Arkansas Mom and Twins Found Dead After Bitter Custody Fight
A shocking discovery has rocked Arkansas as personal belongings of murdered mother Charity Beallis and her six-year-old twins were found dumped just days after their brutal execution-style killings.
The 40-year-old mother and her children were gunned down in their $760,000 Bonanza mansion on December 3, just one day after a contentious divorce hearing where her estranged husband was awarded joint custody.
Chilling Evidence Discovered
Three days after the savage murders, a dumpster diver in Fort Smith found a black garbage bag containing deeply personal items: an engraved gold necklace with the children's names, family photos, and the kids' homework and artwork.
The bag also contained documents bearing Beallis' name and address, along with what appeared to be a religious painting. The discovery was made about 10 miles from the family home.
When the woman realized these treasured keepsakes belonged to the murdered family, she immediately contacted law enforcement and met with detectives at the dumpster location.
Domestic Violence History
This tragedy stems from a toxic marriage that ended in violence. Charity and her 56-year-old physician husband Randall Beallis separated in March after he choked her at their home, leading to his arrest for domestic violence.
Randall pleaded guilty and received a suspended sentence plus over $1,500 in court fees. But the damage was done. Charity was fighting for full custody, fearing for her life and her children's safety.
Her fears were so intense that she reached out to Arkansas Republican State Senator Terry Rice for help getting protection. Rice connected her with the Arkansas State Police Crimes Against Children Division.
Justice Delayed
Despite the obvious domestic violence pattern and Charity's desperate pleas for help, the system failed this American family. On the very day the bodies were discovered, Randall's attorney filed a motion to dismiss the divorce case because "the plaintiff passed away."
Law enforcement has made no arrests, and Randall's attorney maintains his client's innocence, claiming he has been "cooperative with law enforcement."
But when Charity's oldest son John Powell informed investigators about the dumpster discovery, one detective allegedly asked, "How did you find out?" The question raises serious concerns about the investigation's thoroughness.
System Failure
This case represents everything wrong with our broken family court system. A mother's desperate cries for help went unheeded. A violent husband with a criminal record was awarded joint custody. And now three innocent Americans are dead.
The Sebastian County Sheriff's office must deliver justice for Charity and her twins. The American people deserve answers, and this family deserves justice.
