True Crime Today's weekly review examines the Sarah Grace Patrick murder case ahead of her January 5th trial — and why the prosecution's public case doesn't add up yet.Sarah Grace Patrick was sixteen when her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock were shot dead in their Carroll County, Georgia home. Her five-year-old sister found the bodies. For five months, Sarah mourned publicly on TikTok, reached out to true crime creators, and delivered an emotional eulogy. Investigators arrested her claiming mountains of evidence. The defense says they still don't have full discovery.What's been made public? TikTok posts. DMs to influencers. A eulogy the sheriff thought was "odd." No murder weapon confirmed recovered. No motive disclosed. That's what prosecutors are bringing to a jury in weeks.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joined us to analyze what the actual evidence shows — and what the family history reveals that media coverage has largely ignored. Court records show Sarah told police at eleven years old she felt unsafe in her mother's home. Custody filings contain drug allegations. James Brock was on probation for meth offenses and once accused Kristin of trying to run him over with a car. They got married anyway. A blended family with fractures running deep.Sarah's grandfather — Kristin's own father — says Sarah is innocent. The Brock family wants her locked up. Friends wore "I Stand with Sarah" shirts to court. The judge denied bond. The key witness? A six-year-old girl who may testify against her sister. Is this evidence of guilt or a generation gap in how trauma looks online?#SarahGracePatrick #TrueCrimeToday #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #CarrollCounty #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBI #MurderTrial #Georgia #WeekInReviewJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week's True Crime Today Live review covers the Sarah Grace Patrick case with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer as trial approaches January 5th.Seventeen-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick stands accused of murdering her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock while they slept in their Carroll County, Georgia home. Her five-year-old sister discovered the bodies. For five months post-homicide, Sarah posted tearful TikToks, DMed true crime creators asking for coverage, and told one influencer her story "would be a really big hit." Then she was arrested.Prosecutors claim mountains of evidence. What they've actually shown: TikTok videos, messages to content creators, and an eulogy investigators found suspicious. No confirmed murder weapon. No stated motive. Defense attorneys say discovery is still incomplete with trial weeks away.Jennifer Coffindaffer — 32 years in federal law enforcement — breaks down what this evidence actually means and examines the family background that's been largely overlooked. Court filings reveal Sarah told police at age eleven she felt unsafe in her mother's care. Drug allegations appear throughout custody documents. James Brock was on meth probation. He once accused Kristin of trying to kill him with her car — then married her. Sarah's teenage brother sued for emancipation. This wasn't a stable home.The Brock family filled the courtroom demanding Sarah stay jailed. Her maternal grandfather insists she's innocent. Friends showed up in "I Stand with Sarah" shirts. Bond denied. And the state's key witness is a six-year-old girl being asked to testify against her own sister. Trial starts in days.#SarahGracePatrick #TCTLive #JenniferCoffindaffer #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #FBI #CarrollCounty #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #TrialPreviewJoin 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 Hidden Killers to break down the seven-month delay in the Sarah Grace Patrick murder trial and what it reveals about the prosecution's case — or lack of one.Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, is charged as an adult with two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock in Carroll County, Georgia. The couple was found shot in their bed on February 20th, 2025. Their young daughter discovered the bodies. Sarah called 911. Five months later, she was arrested after the Carroll County Sheriff's Office announced they had "mountains of evidence" against her.The trial was scheduled for January 5th, 2026. It didn't happen. Judge Dustin Hightower pushed the case to August 3rd, 2026 after prosecutors said they needed time to review a defense neuropsychologist's evaluation and potentially hire their own expert. Back in December, the judge specifically told the state to let him know if they needed a continuance. He anticipated this.Here's where it gets interesting. The defense's earlier motion for continuance — citing incomplete discovery — was denied. The court found the state was in compliance. But when the prosecution needed more time, they got seven months without issue.Bob Motta examines what this delay signals. No murder weapon has been produced. No forensic evidence linking Sarah to the killings has been publicly disclosed. No firearm was found at the scene.

Defense attorney Bob Motta joins us live to break down two cases dominating headlines — the Sarah Grace Patrick trial delay in Georgia and the Reiner murders in California — and take your questions in real time.Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, is charged as an adult with murdering her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock in Carroll County, Georgia. The trial was set for January 5th, 2026. It didn't happen. Prosecutors requested more time to respond to a defense neuropsychologist's evaluation, and Judge Dustin Hightower pushed the case to August 3rd, 2026. The defense's earlier continuance motion was denied. When the state needed time, they got seven months.Bob Motta examines what this signals about the prosecution's case. No murder weapon has been produced. No forensic evidence linking Sarah to the killings has been publicly disclosed. No firearm was found at the scene. Claims about disabled cameras remain unproven allegations. The Carroll County Sheriff's Office announced they had "mountains of evidence" — but the state couldn't go to trial.Then we turn to the Reiner case. Nick Reiner is accused of killing his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, in Brentwood. This is the fifth alleged patricide in Southern California in recent weeks. Police had responded to the home multiple times over the years. Nick had cycled through seventeen rehab programs. His father reportedly told friends the night before that he was "petrified" of him. California's mental health laws made meaningful intervention nearly impossible. We discuss what families can actually do when warning signs are everywhere and the system offers no options.Join us live with your questions.#SarahGracePatrick #NickReiner #BobMotta #LiveStream #TrueCrimeLive #DefenseAttorney #MentalHealthCrisis #CarrollCounty #RobReiner #TrueCrime2025Join 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 provides legal analysis on the Sarah Grace Patrick case after the murder trial was delayed from January 2026 to August 2026.Sarah Grace Patrick, now 17, faces two counts of murder in the deaths of her mother Kristin Brock, 41, and stepfather James Brock, 45. The couple was shot in their bed in Carroll County, Georgia on February 20th, 2025. Patrick was arrested in July 2025 after authorities announced they had "mountains of evidence" against her. She has been held without bond since her arrest.The January 5th, 2026 trial date was vacated after prosecutors indicated they would need time to review a forensic neuropsychologist's evaluation prepared by the defense and potentially retain their own expert. Judge Dustin Hightower moved the trial to August 3rd, 2026, but warned there would be "slim to none" chance of another delay.Bob Motta discusses the implications of this delay for both sides. He examines why the prosecution's need for additional time raises questions about the strength of their case. He addresses the earlier denial of the defense's continuance motion and whether the court is applying different standards.Motta also analyzes the evidence questions that remain unanswered — no recovered murder weapon, no publicly disclosed forensics, and prosecution claims about disabled cameras that have not been proven. He offers perspective on how social media behavior is being used to build a narrative against a teenage defendant and whether that constitutes actual evidence.What should we expect between now and August?

The murder trial of Sarah Grace Patrick — the Carroll County, Georgia teenager charged with killing her mother and stepfather — has been delayed from January 5th, 2026 to August 3rd, 2026. The delay came after prosecutors indicated they would need time to review a defense neuropsychologist's evaluation and potentially prepare a rebuttal.Sarah Grace Patrick was 16 when Kristin Brock, 41, and James Brock, 45, were found shot to death in their bed on February 20th, 2025. Their young daughter discovered the bodies. Sarah called 911. She was arrested five months later after the Sheriff's Office announced they had "mountains of evidence" against her.But what evidence has actually been disclosed? No murder weapon has been produced. No firearm was found at the scene. Defense attorney LaToya Williams previously filed for a continuance citing incomplete discovery — that motion was denied. Yet when the prosecution needed more time to respond to defense preparation, Judge Dustin Hightower granted a seven-month delay.Sarah's grandfather Dennis Nolan maintains her innocence. He says there's no physical evidence connecting her to the murders. The prosecution has made claims about cameras being disabled before the killings — but those remain unproven allegations in court filings.Sarah Grace Patrick has been held without bond since July 2025. She is being tried as an adult on two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault.We examine what's been disclosed, what's missing, and why a prosecution claiming overwhelming evidence couldn't proceed to trial as scheduled.#SarahGracePatrick #CarrollCounty #GeorgiaMurder #TrueCrime #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #MurderTrial #August2026 #TrialDelay #CriminalJusticeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two major cases are moving through the system right now, and both hinge on questions that haven't been publicly answered.Sarah Grace Patrick's murder trial begins today. She's seventeen, accused of shooting her mother Kristin and stepfather James Brock while they slept in their Carroll County, Georgia home. The five-year-old sister found them. Sarah dialed 911 and then spent five months posting emotional videos, contacting true crime podcasters, and grieving publicly in ways that made investigators suspicious. They arrested her in July, claiming mountains of evidence. But no murder weapon has been confirmed. No motive has been disclosed. Her defense says they're still waiting on discovery. Her grandfather—who buried his own daughter—says the case against Sarah doesn't hold up. The prosecution's key witness? The little sister, now six years old.In California, the D4VD grand jury continues building toward a potential indictment. Celeste Rivas Hernandez's body was found in the trunk of his Tesla after decomposing for over a month. The cause of death remains deferred. But prosecutor Beth Silverman isn't waiting for the medical examiner to make this easy. She's grinding through witnesses—including D4VD's manager, who reportedly testified for days and was overheard saying his priority after learning about the body was keeping the tour running. A female witness failed to show and now faces a body attachment. D4VD has allegedly transferred properties, broken his lease, and gone completely silent.FBI veteran Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down both cases with the precision of someone who's built these investigations from the ground up.#TrueCrimeToday #SarahGracePatrickTrial #D4VDGrandJury #CelesteRivas #FBIAnalysis #MurderTrial #BreakingCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #GeorgiaMurder #LosAngelesCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Sarah Grace Patrick murder trial begins January 5th in Carroll County, Georgia. She's seventeen years old, charged with killing her mother Kristin and stepfather James Brock in their sleep. Her little sister—five years old at the time—discovered the bodies. Sarah made the 911 call. Then came the TikToks, the outreach to true crime creators, the eulogy that made investigators uncomfortable. Five months later, she was in handcuffs. Prosecutors say they have "mountains of evidence." Her grandfather says nobody has put the gun in her hand.In Los Angeles, musician D4VD remains silent while a grand jury hears witness after witness in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her body was found in the trunk of his Tesla after sitting there for over a month in summer heat. Inside his Hollywood rental, investigators found a chainsaw never removed from its protective sheath and a burn cage incinerator still in the box. PI Steve Fischer says the plan got upended. The cause of death is still officially deferred. But prosecutor Beth Silverman is pushing forward—and the people in D4VD's orbit are starting to feel the pressure. His manager testified for days. A witness skipped her appearance and now faces a body attachment. Properties have been transferred. Everything has gone dark.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down both investigations—what the evidence actually shows, what's missing, and how prosecutors build cases when the physical evidence is thin but the behavior speaks volumes.#SarahGracePatrick #D4VDCase #CelesteRivasHernandez #FBIAgent #TrueCrimePodcast #MurderInvestigation #GrandJuryTestimony #CarrollCountyGeorgia #CriminalJustice #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down the Sarah Grace Patrick trial delay and the questions surrounding the prosecution's "mountains of evidence" claim.Sarah Grace Patrick was 16 years old when her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock were found shot to death in their Carroll County, Georgia home on February 20th, 2025. Their young daughter discovered the bodies. Sarah called 911. She was arrested five months later and charged as an adult with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault.At the time of her arrest, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office told the press they had "mountains of evidence" against her. But when the January 5th, 2026 trial date arrived, the prosecution wasn't ready to proceed. They told Judge Dustin Hightower they needed time to review a defense neuropsychologist's evaluation and possibly hire their own expert. The trial was pushed to August 3rd, 2026.Bob Motta examines what this delay tells us about the state's confidence in their case. He addresses the double standard of the defense's continuance motion being denied while the prosecution gets seven months. He breaks down what it means when prosecutors signal they need to rebut a defense expert before even seeing the final report.We also dig into what evidence has actually been disclosed — and what hasn't. No murder weapon. No forensics made public. Claims about disabled cameras that remain unproven. And social media activity being treated like a smoking gun.Is this a case built on substance or press conference soundbites? Bob Motta gives his assessment and explains what both sides need to do before August.#SarahGracePatrick #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #CarrollCountyMurder #DefenseAttorney #TrueCrimePodcast #MurderTrial #GeorgiaCrime #LegalAnalysis #TrialDelayedJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
January 5th, 2026 was supposed to be the day. Jury selection in the Sarah Grace Patrick case. Instead, the trial was delayed seven months to August 3rd — and it was the prosecution, not the defense, that drove the delay.Sarah Grace Patrick is the 17-year-old Georgia teen charged as an adult with murdering her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock. They were shot in their bed in February 2025. When Sarah was arrested five months later, authorities announced they had "mountains of evidence" against her. But what have they actually shown us?No murder weapon recovered. No forensic evidence publicly disclosed. No gun found at the scene. The prosecution has made claims in court filings about cameras being disabled before the shooting — but those are allegations, not proven facts. Meanwhile, Sarah's social media activity has been treated like a smoking gun simply because people don't understand how teenagers communicate in 2025.On January 5th, the defense had their neuropsychologist evaluation ready. The state said they needed time to review and rebut. The judge — who specifically told prosecutors back in December to let him know if they needed more time — granted the delay.Sarah's grandfather Dennis Nolan continues to maintain her innocence. He says there's no physical evidence tying her to the murders. He says investigators haven't produced the weapon. And he says her first call from jail was desperate: "What are they doing to me? Why are they doing this? I didn't do anything."Is she guilty? Is she innocent? We don't know. But we do know this: prosecutors who have mountains of evidence don't need seven-month delays to go to trial.#SarahGracePatrick #CarrollCountyMurder #TrueCrimePodcast #GeorgiaCrime #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #MurderTrial #TrialDelayed #Evidence #ProsecutionJoin 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 Hidden Killers to break down the seven-month delay in the Sarah Grace Patrick murder trial—and what that delay may reveal about the prosecution's case.Patrick, 17, is charged as an adult with two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of her mother, Kristin Brock, and stepfather, James Brock, inside their Carroll County, Georgia home. The couple was found shot in their bed on February 20, 2025. Their young daughter discovered the bodies. Sarah made the 911 call. Five months later, she was arrested after the Carroll County Sheriff's Office announced it had “mountains of evidence” against her.The trial was scheduled to begin January 5, 2026. It did not.Instead, Judge Dustin Hightower continued the case to August 3, 2026, after prosecutors told the court they needed additional time to review a defense neuropsychologist's evaluation and potentially retain their own expert to rebut it. Notably, the judge had anticipated this possibility weeks earlier, instructing the state in December to alert the court if it would need a continuance.That context matters. The defense previously sought its own continuance, citing incomplete discovery. That request was denied after the court ruled the state was in compliance. When the prosecution asked for more time, however, it was granted a seven-month delay.Motta examines what this procedural imbalance may signal about the strength of the state's case. To date, no murder weapon has been produced. No firearm was recovered at the scene. No forensic evidence linking Sarah to the shootings has been publicly disclosed. Prosecutors have alleged in filings that home security cameras were disabled prior to the shootings—but those claims remain unproven allegations, not established facts.We also discuss the powerful social-media narrative that has developed around this case and whether a teenager's TikTok activity can—or should—be treated as evidence of homicide. Finally, Motta outlines what both sides will be preparing for as the case now heads toward its August 2026 trial setting.#SarahGracePatrick #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #TrialDelay #CriminalDefense #CarrollCounty #KristinBrock #JamesBrockJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two cases. Two teenagers. Two very different paths through the justice system—both now marked by delay and uncertainty.Seventeen-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick was expected to head toward trial in Carroll County, Georgia, accused of killing her mother, Kristin, and stepfather, James Brock, while they slept in their home. Instead, her case has been delayed—prolonging questions that have lingered for months.Sarah's five-year-old sister discovered the bodies. Sarah made the 911 call. In the months that followed, she posted emotional TikToks, contacted true-crime creators, and delivered a funeral eulogy investigators later described as “odd.” After five months, she was arrested. Prosecutors claim they have “mountains of physical and digital evidence.” But publicly available details remain limited: no confirmed murder weapon, no disclosed motive, and no forensic evidence released that definitively places the gun in Sarah's hand. Even her grandfather—who lost his daughter in this case—has said the evidence he's seen does not answer that central question.Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the grand jury investigation involving D4VD continues behind closed doors, with witnesses expected through February. Investigators recovered a chainsaw that appears unused, a burn-cage incinerator still unopened, and a Tesla left parked on a residential street for weeks—containing the decomposing body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her cause of death remains officially listed as “deferred,” but prosecutors are actively building a case.Los Angeles prosecutor Beth Silverman is pressing forward as pressure mounts around D4VD's inner circle. His manager testified before the grand jury for days. A key female witness failed to appear and now faces a body attachment order. Properties have reportedly been transferred. Tours canceled. Projects paused. And D4VD himself has gone silent.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to break down what investigators are actually seeing in both cases—the evidence that exists, the evidence that doesn't, and what it means when prosecutors move forward with circumstantial cases involving teenagers while timelines stretch and public scrutiny intensifies.This isn't about social media narratives.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Sarah Grace Patrick is weeks away from trial, charged with murdering her mother and stepfather in their Carroll County, Georgia home. Prosecutors claim mountains of evidence. But publicly, we've seen TikTok posts, DMs, and an "odd" eulogy. No confirmed weapon. No motive. No physical evidence disclosed.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to analyze what this case actually looks like heading into January. We examine the social media behavior that drew suspicion, the family history buried in court documents, the potential interrogation issues, and whether a six-year-old witness can carry a murder case against her own sister.Is there enough here for a conviction? Or is this a case built on how a teenager grieved online?

Sarah Grace Patrick is headed toward a January trial, accused of killing her mother and stepfather inside their Carroll County, Georgia home. Prosecutors insist the evidence is overwhelming. But what the public has actually seen raises serious questions.There's no confirmed murder weapon. No publicly disclosed physical evidence. No clear motive. What has surfaced are TikTok videos, private messages, and a funeral speech some have labeled unsettling. Online behavior has become part of the narrative—but does that equal proof?Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to strip the emotion out of the headlines and examine what really matters. We break down the social media activity that drew law enforcement attention, the lesser-known family history buried in court filings, potential problems with how statements were obtained, and the extraordinary reliance on testimony from a six-year-old sibling.Is this a solid homicide case moving toward conviction? Or a prosecution leaning heavily on interpretation, optics, and how a teenager processed grief in public?This is a case where perception may be doing as much work as evidence.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Sarah Grace Patrick: Mountains of Evidence or Mountain of Speculation? Sarah Grace Patrick was sixteen when her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock were found shot to death in their Carroll County, Georgia home. For five months she posted tearful TikToks, messaged true crime creators, and mourned publicly. Then she was arrested and charged with both murders. The sheriff's office claims mountains of physical and digital evidence. Her grandfather — who lost his own daughter — says there's nothing putting the gun in Sarah's hand. No weapon confirmed recovered. No motive disclosed. What's been made public amounts to social media posts, DMs, and an "odd" eulogy. In this episode, we dig into what's actually known: the crime scene, the custody battles, the drug allegations, the 2022 incident where the stepfather accused the mother of trying to kill him before they got married, and the massive gap between prosecutorial claims and publicly disclosed evidence. Her trial is set for January 2026. The key witness may be a six-year-old who found the bodies — testifying against her own sister. Is this justice? Or is this a case built on TikTok behavior and generational misunderstanding? Listen and decide. #SarahGracePatrick #TrueCrime #CarrollCounty #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #MurderTrial #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The interrogation practices used in the Richard Allen case have become one of the most troubling — and consequential — aspects of the Delphi murders investigation. In this episode, we break down the reported tactics that raise profound ethical and procedural concerns far beyond Carroll County. From the use of deceptive pretenses to initiate questioning to the unclear delivery and reinforcement of Miranda rights, this interrogation reveals how fragile constitutional protections can become under pressure. When those protections are blurred, a suspect's ability to understand and exercise their rights is severely compromised. We examine how investigators allegedly used false evidence claims, exaggerated forensic certainty, and coercive language during questioning — all while operating under what appears to be a presumption of guilt. Leading questions and narrative-steering hypotheticals amplified that bias, creating an environment designed not to discover truth, but to confirm a theory. These tactics take on even greater significance when considering the weakness of the ballistic evidence at the center of the case. Despite being presented to Allen as definitive, expert analysis reveals substantial uncertainty surrounding the alleged forensic match. Throughout it all, Richard Allen repeatedly maintained his innocence, even as the psychological weight of the interrogation — and the broader investigation — intensified around him. His experience serves as a sobering reminder of how easily confirmation bias can take root, steering investigators toward narrow conclusions while overlooking critical context. This episode explores what happens when interrogation rooms become echo chambers, when pressure replaces clarity, and when the pursuit of justice risks being overshadowed by the pursuit of a confession. These concerns matter not just for the Delphi case, but for every system that relies on fair, evidence-based investigation. #DelphiCase #RichardAllen #TrueCrimeNews #InterrogationAnalysis #BallisticsDebate #JusticeSystem #ConfirmationBias #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #DueProcessRights 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 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When a defense team orders a psychological evaluation just weeks before trial, it's never accidental and it's never meaningless. In this episode of Profiling Evil, we take a careful, plain-spoken look at the developing case of Sarah Grace Patrick, charged in Carroll County, Georgia, with the murders of her mother, Kristen Brock, and her stepfather, James Brock. As the case moves closer to trial, new questions are emerging about mental health, legal strategy, and whether a jury could be asked to consider an insanity-related defense under Georgia law. The episode talks about the mental health evaluation, what it means and what it does not mean. Under Georgia's narrow insanity standard, mental illness alone is not enough. So why pursue an evaluation now? Is this about an insanity defense, a guilty-but-mentally-ill verdict, mitigation, or simply preparing for the weight of the evidence the state may present? If you want to understand the strategy, the risks, and the reality behind the headlines, this is a conversation worth having.#SarahGracePatrick #KristenBrock #JamesBrock #CarrollCountyGA #CarrollCounty #SuperiorCourt #GeorgiaLaw #GeorgiaCourts #InsanityDefense #MentalHealthDefense #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrueCrimeAnalysis #CriminalPsychology #ProfilingEvil #CourtTV #TrueCrimeYouTube #TrueCrimePodcast========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

On February 13, 2017, a man named Richard Allen murdered two girls, 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams in Delphi, in Carroll County. Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland and his team, Stacey Diener and James Luttrull, prosecuted him. Allen's defense team consisted of lead counsel Brad Rozzi, Jennifer Auger, and Andrew Baldwin. That defense team established a consistent pattern of engaging in baseless personal attacks on prosecutors and detectives throughout their representation, and also put forward a flimsy theory of the case centering an alleged Norse pagan cult. Allen was convicted on November 11, 2024 by a jury of his peers. The Murder Sheet can now exclusively report that Baldwin filed a ridiculous complaint against McLeland this past summer with Indiana's Disciplinary Commission, a body tasked with disciplinary complaints against lawyers. Baldwin's complaint was dismissed on its face. But we can now share that this was not the only frivolous complaint filed regarding the Delphi murders — we got one too.Find discounts for Murder Sheet listeners here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/discountsCheck out our upcoming book events and get links to buy tickets here: https://murdersheetpodcast.com/eventsOrder our book on Delphi here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/shadow-of-the-bridge-the-delphi-murders-and-the-dark-side-of-the-american-heartland-aine-cain/21866881?ean=9781639369232Or here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Shadow-of-the-Bridge/Aine-Cain/9781639369232Or here: https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Bridge-Murders-American-Heartland/dp/1639369236Join our Patreon here! https://www.patreon.com/c/murdersheetSupport The Murder Sheet by buying a t-shirt here: https://www.murdersheetshop.com/Check out more inclusive sizing and t-shirt and merchandising options here: https://themurdersheet.dashery.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Four years after the Hillsville courthouse shootout shocked Virginia, another one of the Allen brothers met a violent end. Jack Allen, brother of Floyd Allen, and once a constable in that Carroll County courtroom, was shot and killed in 1916 at a roadhouse near Mt. Airy, North Carolina. His killer, 24-year-old Will McCraw, claimed self-defense and was acquitted.But the story doesn't stop there.McCraw may not have been a stranger to Jack Allen's family and some believe he was nudged into the confrontation by men with unfinished business from Hillsville.In this episode, Steve and Rod follow the trail from the courtroom to the roadhouse, tracing rumors of revenge, Baldwin-Felts detectives and a possible family connection to the killer.It's another one of the Stories of Appalachia.Be sure to subscribe to the Stories podcast if you haven't done so already.

In late February of 2024, 46-year-old Samantha Tolbert vanished from Carroll County, Georgia, a rural area in western Georgia, along the Alabama state line. At first, Samantha's absence didn't raise an alarm. She kept in touch with her daughter, but it wasn't unusual for some time to pass between calls. That all changed on March 7, 2024, when deputies from the Carroll County Sheriff's Office responded to a call in Tyus, a small community in Carroll County. There, they discovered Samantha's ex-husband was deceased. What stood out immediately was that the vehicle he had driven to the scene wasn't his; it was Samantha's truck, but she was nowhere to be found.Investigators attempted to contact Samantha because she was the registered owner of the vehicle, but all efforts to reach her were unsuccessful. Friends and family they contacted said they hadn't heard from her either. In that moment, the troubling truth came into focus: not only was Samantha's ex-husband dead, but Samantha herself was missing. Suddenly, two stories collided, one ending in death, the other vanished.

Arkansas is set to welcome $12 billion in new data centers that will require significant electricity, while recent legislation has made it nearly impossible to develop new wind farms. The state will have to rely on importing power and building natural gas plants, leading to higher costs for ratepayers.

But first, let me pick you a picture of the natural state. Arkansas sits right in the heart of America. This is the land that gave us President Bill Clinton and the retail giant Walmart. It's the home to the rugged Ozark mountains and the fertile Mississippi River Delta, where folks still wave from the front porches. And Sunday dinner means the whole family surround the table. Arkansas has always been a place where old traditions meet new opportunities. Rice fields stretch across the eastern flatlands. Timber companies harvest the dense forest. The Buffalo River runs wild and free. And now. Wind energy companies are eyeing those wide open spaces and [00:01:00] mountain ridges. But here's where our story gets interesting. The natural state is about to welcome $12 billion in new data centers. That's Google building a $10 billion facility in West Memphis, just across the river from where Elvis lived. Two more billion dollars centers go up in Little Rock and Conway near the center of the state. These data centers will demand massive amounts of electricity. How much Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation says they've got requests for 4,000 megawatts of new load. That's more power than the entire system has built in 80 years. And the data center companies want it in just three or four years. And here's an interesting turn of events. Arkansas just made it nearly impossible to build wind farms that could power these data centers cheaply. And cleanly. Senate Bill 4 37 passed by just one vote in the Arkansas [00:02:00] Senate 18 4 14 against, they called it the Arkansas Wind Energy Development Act, but don't let the name fool you. This 20 page regulatory monster is designed to kill wind development. The bail requires wind turbines to be set back three and a half times their height from property lines. That's up to a quarter mile it. Bans turbines within one mile of schools, hospitals, churches, and city limits. It demands extensive environmental studies and public hearings. Wind companies warned this would kill future development. Wire, Hauser the Timber Giant with 1.2 million acres in Arkansas said the rule would limit their ability to host wind projects to zero acres. Zero. Representative Jack Leman, a Republican from Jonesboro, Arkansas, summed it up on the house floor, quote, if wind is a bad idea, it will fail on its own. It's not our job to kill an [00:03:00] industry, unquote, but they killed it anyway. Six Arkansas counties have already banned wind development. Carroll County, Boone, Madison, Newton Crawford, and Criton Counties have all said no to commercial wind projects. The current projects get a pass. The Crossover Wind Project in Cross County and the Nimbus Project in Carroll County. Were already under development by April 9th of this year, so they're exempt from the new rules. Crossover wind will be Arkansas's first operational wind farm, 135 megawatts, 32 turbines enough to power 50,000 homes. It's going online next summer in the flat farmland of Eastern Arkansas. Nimbus is more controversial. 180 megawatts. Plan for the Ozark Mountains in Carroll County near the state line with Missouri...
Combines are beginning to hit fields as the 2025 harvest begins. Ricky Chandler is one of the first to get started, shelling white corn on one of their locations in Carroll County. Chandler says dry weather late in the growing season, combined with low commodity prices are making this season tough.
