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?

True Crime Today's weekly review unpacks the Charity Beallis case — a story where the documented facts don't match the national headlines.

Charity Beallis and her twins Eliana and Maverick, both six years old, were found dead from gunshot wounds on December 3rd, 2025, in Bonanza, Arkansas. It happened one day after she lost custody to Dr. Randall Beallis — the man she'd accused of strangling her. Media coverage framed it simply: domestic abuser kills family. But the record shows something far messier.

Dr. Randall Beallis pled guilty to third-degree domestic battery in October 2025. That's documented. But so is this: in 2021, Charity's own father allegedly told police she confessed to shooting Randall's previous wife Shawna — who died from a gunshot wound to the forehead in 2012 in a case ruled suicide. That same father once went to court claiming Charity was too dangerous to have custody of her firstborn son. That son later sued for emancipation from both parents. In 2013, Charity was arrested for allegedly pointing a firearm at a man at the same address where Shawna died.

This week, former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke — 32 years in federal law enforcement specializing in behavioral assessment — joined us to examine the escalation patterns, the documented behaviors on both sides, and what they reveal about this case.

No arrest has been made. No suspect named. No cause of death released. The investigation remains ongoing. This isn't about villains and victims. It's about what the evidence shows. Eliana and Maverick are the only ones who bear no responsibility. They deserved better than any of this.

Here's a question nobody's answering clearly: Can Nick Reiner — the man charged with murdering Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner — legally access their $200 million estate to pay for his defense?

He has no money of his own. He wasn't employed. He was living in his parents' guesthouse. And now he's facing two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances, represented by a public defender who learned about the case the day before his arraignment.

Three weeks ago, Nick had Alan Jackson — one of the highest-profile defense attorneys in the country. The family was reportedly footing the bill from the estate. Then Jackson withdrew. The family stopped paying. And nobody's explaining why.

California's slayer statute is supposed to prevent this exact situation — you kill someone, you don't inherit from them. But the statute requires a finding of "intentional" killing. What if Nick mounts an insanity defense? What if he's found not guilty by reason of insanity? Does that change everything?

We dig into the legal loophole that could theoretically preserve Nick's inheritance, explain why his siblings can block any distribution, and break down what it actually means to go from a $2,000-an-hour attorney to an overworked public defender in a capital-eligible case.

The money is there. The question is whether Nick can ever touch it.
