A teenage girl from Georgia, who has been accused of murdering her mum and stepdad, shared a series of chilling social media posts before she was charged.
Sarah Grace Patrick has been charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault in connection to her mother, Kristin Brock, 41, and stepfather, James Brock, 45.
Carroll County Sheriff officials said the couple were fatally shot in their bedroom and were found on 20 February.
'Mountains of physical and digital evidence' led to the 17-year-old girl being charged earlier this week.

It comes after Patrick handed herself in to police the week prior.
"From the very moment the 911 call was received, a relentless investigation began, one that would span months, consume thousands of hours, and require the full weight of local and federal law enforcement partnerships," the force said in a statement.
Before she was charged, the teen appeared to be heartbroken by the deaths, sharing selfies of herself crying and pleading for justice, Law & Crime reported.
“If you asked me about my mom and step dad, I’d say I miss them so much,” the accused killer said when she was 16 at the time.
“But if you were to ask me on a deeper level, I’d tell you that I just wanna go home.”
In a video posted on 1 March, she mentioned the trauma of her younger sister: “They don’t know it but a year from now, I and my five-year-old sister (sic) would find them wrongfully shot dead in our home and won’t get to watch me graduate high school, see me walk down the isle (sic), and couldn’t even say goodbye.”
And then in another post she described her life like a 'horror movie that never ends'.
Her TikTok account has now been removed from the platform, the outlet reports.
After she was charged, TikToker @AllegedlyReportedly claims Patrick reached out to her about covering her parents’ murders.
“Why would you ask me to cover a case where you are going to get arrested for taking your parents’ lives,” the creator said.
"We don't know what goes through the mind of a child that wants to harm her parents," Ashley Hulsey, a spokesperson for the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, said at a news conference on Tuesday (8 July).
"She’s 17. She’s kind of been out on her own. She’s lived with different family members and moved all over the place."
"Our team has sifted through mountains of physical and digital evidence and collaborated with the FBI and GBI crime lab," Hulsey added.
"A big takeaway from this story — a mother and stepfather will never be able to raise their children," Hulsey said. "I believe he was waiting on a heart transplant at some point. And to have life cut short."
Patrick has been denied bail.
