The 17-year-old turned herself in Carroll County jail this week, months after her parents' deaths.
The couple were found shot dead in their bed on February 20.
Sarah Grace Patrick is being charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
She is expected to be tried as an adult.
Ashley Hulsey, a spokesperson for the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, said: "We don't know what goes through the mind of a child who wants to harm their parents.
"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."
Hulsey added that Sarah Grace had turned herself in when she was notified of her arrest warrants.
The case is still an open investigation, and more arrests and charges are still possible, Hulsey added.
Hulsey said: "Our team has sifted through mountains of physical and digital evidence and collaborated with the FBI and GBI crime lab.

"A big takeaway from this story — a mother and stepfather will never be able to raise their children.
"I believe he was waiting on a heart transplant at some point. And to have life cut short…"
Previously, the Brocks' loved ones offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
"This is so horrendous," Kristin's father Dennis Nolan told Atlanta News First back at the time.
"You just can't imagine that someone would come in and just take the life of two good people."
The deceased couple were popular in their local church community.
Catalyst Church member Tasha Meza told Fox 5 Atlanta: "Kristin was bubbly and fun and she loved hugs.
"She never met a stranger. And James, he was a comical kind of guy. He would always crack jokes and make you laugh."

Hulk Hogan had 'no interest' in meeting daughter Brooke's twin girls before his death, son-in-law claims
Hulk Hogan's son-in-law has claimed that the WWE icon had 'no interest' in meeting his daughter Brooke's twins prior to his death. The wrestling legend died at the age of 71 last week after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. In the days that followed, it emerged that Hogan 's daughter would not inherit a dime from her late father's estate after their rift towards the end of his life. Brooke revealed that she 'had to step away to protect my heart' in the final two years of his life, however it appears that her partner did attempt to mend their relationship. Former NHL star Steven Oleksy remained in contact with Hogan and says he reached out 'about a month and a half' after their twins were born in January. According to People, Oleksy said: 'I sent text messages once again to kind of gauge where he was at, but there was no interest.' Reports back in April claimed that Oleksy had made several failed attempts to 'foster peace' with the wrestling legend. Oleksy continued: 'She [Brooke] was there for every surgery leading up to the last two years. She would fly down on her own dime, take care of her dad, and it just made a lot of sense. 'No one understood his body, procedures, medications and everything else more than my wife,' he said. Meanwhile, according Us Weekly back in April, Oleksy has been 'proactively trying to foster peace for years'. The outlet claims that he has requested a 'man-to-man conversation' with Hogan but his efforts have been rebuffed by the wrestling icon. The report quotes a source close to Oleksy and Brooke who claimed that the couple's 'hurt is very, very heavy'. Oleksy offered a public defense of his wife at the time, saying he wouldn't 'stand by and allow anyone to continue to hurt' Brooke. Hulk welcomed Brooke as well as son Nick, 35, with ex-wife Linda - whom he was married to from 1983 to 2009. He later tied the knot with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010 until their divorce in 2021. Two years later, the WWE legend said 'I do' to Sky Daily and the pair were married up until his death on Thursday. Brooke and her father last spoke nearly two years ago in September 2023 only weeks before he married his third wife Sky. On that call, Brooke expressed love and concern for her father - telling him that he shouldn't be working so hard due to his declining health. Despite her pleas for him to enjoy more of his life, those requests fell on deaf ears. The pair didn't speak again. Despite their fractured relationship, Brooke was recently left frustrated after being snubbed of an invite from the WWE as they paid tribute to her late father. 'For those of you giving me c*** for not attending my Dad's tributes, @WWE did not extend an invite,' she wrote on her Instagram story Wednesday. Daily Mail has contacted WWE for comment. Meanwhile, her brother Nick honored his 'best friend' and father in a heartbreaking statement as he joined the WWE's poignant tribute ahead of Monday Night Raw. He looked visibly emotional as he stood alongside WWE stars past and present for a 10-bell salute to his father. His wife Tana Lea was also seen wiping away tears after joining her husband on stage for the event in Detroit.

Four killed in Montana bar shooting that is US's ninth mass murder of 2025
Four people were killed on Friday in a shooting at a Montana bar, prompting a lockdown in a neighborhood several miles away as authorities searched a wooded area for a suspect in the case. The shooting brought the number of mass murders so far this year in the US to nine, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a non-partisan resource which defines such cases as killings in which four or more victims are killed. All those mass murders were shootings, and four have occurred in a 30-day period beginning 2 July. It was the US's second mass murder since Monday, when a man attacked a New York City skyscraper housing the National Football League's headquarters and shot four people dead before dying by suicide. Friday's mass murder in Montana happened at about 10.30am at the Owl Bar in Anaconda, according to the state's division of criminal investigation. The agency, which is leading the investigation into the shooting, confirmed four people were pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect, who was identified as 45-year-old Michael Paul Brown, lived nextdoor to the bar, according to public records. Authorities said a tactical team cleared Brown's home and that he was last seen in the Stump Town area just west of Anaconda. More than a dozen officers from local and state police converged on that area, locking it down so no one was allowed in or out. A helicopter also hovered over a nearby mountainside as officers moved among the trees, Randy Clark – a retired police officer who lives there – told the Associated Press. Brown was believed to be armed, the Montana highway patrol said in a statement. As reports of the shooting spread through town, business owners locked their doors and sheltered inside with customers. At Caterpillars to Butterflies Childcare, a nursery a few blocks from the shooting scene, owner Sage Huot said she had kept the children inside all day after someone called to let her know about the violence. 'We're constantly doing practice drills, fire drills and active shooter drills, so we locked down the facility, locked the doors, and we have a quiet spot where we play activities away from all of our windows and doors,' Huot said. Anaconda is about 75 miles (120km) south-east of Missoula. A town of about 9,000 people in a valley hemmed in by mountains, it was founded by copper barons who profited off nearby mines in the late 1800s. A defunct smelter stack looms over the valley. The owner of the Firefly Cafe in Anaconda said she locked up her business at about 11am on Friday after being alerted to the shooting by a friend. 'We are Montana, so guns are not new to us,' cafe owner Barbie Nelson said. 'For our town to be locked down, everybody's pretty rattled.' Associated Press contributed reporting

Shannon Sharpe makes first public appearance since ESPN firing as he presents brother with Hall of Fame jacket
Shannon Sharpe made his first public appearance since his ESPN firing on Friday night, as he helped induct his brother into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Sharpe was axed by ESPN on Wednesday just weeks after he reached a settlement with his ex-girlfriend, who had accused him of raping her in a $50million lawsuit. Despite the settlement, ESPN relieved Sharpe, 57, of his duties almost two years since prizing him away from rivals Fox Sports. Sharpe later broke his silence and accused the network of ignoring his request to delay the announcement until next week - with the Hall of Fame induction looming. Though they did not honor his request, Sharpe appeared in good spirits as he was seen on stage with his brother Sterling on Friday evening. The axed ESPN analyst was seen putting the prestigious gold jacket on his brother Sterling as the duo became the first set of brothers to be in the Hall of Fame. More to follow...
