A man is offering $5,000 for any information that helps find who killed his daughter and her husband at their Carroll County home last week.
Dennis Nolan, 78, learned that his daughter and son-in-law, Kristin Brock and James Brock, had been shot to death in their bedroom in the overnight hours Thursday morning. The couple’s 5-year-old daughter made the horrifying discovery, Nolan said. The girl then alerted her 16-year-old sister, who called 911 around 7:30 a.m.
“This whole thing is, is just incredible that someone would do this,” Nolan told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I have no idea what would ever prompt anyone to do this. It’s just a cold-blooded act.”
Carroll County Sheriff’s Office investigators have not shared many details. On Monday, they were still trying to unravel what happened at the couple’s Carrollton Tyus Road home, just a few miles southwest of Carrollton. They still don’t know what time the shooting took place.
“We are continuing to narrow down time of death, and we are working to determine who all had access to the residence around the time of the homicides,” sheriff’s office spokesperson Ashley Hulsey said.
Nolan said his daughter, 41, had been with her husband, 45, for about 10 years and had been married for about a year and a half. They shared one daughter, and Kristin Brock had two older children from a previous marriage, her teenage daughter and a 13-year-old son. The children are staying with family members.
“We were very close; she was a daddy’s girl,” Nolan said of his daughter. “It’s been hard, very hard. You lose a child, it’s not — it’s hard to describe the feeling."
They were supposed to talk on the phone the day before, but she’d had the flu and lost her voice, he said. Instead, she texted to say she loved him and just wanted to make sure he was OK while on a trip to North Carolina.
“She was a real caring person,” he said.
The family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with expenses associated with the couple’s death, and Nolan is offering a cash reward for information leading to an arrest.
Officials have not released any additional information about the incident but said they have interviewed several people. There is no indication if authorities have identified a suspect or a motive.
“Please continue to pray for the (family’s) loved ones at this time and respect their privacy as they grieve the loss of two lives,” the sheriff’s office said.
Anyone with information is asked to call investigator TJ Repetto at 770-830-5916 or via email at trepetto@carrollsheriffga.gov.
