Summary
On December 3, in Sebastian County, Arkansas, the sheriff's office was called to conduct a welfare check on Charity Beallis at the family mansion in Bonanza.
Police fail to get a response from inside the mansion, so two workers escort officers into the home. Officers locate the body of Charity Beallis and two children.
All three appear to have gunshot wounds and are sent to the Arkansas crime lab in Little Rock for autopsy.
Charity Beallis's and her twins' murder comes one day after attending a final divorce hearing with her ex-husband, Dr. Randal Beallis.
Randy and Charity Beallis marry in 2015 and have twins, a son and daughter, in 2019. Charity Beallis files for divorce and full custody of the couple's twins, as well as an order of protection. In the final divorce hearing, Dr. Randy Beallis is awarded joint custody of the children.
10 years of marriage ends with Randy Beallis charged with aggravated assault on a family member, third-degree domestic battery, and two counts of third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor. Randy Beallis stands accused of causing physical harm to his wife and mother of his children by choking her.
Beallis is carted off to jail, while Charity Beallis makes plans to file for divorce. No charges have been filed, and Dr. Beallis is innocent until proven guilty.
