HOLDEN BEACH Phillip Brock was sentenced to serve at least 20 years in prison for the March 2019 murder of his wife, Judy Patricia Brock.
Phillip Brock, 73, pled guilty to second-degree murder Wednesday in Brunswick County Superior Court.
Brock initially called in his wife as a missing person. Investigators searched the couples’ Holden Beach home and collected evidence that eventually led detectives to suspect Brock.
Brock disabled the GPS device on his phone and unsucessfully disabled the GPS device on his Ford F-150, investigators found.
