Georgia teen charged with murder of mother, stepfather—gave ‘fake crying’ eulogy at their funeral

Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, has been accused of shooting to death Kristin Brock, 41, and her husband James Brock, 45, at their home in Carrollton, Georgia, on February 20. The high school teen voluntarily turned herself in after a warrant was issued for her arrest. She has been charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault, the Augusta Chronicle reported.

"Mountains of physical and digital evidence" led to Sarah being charged, including her eulogy at the funeral and several social media posts she made about their deaths, according to authorities.

Krysten Dowda, 34, James's niece, told Daily Mail that she questioned if Patrick could be the killer after she allegedly tried recruiting a true crime TikTok influencer to investigate their murders and continued to change her story about the events that occurred on the day of the killing.

But it was Patrick's eulogy that was the nail in the coffin, according to Dowda, who said she felt compelled to save a video of her speech that was full of "fake crying." Dowda described the feeling of "being at a funeral to say goodbye to someone you loved and thinking to yourself, 'Am I actually witnessing the person that murdered them, standing up here in front of everyone and fake crying about them?'"

"Does anyone else see this person doing a crying voice but never shed a single tear?" she said, adding that she immediately saved the video someone shared of the eulogy because, "I knew one day everyone would get to see this for what it was."

In the footage, Patrick begins to speak and then has a voice crack. She appears nervous and asks the funeral attendees to bear with her as she stutters through the speech. "I just wanted to say goodbye to my mom and James since we never got the chance to," she said. "I was so used to you guys always being here that I...never would have thought that y'all would not be here, and I didn't have a single clue about how much I needed y'all until now."

Dowda questioned if others in the audience could see that Patrick was fake crying, describing the teen as a "monster in a dress."

Law and Crime reported that Patrick's TikTok account, which is no longer available, was flooded with tributes to Kristin and Brock shortly after their deaths, which included requests for prayers and sympathy. Additionally, true crime TikToker @AllegedlyReportedly told the outlet that Patrick allegedly reached out to her on June 3 to cover the murder of her mother and stepfather, asking her to "Look up the Brock case."

Patrick is being held in custody without bail and will be tried as an adult, authorities said.
