Description


The Trial of Sarah Grace Patrick follows a homicide case as it unfolds—in real time, inside the courtroom.



On February 20, 2025, Kristin Brock and James Brock were found shot to death in their Carrollton, Georgia home. Their teenage daughter, Sarah Grace Patrick, was inside the house. So was her five-year-old half-sister, who discovered the bodies. Sarah called 911 shortly afterward.



As this podcast launches, the trial is beginning.



Prosecutors have repeatedly claimed there are “mountains of physical and digital evidence,” gathered with assistance from the FBI and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Yet as opening statements approach, no murder weapon has been recovered, no physical evidence tying Sarah to the shootings has been publicly presented, and the defense says full discovery was still outstanding leading into trial.



This podcast tracks what actually happens when rhetoric meets evidence.



Each episode breaks down the testimony, exhibits, and legal arguments presented in court—what’s admitted, what’s excluded, and what the jury is allowed to hear. We examine the crime scene details, the family’s volatile history, the interrogation of a minor, and the prosecution’s reliance on social media behavior and so-called “digital footprints.” We also analyze defense challenges, constitutional issues, witness credibility, and the role of a very young child witness in a case with enormous emotional weight.



Most importantly, we separate proof from perception—and courtroom facts from online speculation.



This is not a podcast about viral clips or hot takes. It’s about evidence, procedure, and the real-world consequences of trying a case in the public eye while a jury listens.



Two people are dead. A family is destroyed. And a teenager is on trial for her life.



If Sarah Grace Patrick is guilty, the jury will have to see clear proof.

 If she isn’t, the danger of a conviction built on behavior, assumptions, and social media optics is real.



The Trial of Sarah Grace Patrick follows the case day by day, as the evidence is finally revealed and tested—inside the courtroom, where the verdict will be decided.



New episodes throughout the trial.

Everything we covered this week on the Sarah Grace Patrick case — the FBI analysis, the family history, and the questions that need answers before January 5th.Sarah Grace Patrick was sixteen when her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock were found shot dead in their Carroll County, Georgia bedroom. Her five-year-old sister found them. For five months, Sarah grieved publicly — posting TikToks, reaching out to true crime creators, telling one her story "would be a really big hit," and delivering an emotional eulogy. Then investigators arrested her for double murder.Prosecutors promised mountains of evidence. Here's what's public: social media posts, DMs to influencers, and a eulogy the sheriff's office considered odd. No murder weapon confirmed. No motive released. Defense counsel says discovery remains incomplete weeks before trial.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joined us to analyze what the known evidence reveals — and to examine a family history the mainstream coverage has largely missed. Court records show an eleven-year-old Sarah told police she felt unsafe in her mother's home. Custody filings include drug allegations. James Brock was on meth probation when he married Kristin — the same woman he once accused of trying to run him over with a car. Sarah's brother sued for emancipation from both parents.Sarah's maternal grandfather — Kristin's father — believes she's innocent. The Brock family packed the courtroom demanding no bond. Friends arrived wearing "I Stand with Sarah" shirts. The judge sided with prosecutors. The state's key witness is a six-year-old girl who may be forced to testify against her own sister. Is Sarah a calculated killer who performed grief online for months? Or is she a traumatized kid being judged by people who don't understand how her generation processes pain?#SarahGracePatrick #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #CarrollCounty #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBI #Georgia #MurderTrial #WeekInReview #JusticeForSarahJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sarah Grace Patrick's murder trial has been delayed seven months. The January 5th, 2026 trial date has been pushed to August 3rd, 2026 after prosecutors told Judge Dustin Hightower they would need time to review a defense neuropsychologist's evaluation and potentially hire their own expert.This video breaks down exactly what happened in the January 5th hearing and what it means for the case going forward.Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, is charged as an adult with two counts of murder in the February 2025 shooting deaths of her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock in Carroll County, Georgia. The couple was found shot in their bed. Their young daughter discovered the bodies. Sarah called 911.Key points from the delay:The defense had been working with a forensic neuropsychologist since August 2025. They had a draft report ready with the final version expected within days. The prosecution said they needed time to review it and possibly prepare a rebuttal. Judge Hightower — who had told the state back in December to let him know if they needed a continuance — granted the delay but said there would be "slim to none" chance of another delay past August.This came after the defense's own earlier motion for continuance was denied. Attorney LaToya Williams had argued incomplete discovery. The court rejected that request.Sarah's grandfather Dennis Nolan continues to maintain her innocence. He says no physical evidence ties her to the murders and no murder weapon has been produced. Sarah has been held without bond since her arrest in July 2025.We cover the hearing, the evidence questions, and what happens between now and August.#SarahGracePatrick #CarrollCountyGeorgia #TrialUpdate #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #MurderCase #August2026 #JudgeDustinHightower #LaToyaWilliams #DennisNolanJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Defense attorney Bob Motta joins us to analyze the postponement of Sarah Grace Patrick's murder trial and what questions remain about the prosecution's evidence.Sarah Grace Patrick's trial was scheduled to begin January 5th, 2026 in Carroll County, Georgia. She is charged as an adult with two counts of murder in the February 2025 shooting deaths of her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock. The couple was found shot in their bed. Their young daughter discovered the bodies. Sarah called 911.The trial has been pushed to August 3rd, 2026 after prosecutors told Judge Dustin Hightower they would need time to review a defense neuropsychologist's report and potentially hire their own expert to prepare a rebuttal. The defense had been working with their forensic neuropsychologist since August 2025 and had a draft report ready.Bob Motta breaks down what this delay signals from a legal perspective. Why would a prosecution claiming "mountains of evidence" need seven additional months? What does it mean that the defense's earlier continuance request was denied but the state's need for time was granted? How should we interpret the prosecution's immediate move to prepare a rebuttal to an expert report they haven't fully reviewed?Motta also addresses the evidence that has — and hasn't — been made public. Sarah's grandfather Dennis Nolan has maintained there is no physical evidence tying her to the murders and no weapon has been produced. The prosecution has made claims about cameras being disabled, but those allegations remain unproven.We discuss how this case might unfold between now and the August trial date and what both sides need to do to prepare.#SarahGracePatrick #BobMotta #TrialDelay #CarrollCountyGeorgia #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #MurderTrial #DefenseAttorney #LegalAnalysis #August2026Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The trial was supposed to start today. It has moved to August.Seventeen-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick stands accused of murdering her mother Kristin and stepfather James Brock while they slept in their Carroll County, Georgia home. Her five-year-old sister found the bodies. Sarah made the 911 call. For five months after the killings, she posted emotional TikToks, reached out to true crime creators asking them to cover the case, and delivered a eulogy at the funeral that investigators would later call "odd." Then came the arrest in July, with law enforcement citing "mountains of physical and digital evidence."But here's what hasn't been disclosed: the murder weapon. The motive. Any physical evidence placing Sarah at the scene of the crime. What has been released publicly? TikTok posts. DMs. Comments on true crime content. A eulogy that rubbed people the wrong way. Her own grandfather—the man who lost his daughter Kristin in this—says nothing he's seen puts the gun in Sarah's hand.Court documents reveal James Brock was on probation for drug offenses involving methamphetamine. In 2019, an eleven-year-old Sarah told police she felt unsafe due to drug use in the home. In 2022, James accused Kristin of trying to run him over with a car—then dropped the charges and married her. The defense has retained a forensic neuropsychologist who evaluated Sarah multiple times. That report is expected after Christmas. And the prosecution's key witness? The little sister, now six years old.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins me to break down what this case actually rests on—and whether "mountains of evidence" means anything when none of it has been shown.#SarahGracePatrick #SarahGracePatrickTrial #CarrollCountyMurder #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #GeorgiaMurderTrial #TrueCrime #FBIAgent #JenniferCoffindaffer #MurderCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everything you need to know about the Sarah Grace Patrick case before the January 2026 trial. On February 20th, 2025, Kristin Brock and James Brock were found shot to death in their Carroll County, Georgia home. Kristin's daughter — sixteen-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick — called 911 after her five-year-old half-sister discovered the bodies. Five months later, Sarah was arrested and charged with both murders. This video covers the complete case: the crime scene with no forced entry and no weapon recovered, the five months of TikTok posts and true crime outreach that drew suspicion, the family's documented history of custody battles and drug allegations, the 2022 incident where James accused Kristin of attempted murder before marrying her, and the prosecution's claim of "mountains of evidence" against a defense that says they're still waiting on discovery. We examine what investigators have actually disclosed versus what they've only claimed. We look at the bond hearing where supporters wore "I Stand with Sarah" shirts while the Brock family pleaded to keep her jailed. We break down the legal questions around a potential interrogation of a minor without parental consent, and what it means that a six-year-old may be the key witness. Sarah Grace Patrick maintains her innocence. Her grandfather believes her. The prosecution is confident. The trial starts January 5th. This is everything publicly known about the case — and the questions that remain unanswered. #SarahGracePatrick #SarahGrace #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #CarrollCounty #GeorgiaMurder #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #CourtTV #FullCaseBreakdown Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ ​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A five-year-old finds her parents shot dead in their bed. Her teenage sister calls 911. For the next five months, that teenager — Sarah Grace Patrick — posts crying videos on TikTok, messages true crime creators begging for coverage, and tells one of them the story "would be a really big hit." Then police charge her with double murder. Prosecutors say they've got mountains of evidence. So where is it? No murder weapon has been confirmed recovered. No motive has been disclosed. The defense says they're weeks from trial and still waiting on full discovery. What's actually been released to the public? Her TikTok posts. Her DMs. A eulogy the sheriff's office called "odd" because she apologized at the end. Meanwhile, there's a family history nobody's examining closely enough. Court documents show an eleven-year-old Sarah telling police she felt unsafe in her mother's home. Drug allegations against both her mother and stepfather. A 2022 police report where the stepfather accused the mother of trying to run him over with a car — with a child in the backseat. He dropped the charges. They got married a year later. Sarah's grandfather — the father of the woman who was killed — insists his granddaughter is innocent. The Brock family showed up to the bond hearing terrified, saying they fear for their lives. Friends packed the courtroom wearing "I Stand with Sarah" shirts. The judge denied bond and called the little sister a key witness. She's six years old. And she may have to testify against her own sister in a murder trial. Is this a cold-blooded killer who played victim for five months on social media? Or a teenager being convicted in the court of public opinion because adults don't understand how Gen Z grieves? Trial starts January 5th. #SarahGracePatrick #TrueCrime #CarrollCounty #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #MurderTrial #TikTokMurder #Georgia #CourtTV #JusticeForVictims Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ ​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In February 2025, Kristin and James Brock were found shot to death in their bed in Carroll County, Georgia. Their five-year-old daughter discovered the bodies. Their teenage daughter, Sarah Grace Patrick, called 911. For months, Sarah posted tearful TikToks mourning her parents, gave an emotional eulogy at their funeral, and reached out to true crime influencers asking them to cover the case. She commented on videos speculating about who the killer might be. She allegedly wrote that the media coverage "would be a really big hit." Then investigators arrested her for both murders. Sarah Grace Patrick was sixteen when her mother and stepfather were killed. She's now seventeen, charged as an adult with two counts of murder, two counts of malice murder, and multiple weapons charges. She's being held without bond in the Carroll County Jail, awaiting trial set for January 2026. But this case goes deeper than a teenager's social media activity. Years before the killings, Sarah was caught in a bitter custody battle between her biological parents. At eleven years old, she told police she felt unsafe in her mother's home and begged a court to let her live with her father. Drug allegations. A dropped assault accusation. A blended family with a complicated history. Now the community is divided. Supporters wearing "I Stand with Sarah" shirts packed the courtroom at her bond hearing. The victims' family begged the judge to keep her locked up, fearing for their own safety. Her grandfather insists she's innocent. Investigators say they have "mountains of evidence." No motive has been disclosed. The murder weapon was never found. And the youngest victim in this case — the six-year-old who found her parents' bodies — may have to testify against her own sister. #SarahGracePatrick #TrueCrime #CarrollCounty #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #GeorgiaCrime #TikTokMurder #CourtTV #MurderTrial #JusticeForKristinAndJames Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ ​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
