She was the kind of teenage girl who loved makeup tutorials, danced with friends, and posted light-hearted videos
0:06
on Tik Tok. But then, in the middle of an ordinary weekday night, an unimaginable tragedy struck when her
0:13
parents were suddenly found murdered in their bed. With a story this awful, the
0:18
world grieved alongside this newly orphaned girl, especially when she decided to take to Tik Tok to share her
0:25
heartbreak. But behind the facade of this grief struck teenager, something much more sinister was at play. And as
0:32
the weeks passed by, a darker question slowly began to creep in. So were these
0:38
the genuine cries of a daughter in mourning, or was this the carefully staged performance of someone with
0:44
something to hide? Welcome, or welcome back to Coffee House Crime, folks. My name is Adrien and
0:50
today we're diving into the ongoing and controversial case of Sarah Grace Patrick. A story that has left many
0:57
people divided. And I know this story's been getting a lot of coverage recently, but today we'll be drawing on everything
1:02
we know about the case so far. Probably with some info that you've never heard of before. By the way, if you aren't
1:08
subscribed yet, then please consider doing so. Not only do I post up to twice a week here, but you'll be joining 2.1
1:14
million other people, and Nero would really appreciate it. And now with all of that out the way, please grab
1:20
yourself a coffee and let's caffeinate while we investigate. This is the case of Sarah Grace Patrick.
1:35
Welcome to Georgia, folks. In today's story, we're traveling to the small city of Carlton, which sits around 75 km or
1:43
45 mi west of Atlanta. Now, Georgia is often regarded as part of the Deep South
1:49
and home to more than 11 million people. Historically, the state thrived on agriculture. However, in more recent
1:56
decades, huge companies like Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, and Home Depot have all
2:01
set up their headquarters in Atlanta. This, of course, brings much needed wealth into the region. And sadly, with
2:09
wealth inevitably comes greed. From the 1980s right through to the early 2000s,
2:15
Atlanta consistently ranked among the top five most crimeridden cities in the
2:20
entire of the United States. Now, thankfully, in the years that followed, a massive turnup in investment would
2:26
actually lead to a huge turnaround. And by the year 2015, Atlanta had slipped
2:32
all the way down to 19th place on that list, which sounds like great progress, and in many respects it is. However,
2:39
when you turn the lens onto homicide, the story unfortunately changes quite dramatically. In fact, over the past 15
2:47
years alone, Atlanta's homicide rate has almost tripled. So, while murder is
2:52
still relatively quite rare here, when police received a phone call at 7:15 in the morning on February the 20th, 2025,
3:00
they quite naturally took it very seriously. The voice on the other end of the line was a young girl who was only
3:07
barely able to form her words through tears, desperately fighting to describe what was going on inside her family's
3:14
home. The caller was 16-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick. And it turns out that
3:19
only moments earlier, her 5-year-old sister, Jaye, had run to her bedroom after making a horrifying discovery. And
3:27
that's because after waking up just a little bit earlier, she had walked into her parents' bedroom to find both of
3:33
them lying unresponsive in their bed. When officers arrived, they took both Sarah and Jay, who are now in great
3:39
distress, away for professional care. Meanwhile, police stepped inside to investigate. Now, at first glance,
3:46
nothing seemed out of place. In fact, the entire home seemed to be spotless, and not only were there no signs of
3:52
forced entry, but nothing seemed to be damaged either. But by the time officers reached upstairs, well, that painted a
3:59
very different picture. And although the children's bedrooms were tidy, the master bedroom held some very dark
4:06
secrets. After stepping through the doorway and then peering into the bed, officers found both Kristen and James
4:12
cold to the touch. And although at first glance it looked as if they were merely just sleeping, that is when they looked
4:19
closer. The pillows and bed sheets were just covered in blood and both adults seem to have injuries with what appeared
4:25
to be multiple gunshot wounds. Now, what is quite interesting here is that police were almost immediately able to
4:31
determine that due to the angles of the projectiles, these injuries were not self-inflicted. This, of course, meaning
4:37
that neither of the two were responsible for either of their deaths. Unfortunately, both Kristen and James
4:43
were pronounced dead at the scene, and officers were also able to determine that due to the state of their bodies,
4:48
they had likely died a few hours prior, well before the girls woke up from their sleep. Oh, and just a quick side note
4:55
here for clarity, but the son was actually away from the family that night, meaning there were only four people in the property at the time. And
5:01
now with three newly orphaned children and two adults murdered in their own bed, police now had the grim task of
5:08
trying to figure out what precisely happened.
5:14
After taking an initial look at the crime scene, detectives realized that the house itself told a very curious
5:20
story. Every room, apart from the master bedroom, was immaculate as always. The
5:25
home was clean, tidy, and nothing appeared to be out of place. And not only were there no signs of a struggle
5:32
or any forced entry, but nothing from the property had been stolen either. With this in mind, it basically ruled
5:39
out any sort of possibility of a robbery gone wrong. And why in that scenario
5:44
would they creep upstairs only to murder a sleeping couple before then failing to ransack the house? None of this made any
5:52
sense to police officers. And to be honest, it didn't to me either. Detectives now believed that whoever had
5:58
pulled the trigger that night had the sole intention to murder both Kristen and James. But to make matters even more
6:05
confusing, another crucial detail quickly became apparent. No murder weapon was ever found at the crime
6:11
scene, which only made the investigation even more difficult to solve. As you can
6:17
see here from Google Maps, the Nolan family lived in a rural and heavily wooded area. Their neighbors were far
6:24
and few between, which only made it even more unlikely that surveillance footage recovered from their properties could
6:31
help. In the days that followed, police combed the property, searching for the faintest trace of forensic evidence.
6:38
Meanwhile, the extended family announced a $5,000 reward for anyone with any
6:43
information that could help lead to an arrest. But before we go any further in this story, it is worth asking, who
6:50
precisely were the Nolan family? Did the family have any enemies? And if not,
6:56
were they targeted by anyone from the outside? Well, to begin with, the family included both parents, Christian and
7:02
James Brock, and their three children, including 16-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick, her younger brother, Donnie,
7:09
and her younger sister, 5-year-old Jaye. Together, they lived on a rural property
7:14
in Carlton, Georgia, surrounded by many fields and trees, and on a beautiful stretch of land. To make things just a
7:21
little more complicated, Sarah and Donnie were from Christian's first marriage to Daniel Patrick, a turbulent
7:28
relationship that sadly would end in divorce in July of 2018. And as is often
7:34
the case, custody would soon become the central battle between the two. Although both parents would fight for full
7:40
rights, the court ultimately ruled for joint custody with Christian holding primary care, while Daniel was
7:46
unfortunately left with quite the rough deal. Sadly, he was only allowed to see
7:51
them on alternate weekends and holidays, a decision that would leave him with only fleeting time with his children. It
7:58
was soon after this that Christian met James Brock. A hurricane romance followed with both of them quickly
8:04
falling in love and moving in together. Now, naturally, James stepped up into the role of stepfather, and thankfully,
8:11
he did seem to be good at it, too. And when Kristen and James later welcomed their daughter Jaye to the family, it
8:18
finally felt complete. Moving forward, the Brocks became a familiar part of their community with thanks to attending
8:24
Carolton's Catalyst Church nearby. While James was the natural joker of the group, Kristen was both bubbly, warm,
8:32
and nurturing. And from local news reports, it looks like that their children were wellliked by neighbors and
8:38
the community, too. So, as you can see on the surface, the Nolans looked like a
8:43
happy, faithdriven family from the deep south. But in truth, the reality was
8:48
actually far more complicated. It turns out that James and Kristen were both
8:54
former addicts with things getting so bad at one point that they both got in trouble with the law. Kristen had
9:00
struggled with a serious drug problem, which actually was one of the biggest reasons behind her split with Daniel.
9:07
Side note, but it's also the main reason why he fought for custody. And while little is known about Daniel himself, it
9:13
isn't difficult to understand his concern. He believed that Kristen's drug use posed a real risk to both Sarah and
9:21
Donniey's upbringing. And it turns out that court documents would also reveal that James Brock battled with the very
9:27
same demons. However, this was not the same story that the Patrick family shared. They claimed that their renewed
9:34
faith and their bond with each other had become a new way of turning the page.
9:40
They were determined to put those dark days behind them. And at least on the surface, it certainly looked like it.
9:50
But the thing is that Daniel was not actually convinced himself. And he believed that Kristen and James were
9:55
putting on this facade simply to try to keep social services away. He was quite terrified actually because his version
10:02
of reality was very different and he believed that his children were frequently exposed to both meth and weed
10:08
in the family home. And when his son Donnie showed up with a mark on his body and claimed that James had hit him with
10:14
a belt, well, that was the breaking point for him. No surprise, he went to social services that very same day and
10:20
demanded that they revisit the custody rulings. It was only 2 days before Christmas in 2019 that he filed an
10:27
emergency motion. In this document, he claimed that not only did both of his children look neglected, but they were
10:33
also behind on medical and dental care. And the thing is that he was not the only one who was sounding the alarm
10:39
because even his daughter Sarah, who was only 11 years old at the time, wrote in her own statement that she would prefer
10:46
to live with her father. Sarah would also later tell her teacher that she was actually afraid to go home. Worried for
10:52
her safety, the police then became involved and she would tell them the exact same thing. In fact, she would
10:58
even describe to them the drug packaging that she had found around the house and even the smell of math. I mean, doing
11:05
drugs as a parent is bad enough. But doing them in front of your own kids is a whole new level of neglect and
11:11
cruelty. Sarah quite obviously knew that something was wrong. But her younger brother and sister were far too young to
11:18
understand, especially Jaye. So, in a way, it was kind of up to her to sound
11:23
the alarm to teachers and officers. It really shouldn't be that way, but nobody else was going to do it. Now,
11:30
unfortunately, the courts did not grant Daniel full custody, but his emergency filing did seem to win him some time,
11:36
that being sentimental custody of 4 days over Christmas. And as more of their history came to light, things only
11:43
seemed to look worse for Kristen and James. It was in this moment that social services discovered that James already
11:50
had a record. They learned that he was arrested in 2017 for meth possession and
11:55
then sentenced to probation where he then violated it a year later with a string of other charges including
12:01
shoplifting, stolen property, weed possession, and obstructing an officer. That little crime spree would earn him
12:08
even more probation and jail time. And obviously, it was hardly the picture of a dependable stepfather. The evidence
12:15
against Kristen and James was clearly stacking up. And by October of 2020, the
12:21
courts had finally changed their arrangements. From that point onwards, both Sarah and Donnie would live with
12:27
their father during the weekdays and only see Kristen on certain weekends. And it wasn't full custody, but for
12:34
Daniel, it was a big step in the right direction. That being, in his mind, giving his children a safer and more
12:40
stable home. However, the custody fight was not the end of their issues because in December
12:47
of 2022, tragedy struck Kristen and James yet again, but in a very different
12:52
way. Sadly, James had suddenly suffered a massive heart attack and doctors also realized that he was now in advanced
12:59
heart failure. They also claimed that if he didn't have surgery immediately, he wouldn't survive. Now, thankfully, he
13:06
would survive, but that was only after surgeons installed a left ventricular assist device, which is basically a
13:12
mechanical pump that helps pump blood through the body. Now, you're going to have to trust me with this, but all of this ties back into the investigation.
13:19
The long story short is that James' pump had a monitor. A monitor that he would carry around with him at all times of
13:25
the day. If anything was out of rhythm with his heart, it would play an extremely loud alarm. And let's just say
13:31
that those preventative measures are extremely foolproof. Now, despite all of their past struggles, by early 2023,
13:39
things did genuinely appear to be improving for both Christian and James. I mean, even the once bitter
13:45
relationship between Christian and Daniel had now seemed to mellow out, believe it or not. But all three parents
13:51
were even seen together at some of the kids' events, sitting down in the same room without any issue and even chatting
13:57
casually. So, with everything going so well for the family, what happened on
14:02
the night that two of them were murdered? On the surface, Christian and James didn't seem to have any enemies
14:08
whatsoever, at least not in recent years. So, unless some ghost from their
14:13
drugfueled past came back to haunt them, then it was kind of hard to imagine anyone wanting to wish them harm. But
14:21
behind the polished family image, cracks were slowly forming. For example, maybe Kristen and James were now each other's
14:28
worst enemies. It is known that around a year before their wedding in 2022,
14:33
things did take a dark turn when James actually petitioned the court for a protective order against his very own
14:40
fianceé. James claimed that he feared for his and his daughter's safety. It was during one explosive argument that
14:47
apparently Kristen got into the family car with Jaye and Donnie still inside and then tried to run him over while he
14:54
was stood in the barn. He also claimed that apparently Kristen had been hitting him regularly, destroying property and
15:01
even threatening to kill him. He also suspected that she had swapped hard drugs for prescription abuse. However,
15:08
here is the strange part. James would later decide to drop every allegation.
15:13
And so the protective order against his fianceé never went through and within months they went ahead and even married
15:20
in December of 2023. So did Kristen change for the better or did James just
15:25
simply bury it all for the sake of the family? Even more curiously, did this have anything to do with their deaths or
15:32
is it simply just another tragic backstory? Well, what we do know based off of the bullet's trajectories is that
15:39
neither of the two were responsible. The evidence proved that neither Christian or James turned the gun on themselves
15:45
and then each other, which of course means that somebody else is responsible. But who and why? Unfortunately, the
15:53
crime scene offered no answers either. There was no DNA, no fingerprints, no
15:58
sign of forced entry, and both of their exes were accounted for that night. So,
16:03
with nothing pointing to an outsider, officers were now forced to turn their gaze inwards to the only other people in
16:10
the home. I can't believe we're talking about kids here, but Donnie was with his father that night, which of course meant
16:16
there was only two other people. There was young Jaye and 16-year-old Sarah.
16:21
And when investigators looked closer, they realized that Sarah's story did not seem to add up.
16:29
As days turned into weeks with no arrest whatsoever, the community rallied together around these three children.
16:35
However, things were happening in the background and in public, especially with hello, the true crime community,
16:42
people started to look closer into the case. And let's just say that things were not quite adding up for Sarah. Like
16:49
many other children her age, Sarah was chronically online and basically had profiles absolutely everywhere. She was
16:55
on Instagram, on Facebook, but her favorite platform by far was Tik Tok. And let's just say that in the weeks
17:02
following her parents' murders, she would begin to post a lot of things on that platform. Now, to be fair to her,
17:09
there is no rulebook with how to process grief. We all do that very differently, and I can imagine that losing your
17:15
parents this suddenly would be absolutely awful. However, given the circumstances, some of Sarah's online
17:22
activity would be classed as weird to most people. And it wasn't long before viewers and even some members of her own
17:29
family started to raise questions. Now, before we look at Tik Tok, let's rewind
17:34
to her first Facebook post. Since Sarah's phone had been taken by police as evidence, she actually logged into
17:40
her dad's account to write this message only 4 days after the murders. In this post, she described being woken up by
17:48
her sister screaming and then discovering her parents after they had been shot. She also claimed that some of
17:54
the details in the news were not actually accurate, although she didn't specify which parts. She also wrote that
18:00
she was praying for the person who had killed her parents and thanked her church for keeping her family in their
18:06
prayers. A few weeks later, a funeral service was held at Catalyst Church.
18:11
Sarah stood before hundreds of people with a eulogy with the entire moment being captured on video.
18:17
We can't always choose the music that life plays for us, but you can choose how we dance to it.
18:23
And you can see that towards the end. And while still crying, she weakly said, "I'm sorry."
18:29
Jamie and Mama would have thanked you, too. I love you guys, and so do I. And
18:34
so do I. I'm sorry. What she meant by that apology is not
18:39
clear. Perhaps she felt embarrassed for breaking down in front of everyone. Or maybe it was something deeper. Whatever
18:46
the reason, it did seem to stick in people's minds. And trust me, it would come back later as questions about Sarah
18:53
would only grow louder. In the weeks that followed, Sarah would continue to post on social media, but mostly on Tik
19:00
Tok. By late March and about a month after the murders, she would even let people know through her dad's Facebook
19:06
account that Tik Tok was where she would be sharing all updates. And in an attempt to increase her following, asked
19:12
them to follow her over there. Now, by the time that I'm telling you this story, her Tik Tok account has been
19:18
completely wiped clean, probably on the advice from her attorneys. But the thing is that the internet never forgets and
19:24
enough of her videos were later saved and then re-uploaded. And let's just say that it no longer looks great for Sarah.
19:32
In one video, Sarah filmed herself in tears with mascara streaking down her face. The clip is paired with a trending
19:39
sound. And over it, she had written, "They don't know it, but a year from now, me and my 5-year-old sister would
19:45
find them wrongfully shot dead in our home, and they won't get to see me graduate, walk down the aisle, or even
19:52
say goodbye." The video then shifted to a slideshow of happy family photos. But
19:57
what really struck people as odd was that the video opened with a photo of Sarah all dressed up as if she were
20:03
heading to a party before then cutting to the memorial images. Many viewers felt it was both jarring and tonedeaf,
20:10
which to be honest, yeah, it is. I think we're all tired of seeing insecure people claw for validation. In another
20:17
video, Sarah claimed that she felt crushing guilt, saying, "I can't help but hate myself because I didn't wake up
20:24
before my 5-year-old sister had to find them like that." And in another, she said, "It hits me when I hear her
20:30
screaming for her mommy and daddy." These were raw, heartbreaking admissions and the kind of pain that you would
20:36
expect from a traumatized teen. But seeing it broadcasted to the world like this only fueled the split reaction with
20:43
sympathy being felt on one side and suspicion on the other. But Sarah was not merely posting on her account
20:50
either. Because by June of 2025 and only a few months after the murders, she had
20:56
even contacted a Tik Tok true crime creator named Allegedly apparently specifically asking them to cover her
21:02
parents' case. And this is where it gets even more suspicious because Sarah would describe her parents' murders as quote a
21:09
big hit and even offered quote insider intel. Now, the creator did end up
21:14
making a video about the case and Sarah was seen interacting in the comments. Again, this would fuel a whole bunch of
21:21
mixed reactions because some would see this as her trying to keep the case in the spotlight, but others believed that
21:27
this now basically crossed into spectacle. Either way, Sarah social media left many people divided. And so,
21:34
on that note, what do you think at this stage? Was she a grieving teenager desperately seeking justice, or was this
21:42
something else entirely? One thing was certain here, that Sarah absolutely adored her mother, and nearly every post
21:49
circled back to how much she missed Kristen. For many weeks, her grief was raw and relatable. But by early summer,
21:56
the tone did seem to begin to shift. What once looked like a daughter's heartbreak now started to feel
22:02
performative. And one of the main questions that many people asked when they looked at Sarah was wondering if
22:08
she was simply grieving or if she was now enjoying the attention that tragedy had brought. And it wasn't just the
22:14
internet that was asking that question either. Because by now even law enforcement had started to quietly
22:20
scrutinize her. And then came July of 2025 when all of a
22:27
sudden the case was flipped on its head. Despite numerous months of hard work, detectives had no evidence to suggest
22:34
any attack coming from the outside. And so with that in mind, they now had to question the unthinkable. Of course,
22:41
that being, were they perhaps murdered from someone on the inside of the property? So, out of the family of five,
22:47
who could potentially be responsible here? Well, to begin with, there's James and Christian, but they were the two
22:53
that were actually murdered. So definitely not them. Next there was Donnie, but he was out of the property
22:58
all night. And then there was Jaye, but she was 5 years old at the time. And
23:04
that only leaves one person remaining. Of course, the one who called emergency services, the one who apparently slept
23:10
through the gunfire and James's alarm. And if you look closer, the one who
23:15
potentially has both motive and opportunity. And of course, I'm talking about Sarah. By early July, detectives
23:23
believed that they had enough to incriminate Sarah, and so they issued a warrant, and by July the 8th, she was
23:29
officially within police custody. The community was absolutely stunned. Her involvement sounded like, well, the kind
23:36
of drama you'd find on an episode of Coffee House Crime. However, investigators themselves were confident
23:42
in their theory. And so, later that day, the sheriff's office announced her arrest. They claimed that there were
23:49
mountains of evidence available, backed by interviews with the FBI. Because this is still an active case, police have not
23:55
shared much of what they actually have on Sarah yet. And so, for now, we're left piecing things together from the
24:01
little that we do actually know. But let's just say that even in this limited position, many details simply don't sit
24:08
right. First off, let's talk about the front door. Not only do investigators state that there was no forced entry,
24:15
but everything seemed to be intact. The only odd thing was that one of the doors was actually left a jar that morning,
24:22
which of course could mean it was staged to suggest a break-in, or also could just simply be how the family lived. It
24:29
is true that they resided in a safe neighborhood with pets, and so leaving a door unlocked overnight was not
24:35
unthinkable. But when you pair that with zero foreign fingerprints or any DNA whatsoever, and the mystery intruder
24:41
theory suddenly looks quite flimsy. And then there was the crime scene itself. The house was spotless. Nothing was
24:48
stolen or disturbed. And whoever did this seemingly went straight upstairs, shot two people multiple times, and then
24:55
just simply walked out. Apparently, that's not your average burglary gone wrong here. Whoever had murdered them,
25:01
well, it was personal. And finally, let's look at Sarah's story. She told
25:06
the police that apparently she went to bed around midnight, not even saying good night to her mother or stepdad,
25:13
which her relatives claim was unusual. She also told the officers that she slept throughout the entire thing. Of
25:19
course, that means that she would have slept through all of the commotion and even the gunshots, only waking up when
25:25
her younger sister Jaye came crying in the next morning.
25:30
However, here is where it starts to unravel because on social media, Sarah actually said something different. In
25:36
one of her videos on Tik Tok, she actually claimed that she had in fact heard her dad's heart alarm around 20
25:42
minutes after going to bed, and that apparently it was so loud that she could hear it over the TV. The video suggests
25:48
that even if she wasn't responsible for her parents' murders, she was still awake while all of this was going on,
25:54
which included the gunshots. So, not only do we have two conflicting stories from Sarah, but also one of them makes
26:01
no sense whatsoever. She would have had to hear the alarm, the gunshots, all this commotion with some intruder coming
26:08
up the stairs and into her parents' bedroom and somehow just been okay with it. And also, her sister Jaye claimed
26:15
that she heard those gunshots in the middle of the night. Apparently, they were distinct loud booms. And of course,
26:21
if Sarah would have heard that, she would have likely jumped out of bed to investigate. However, in her police
26:26
interview, Sarah claimed that she heard absolutely nothing at all, which of course now punches a huge hole in her
26:32
credibility. So, the investigators were now left with a weak alibi, a door left to jar, no sign or evidence of a
26:39
break-in or anyone coming from the outside, and a teenager whose story keeps shifting. Have to say, not looking
26:46
good for Sarah, is it? By now, it wasn't just the internet or the police who were growing suspicious
26:53
of Sarah, but her very own family. The most vocal about it was James' niece, Kristen Dow. Not only had she been close
27:00
to her uncle, but she had also known Sarah ever since she was little. She had always adored her. Of course, that was
27:07
only until the arrest. And after that, Kristen did not hold back. When she herself began to grow doubtful, she
27:13
posted Sarah's eulogy on Facebook with a brutal caption saying, "After their funeral, and when I saw someone had
27:20
recorded this, I immediately saved it because I knew that one day everyone would see it for what it was. I sat
27:26
there at the service thinking, am I actually watching the person who murdered them stand up here in front of
27:32
everyone, fake crying about them? Does anyone else notice she's doing a crying voice, but never actually sheds a tear?
27:38
This is what a monster looks like. Monsters do come in the form of sweetl lookinging girls and pretty dresses
27:44
sometimes. And luckily in this case, that monster gets to trade her dress for a jumpsuit and handcuffs. Kristen is
27:51
convinced that something is off about Sarah. And it wasn't just the family who thought the eulogy was odd either
27:57
because even detectives noted the same thing. In fact, law enforcement even saved a copy of the funeral live stream
28:04
as evidence. They also believe that Sarah's public display was less about grief and more about controlling
28:10
suspicion. But remember, at this point, most of the evidence still remains a secret. Prosecutors say that they're
28:17
holding back the full picture for trial, but insist that their case is strong. I mean, they wouldn't charge a 17-year-old
28:23
with double homicide on mere speculation alone. But curiously enough, they've also said that further arrests are maybe
28:30
possible. When Sarah turned herself in, she was hit with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
28:36
And because of the severity of this case, the state plans to try her as an adult. This means that if she is
28:42
convicted, she will face life behind bars. After Sarah's arrest, even the true crime community weighed in. That is
28:48
when allegedly reportedly also revealed that Sarah herself had asked to cover her parents' murders. So, not only did
28:55
this teenager ask me to cover a case that she would wind up being arrested in, but her comments on that video that
29:02
I made that she requested are so disturbing to look at. Now, Sarah Grace has now been arrested and charged with
29:08
taking her mother and stepfather's life. She requested that I make a video about it and then she commented, "Thank you
29:14
for spreading awareness." She also replied to this person who asked what was used in this crime and she answered.
29:21
This person commented and said, "From an investigative standpoint, it would seem that it was someone who knew them,
29:26
hoping for answers and swift justice." Sarah Grace, the daughter and
29:31
stepdaughter of these victims who has now been arrested, said most definitely was since they knew the house.
29:38
It was clear that Tik Tok had become Sarah's outlet for grief. But whether that grief was real or staged, that's
29:44
still up for debate. Her quick jump onto trending sounds and dramatic posts had left many wondering if she was actually
29:51
chasing sympathy or simply chasing views.
29:57
However, while most of the internet has turned their back on Sarah, she still does have several loyal supporters. Of
30:03
course, the biggest one being her own father, Daniel, who claims that she is absolutely innocent. As of the time
30:09
making this video, he still hosts fundraisers, posts interviews, and basically says the same thing over and
30:15
over again. That Sarah is a sweet and gentle and kind-hearted girl, and there is no way that she could be responsible
30:22
for all of this. I'm not surprised given the state this world is in, but there is even a Facebook group that seeks to
30:28
defend Sarah, which at this point in time has already gained over a thousand members. Even still, alongside that
30:35
support, even darker rumors are circulating online. Several of her friends on Tik Tok claimed that Sarah
30:41
had previously been hospitalized for mental health reasons, though far none of them have been confirmed. And let's
30:48
be honest here, literally nothing on Tik Tok can be taken seriously. Despite her apparent involvement, no real motive has
30:55
emerged so far. For now, Sarah is sitting in jail. Her bond hearing was on August the 19th of this year where she
31:02
asked to be released and live with her father until trial, but thankfully that motion was denied. Uh on a motion for
31:09
bond, um defense has a burden of coming forward initially with evidence to show
31:16
uh that the defendant has not posed a significant risk of fleeing, threatening the community, committing another crime
31:22
or intimidating witness. And then it is the state has the burden of persuasion
31:28
in convincing this court uh that the defendant is not entitled to pre-trial release. I believe those closest uh and
31:36
I say closest um in family relationship expressed that they had vast concerns
31:42
that she would have the ability to flee. Uh that she would be a danger to the
31:48
community. uh that she would be a danger to them and that she would be pose a
31:54
significant risk of intimidating or actually I think the state steered away from intimidating or influencing or
32:01
manipulating witnesses. By finding that I find the state has met their burden today by a proponents of the evidence.
32:08
Miss Patrick um because of that I'm bound by the law and I do not believe
32:14
that you would be a proper candidate for bond at this time. As a result, she will remain behind bars at least until the
32:22
end of her trial, which could be months away or maybe even years. That all depends on how strong the evidence
32:28
really is. Hopefully, as time goes on, more light
32:33
will be shed on this case, and you can absolutely bet that whenever we find more updates, I'll let you know in the
32:38
future. I'm going to be keeping a close eye on this one and probably losing sleep on it, too. Unfortunately, we are
32:45
ending this video on a rather open-ended cliffhanger, but of course, all of the evidence so far does seem to suggest
32:51
that Sarah is responsible for her parents' murders. There is a lot to chew on here, and honestly, I've seen so many
32:57
theories and opinions that I don't really know what to believe anymore. But what do you think? Do you think Sarah is
33:03
responsible for her parents' murders, or do you think she was unfortunately framed? As always, please share your own
33:09
thoughts in the comment section down below, and I'll try to read as many as I can. And hey, if you haven't subscribed
33:14
yet and you're not part of the Copy House crime community, then please do consider doing so. It really does help
33:19
the channel out. Alternatively, if you want to do something a little more casual, please find me on Instagram. I
33:25
mean, just saying, if you want to see more of Nero, that is definitely the place to go. Anyway, folks, with that
33:30
said, thank you so much for watching today, and I really appreciate you making it to the end here. I'll see you again very soon for another video,
33:36
probably in four or 5 days. We'll see. Until the moment arrives though, remember to look after yourselves, look
33:42
after each other, and of course, stay safe and stay curious. Thank you and goodbye.
