00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: her six year old twins in their Arkansas mansion, still

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: no arrest, still no person of interest, but a shocking

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: new discovery. Charity be Alis was finally reaching the end

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: of a bitter divorce and custody battle with her abusive

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: doctor husband when she has found murdered with her children. Now.

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: Local news station KNWA Fox twenty four reports personal belongings

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: from the slain family were found discarded in a dumpster

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: miles from their home. Days after the killings. A dumpster

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: diver in Fort Smith, Arkansas, about fifteen miles from that

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: family home in Bonanza, finds a black trash bag with

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: intimate family keepsakes, printed photographs of Charity Blis with her children,

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: framed portraits, a child's painted artwork, handwritten notes, and medical

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: paperwork bearing her name and home address. Also found inside

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: the personal items a delicate gold necklace engraved with the

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: names of the Bealist children, along with a religious or

18
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: spiritual art print depicting a woman embracing a robed figure.

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: The dumpster diver says she did not look inside the

20
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: bag she pulled from the dumpster until the next day,

21
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: and when she realized what she found, contacted police immediately.

22
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: Detectives then returned to the dumpster site, located near an

23
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: apartment complex, and searched again. Charity's oldest son, John Powell,

24
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: corroborated the woman's account, saying he met her at his

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: attorney's office and she repeated the same story to him

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: so he would have a first hand account of what

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: took place. Poul mentioned the discovery to a detective assigned

28
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: to the case and was shocked by the response. The

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: detective asked the grieving son how he found out about

30
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: the discovery of personal items in the dumpster. The discovery

31
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: comes as the case remains under intense scrutiny following bitter

32
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: divorce proceedings between Charity Vialis and her estranged husband, doctor

33
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: Randall Bialis, which had already reached a critical stage days

34
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: before the killings. Charity filed for divorce weeks after Randal

35
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: Biallis was convicted of third degree battery for allegedly strangling

36
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: her in front of the children earlier this year. He

37
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: was originally charged with aggravated assault on a family member

38
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: third degree domestic battery and two counts of third degree

39
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: endangering the welfare of a minor, but the charges were

40
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: amended in October to only include third degree battery and

41
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: Biallis pleaded guilty to the charge and received a one

42
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: year suspended imposition of sentence and was ordered to pay

43
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: more than fifteen hundred in court fees. A judge also

44
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: barred him from having contact with Charity or any members

45
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: of her family unless authorized by a court order. She

46
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: had obtained a restrating order and sought sole custody of

47
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: the twins, telling the court she feared for her safety

48
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: despite protective measures being in place. Following her death, attorneys

49
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: for Randal Bellis moved to dismiss the divorce on the

50
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: grounds that it had not been finalized, a move that

51
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: would legally classify him as a widower. Attorneys representing Charity's

52
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: eldest son, John Randall Powell, later saw it to have

53
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: the decree entered and to appoint him administrator of her estate.

54
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: Charity Biali's father, Randy Powell, talking about what the death

55
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: of Charity could mean to the estate, said this to

56
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: k and Wa.

57
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: Luke Roxton's supposed to sell house within sixty days, and

58
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: she got her new BMW ten thousand dollars and half

59
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: the earnings of the property Bob, which he would go

60
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: to him with her dad. Now he gets to keep that,

61
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: plus their insurance she had on her, her life at

62
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: Charon City had on her. He's the only one that

63
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: had anything to gain.

64
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: When asked about the multi agency investigation into the death

65
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: of his mother, brother, and sister, John Randall Powell had

66
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: this to say, a lot of hope. I'm glad they

67
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: have looked into it and are taken the time to

68
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: pursue this case and bring justice for what has happened.

69
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: I'm very, very grateful.

70
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: So far, no arrests have been announced. More Crime and

71
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: Justice News Next. At one time in cable television history,

72
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: meetings were held and a show was green Lid that

73
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: would focus on the reality of the swinging lifestyle in

74
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: a suburban Ohio town. The show was called Neighbors with Benefits.

75
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: Don't be too surprised if you don't remember the show.

76
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: It lasted a little longer than Hello Larry or Joni Loveschachi.

77
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: Just two episodes were aired before the show was pulled

78
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: by A and E. Even though several episodes were ready

79
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: for broadcast. Now the show is back in the spotlight

80
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: as one of the show's resident swingers. Tony McCallister, who

81
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: flaunted his suburban swinging lifestyle on cable, is now sitting

82
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: in an Ohio jail, accused of felony sex crimes involving

83
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: a miner and animals. The former reality star is in

84
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: the Warren County jail charged with pandering, obscenity involving a miner,

85
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: and engaging in sexual conduct with animals. McCallister is accused

86
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: of uploading child sexual abuse material to a Google account.

87
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: The swinger is also charged with committing sexual acts involving

88
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: two dogs he owned at arrayment. McAllister was hit with

89
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars pond and remains

90
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: in jail. The arrest of McAllister has brought a and

91
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: e some unwanted attention to the failed DONCU series Neighbors

92
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: with Benefits, a show focusing on following married couples in

93
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: an Ohio suburb who openly lived the swinging lifestyle while

94
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: raising kids, holding jobs, and coaching Little League teams. The

95
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: show was yanked from screens after the second episode drew

96
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: serious viewer backlash. At the time of the show's production,

97
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: McAllister and other cast members claimed the show was going

98
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: to challenge sti tereotypes about the swinging lifestyle and would

99
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: portray the swingers as ordinary families with ordinary lives. At

100
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: the time, the network description of the cast was parents, professionals,

101
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: and neighbors navigating unconventional relationships in a traditional setting. The

102
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: description of the show doesn't match up with the allegations

103
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: outlined by prosecutors. Investigators uncovered evidence tied to McAllister's online

104
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: accounts during their investigation, but authorities are not publicly stating

105
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: how the investigation began or when the alleged crimes occurred.

106
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: Prosecutors have not said if additional charges are expected or possible,

107
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: but McAllister's charges are serious felonies under Ohio law and

108
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: could carry significant prison time if he's convicted. For the
