bed because so fluffy, so comfy. I get hot when I sleep. I was cool the whole night. You know the saying, like I wouldn't wish, like I wish my worst enemy that both sides of the pillows are warm. Buffy. Both sides of the pillow are always cool. Always cool. And like, oh, it just.

So Sarah Grace has been arrested, but the questions they are only continuing to stack. And one thing that I found really interesting during all of this is just the total lack of about the murder weapon. Like we know that Kristen and James were shot, right? But there's been no confirmation of whether a gun was ever recovered. Did they ever find it? Is it still missing? I don't know. They have not answered that. But that detail is definitely sticking with me very closely. And if the weapon is still missing, then that opens up a whole new can of worms, right? I mean could a 17 year old really pull this off? Hide a murder weapon so well that the investigators still haven't found it? Where did she even get it? Also was it something that was already in the house or did she somehow get her hands on it another way? I would imagine that when they found Kristen and James, they would have looked to see if there was a gun inside the house or if anything was missing. Was it there? Was it somewhere else? Did somebody else have the gun and did she, did Sarah Grayson give it to somebody to dispose of? Was somebody else involved? I mean we're definitely still in the early stages here and there are way more questions than answers right now. But those are just a few. Not to mention the big number one question, why? And and not for nothing, but let me give a second backup question that I think is equally important, if not even, I don't want to say more important but equally important, why did you let your sister, your five or six year old little sister be the one to find her parents? Do you have no soul, do you have no heart? Like that is going to traumatize this little girl for the rest of her life. All the while you just took to TikTok grieving, begging people to cover the case. Acting distraught like clearly isn't something right. And before I go into all of that, I will say there is a lot of speculation and a lot of mixed stories out there about Sarah Grace's mental health that she has gone into facilities in the past that that is a contributing factor in all this. But because we don't know anything concrete, I don't want to just throw it all out here and speculate on that. We will do of course a follow up episode where I go into that more once more information is shared but I do want to just at least throw out a tiny little bit of that. So as you can imagine, after her arrest this case really blew up. I mean it already had blown up way before this because of all the social media stuff. But what, you know, back when it was still unsolved but now it was really taking off and a big part of that viral push came from TikTok directly and came from a TikTok creator named allegedly reportedly. They understandably were very shaken up by everything that was coming out and honestly same I think everybody was. But take a listen, much more information.
News Reporter
Is going to come out. I will be making another video about this. I just wanted to get this out. I am an absolute shock because again the question I asked at the beginning of this video, why would you message me or any other true crime creator saying hey, please cover this case and then you wind up being arrested for it.
Annie Elise
This case is honestly a textbook example of why people get so hooked on true crime because nothing about this case makes any sense. You can sit there and turn over all of the whys a hundred different ways, you can look at it from a hundred different angles and yet still come up empty. Nothing makes sense. And as of right now, there is no known motive. Investigators at least haven't shared one, and they don't even seem to have a working theory unless they are just completely shielding it from the public, which I could also understand. But that's what makes all of this even more unsettling, because there are just no answers. And what's wild, too, is how fresh all of this still is. The arrest, the investigation. I mean, all of it. It's all happening in real time, unfolding as we speak. And in the initial press conference, officials said that Sarah Grace's family had been cooperative. So did anybody have some information maybe unbeknownst to them, and then they were cooperating and sharing it? Are they sharing about Sarah Grace's mental health? Like, what more are we going to learn? And I have to say, just when we felt like, okay, we're not going to hear anything for a while, this was Sarah Grace. She killed her parents. She. Whether it was mental health or something else, case closed. We'll find out the answers later. Just when we thought that was the case, Lawn crime dropped a little nugget in one of their recent videos because investigators have now said that more arrests could still be coming, which that definitely raised some eyebrows.
Law Enforcement Official
There's one other thing that I found interesting. You said more arrests could be possible. Can you elaborate a little on that? So what we believe is through, you know, interviews that we have had with Sarah, her father has been present during those as well. Different information that we've gotten throughout the course of the investigation and now that she's in custody, could possibly lead to other individuals that may have been a part of this. So that is what we're following now is those leads and seeing where that takes us. But we're not ruling it out. When you say a part of this, do you mean a part of the actual killings? A part of the, you know, accessory after the fact, harboring, or what do you tell? It's hard to tell, but I can tell you that we're looking at a couple of different aspects that someone could have been involved or had knowledge, and we won't know all those facts until we continue to work this case. It remains a very active and fluid case. And just because we made an arrest doesn't mean we don't still have A lot of work to do now.
Annie Elise
I don't know if this means anything. Okay. I don't know if there really are more arrests coming or if they're just kind of saying this to cover their bases in case they do find out that more people were involved. Maybe there was a co conspirator, maybe there was a friend of Sarah Graces that helped her out. Maybe there was a family member who didn't help her with the murders, but had more information than they let on and were hiding that information. We don't know. But I think the biggest question that I have in all of this, and I think it's one that a lot of us probably share, is why? Why? And if Sarah Grace is only one piece of a much bigger puzzle, then there is clearly a lot that we still don't know. And that does make sense too, because investigators aren't just going to show their full hand. If they're still building a case towards somebody else. And if there are more arrests that might be happening behind the scenes, they're going to keep that information privileged. They're not going to want to jeopardize their investigation. But what's also been really telling through all of this is how people who actually knew Sarah in real life, kids who went to school with her, people who were friends with her, how they've now started sharing their own reactions on Tick Tock and across the board, it's kind of the same sentiment, just total shock. Nobody was expecting this. Nobody saw anything like this coming. There were no warning signs, no red flag flags, no stories of her being a bully or even ever remotely aggressive. I mean, certainly nothing that could ever make you think that this girl could be capable of anything like this, let alone a double homicide.
Classmate
Here's a few things about Sarah that would shock you for her to even do this. And this is why we didn't suspect anything about it. Going to school with her and being her friend, she was super sweet. She always wanted to be friends with people. As someone else said when they were telling you, like telling us about, like, them being friends, she would always give notes to people that were crying. She'd always come up to you. She'd always give you food. She just wanted to be liked. And that's why it was so surprising to us that she would even do this.
Annie Elise
Some of her family members have even come forward in the media and they've expressed their just complete and utter shock at her arrest. Some of them even expressing their doubts that she's guilty.
Grandfather
Joining us now is Sarah Patrick's grandfather and Kristen Brock's dad, Dennis Nolan. Thank you for taking the time to be with us. I can't imagine what you and your family are going through. First question, what was your reaction to Sarah's arrest this week?
Family Member
Well, very surprised. I mean, I've been talking to the detectives since it happened. Had no indication that they were looking at Sarah as a suspect, no less any evidence that said she did it. So I was. I was shocked.
Grandfather
Do you believe she's the one who did this?
Family Member
No. No. I think to sum it up, really, the detectives, the best they could tell me was the evidence says that she's the only one who could possibly have done it. That says to me that there's no real evidence that says she did do it.
Grandfather
We hear that there's a mountain of evidence, but they haven't really said. But their term was mountain of evidence. What did they tell you beyond just she's the only one who possibly could have done it? What did they share with you about why they believe she's the one who is responsible for this?
Family Member
Well, they never did share anything that said she was responsible other than the fact that she's the only one. The evidence says she's the only one who could possibly have done it. Of course, they haven't revealed any of the evidence because it's an ongoing investigation, and I understand that, but I know they were pressured to make an arrest, and I think this might have been premature. I don't think they needed to wait till the investigation was over. Sarah was certainly wasn't going anywhere. But, you know, she's. She's taking it very hard. She swears by her innocence.
Grandfather
Have you spoken with her since her arrest?
Family Member
Yes, she called me from the. From the jail the day after, of course, pleading for me to help her get out. And she was just very upset, saying, please help me, and there's not much I can do at this point. I don't know what else to say. She's always been a good kid. I've always liked Sarah. She was always very friendly, and she never really asked for anything. She was a very. You know, to me, she was just an ideal child. She just graduated from high school. She was very proud of that. She had gotten. She was working two jobs. She was doing very well. And I just don't. I don't understand what could have ever. If she did do this, what triggered it?
Grandfather
If you, during that phone call, asked her if she had done it, what did she say?
Family Member
I didn't ask her because it was just assumed she didn't do it. I didn't, I wasn't going to accuse her of doing it. I just advised her to cooperate with the authorities and we, you know, wait and see and, and hopefully get her through this.
Grandfather
And she, she maintained her innocence. On that phone call. She said she's not the person.
Family Member
She said, I didn't do it. She said, why are they doing this to me?
Grandfather
And I'm sorry to go back to February 20th because I know you lost your daughter and your son in law, but what did Sarah tell you about that night in conversations that you had?
Family Member
Just that, you know, that Jaylee, her daughter went in to wake them up. She came back and Jaylee said she couldn't wake them up. And she, Sarah went in and found them, you know, deceased. And she made, she called 911 and that's all she said. She's never gone beyond that.
Grandfather
I know this is kind of a difficult question, but law enforcement said that they found it suspicious that Sarah would not have heard gunshots in that home. And that was something that in the beginning started, I guess to. It was a red flag for them and that a five year old would go in and potentially hear gunshots. And I know James had a heart machine, but then Sarah would not and that they found suspicious. What do you say to that?
Family Member
Well, I don't know. The house was very unusual and her bedroom wasn't next to theirs. But Sarah claimed that the TVs were on. I know they were on in both rooms. And I don't know, it did seem unusual to me that she didn't say she didn't hear the gunshots. But at, you know, 1:30 in the morning, she was asleep. I know I'm such a solid sleeper, you know, that it possibly could have happened to me and not hurt it.
Grandfather
What was her relationship with, with James and Kristen?
Family Member
It was good. It was very good. She was here Thanksgiving with them and we had a good time. Everybody was happy and it was good conversation. There was no, no trouble. And my conversations with Kristen right up, you know, right up to that night, she never mentioned anything about problems with Sarah, which she would have done. We, Kristen and I were very close. She was the daddy's girl.
Grandfather
Did Sarah know how to fire a gun?
Family Member
I'm sure she did, yeah.
Grandfather
You know, and this is Georgia. I mean many people grow up handling firearms. Did she grow up around guns? Did James had, were there guns in the house?
Family Member
You know, there were times they were here. You know, I live out in the county and we've taken you know, some of my guns and fired them off my deck and so forth. And I believe Sarah protecting some of that. At times, her brothers were more interested in it. But, yeah, no, I wouldn't say she got grew up with guns. No.
Grandfather
At the funeral, another. And the spokesperson for the Carroll County Sheriff said that this was something that stood out to her. That in. In Sarah's speech at the funeral, she said sorry at the end of her speech. And I guess investigators, that was another red flag for them. What do you make of that? That being a red flag to the people now accusing her of murder?
Family Member
I'm sorry she wrote that speech and I. I can't speak for her for that. It didn't. It didn't even occur. That never occurred to me. You know, I'm sure she was sorry it all happened. I am sorry it happened. Using the word sorry, I don't think there's any admission of guilt. I think that's a little exaggerated.
Annie Elise
So it really does make you wonder, right? Are these people just deep in denial because they cannot reconcile the fact that Sarah could be guilty of what she's being accused of? Or is it possible that they're picking up on something valid, maybe some cracks in the investigation that haven't been fully addressed yet? I mean, at this point, it's hard to say, right. But the questions, they do just continue to stack up. And I'm honestly so curious to hear your thoughts on this case, because for me, this case feels incredibly personal and very deliberate. But at the same time, there still is so much that we don't know. So it wouldn't surprise me one bit if new information comes out that just completely flips everything about this case that we thought we knew or thought we understood on its head. And I still just cannot get past the fact that there is no motive. That feels impossible, if I'm being honest. I mean, could it have really been to just get attention on TikTok, to just go viral to get social media fame? Or is there an undercurrent of hostilities, teenage angst against her parents? I mean, the whole Tick Tock thing, it does sound extreme. And what I mean by that is if she did this just to get famous on Tick Tock and social media, it sounds extreme, yes. But also, let's be honest, it wouldn't be the wildest thing that we've seen in cases like this one, Aiden Fuchi, that wasn't necessarily just to go viral and get famous when he killed Tristan Bailey, but it was a big component of it afterward. If you Remember, if you're not familiar with that case, you don't remember. But I have a whole playlist. You can go back, you can search it, Just search the podcast name in that case or search it on YouTube. But right after he was put into the police car, not even for an arrest, but for questioning with his other friend because he was the last one to see Tristan, he took to Snapchat immediately, and he kind of had this, like, smug look on his face being like, tristan, where? Yeah, I'm gonna kill you. Come out, come out, wherever you are. And like, why am I in the back of a cop car right now? Like, trying to get clout or get fame on social media? So it is something we have seen before. Is that what's happening in this case? I don't really know. As of right now, Sarah Grace's entire TikTok has been wiped. All of her videos, gone. But of course, as the saying goes, the Internet never forgets, right? People were very quick to screen grab it, record it, download it, repost it, everything before it all got deleted. And that also begs the question of when her account was deleted. Was that something that had happened at law enforcement's hands, or did she try to delete everything? Was she trying to hide something? Maybe she realized how much of the evidence against her is digital and how that never will go away. Or like I said, did somebody else take it all down? Which, if so, that would make that comment about potential more arrests even more interesting. And as a quick side note, I've seen a ton of random information floating around online about this case, about Sarah, about even her family. But a lot of that information did come from TikTok or Reddit threads. It really had zero credible sourcing. So because of that, I didn't include any of that information in this episode. But if I ever do find real evidence backing any of that information, I absolutely will cover it in a future episode or an update episode. But for right now, I just wanted to stick with what's actually been verified. So if you have been researching this case on your own and you're like, well, Annie, why don't you bring up this, this, or this? That's why. Because it's all unverified at this moment. So, yeah, I want to know what you guys think about this. Have you heard about this case before today? If you have, what have you heard about it? What information? What theories, all of that. Are you pulled into this case as much as I am? Even if you are hearing about it for the first time? Because something is telling me in my gut that we are just scratching the surface here and I am going to be keeping a very close eye on this case. So I will be back and I will be updating you again very soon. If you're not following the podcast yet, take a quick second. Whatever app you are listening on or if you're watching on YouTube, subscribe on YouTube, follow the podcast on the app. You can do so for free. That way if there is a huge update in this case or breaking news and I post an update, you'll get notified. You will not miss it. That is it for today's episode of Serial Less Ly. I will be back with you on Thursday with headline highlights where we are breaking down everything happening this week in the true crime world. But other than that, guys, just be nice, don't kill people, definitely don't do anything questionable for tick tock clout and just be a good human. All right? All right. I'll talk with you guys again very soon. Until the next one, stay safe. Bye.
Serialously with Annie Elise - Episode 300 Summary
Title: 300: 17 Year Old Girl Murdered Parents Then Begged TikTok for Help?! | Sarah Grace Patrick
Release Date: July 21, 2025
Host: Annie Elise
Produced By: 10 to LIFE & Audioboom Studios
In this compelling episode of Serialously with Annie Elise, host Annie delves deep into the baffling case of Sarah Grace Patrick, a 17-year-old girl accused of brutally murdering her parents, Kristen and James Brock. This case has captivated the true-crime community, not only due to the grisly nature of the crime but also because of the perplexing circumstances surrounding it.
Annie Elise opens the episode by presenting the shocking news of the double homicide in Carrollton, Georgia. She sets the stage with the tragic event:
Annie Elise [01:32]: "This is the case of Sarah Grace Patrick and how she is a teenage girl who almost literally got away with a double murder."
Sarah Grace Patrick, along with her younger sister (reportedly five or six years old), discovered their parents deceased in their bed. The scene was described as a "brutal double homicide," leaving the community and investigators searching for answers.
On the morning of February 20, 2025, a 911 call was made by Sarah Grace, who was distressed over her sister finding their parents shot multiple times. Investigators quickly ruled out a murder-suicide, given the nature of the injuries and lack of evidence pointing to such a scenario.
Family Member [00:50]: "For some reason they wanted them dead and I want to know why."
Despite Kristen and James being well-loved, active in their church, and having no known enemies, the motive remained elusive. The initial theories—ranging from a home invasion to a crime of opportunity—fell apart due to the lack of forced entry, missing items, or signs of a struggle.
Several inconsistencies raised suspicion among investigators:
Absence of Gunshot Sounds: Sarah Grace claimed she did not hear any gunshots despite both parents being shot multiple times.
Annie Elise [13:15]: "Sarah Grace told the investigators that she did not hear any gunshots, not one. And they were both shot multiple times."
Unusual Sound Reported: A family friend mentioned that Sarah heard James's LVAD machine stop working—a soft sound, unlike gunshots.
Family Friend [14:10]: "She did hear her stepdad, James LVAD machine stop working."
These anomalies prompted detectives to consider that Sarah Grace might be withholding information or involved in the crime.
After the tragedy, Sarah Grace actively used TikTok to seek help and comfort, posting videos pleading for information about her parents' deaths. Her engagement with large TikTok creators for coverage further intrigued investigators.
Annie Elise [25:50]: "Sarah Grace was reaching out to big TikTok creators, asking them to cover her mom and her stepdad's case."
Investigators interpreted her social media activity as possible attempts to deflect suspicion or seek attention, leading them to scrutinize her more closely.
On July 8, 2025, Sarah Grace turned herself in, accompanied by her biological father. The official announcement confirmed her arrest, charging her with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
Law Enforcement Official [24:44]: "Kristen 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."
The possibility of further arrests was hinted at, suggesting that Sarah might not have acted alone.
Sarah Grace’s family members expressed profound shock and disbelief at her arrest, maintaining their belief in her innocence despite the mounting evidence.
Grandfather Dennis Nolan [49:52]: "No. No. I think to sum it up, really, the detectives, the best they could tell me was the evidence says that she's the only one who could possibly have done it."
Her grandfather emphasized that no concrete evidence had been shared, and he remains skeptical of her guilt.
The case leaves numerous questions unanswered:
Motive: Why would Sarah Grace kill her parents? Was it for attention, as some speculate about her TikTok activity, or was there underlying family conflict?
Annie Elise [53:40]: "Could it have really been to just get attention on TikTok, to just go viral to get social media fame?"
Murder Weapon: No gun has been confirmed to be recovered, raising doubts about the feasibility of a 17-year-old orchestrating the murders without leaving a trace.
Annie Elise [32:30]: "There is just the total lack of about the murder weapon. They know Kristen and James were shot, but there's been no confirmation of whether a gun was ever recovered."
Involvement of Others: Law enforcement hinted at the possibility of additional individuals being involved, though details remain scarce.
Law Enforcement Official [46:03]: "We are looking at a couple of different aspects that someone could have been involved or had knowledge."
Annie suggests that as the investigation progresses, more information might emerge, potentially changing the narrative entirely.
Annie emphasizes the unsettling nature of the case, highlighting the absence of a clear motive and the unusual behavior exhibited by Sarah Grace. She invites listeners to share their thoughts and theories, acknowledging that the truth remains elusive and is still being uncovered.
Annie Elise [56:00]: "Nothing makes sense. And as of right now, there is no known motive. Investigators at least haven't shared one."
Annie promises to continue monitoring the situation, indicating that future episodes will provide updates as more information becomes available.
Conclusion
Episode 300 of Serialously with Annie Elise meticulously unravels the perplexing case of Sarah Grace Patrick, presenting both the facts and the lingering mysteries that surround this double homicide. Through detailed analysis and thoughtful questioning, Annie invites listeners to engage with one of the most baffling true-crime stories of recent times.
