4
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: this amidst a bitter, acrimonious, poisonous divorce.

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories.

6
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 3: I want to thank you for being with us.

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 4: rebuild her life after divorce and protect her children. What

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 4: she doesn't know is that the nightmare she's been trying

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 4: to escape is only just beginning.

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 5: Before I go into the facts of how Charity, a

12
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,440

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: Was found dead, shot twice.

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 5: And from what I can tell, and I've been on

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 5: plenty of homicide cases, this is not a suicide murder.

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: She is shot twice.

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 5: We've been told, in the chest and the head. That

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 5: was not a suicide.

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 2: But get this.

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 5: Her two little twin children six years old, also dead

00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,000

Speaker 5: A boy and a girl, twins, three of them gunned

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:31,400

Speaker 5: To both of you, our deep, deep sympathies, and I

32
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,560

33
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 5: some point, please know there are thousands and thousands of

34
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 5: people out there that are praying for you and your

35
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 5: pain that you're going through. Matte John, when did you

36
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 5: learn and how did you learn your mother, Charity had

37
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 5: been killed?

38
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 7: I went to work, just a normal day, and before

39
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 7: I got out of work, I was getting text through

40
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 7: Facebook and text message that something bad had happened, and

41
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 7: nobody would tell me.

42
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 6: Really what it was, but something bad had happened.

43
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 8: And when I got home i left work, my grandfather

44
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 8: told me that people was already telling him through Facebook

45
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 8: and things that my mother and baby brother and sister

46
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 8: had been killed.

47
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 5: So you find out through basically digital media and then

48
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 5: start getting out of these calls. When did law enforcement

49
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 5: come and tell you?

50
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 6: They didn't? They never did.

51
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 9: We had to contact them and wait for a call

52
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 9: back from them. I had to reach out to a

53
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 9: man I went to school with that the sheriff in

54
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 9: a different county, and he got in touch with the corner,

55
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 9: and the corner told him.

56
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 10: It was okay to confirmed to me that they were

57
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 10: all dead. And then my daughter was shot twice and

58
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 10: the babies were shot through the chest, and.

59
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 5: That's how we found out, okay, I just got to

60
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 5: cut the chase. The husband, the doctor, how was he

61
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 5: regarded in the community. I don't understand why law enforcement

62
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 5: wouldn't come and tell you what happened.

63
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 10: Well, he had millions of dollars that he had soon

64
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 10: as she followed a divorce and handed it out to

65
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 10: anybody that would receptive of it. And I can't answer

66
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 10: that question to one. They wouldn't come and tell me.

67
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 10: They told me that they didn't have time, and that

68
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 10: they didn't know how to get in touch with me

69
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 10: was their excuse.

70
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 6: They're sorry, they didn't know how to get in touch

71
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 6: with me.

72
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 5: Mister Powell Randy Powell, Charity's father. When Charity married doctor

73
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: Bilis Bellois. Did she know he had another wife that

74
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 5: died of a gunshot wound?

75
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 3: Did she know that going into this, Yes.

76
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 6: Yes, ma'am, she did.

77
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 11: Bi Alis, a highly regarded doctor specializing in family and

78
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 11: hospital medicine, was previously married to Shawna Jeanette Graham. Billis

79
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 11: a practical nurse who died in twenty twelve by a

80
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 11: gunshot wound to the head at the age of thirty four.

81
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 11: Her death was ruled self inflicted, but Shawna's family said

82
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 11: the death scene never made sense.

83
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 5: Okay, I've got so many directions I need to run

84
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 5: down with that, But let me state right now that

85
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 5: doctor Biellis is not named a suspect.

86
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: In this case. He is not named a person of interest.

87
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 5: His lawyer has sent us a really long statement that

88
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 5: says he had nothing to do.

89
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: With Charity's death.

90
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 5: I'm sure they feel the same way about the first

91
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 5: wife's gunshot wound. They also state that Charity, miss Billis

92
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 5: now did, with her two children, made false accusations against

93
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 5: him in the past and it was all a lie.

94
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 5: But wait, notice a moment right there, I thought her husband,

95
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 5: the doctor, pled guilty to domestic assault strangling her choking her.

96
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 6: Yes, he pled guilty and the kids were there and

97
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 6: that's all on file.

98
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 5: Well, this says that that I'm holding up a letter

99
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 5: from them, a very lengthy letter.

100
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 3: I might add, by Michael D.

101
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 5: Pierce, who's the lawyer who says that Charity made false

102
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 5: accusations against him.

103
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 3: But you're telling me he played guilty. Isn't that right?

104
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 6: Correct? You correct?

105
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 5: And again the lawyer for doctor Biella says he had

106
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 5: nothing to do with Charity's death. A couple of questions

107
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 5: lightning around to Doug Warner.

108
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: First of all, the first wife.

109
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 5: Shawna, was found dead by law enforcement after they responded

110
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 5: to a welfare check request.

111
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: Is that right that the exact circumstances, I'm not sure.

112
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 12: I just know after the family could not reach her,

113
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 12: that she was being discovered with at least one gunshot.

114
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: Win Okay, one gunshot win.

115
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: I wonder what caliber that was.

116
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 5: Do you know where on her body she was shot,

117
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 5: Doug Warner?

118
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 12: From that autopsy, it does say in the skull, in

119
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 12: the head in the twelve o'clock position, so that.

120
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: It got it in the head, just like Charity.

121
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: Okay, lightning round, lightning round, Okay, shot in the head.

122
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: Where was her body found?

123
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: Doug Warner.

124
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 12: In I believe it said in the bedroom. I'm not

125
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 12: sure where in the bedroom. Again, I literally just got

126
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 12: my hands on that autopsy report in the home.

127
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: In the family home.

128
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 5: In the home at that time, Shawna had one child,

129
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 5: a little girl.

130
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: Is that correct?

131
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 12: Yes, but I'm aware of yes, that the family has

132
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 12: told me at about two or three years old.

133
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 11: Responding officers entered the home and found Shawna shot to

134
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 11: death in their bedroom, according to the report. In the

135
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 11: incident report, police also noted furniture and other items scattered

136
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 11: around the home. According to the police report, Randall left

137
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 11: work to return home due to Shawna threatening to kill herself.

138
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 11: After four Randall returned to work, only to find his

139
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 11: wife dead. A few hours later. Medical examiner determined it

140
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 11: was suicide, and the case was re examined in twenty

141
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 11: twenty one, when it appears that Randy Powell told police

142
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 11: that Charity knew who did it.

143
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 5: That photo of the mansion we got from our friends

144
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 5: over at five News straight out to Joseph Scott Morgan

145
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 5: joining US Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University. He is the

146
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 5: author of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon. He is

147
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: the star of a hit series Body Bags of Joe

148
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: Scott Morgan.

149
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: But for my purposes, he.

150
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: Has investigated over ten thousand death scenes.

151
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 5: That's accident, suicide, natural causes like heart attack, stroke unexplained,

152
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 5: and of course homicide. Joe Scott, you know my head's

153
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 5: about to blow off right now, do you? In my world,

154
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 5: I look for similarities. And let me say again, the

155
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 5: doctor who was married to Shauna and.

156
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: Charity as I had nothing to do with this.

157
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 5: He's not a person of interest, he's not a suspect.

158
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 5: He hasn't been named, he hasn't been arrested. Both women

159
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 5: look alike. Number one, Both women are shot with a handgun.

160
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 5: We believe if it had been a long gun, like

161
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 5: a shotgun, we'd know that by now. Both of them

162
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 5: shot in the head. Both of them had minor children.

163
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: In the current case, the children are six. In Shauna's case,

164
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 5: the child is three. Both were in the middle of

165
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 5: domestic turmoil. Let me say the marriage was blowing up.

166
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 5: Both women were found at home, were shot in the home,

167
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 5: and their bodies found in the home.

168
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 13: Seemingly. Yes, I got to tell you, speaking to your

169
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 13: previous guest, Doug. I'd love to see that autopsy report.

170
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 13: I'd love to dig into that. I got to tell you,

171
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 13: we look for similarities and things, don't we, Nancy. I

172
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 13: want to know the status of that weapon from the

173
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 13: initial event from this suicide. I want to know who

174
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 13: owned it, and I also want to know the nature

175
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 13: of the scene itself when compared to the current tragedy

176
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 13: that we're speaking of. I want to know what kind

177
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 13: of similarities existed there. Also, I would like to know if,

178
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 13: in fact, there were any signs of a struggle at

179
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 13: the scene at either one of them, because you know,

180
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 13: again we're going down this road of thinking about similarities.

181
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 13: Was there any kind of evidence that someone had raised

182
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 13: a hand at some point, Tom restrained somebody. Was there

183
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 13: any chance that, you know, because you have to eliminate

184
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 13: this idea that if they're saying that this is someone

185
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 13: else that's done it, we want to know if we

186
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 13: can eliminate that and strike that off the list. However,

187
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 13: I will say this nance most of the time, as

188
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 13: you well know, most people that wind up dead in

189
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 13: a circumstance like this, you always have to look at

190
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 13: those in the immediate, intimate circle, and as an investigator,

191
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 13: that's what I'm anxious to dig into.

192
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 14: You know.

193
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 5: Another similarity is that both women were autopsied by the

194
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 5: same person.

195
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: Yep, that's rare, isn't it.

196
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, it is if we're talking about the Fort Smith area,

197
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 13: it's not. And if this individual that did this autopsy

198
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 13: is a board certified forensic pathologist first off, so people

199
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 13: understand the nature of the business, they're rare as hens teeth.

200
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 13: There's probably more neurosurgeons in this world than there are

201
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 13: forensic pathologists nationwide. So the fact that we have one

202
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 13: in that area, who exactly would it be that that

203
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 13: would have done this post? What's their relationship in any

204
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 13: way to the political sphere up there? I'd like to know,

205
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 13: are there any other issues with them? And what specifically?

206
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 13: You know, this is the medical community we're talking about,

207
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 13: right nings that that peels back another totally different layer

208
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 13: here when you begin to think about.

209
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 5: That this so she's got one doctor medical examiner and

210
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 5: the husband is also a doctor.

211
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, and that's certainly something that we would we

212
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 13: would want to, you know, lean into and try to

213
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 13: understand that. If we think about are there any kind

214
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 13: of is there any kind of connective tissue between that

215
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 13: individual and this individual. And look, this is just probative

216
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 13: information that you mean, Mike.

217
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 5: Did they go to the same medical school, Did they

218
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 5: go to the same undergrad Did they go to the

219
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 5: same country club?

220
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 3: Did they run in the same circles that whole thing.

221
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 13: Yeah, country club, primarily church, anything in that area. You know,

222
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 13: the chances you're going to have these two that went

223
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 13: to the same med school are kind of rare. But

224
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 13: when you insert yourself into a community, particularly one the

225
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 13: size of the Smart Fort Smith area, you're going to

226
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 13: have this connective tissue. Were they aware of one another

227
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 13: on any level? So that's something I would certainly want

228
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 13: to explore as an investigator.

229
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 5: Let me go back to our special guests, and we've

230
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 5: got an all star panel tonight, but I want to

231
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 5: hear Charity's son John and her father Randy, who I've

232
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 5: described as her soulmate. As a matter of fact, he

233
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 5: tells me that with John, who's sitting right there beside him,

234
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 5: Charity insisted that he Randy, her father, be guardian legal

235
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 5: guardian over John because of the tempestuous relationship that she

236
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 5: had with doctor Biellis. In case anything happened to her.

237
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 5: She wanted her father, the man she trusted the most

238
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 5: in this world, to be guardian over her son. Got

239
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 5: a question for you, John or Randy. Let me throw

240
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 5: it to John first. Where in her mansion? And it

241
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 5: was a mansion, Let's see a picture of where these

242
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 5: this family lived. Where in her mansion was her body found?

243
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 5: Good gravy, that's big.

244
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: Where was she found within the mansion? John?

245
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 7: So the authorities haven't told us exactly where the bodies

246
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 7: was found, but we do know they were upstairs. And

247
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 7: I do know that every bedroom in that house was upstairs.

248
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 6: So that's all that I know now.

249
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 10: Upstairs is the only answer we are from Sebastian Kereth.

250
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 5: That photo of the mansion we got from our friends

251
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 5: over at five News, and that's where all the bedrooms.

252
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 6: Are, correct, right, yes, ma'am?

253
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 5: And do you know do you know, Doug Warner, what

254
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 5: room in which they were found? And were the children,

255
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 5: the two little six year old twins beside her or

256
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 5: with her? How were the bodies found?

257
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 13: Doug?

258
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: What do you know?

259
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 12: That is the tough thing here. I've been doing this

260
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 12: for three plus decades and it's been over a week

261
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 12: now and we've got the zero fountain of information out

262
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 12: of the Sheriff's office. Other than to kind of a

263
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 12: resume of the work they've done. They've put out nearly

264
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 12: two dozen search warrants that they've been included and brought

265
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 12: in the US Secret Service.

266
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: And Homeland Security. And I asked about that.

267
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 12: That seems like a strange addition to this investigative unit

268
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 12: along with state police. They said, that's for a kind

269
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 12: of a more of a deep dive forensics. They have

270
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 12: not provided any information. In fact, they never even said

271
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 12: it was her children that were found shot to death.

272
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 12: They just said Charity of Bielis and two children. It

273
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 12: was not until we talked to the family that we

274
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 12: confirmed it it was those twin twin.

275
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 5: Children that photo of the mansion we got from our

276
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 5: friends over at five News. Let me go quickly to

277
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 5: a veteran trial lawyer on the other side of the

278
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 5: fence from me, Greg Moorse, veteran defense attorney who founded

279
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 5: Morse Legal. He is the author of the Untested and

280
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 5: you can find him at Morse legal dot com. Morse,

281
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 5: you know where I'm going Now. I've got two other

282
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 5: bricks in my wall, both cases the victims are shot

283
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 5: with a handgun. Both were found we believe in the bedroom.

284
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 15: Well, you're you're you're talking about in federal court for

285
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 15: or for be evidence substantially similar, which can be introduced

286
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 15: against it several court.

287
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: This is going to be a state stay, every.

288
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 5: Sack court, every similar y, also every federal statue.

289
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 15: Every state has the same law. They just call it

290
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 15: something different. Florida calls at William's rule. And these are generalities,

291
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 15: all right, So someone was shot with a handgun.

292
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: Two people.

293
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 15: Handguns are used in most crimes. There are women. Okay,

294
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 15: that's a pretty common thing. Fifty one percent of the

295
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 15: country is women.

296
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 5: There's nothing specifically, I'm married to doctor Randy b Allis.

297
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 15: No, but you're winning for substantially substantially similar under the law.

298
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 15: I mean, this person could just tragically be unlucky. This

299
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 15: could be coincidental for this person. We also have in Arkansas,

300
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 15: it's the eleventh highest suicide rate in America. So they're substantially similar.

301
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 15: While it is, You're right, this could be used and

302
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 15: if the doctor is charged, they would maybe try to

303
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 15: get this in even though there's a designation of suicide. However,

304
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 15: these are generalities. Right now, there's nothing that's linking it back.

305
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 15: But one thing that is important I would like to

306
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 15: know is have any shellcasings or any type of fragments

307
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 15: been found, and have they been entered into the National

308
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 15: database NIBIN and to see what type of hits come

309
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 15: on those, because that's a database that takes all fragments,

310
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 15: whether someone is arrested or not, all shellcasings that police

311
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 15: find in responding to an event and it's put into

312
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 15: this national database. So you're right, there are similarities because

313
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 15: this person was married as first wife suicide, second wife suicide,

314
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 15: they're women a handgun, but you would need more specifics

315
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 15: to get that in under substantial.

316
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 5: Hartley hold On, nobody said suicide in Charity's death. In fact,

317
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 5: she was shot in the head and the chest. Joe

318
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 5: Scott Morgan, you're the death investigator. What if I listen

319
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 5: to Morse, I've got to believe either her six year

320
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 5: old child shot her and their sibling, or I have

321
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 5: to believe she Charity shot herself in the chest and went, yeah,

322
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 5: that's not good enough. I'll now shat myself in the head.

323
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 3: That did not happen.

324
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 13: No, I think that that's completely implausible. I would going

325
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 13: back to the rounds that were fired, I would like

326
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 13: to know the nature of those and specifically the caliber

327
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 13: of the weapon that you utilized. I want to know

328
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 13: the status of this previously owned weapon. I want to

329
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 13: know where it is, whose hands it is in at

330
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 13: this moment in Tom, I want to know if there's

331
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 13: any been any kind of recent purchases of firearms on

332
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 13: the part of any of the parties involved in this case.

333
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 13: I want to know if our victim, this mother, I

334
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 13: want to know if she's purchased a handgun recently, or

335
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 13: maybe she was gifted a handgun. I want to know

336
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 13: all of that data so that it can completely be assessed.

337
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 13: Any rounds that perhaps were recovered from this first case

338
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 13: that we mentioned, I want to know what the status

339
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 13: of that round is. I want to know is there

340
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 13: a ballistic match to that earlier weapon. And here's the

341
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 13: big one, I want to know if that round from

342
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 13: that earlier suicide could potentially match the ones involved in

343
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 13: this questioned homicide.

344
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 5: At this moment in Tom, again, I want to stress

345
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 5: we are not trying to put the husband in jail.

346
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 5: I want the killer in jail. Doctor Bialis has not

347
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 5: been named a suspect. He's not been named a person

348
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 5: of interest. He has not been arrested.

349
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 3: In fact, he.

350
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 5: Asserts his innocence as we go to air tonight. He

351
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 5: has presumed innocent under the law.

352
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 7: Remember as a good Christian woman that loved her children

353
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 7: and loved her family and friends more than anything. But

354
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 7: she always put God first. And I'm grateful for that

355
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 7: because I know where she is now.

356
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 11: And December third, Sebastian County Sheriff's welfare check on Charity

357
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 11: be Alice at home, but as a police joined and

358
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 11: failing to get a response from inside the mansion, two

359
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 11: workers escort officers into the home. Officers locate the body

360
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 11: of Charity be Alice and two children. All three have

361
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 11: gunshot wounds.

362
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: Crime stores with Nancy Grace.

363
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 4: Charity's courage and unwavery love for her children are tested

364
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 4: when her a Streams husband grows increasingly dangerous. Randall b

365
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 4: Allis allegedly choked Charity in front of their young children.

366
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 2: Pleading guilty to third degree domestic battery.

367
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 5: As an all Star panel, but I want to go

368
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 5: back to Charity's first son. He's joining us tonight is

369
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 5: John Powell and joining us is who many people consider

370
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 5: to be Charity's soulmate, her father. They were very close,

371
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 5: practically connected, joined at the hip.

372
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 3: So loving each other.

373
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 5: To John, I've seen photos of you with her twins,

374
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 5: the boy and the girl. There you are holding them.

375
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 5: One thing that really was poignant to me. First of all,

376
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 5: in a lot of the photos I've spotted the same

377
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: little outfits, the exact same outfits I got for my daughter.

378
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 5: The one where she's playing in water that looks like

379
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 5: one of Lucy's nightgowns, one of her favorite nightgowns. You

380
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 5: were all the time, that one, that's the exact thing

381
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 5: my daughter wore until she couldn't wear it anymore. In

382
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 5: another photo, she's got on a little reddish colored velvet dress.

383
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 5: And then there's a Hello Kitty T shirt eat the

384
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 5: same yep, that's from Target.

385
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 3: There's a Hello Kitty. And in that photo.

386
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 5: Right there, I see and in a couple of others,

387
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 5: I see where your mom would wear put on her

388
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 5: lipstick before the photo. And then I see where your

389
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 5: little sister said, Mom, I want lipstick, and so she

390
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 5: put lipstick on her baby girl. I'm just she loved

391
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 5: them so much. I want you to tell me about

392
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 5: charity as a mother, John.

393
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 7: She she was a very loving mother, without a doubt.

394
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 7: She loved her her kids more than anything, expect she

395
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 7: loved family.

396
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 6: She always put God first.

397
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 7: She actually had a passion if she was to be

398
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 7: able to make it through this divorce case, to pursue

399
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 7: spreading awareness for domestic violence.

400
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 6: And not only for small towns in the.

401
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 7: State of Arkansas, but try to make it known through

402
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 7: the entire nation. But she really had a passion for that,

403
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 7: and she loved her children more than anything.

404
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 5: And you know what's interesting, John Powell, Well, so many things.

405
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 5: But women will put up with a lot to hold

406
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 5: the family together. They'll put up with lying, cheating, drinking, horring, gambling, drugs,

407
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 5: the whole she bang, because you try to hide it

408
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 5: from your children so they have this as best as

409
00:23:52,600 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 5: you can give them a picture perfect childhood. Okay, about

410
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 5: your mom, because she is gunned down dead in the

411
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 5: middle of a contentious divorce proceeding. Why did your mom

412
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 5: state she wanted a divorce from doctor b Ellis.

413
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 7: He was very abusive and it's on file he pled

414
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 7: guilty to choking her and in front of the children.

415
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 7: She was very scared, and she would just beat down

416
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 7: mentally and she would you know, physically, that's on file

417
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 7: as well. But she was just trying to make it

418
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 7: better for her children.

419
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 14: The murder of Charities and her twins comes one day

420
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 14: after a final divorce hearing with ex husband doctor Randall Beellis.

421
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 14: Randy and Charity be Ellis Mary in twenty fifteen and

422
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 14: have the twins, a son and daughter. In twenty nineteen,

423
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 14: Charity files for divorce and full custody of the couple's twins,

424
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 14: son and daughter, as well as an order of protection.

425
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 14: In the final divorce hearing, doctor Randy Beellis is awarded

426
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 14: joint custody of the children.

427
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 5: What is really interesting to me is that, of course

428
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 5: you heard the timing right there. This is one day,

429
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 5: one day after a final divorce hearing between the two

430
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 5: of them, and some judge gives doctor be Allis joint custody.

431
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 5: That's even custody fifty to fifty to doctor Ballis, even

432
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 5: though he has a domestic abuse conviction.

433
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 11: Listen Dan years of marriage ends with Randy Bellis charged

434
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 11: accused physical harm to his wife and mother of his

435
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 11: children by choking her bi Alis Carter to jail while

436
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 11: Charity plans a divorce to Randy Powell.

437
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 5: This is Charity's father who she trusted so much she

438
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 5: wanted him to be legal guardian over her oldest son, John,

439
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 5: sitting right there in case anything ever happened to her.

440
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 5: I'm confused about how a man, even though he is

441
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 5: a well known and well liked medical doctor, how did

442
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 5: he get joint custody when he pled guilty to domestic

443
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 5: assault domestic battery.

444
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 10: Millions of dollars can do wonders, so I have no

445
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 10: idea how any judge could give him any kind of custody.

446
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 11: After filing for divorce and custody, Charity finds herself treated unfairly.

447
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 11: A strange husband, Randy Billi's domestic violence charges have yet

448
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 11: to be adjudicated, and Charity posting I'm the victim, yet

449
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 11: I've been treated like the problem while the criminal, a

450
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 11: local doctor, is being shielded by the very system that's

451
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 11: supposed to protect us. And so she tried reaching out

452
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 11: to prosecuting attorney, but he won't even accept a letter

453
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 11: from me.

454
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 4: Desperate to protect her family, Charity takes the brave step

455
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 4: in filing for both a divorce and a protective order

456
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 4: against Randall.

457
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: After the final divorce. Hearing the unthinkable happens, Charity and

458
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,959
Speaker 2: her children are brutally killed.

459
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 5: Shortly before her death, Charity Baalis, mother, beloved member of

460
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 5: her entire family, is found shot dead.

461
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: One shot to the head.

462
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 5: One shot to the chest, we have been told, although

463
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 5: the autopsy has been kept secret, along with her her

464
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 5: two children, twins boy and girl, Eleana and Maverick, just

465
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 5: six years old, we are told, shot in the chest.

466
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 5: Just before that, a cryptic post made ostensibly by Charity,

467
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 5: and it states, quote, if a woman's partner has ever

468
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 5: strangled her even once, her risk of being murdered by

469
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 5: that same partner with a gun shoots up seven hundred

470
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 5: and fifty percent compared to a woman who has never

471
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 5: been strangled, shared by a Daily Press article. Straight out

472
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 5: to doctor Janey Lacey, joining US, licensed psychotherapist, CEO of

473
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 5: Life Counseling Solutions, author of How to Heal from a

474
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 5: Toxic Relationship, and host of the Resilient Professional podcast, Doctor

475
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 5: Janey Lacy, thank you for being with us. What can

476
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 5: you tell me regarding the stats on women that have

477
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 5: been strangled by their partner and lived at least through

478
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 5: that incident.

479
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 16: You know, Nancy, strangulation is the single most important warning

480
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 16: sign we have. When a partner puts their hands around

481
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 16: someone's neck, they're rehearsing murder. The research is clear, a

482
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 16: woman who's been strangled by her partner, and Charity shared

483
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 16: that in her post, is seven and a half times

484
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 16: more likely to be killed by him.

485
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 17: And that's not a red flag. That's a death sentence

486
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 17: waiting to happen. And here's what people don't understand, Nancy,

487
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 17: is you can strangle someone and leave no marks, and

488
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 17: when victims reported, there's no music, there's no bruising, so

489
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 17: they're often not even believed. And it's not about anger

490
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 17: in that moment, it's about showing her I own your

491
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 17: next breath, Nancy.

492
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 3: Doctor Janey.

493
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 5: She stated in her very mysterious post prior to her

494
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 5: murder that women that had been strangled and survived that strangulation,

495
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 5: that there're seven hundred and fifty percent more likely to

496
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 5: be killed.

497
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: She says, my.

498
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 5: Gunshot than women who have never endured a strangulation, seven

499
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty percent more likely.

500
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: That's a lot.

501
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 18: That is a lot, Nancy, and that's exactly correct. Is

502
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 18: when a woman who gets strangled, it becomes seven hundred

503
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 18: and fifty percent. Let's kind of think about that more

504
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 18: likely to be killed by him, and to me, that

505
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 18: is not a red flag.

506
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: That is a death sentence waiting to happen.

507
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 17: And we know strangulation is the single most important warning

508
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 17: sign that we have, and that is important.

509
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 2: For us to understand.

510
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 17: When you strangle someone, you don't leave any room, you

511
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 17: don't leave any marks. You're telling that person I can

512
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 17: take your breath away at any moment, and we know

513
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 17: that that person is not We're dealing with someone capable

514
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 17: of killing Nancy.

515
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

516
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 5: Let me go back to Charity's son, John, her oldest son,

517
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 5: and her father Randy joining us tonight. I'd like to

518
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 5: ask you, gentlemen, about a document from the Arkansas State

519
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 5: Police Crimes against Children Unit. Now, this document is sent

520
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 5: to Eleianna and Maverick Bialis in care of Charity, your

521
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 5: mother daughter. It's from a caseworker, Alaura Perry in Van

522
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 5: Buren and important. The date is this past summer July fifteen,

523
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five. Name of the alleged victims, Eleiana and

524
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 5: Maverick b Allis.

525
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: Those are the twins now dead, shot dead.

526
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 5: The name of the alleged offender is Randy B. Allis

527
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 5: aka doctor Ballis. It says the Arkansas State Police received

528
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 5: allegations of child maltreatment involving the above. It was reported

529
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 5: on March thirty one, twenty five. Based on a preponderance

530
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 5: of evidence, the agency deems the allegation to be true

531
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 5: and doctor Beallis's name should be placed in the Child

532
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 5: Maltreatment Central Registry. Let's put the document up on the screen.

533
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 5: It's stay that the type of maltreatment was abuse parenne

534
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 5: abuse with or without physical injury for both children, and

535
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 5: abuse threat of harm to the boy. Maverick, did Charity

536
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 5: ever confide in either of you, Randy or John, why

537
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 5: this complaint was filed and why the allegations were deemed

538
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 5: by a proprieenance of evidence to be true by the

539
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 5: Arkansas Arkansas State Police Crimes against Children Unit.

540
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 2: What happened that.

541
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 10: They conveyed to her some of what had happened, and

542
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 10: she reached out to for help, and they had done

543
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 10: a forensic interview with the children, and that was the

544
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 10: outcomes about all I know to say, I'm pretty well

545
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 10: mentally and physically exhausted.

546
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 7: Once they figured out that Blis wasn't going to be

547
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 7: around them, then they were feeling better about telling my

548
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 7: mother what had happened to.

549
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 5: Chris McDonald joining me, director of the Cold Case Foundation,

550
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 5: former homicide detective, over three hundred homicides under his belt

551
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 5: that he personally investigated. He is the star of the

552
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 5: interview room on YouTube where I found him. We now

553
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 5: have claims by the mom who posts a cryptic post

554
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 5: about strangulation by an intimate partner? Is it semantics smothering

555
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 5: by asphyxiation such as with a pillow, smothering by hand

556
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 5: or ligature? In both ms, the victim is being deprived

557
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 5: of air.

558
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 3: What do you think about that, Chris?

559
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 19: You know, Nancy, the fact that two children were murdered,

560
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 19: remember they were murdered here, and the fact that the

561
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 19: manner of death potentially initially could have been strangulation or suffocation.

562
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 19: The kids, from an investigative aspect, are really the lynchpin

563
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 19: to solving this particular crime because you have two adults

564
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 19: who are obviously having a domestic but then you have

565
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 19: two innocent lives potentially in their rooms upstairs in that house.

566
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 19: And so now you now shift that type of weapon

567
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 19: to a handgun, which is also very personal to somebody

568
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 19: in connection to those children. And so I think that's

569
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 19: where the forensics expertise of the Secret Service is going

570
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 19: to come in here, because they're going to go back

571
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 19: and they're going to try to pull ballistics, they're going

572
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 19: to try digital evidence, etc. And they're going to try

573
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 19: to make sense of that. So it's really not a

574
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 19: who've done it? It's more of why was it done.

575
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 5: In my name?

576
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 13: I paid for it.

577
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 16: I'm shutting it off.

578
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 5: John Powell, we just showed a video of doctor b

579
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 5: Alice slashing your tires of your truck.

580
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 3: What happened?

581
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 7: So I actually was trying to do good for myself

582
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 7: and uh become a lineman.

583
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 6: I was applying to go to Liman.

584
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 7: School, uh, and I had just gotten back from there

585
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 7: across the state, and when I entered the house, Bielis

586
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 7: started mouthing me and using profanity and being real negative

587
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 7: towards me. And I didn't know really why or what

588
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 7: was the cause for it, but it ended up being

589
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 7: something about my phone and not texting back quick enough

590
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 7: or just something that didn't make any sense to me.

591
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 6: And he told my mom to grab a knife and go.

592
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 7: Out there and start trying to stab my tires. Uh,

593
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 7: and she couldn't do it. And then that's when you

594
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 7: see him come behind with the knife as well and

595
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 7: start stabbing every single one of them, and taught me

596
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 7: with the knife with my baby brother in his arm.

597
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 7: So I pulled up my phone. That's all I knew

598
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 7: to do video because I didn't.

599
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 6: Know what else to do.

600
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 7: I knew he was a powerful man that has gotten

601
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 7: away with things in the past that and you know,

602
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 7: he's done things to me that we're.

603
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 6: Not right, and I couldn't get on video.

604
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 7: So I'm thankful I could get this one on video

605
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 7: to show the world that something needs to be done.

606
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: What was your mom doing during all this? What was

607
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 3: she saying?

608
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 7: Trying to get the phone because he knew that if

609
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 7: it was on video that something could happen to him.

610
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 6: But I don't think he was real worried about it.

611
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 6: But he didn't know that the phones needed to be

612
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 6: tooken away.

613
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 5: Tell me about your little brother and sister, Maverick and Iliana.

614
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 6: They were very precious and they were innocent.

615
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 7: You know, my baby brother learned how to play chess

616
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 7: in forty five minutes at six years old.

617
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 6: Very very smart. So was Eleana.

618
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 7: She could paint and draw a pick is like somebody

619
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 7: thirty years old at you know, when she was six

620
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 7: years old. They were very very smart and talented and gifted.

621
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 6: Just one of a kind.

622
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 5: As we go to air tonight, I want to stress

623
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 5: that doctor Bealls has not been charged. He has not

624
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 5: been named a suspect, He has not been named a

625
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 5: person of interest.

626
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 3: In fact, he insists he is innocent.

627
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 5: I got a question for you, Randy Powell, who would

628
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 5: get that house? It's valued in around seven hundred and

629
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 5: sixty eight thousand dollars. Would that since the children have

630
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 5: been killed, who would that go to? In the event

631
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 5: of Charity's death.

632
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 10: It would go to John Powell. But Michael Pierce, the

633
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 10: attorney for be Alice, the next day made a motion

634
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 10: to dismiss the divorce so that it would all go

635
00:37:58,880 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 10: back to be Alice.

636
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 6: We have a legal team fighting that as we speak.

637
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 5: That photo of the mansion we got from our friends

638
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 5: over at five News.

639
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 3: Okay, explain that to me John, you're fighting.

640
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: Was it the day after her body was found, Doctor

641
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 2: b Allison?

642
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 5: Yes, correct, yes, what did you do regard to the

643
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 5: divorce proceeding?

644
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 6: Missed the divorce? So everything I'll go back to Beelis.

645
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 7: And that's what my man, my legal team have been

646
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 7: fighting to do is get control of my mom's body

647
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 7: and try to get Elanna and Maverick if we can,

648
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 7: and in proceed with the divorce case.

649
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 6: So all that will be through because it needs to be.

650
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 10: In the divorce decree, she was awarded half the property,

651
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 10: her car and some money. They were to sell the

652
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 10: house at auction and split the profits and her get

653
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 10: her car and some money. And he's trying to get dismissed.

654
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 10: I assume, so that doesn't happen.

655
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 5: So the divorce were still pending, then everything would go

656
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 5: to him, right, it's right, okay. Another thing you mentioned,

657
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 5: you're trying.

658
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 3: To get her body. Where is her body.

659
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 10: Punla Little Rock?

660
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 6: Yes? Currently he's still in the crime lab at Little Rock.

661
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 3: Why hasn't there been a few I have.

662
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 6: We couldn't do. They won't tell us.

663
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 10: They won't even tell us when or for hour i'mout

664
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 10: releasing the body.

665
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 6: You've heard nothing went out just as much as everyone else.

666
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just nothing.

667
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 5: Yet we wait as justice unfolds, If you know or
