This is the poignant moment when a teenager delivered an emotional funeral eulogy for her murdered mother and stepfather, only to become the main suspect in their deaths later on.

Seventeen-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick is now charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault related to the deaths of Kristin Brock, 41, and James Brock, 45.

A chilling video captures Patrick wearing a light blue dress as she addresses mourners from the lectern at Catalyst Church in Carollton, Georgia.

She said: “I just wanted to say goodbye to my mom and James since we never got the chance to.”

Patrick called her mother a “beautiful kind soul” and told mourners she’d always be her “sunshine”.

Now, the same speech that drew tears from the crowd is drawing scrutiny from law enforcement.

Carroll County Sherriff’s spokesperson Ashley Hulsey told NewsNation: “It seemed odd. 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.”

Patrick was 16 at the time of the February 20 murders.

She reportedly called 911 after her half-sister, aged five, discovered the couple’s bodies inside their Carrollton home, west of Atlanta.

Both had been shot multiple times.

Police say there were no signs of forced entry and nothing appeared stolen.

In the weeks following the murders, Patrick posted emotional tributes to her parents on social media.

She even shared a TikTok montage, saying she’d “always think about how much I needed them”, NBC reports.

“From the very moment the 911 call was received, a relentless investigation began,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

That probe eventually zeroed in on Patrick’s so-called “digital footprint”.

“When you want to post your life online, it becomes fair game,” Hulsey said.

Family members say they grew uneasy with Patrick’s behaviour, especially at the funeral.

James Brock’s niece, Krysten Dowda, claims that Patrick’s online statements changed over time and that she “did a crying voice but never shed a single tear”.

She told the Daily Mail: “She fake cried at the funeral.

“The main thing… how do you not hear multiple gunshots in a small house?”

The niece also claimed she immediately saved a video of the eulogy, adding: “I knew one day everyone would get to see this for what it was.”

In the video, Patrick addressed the congregation with what appeared to be trembling sincerity.

“Your heart will be finally healed in heaven,” she said of her stepfather.

“Although that gives me so much comfort, your life was not supposed to end there.”

While Dowda has publicly condemned Patrick, her grandfather – Kristin Brock’s dad – is standing behind her.

“She swears her innocence,” Dennis Nolan told NewsNation.

“If they had something concrete, they would have arrested her a whole lot sooner.”

Patrick’s dad, Doniel Patrick, was by her side when she surrendered this week and has since posted online: “I’ll always be in your corner…

“You were sent here with purpose, wrapped in grace and born to shine in ways only your soul knows how.”

Authorities say they’re still searching for a motive.

Hulsey described the case as active and ongoing, warning that additional arrests could still be made.

The teen is being charged as an adult and is currently represented by a public defender.

“She’s 17. She’s kind of been out on her own. She’s lived with different family members and moved all over the place,” Hulsey said.

“We don’t know what goes through the mind of a child who wants to harm their parents.”
