WEBVTT - Hell and Gone Murder Line: Charity Beallis Pt. 1

0:00:46.480 --> 0:00:51.961
<v Speaker 1>School of Humans. Helen Got Murder Line actively investigates cold

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.361
<v Speaker 1>case murders in an effort to raise public awareness invite

0:00:55.401 --> 0:00:58.761
<v Speaker 1>witnesses to come forward and present evidence that could potentially

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.961
<v Speaker 1>be further investigated by law enforcement. While we value insights

0:01:03.001 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>from family and community members, their statements should not be

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.961
<v Speaker 1>considered evidence and point to the challenges of verifying facts

0:01:10.041 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>inherent in cold cases. We remind listeners that everyone has

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 1>presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

0:01:17.961 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Nothing in the podcast is intended to state or imply

0:01:21.041 --> 0:01:23.601
<v Speaker 1>that anyone who has not been convicted of a crime

0:01:24.121 --> 0:01:27.121
<v Speaker 1>is guilty of any wrongdoing. Thanks for listening.

0:01:30.441 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 2>On December third, twenty twenty five, at around nine thirty am,

0:01:35.121 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 2>deputies in Sebastian County, Arkansas, were called to a home

0:01:39.041 --> 0:01:42.161
<v Speaker 2>on South First Avenue in Bonanza to do a welfare

0:01:42.241 --> 0:01:45.241
<v Speaker 2>check on a family. The original call went into the

0:01:45.281 --> 0:01:48.961
<v Speaker 2>Sebastian County Sheriff's office, but since the address in the

0:01:49.001 --> 0:01:52.801
<v Speaker 2>eleven hundred block of First Avenue was within Bonanza city limits,

0:01:53.081 --> 0:01:57.881
<v Speaker 2>the Bonanza Police Department also showed up to assist. Bonanza

0:01:58.001 --> 0:02:00.961
<v Speaker 2>is way out in West Arkansas. It has a population

0:02:01.121 --> 0:02:03.641
<v Speaker 2>of a little over six hundred. It's just a few

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:07.681
<v Speaker 2>minutes drive from the Oklahoma border. A local doctor, doctor

0:02:07.761 --> 0:02:10.561
<v Speaker 2>Randy Bealis, lived in the home along with his six

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.921
<v Speaker 2>year old twins, a boy and a girl, and his

0:02:13.041 --> 0:02:18.081
<v Speaker 2>forty year old wife, Charity Bealis. Randall Bellis had worked

0:02:18.121 --> 0:02:22.241
<v Speaker 2>as a local doctor for decades. Charity described herself on

0:02:22.321 --> 0:02:25.761
<v Speaker 2>social media as a domestic engineer, and her main focus

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.641
<v Speaker 2>seemed to be being a mom to her twins. When

0:02:29.761 --> 0:02:32.641
<v Speaker 2>law enforcement got there, they were unable to get inside.

0:02:33.201 --> 0:02:36.041
<v Speaker 2>They found two domestic workers to let them in, and

0:02:36.121 --> 0:02:39.721
<v Speaker 2>it didn't take them long to find a horrific scene.

0:02:39.921 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Three bodies, Charity, her little son, and her daughter. All

0:02:44.441 --> 0:02:48.481
<v Speaker 2>three of them had been fatally shot. Who could have

0:02:48.561 --> 0:02:53.441
<v Speaker 2>come in and annihilated this family right before Christmas? It

0:02:53.521 --> 0:02:56.561
<v Speaker 2>didn't take long for police to focus on Charity and

0:02:56.641 --> 0:03:01.321
<v Speaker 2>Randall's bitter divorce, and then on allegations of past mysterious deaths,

0:03:01.721 --> 0:03:05.921
<v Speaker 2>child abuse, domestic abuse, and a horrific situation that was

0:03:06.001 --> 0:03:08.601
<v Speaker 2>unfolding behind closed doors.

0:03:08.401 --> 0:03:12.041
<v Speaker 3>In West Arkansas. I'm Catherine Townsend.

<v Speaker 2>Over the past seven years of making my true crime podcast,

0:03:15.441 --> 0:03:18.041

0:03:18.201 --> 0:03:22.041
<v Speaker 2>as a small town where murdered never happens. I've received

0:03:22.161 --> 0:03:25.361
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of messages from people all around the country asking

0:03:25.401 --> 0:03:28.801
<v Speaker 2>for help with an unsolved murder that's affected them, their families,

0:03:29.161 --> 0:03:32.481

<v Speaker 2>On we're going to take a look at the timeline

0:14:45.641 --> 0:14:49.441
<v Speaker 2>Of randal And charity's, marriage but first we have to

0:14:49.521 --> 0:14:58.281
<v Speaker 2>go back and take a look At randall's romantic. History

0:15:00.721 --> 0:15:04.641
<v Speaker 2>in our, research we found That randall's first, Wife, donna

0:15:04.921 --> 0:15:08.121
<v Speaker 2>was a doctor In Fort. Smith randal And donna had

0:15:08.161 --> 0:15:12.401
<v Speaker 2>three children, together but eventually the relationship fell. Apart they

0:15:12.441 --> 0:15:17.201
<v Speaker 2>divorced in twenty. Ten sometime around that, Time randall got

0:15:17.201 --> 0:15:21.121
<v Speaker 2>involved With. Shauna we're not sure of the exact timeline

0:15:21.121 --> 0:15:23.761
<v Speaker 2>of when he And shauna got. Together according to her,

0:15:23.801 --> 0:15:26.521
<v Speaker 2>family they had been together for a couple of, years

0:15:26.561 --> 0:15:28.841
<v Speaker 2>at least at the time of her death in twenty.

0:15:28.921 --> 0:15:34.321
<v Speaker 2>Twelve shawna's mother has claimed That randal And charity's relationship

0:15:34.521 --> 0:15:36.721
<v Speaker 2>overlapped With shauna's and that they were having an.

0:15:36.721 --> 0:15:39.041
<v Speaker 3>Affair she's actually.

0:15:38.681 --> 0:15:41.961
<v Speaker 2>Posted messages on social media implying she believes that both of,

0:15:42.001 --> 0:15:45.681
<v Speaker 2>Them randal And, charity might have been in on her daughter's.

0:15:45.681 --> 0:15:50.201

<v Speaker 3>Bedroom.

0:25:34.601 --> 0:25:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Back on the following, Day january, sixth another officer looked

0:25:39.241 --> 0:25:42.601
<v Speaker 2>inside the walking closet in the master. Bedroom they found

0:25:42.641 --> 0:25:45.481
<v Speaker 2>a black and gray under armour jacket with an unknown

0:25:45.561 --> 0:25:48.881
<v Speaker 2>reddish stain on the left. Sleeve the jacket was turned

<v Speaker 2>into the crime lab so that it could be tested for,

0:25:50.961 --> 0:25:54.241
<v Speaker 2>blood but there is nothing in the report about what

0:25:54.361 --> 0:25:57.001

<v Speaker 3>Any in this police.

0:26:00.601 --> 0:26:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Report in my, opinion it seems like some of the

0:26:04.001 --> 0:26:08.521

0:26:09.161 --> 0:26:12.321
<v Speaker 2>there was also evidence in the apartment that police found

0:26:13.241 --> 0:26:16.841

0:29:50.601 --> 0:29:53.641
<v Speaker 2>told police That grace was asking him a lot of

0:29:53.681 --> 0:29:57.481
<v Speaker 2>strange and intrusive, questions including if he was Protecting shauna

0:29:57.561 --> 0:30:00.681
<v Speaker 2>for any, reason what his relationship With shawna, was was

0:30:00.721 --> 0:30:05.361

<v Speaker 2>that he would Hunt randal down and kill him and

<v Speaker 2>no one would know who did. It brian said he

0:30:17.601 --> 0:30:20.921
<v Speaker 2>became uneasy with this line of questioning and stopped answering the,
