‘Killer' teen's father breaks his silence with shocking claim about daughter who ‘shot mom & stepdad dead in their beds'
Doniel Patrick made a stunning claim about 17-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick in a lengthy statement, months after Kristin and James Brock were shot dead as they slept.

On February 20, 2025, the couple was killed inside their home in Carrollton, Georgia, outside Atlanta, and their bodies were found by Kristin's six-year-old daughter.
Patrick, who was 16 at the time, called 911 to report the killings and posted about her grief and heartbreak on TikTok for weeks.
However, now she's emerged as the prime suspect in the case, with Carroll County sheriffs claiming they have "mountains of evidence" against the teen.
Since Patrick turned herself in on July 8 after a warrant was issued for her arrest, Doniel has come to her aid through desperate online posts.
On Wednesday, he broke his silence on the deaths and said that he knew "everybody is talking" about him and his daughter.
"Many people were talking about things that they don't even know," the dad fumed on Facebook.
"They are just talking and writing about stuff that is completely false."
Doniel went on to claim that Patrick is "100% innocent" and encouraged any doubters to speak about the incident with him in person.
"If you wanna talk to anybody about me and my daughter's relationship come straight to me. I'm not hiding," he said.
The dad described telling his son that his mother and stepfather were dead as the "hardest thing I ever had to do" and said that his daughter turned herself in because she "has nothing to hide."

"My heart goes out to the Brock family and Kristin's. I will speak when it's time," he said.
"Right now, I am trying to focus on my daughter, my children.
"To everybody out there that has kids to everybody out there that's paying attention. God bless each and everyone of you.
"I hope that you never have to go through an experience like this."

DISTURBING POST
Just days after the murders, Patrick took over her dad's account and wrote a statement on the deaths because cops confiscated her phone.
She begged her dad's followers for answers and said the killings "split me and my sister up after such a traumatic day none of us deserved."
"I wish I got up and hugged her when I said goodnight, you never know how much you'll regret not doing it until it's too late," she said of her mother.
Patrick said that she was praying for "whoever did this" and stressed she was putting her "trust in God."

EERIE NOTE
Patrick wrote her dad a now-eerie handwritten letter weeks before she was arrested, according to one of Doniel's Facebook posts.
The dad shared a picture of the note, which read, "I love you so much and I don't know what I would do if God didn't send me you.
"I love you and I know a lot has happened but just know I love you and we got this!
"I'm so proud of you, thank you for being an amazing dad."
At the couple's funeral, Patrick also gave a tearful eulogy that later made her the prime suspect in their murder.
Doniel Patrick's full statement on daughter's arrest
"I just want to go on the record and say I know everybody is talking.
"Many people were talking about things that they don't even know. They are just talking and writing about stuff that is completely false.
"Taking pictures of me leaving church to go to visit my daughter. If you have time to follow me around walk up to me talk to me I will talk to you.
"My daughter is 100% innocent. If you wanna talk to anybody about me and my daughter's relationship come straight to me. I'm not hiding.
"I'm going to work and doing all the normal things that I have to do to support my son. Nobody knows my pain, but I choose to deal with it the way that I have to.
"I don't want all of attention like everybody else. February 21 I had to come home and tell my son that his mother and his stepfather were dead.
"It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Until I had to take my daughter to the sheriff's office, I did not turn her in.
"She voluntarily went there because of the warrants.. She has nothing to hide. I'm not the type of person that gets on social media.
"I don't even pay attention to most of it. The only social media I have is Facebook and it's been ruined by this entire situation.
"People are quick to judge when they don't even have any info. I have as much info as everybody else so where are you getting your info from?
"If it's the media then you all should know how the media portrays everything. It's not about the truth. It's about viewership they will say anything.
"Some of the stuff that I have seen and some of the media outlets have reported good stuff.
"A lot of of them have reported bad stuff without any facts just assumptions and talking to people that don't know nothing.
"My heart goes out to the Brock family and Kristin's. I will speak when it's time. Right now, I am trying to focus on my daughter, my children.
"Not what everybody else is focusing on believe me I'm living it. I don't have to see it. To everybody out there that has kids to everybody out there that's paying attention.
"God bless each and everyone of you. I hope that you never have to go through an experience like this.. as Pastor Ben said this Sunday I'm ready bring it on goliath."
In her emotional speech, she said, 'I just wanted to say goodbye to my mom and James since we never got the chance to.'
The teen girl called her mom a "beautiful kind soul" and said that she would always be her "sunshine."
But according to Carroll County Sherriff's spokesperson Ashley Hulsey, she made one disturbing comment that drew immediate suspicion.
"It seemed odd. It was more like a speech, and at the end she said, 'I'm sorry,'" Huley told NewsNation.
'Was that, 'I'm sorry because I may have done this,' or is it, 'I'm sorry because I was upset during this eulogy'? We may never know.'

Shelter worker is mauled to death by two dogs rescued from abuse and fighting ring
A shelter worker was mauled to death by two rescue animals saved from a dog-fighting ring. Clifford Phillips Jr., 57, died this month at Second Chance Animal Alliance in Yalobusha County, Mississippi, during the attack, according to WREG. 'A dog was already in a pen and he was trying to put another dog in there and the other dog tried to run out, and he tried to hold him off with his foot and that dog grabbed his leg, pulled him down. And then the other dog jumped in with him. One of them was a pit, and the other was a pit mixed breed, and they killed him. They got it all on tape down there,' friend Dudley Woods told the outlet. The two dogs that attacked were at the shelter after being taken in a court-ordered seizure in an investigation into abuse and dog fighting, Yalobusha County Sheriff Jermain Gooch told the North Mississippi Herald. Police who responded to the scene had to shoot one dog dead to reach Phillips. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The other dog was euthanized. Phillips had worked at the shelter for two years, according to WREG. 'His quiet and caring demeanor helped him foster a love for animals and he remarked that he often felt more comfortable around his pets than around people, perhaps recalling the time he spent with Eon, his beloved childhood dog,' his obituary read. He had also worked at a bakery and a Piggy Wiggly in recent years, according to the obituary. Phillips loved watching social media videos - including seeing people's reactions to old TV shows and movies when being shown them for the first time. The 57-year-old was a regular attendee at Sylva Rena Baptist Church, his obituary stated. 'Quiet, caring, and unassuming, Cliff never met a stranger. He loved people. Cliff enjoyed meeting people and swapping stories about their past experiences and sharing details of his own,' the obituary stated. 'He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.' It's unclear what led the dogs to launch into their attack. The shelter released a statement in the wake of Phillips' death. 'It has been one week since the death at the shelter of our friend and employee Cliff Phillips,' it read. 'Alongside his family and many friends, we are devastated by this loss. While we cannot address every question or rumor we have seen over this past week, we have cooperated with local officials. 'Please know that we take the safety and security of our volunteers and employees seriously. We are proud of the work we do in our community and will remain vigilant as we continue to do it.' The victim's older brother, Charles, told WREG that his brother loved animals but he wondered if more could have been done. 'I went out and picked his vehicle up and his last paycheck, but she said, 'I'm sorry I have no words for it,' but she said, 'I'm so sorry for your loss and everything,'' Phillips told the station. 'They've always done good. They've took a lot of strays and puppies and stuff from around here and they've always done good with that.'

Ghislaine Maxwell's could dodge congressional subpoena for her testimony in Epstein investigation, lawyer says
Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell is unsure whether she will comply with a recent congressional subpoena to testify about his abuse of girls and whether others were involved, amid continued pressure for the government to disclose more about the case. 'We have to make a decision about whether she will do that or not,' her attorney David Oscar Markus told Politico. 'That's been scheduled for the week of August 11th and we haven't gotten back to them on whether we'll do that.' Maxwell could invoke the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to avoid testifying, while Congress could offer the former British socialite immunity. Maxwell is currently in a Florida federal prison serving a 20-year sentence for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors, which she has sought to overturn in the Supreme Court. Her lawyer said, Maxwell is hoping Donald Trump pardons her. A bipartisan group on the House Oversight Committee voted Tuesday to subpoena Maxwell amid renewed interest into the Epstein scandal. Maxwell sat with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in recent days for an in-depth interview in Florida. The interview featured Maxwell answering questions about ' 100 different people,' her lawyer said. DOJ officials spoke to her as fallout from the president's handling of releasing information in the Epstein case continues to mount. Democrats have criticized Maxwell's conversations with the DOJ, arguing they are a conflict of interest given the political pressure the Trump administration is facing to disclose more about the Epstein case and Trump's personal relationship with the disgraced investor. 'Under no circumstances should anyone from Trump's DOJ be allowed to privately interview Ghislaine Maxwell,' Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote on X of the interview. 'The conflict of interest is glaring. It stinks of high corruption.' The battle over Epstein info has played out beyond just Congress, which House Speaker Mike Johnson broke early for an August recess as legislators pressured the administration to disclose the full Epstein files. Last week, President Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against right-wing media mogul Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal 's parent companies News Corp and Dow Jones, after the paper reported that Trump sent a 'bawdy' birthday letter to Epstein. The president has denied the letter is valid. The Epstein saga has created a rare wedge between Trump and members of his base and party. Trump and his allies campaigned on releasing more information about Epstein, and initially, the White House made steps toward fulfilling that promise, releasing what it called ' Phase 1 ' of the Epstein files to a group of conservative commentators and online personalities in February. However, most of it was redacted or already disclosed. Earlier this month, the Department of Justice announced there was no 'Epstein client list' despite speculation, and that no more disclosures would be made about the case, infuriating parts of the MAGA base. The president has chastised his own supporters for their intrigue over Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial, calling the scandal a Democrat-led 'scam' and 'con job.' The president, who has previously denied being mentioned in the Epstein files, was in fact told by the Justice Department he was one of numerous high-profile figures mentioned in the course of investigations into Epstein, the Wall Street Journal has reported.
