>A US teen’s ‘tearful’ eulogy to her mother and stepfather helped police charge her with their murder.
>Kristin Brock, 41 and her husband James Brock, 45, were found with fatal gunshot wounds at their home in Carrollton, Georgia on February 20.
>Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, was arrested and charged with murder on Tuesday.
>‘Mountains of physical and digital evidence’ led to Patrick being charged – including her eulogy at the funeral, according to authorities.
>The speech was filmed and later shared with the Daily Mail, who spoke to James’s niece Krysten Dowda.
Ms Dowda, 34, said she thought at the time the crying seemed ‘fake’, with no actual tears.
>She said she first became suspicious of the teenager after the shock of the deaths wore off, and Patrick began sharing details of the deaths on social media and her story would change.
>The teen reportedly told a friend she didn’t hear anything unusual that night apart from the alarm of her stepdad’s heart machine, which would have been triggered by his death.
>There was also no signs of forced entry or burglary.
>‘How do you not hear multiple gunshots in a small house?’, Ms Dowda said.
