Sarah Patrick, Prime Suspect in Murder
During a livestreamed July 8 press conference, Caroll County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Ashley Hulsey announced that Patrick was being charged as an adult in the murder case. Deputies responded to the 1500 block of Carrollton Tyus Road, where they discovered Kristin and James’s bodies, both dead from gunshot wounds.
They lived in Carrollton, approximately 45 miles west of Atlanta, and not too far from the Alabama state line. The victims had lived in the residence with Sarah Patrick and a younger sister. The younger sister was at home at the time of the murders, according to investigators. Patrick called 911 after her sister found the victims’ bodies at their home on that tragic day.
Lead Investigator TJ Repetto said, “From the moment the 911 call came in, this case became our priority. It took time, resources, and unwavering commitment to reach this point.” The murders shocked the community, and the investigation involved private forensic laboratories, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab, and the FBI. Hulsey said, in regards to the motive that is currently unclear, “We don’t know what goes through the
The teen was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault in connection with the killings, after an intense investigation by local, state, and federal agencies. Hulsey said to reporters that a motive has not yet been identified in the murder case. Sarah Patrick eventually turned herself in as a suspect in the brutal double murder. According to Hulsey, Patrick’s biological father brought her to the sheriff’s office to turn herself in to the authorities after finding out that there was a warrant for the teen’s arrest.
Hulsey said, “Her family has been very cooperative. I can’t imagine what they are going through.” The case is still under investigation. The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office posted on their Facebook page, “Our prayers remain with the families of James and Kristin Brock, and especially with their young daughter who was at home during this horrific crime. We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the community that rallied for justice and never gave up hope.”
Final Thoughts
Hulsey said, “We don’t know what goes through the mind of a child who wants to harm their parents.” The case remains ongoing and is under investigation. Hulsey also told reporters that there is a “mountain of evidence” implicating Sarah Patrick in the double murder. She said, “We feel confident that she is responsible for their murders, but like I said, it is an active and ongoing investigation, and it’s very possible that others are involved as well.” In other news, Justin Bieber released in first album in four years.
