A teenager known for her presence on TikTok, who is accused of killing her mother and stepfather, is reportedly feeling terrified while being detained. Meanwhile, her relatives and friends stand by her, defending the heartfelt speech she gave at their funeral, which led to her being charged by police.

Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, is the main suspect following the deaths of Kristin and James Brock.

The couple was fatally shot while asleep in Carrollton, to the west of Atlanta, on February 20, 2025. Tragically, the bodies were found by Patrick’s six-year-old sister.

The teen has been charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault in connection with the deaths.

She posted videos and messages on social media, appearing to be distraught over their deaths.

In one of Patrick’s TikTok videos, she shares, “They have no idea, but in a year, my 5-year-old sister and I would discover them unjustly killed in our home – and they won’t be there to see me graduate high school, walk down the aisle, or even say goodbye.” (sic)

She captioned the video, “I miss you guys, save a seat for me in heaven.”

Patrick also gave a heartfelt speech at their funeral that police felt was suspicious.

The 17-year-old told mourners, “I’m sorry” at the end of the eulogy, a moment which has raised eyebrows.

Patrick has now emerged as the prime suspect in the case, with Carroll County sheriffs claiming they have “mountains of evidence” against the teen.

She reportedly learned police had a warrant for her arrest and went into the station with her father, who is supporting her.

Family friend Carrie Jensen, who has known Patrick for years, is raising money for her legal fees.

A public Facebook group with the name “I stand with Sarah Grace Patrick” also now has more than 300 members.

Carrie told The U.S. Sun this week, “She has a lot of people who are standing up for her. She’s extremely scared and maintaining her innocence.

“I have known Sarah and her family since she was in Middle School. She and my daughter are best friends.

“She was with us 4th of July weekend.”

Jensen also wrote on Facebook, “Sarah Grace did not just ‘turn herself in’ she was notified that she had warrants for her arrest and did exactly what she was told to do.

“Her father walked his daughter into that police station not knowing what lied ahead for his child.

“She never confessed to anything. She was working with the detectives to find the people who murdered her mom and stepdad. She trusted them because that is who she is!

“Her apology at the funeral service was normal she would apologize over everything. Even if it wasn’t her fault.

“She is very much just a child. No matter what!

“No one knows her background, her story or what she has gone through.”

Carrie claims she recently drove more than an hour but was told her visitation had been taken away, along with her phone privileges.

She added, “This is unfair and unjust!”

Dad Doniel Patrick’s full statement on daughter’s arrest

I just want to go on the record and say I know everybody is talking.

Many people were talking about things that they don’t even know. They are just talking and writing about stuff that is completely false.

Taking pictures of me leaving church to go to visit my daughter. If you have time to follow me around walk up to me talk to me I will talk to you.

My daughter is 100% innocent. If you wanna talk to anybody about me and my daughter’s relationship come straight to me. I’m not hiding.

I’m going to work and doing all the normal things that I have to do to support my son. Nobody knows my pain, but I choose to deal with it the way that I have to.

I don’t want all of attention like everybody else. February 21 I had to come home and tell my son that his mother and his stepfather were dead.

It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Until I had to take my daughter to the sheriff’s office, I did not turn her in.

She voluntarily went there because of the warrants.. She has nothing to hide. I’m not the type of person that gets on social media.

I don’t even pay attention to most of it. The only social media I have is Facebook and it’s been ruined by this entire situation.

People are quick to judge when they don’t even have any info. I have as much info as everybody else so where are you getting your info from?

If it’s the media then you all should know how the media portrays everything. It’s not about the truth. It’s about viewership they will say anything.

Some of the stuff that I have seen and some of the media outlets have reported good stuff.

A lot of of them have reported bad stuff without any facts just assumptions and talking to people that don’t know nothing.

My heart goes out to the Brock family and Kristin’s. I will speak when it’s time. Right now, I am trying to focus on my daughter, my children.

Not what everybody else is focusing on believe me I’m living it. I don’t have to see it. To everybody out there that has kids to everybody out there that’s paying attention.

God bless each and everyone of you. I hope that you never have to go through an experience like this.. as Pastor Ben said this Sunday I’m ready bring it on goliath.

After setting up a GoFundMe account to raise funds for Patrick’s legal fight, the page is no longer live.

Jensen explained, “A new donation link will be posted soon. I am working with a lawyer friend of mine to make sure we follow all the rules and it not be taken down.”

Patrick’s father, Doniel, took to Facebook to defend his daughter after she made national headlines.

“Many people were talking about things that they don’t even know,” the dad fumed.

“They are just talking and writing about stuff that is completely false.”

Doniel went on to claim that Patrick is “100% innocent” and encouraged any doubters to speak about the incident with him in person.

Court documents seen by DailyMail.com give an insight into Patrick’s troubled childhood, which suggests her mom and stepdad were often taking drugs.

Her dad filed for divorce from his wife, Kristin, in 2018 after a 10-year marriage, and he demanded joint legal custody of Patrick and her brother, Donnie, with “primary physical custody of the parties’ minor child” and that any visits between his estranged wife and the children be supervised due to her alleged addiction issues.

“The mother has unrehabilitated substance abuse issues and both she and her boyfriend fail to adequately provide a suitable drug-free environment for minor children,” court docs read.

They eventually agreed on joint legal custody, with primary physical custody given to Kristin, and Doniel seeing them on alternate weekends and holidays.

Previously, the Brocks’ loved ones offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

“This is so horrendous,” Kristin’s father Dennis Nolan told Atlanta News First back at the time.

“You just can’t imagine that someone would come in and just take the life of two good people.”

The deceased couple were popular in their local church community.

Catalyst Church member Tasha Meza told Fox 5 Atlanta: “Kristin was bubbly and fun and she loved hugs.

“She never met a stranger. And James, he was a comical kind of guy. He would always crack jokes and make you laugh.”

Patrick turned herself in earlier in July after police issued the warrant for her arrest following a months-long investigation.

She is expected to be tried as an adult on the murder charges.

The case is still an open investigation, and more arrests and charges are still possible, officials have said.

Authorities are still searching for a motive for the murders.
