Sarah Grace Patrick, the teen TikToker from Georgia accused of killing mom & stepdad as 6‑year‑old sister discovers their body
A 17-year-old girl from Georgia has been formally charged in a horrifying double murder case that has rocked the local community and sent shockwaves across the nation. Sarah Grace Patrick, the daughter of one of the victims, allegedly gunned down her own mother and stepfather inside their Carroll County home. 17-year-old girl has been charged with the February murders of her mother and stepfather in a Carroll County case that stunned the quiet rural community of Tyus, just outside of Carrollton GASarah Grace Patrick, the teenage daughter of 36-year-old Kristen Brock and stepdaughter… Teen daughter accused of double homicide On the morning of February 20, 2025, Patrick's six-year-old sister made a gruesome discovery—her mother, Kristin Brock, 41, and stepfather, James Brock, 45, lying lifeless in their bedroom. Both had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. The teen suspect was the one who placed the 911 call that morning, triggering what would become a months-long, intensive investigation. What's the first thought that goes through your mind when you find out that this 17-year-old girl allegedly gunned down her mother and stepfather? That she was being sexually abused by the stepfather and her mother didn't protect her. It happens more than people want to admit.… Nearly five months later, Sarah Grace Patrick voluntarily turned herself in to authorities, accompanied by her biological father. She has now been charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault. Investigators described the case as 'horrific' and confirmed that she is being charged as an adult. 'Mountains of evidence' lead to a The Carroll County Sheriff's Office stated during a press conference on July 8 that "mountains of physical and digital evidence" were instrumental in linking Patrick to the crime. Investigators conducted numerous interviews and analysed data over thousands of hours to reach this conclusion. The agency noted that additional arrests may still follow, suggesting possible accomplices or individuals involved in covering up the crime. Before her arrest for murdering her parents, Sarah Grace Patrick posted TikToks painting herself as a grieving victim who loved them. But she was charged after her 5-year-old half-sister found her parents shot dead in their bed. Sheriff's office left stunned by teen's alleged motive Spokeswoman Ashley Hulsey admitted that understanding the mindset behind the brutal act remains a mystery. She acknowledged how difficult it is to grasp what might drive a child to allegedly murder their parents, especially without any clear motive established at this time.

Home department goes after credit society directors to recover defrauded funds
Mumbai: The state home department has ordered the attachment of properties of 18 persons accused in a ₹33.95-crore scam in Jaimuni Cooperative Patpedhi Limited, a Vasai-based credit society. Apartments, land parcels and commercial properties owned by the accused – including developers, businessmen and directors and office-bearers of the credit society – will be auctioned to recover the deposits of account holders in the credit society, as per the notification issued by the home department last week. The notification was issued under sections 4(1) and 5(1) of the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) Act, 1999, which authorise the government to recover the amount defrauded from depositors by selling properties of the accused including directors and employees of financial institutions. The notification was issued after the economic offences wing of the Mira-Bhayandar Vasai-Virar police and the Palghar collector submitted reports on properties of the accused to the home department. The reports were submitted following directions from the special MPID court in Palghar which is hearing the case. Properties that will be attached include 17 flats and two houses of Jaywant Naik, the main accused; 6.11 acres of land belonging to developer Avinash Dhole; and an apartment owned by businessman Mintu Shah. The list also includes residential apartments of the credit society's former chief executive officer Rajesh Rawal; former chairman Vasant Naik and his son Swapnil Naik; deputy chairman Nitin Patil; directors Krishna Naik, Kumar Naik, Pratibha Naik, Surendra Raut, Vasant Joshi, Hemlata Naik, Manohar Patil and Vijay Baswant; and employee Manisha Mhatre. The properties will be attached and auctioned by the sub-divisional officer of Palghar, who has been appointed as competent authority in the case, said a senior official from the home department. 'The valuation of the properties has been done by the Collector's office,' the official said. The money recovered from the auction will be distributed among 408 depositors who cumulatively lost ₹33.95 crore, in keeping with their investments, the official noted. 'The home department is also planning to amend the MPID Act to hike the penalty and imprisonment for the accused from the existing ₹1 lakh fine and/ or six years of imprisonment,' he said. The scam came to light in June 2018 after depositors filed complaints regarding Jaimuni Cooperative Patpedhi Limited not returning their deposits. The credit society's financial troubles began after some directors approved loans to purchase 159 flats in buildings owned by Avinash Dhole and other builders. While many of the flats had already been mortgaged by their original buyers, fresh loans were advanced in the name of local vegetable vendors via collusion between Dhole, Jaywant Naik and Mintu Shah, who produced forged documents, and Vasant Naik, Nitin Patil and Rajesh Rawal, who approved the loans. Rajesh Naik, director of the reconstituted board of Jaimuni Cooperative Patpedhi Limited, said some former directors of the society were directly involved in the scam while others were guilty of omission of duty and did not secure any financial benefits. 'Our management analysed 3,800 transactions to establish the money trail which helped the investigating agency frame charges,' said Naik. The reconstituted credit society has been allotted A grade in its audit.

Bedford County to list properties on bidding website
BEDFORD, Pa. (WTAJ) — Bedford County residents will soon be able to buy real estate online. The county commissioners approved an agreement to allow the Sheriff's office to post properties on a website called 'Bid4Assets'. Bidders can access these sales from across the country and have access to place bids on state and county properties. 'When we have a sheriff's sale, we usually have a sale, and we will advertise it, and then we'll have some type of sheriff sale here [at the courthouse],' Bedford County Sheriff Wayne Emerick said. 'But now with Bid4Assets, the group pretty much goes online, and they go nationwide. People in D.C. or Chicago or wherever can view this and bid on a property.' City manager addresses concerns about Altoona road conditions The real estate posted online will have a bidding price. If the sale goes over the selling price, the county will get poundage back, which is the additional payment over the original selling price. The money going back into the county can help save taxpayers money. 'It broadens more people with the bid. So the chance of making more of a poundage for the taxpayers for their, ability to, save taxes that way because they're getting more money back for the sale,' Emerick said. The county looks to set up its website to post properties in July. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Authorities believe they spotted ex-soldier Travis Decker, who is wanted in deaths of 3 daughters
SEATTLE (AP) — Authorities say they believe they spotted Travis Decker, an ex-soldier wanted in the deaths of his three daughters, in the remote backcountry of Washington state, after receiving a tip from hikers who said they saw a lone person who appeared to be ill-prepared for the conditions. The Chelan County Sheriff's office said in a Facebook post Tuesday that tracking teams responded immediately, and a helicopter crew spotted a lone, off-trail hiker near Colchuk Lake, in a popular Cascade Range backpacking area called The Enchantments. The lone hiker ran from sight as the helicopter passed, the sheriff's office said. Teams later found a trail, and K-9 teams tracked the person to the area of the Ingalls Creek Trailhead, south of Leavenworth. Authorities did not say when they spotted the subject, but late Monday night they issued an alert for residents in the Ingalls Creek and the Valleyhi community to lock homes and vehicles and to be on the lookout for Decker. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP's earlier story follows below. Authorities in Washington state are focusing their search for an ex-soldier wanted in the deaths of his three young daughters in an area south of where their bodies were discovered more than a week ago. The Chelan County Sheriff's Office issued an alert Monday night for an area near Ingalls Creek and the Valleyhi community, a small neighborhood about 10 miles (16 kilometers) south of Leavenworth. The alert remained in effect Tuesday. Authorities did not specify what prompted them to focus on that area, beyond saying 'he is believed to potentially be in this area.' 'Residents and visitors are urged to secure homes and vehicles, remain vigilant, and report any suspicious activity to 911,' the alert said. 'A heightened law enforcement presence will persist as a precautionary measure.' Investigators have been looking for Travis Caleb Decker, 32, since the night of May 30, when he failed to return the girls to their mother's home in Wenatchee, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Seattle, after a scheduled visit. Three days later, a sheriff's deputy discovered the bodies of 9-year-old Paityn Decker, 8-year-old Evelyn Decker and 5-year-old Olivia Decker down an embankment at the Rock Island Campground west of Leavenworth. The site is about 11 miles (18 kilometers) from the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs from the U.S.-Mexico border to the U.S.-Canada border, and it is connected to the newly focused search area by backcountry trails. Decker was an infantryman in the U.S. Army from March 2013 to July 2021 and deployed to Afghanistan for four months in 2014. He has training in navigation, survival and other skills, authorities said. He once spent more than two months living in the backwoods off the grid. Officials have searched hundreds of square miles, much of it mountainous and remote, by land, water and air. Last September, his ex-wife, Whitney Decker, wrote in a petition to modify their parenting plan that his mental health issues had worsened and that he had become increasingly unstable, often living out of his truck. She sought to restrict him from having overnight visits with the girls until he found housing. An autopsy on Friday determined the cause of death to be suffocation, the sheriff's office said. The girls had been bound with zip ties and had plastic bags placed over their heads.
