Overview

  • Sarah Grace Patrick turned herself in on July 8 and faces two counts each of murder and aggravated assault after prosecutors opted to charge her as an adult.
  • Officials say they built their case on “mountains of physical and digital evidence,” highlighting a recorded funeral eulogy and her social media activity.
  • Investigators traced her TikTok account @sgrace04282, noting sympathy-seeking tributes posted after the February 20 shootings and a June message to a true crime influencer.
  • Police found no signs of forced entry or theft and say Patrick placed the 911 call after her 5-year-old half-sister discovered her mother and stepfather’s bodies.
  • The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, FBI and Georgia Bureau of Investigation are continuing to probe Patrick’s motive and have not ruled out further arrests.
