Speaker 1: School of Humans. Helen Got Murder Line actively investigates cold
Speaker 1: case murders in an effort to raise public awareness invite
Speaker 1: witnesses to come forward and present evidence that could potentially
Speaker 1: be further investigated by law enforcement. While we value insights
Speaker 1: from family and community members, their statements should not be
Speaker 1: considered evidence and point to the challenges of verifying facts
Speaker 1: inherent in cold cases. We remind listeners that everyone has
Speaker 1: presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Speaker 1: is guilty of any wrongdoing. Thanks for listening.
Speaker 2: On December third, twenty twenty five, at around nine thirty am,
Speaker 2: deputies in Sebastian County, Arkansas, were called to a home
Speaker 2: on South First Avenue in Bonanza to do a welfare
Speaker 2: check on a family. The original call went into the
Speaker 2: Sebastian County Sheriff's office, but since the address in the
Speaker 2: eleven hundred block of First Avenue was within Bonanza city limits,
Speaker 2: the Bonanza Police Department also showed up to assist. Bonanza
Speaker 2: is way out in West Arkansas. It has a population
Speaker 2: of a little over six hundred. It's just a few
Speaker 2: minutes drive from the Oklahoma border. A local doctor, doctor
Speaker 2: Randy Bealis, lived in the home along with his six
Speaker 2: year old twins, a boy and a girl, and his
Speaker 2: forty year old wife, Charity Bealis. Randall Bellis had worked
Speaker 2: as a local doctor for decades. Charity described herself on
Speaker 2: social media as a domestic engineer, and her main focus
Speaker 2: seemed to be being a mom to her twins. When
Speaker 2: law enforcement got there, they were unable to get inside.
Speaker 2: They found two domestic workers to let them in, and
Speaker 2: it didn't take them long to find a horrific scene.
Speaker 2: Three bodies, Charity, her little son, and her daughter. All
Speaker 2: three of them had been fatally shot. Who could have
Speaker 2: come in and annihilated this family right before Christmas? It
Speaker 2: didn't take long for police to focus on Charity and
Speaker 2: Randall's bitter divorce, and then on allegations of past mysterious deaths,
Speaker 2: child abuse, domestic abuse, and a horrific situation that was
Speaker 2: unfolding behind closed doors.

Speaker 2: twenty twenty. Five randall moved out In, february and since
Speaker 2: Then charity had been posting on social, media writing multiple
Speaker 2: posts about domestic abusers killing their. Wives, NOW i should
Speaker 2: say The Sebastian County Sheriff's office has not Named randall

Speaker 2: statements through his attorney denying any involvement in the deaths
Speaker 2: of his wife and. Children according to his, Attorney randall

Speaker 2: February charity took out a restraining order Against. Randall she
Speaker 2: filed for divorce the following. Month she argued she should
Speaker 2: have sole custody of the twins due to the nature
Speaker 2: of the restraining, order but from her social media, post
Speaker 2: it appears as Though charity absolutely felt that she was
Speaker 2: still in. Danger In, August charity posted a comment to
Speaker 2: a local news story On. Facebook it read, Quote i'm
Speaker 2: living this battle right. NOW i am the victim Yet
Speaker 2: i've been treated like the, problem while the, criminal a local,

Speaker 2: course because these Are charity's family, members we have to
Speaker 2: always remember when we're reading about this, case we are

Speaker 2: the months before her, Death charity was reaching out for.
Speaker 2: Help he said she was very frustrated by the fact

Speaker 2: had stalked her and that he had hacked into her,
Speaker 2: devices and that he hired private investigators to Follow. Charity john,
Speaker 2: said quote she contacted everybody that she could get in contact.

Speaker 2: the main focus of her life was her, faith which
Speaker 2: she appeared to have rediscovered in the months since her
Speaker 2: split With. Randall it turns out That john had had
Speaker 2: confrontations over the.
Speaker 3: Years With randall and with his.
Speaker 2: Mom during the time When john was living at home
Speaker 2: With randall And charity and working after graduating from high,
Speaker 2: School john alleged That randal And charity slashed his truck

Speaker 2: Incident in the, Video randal can be seen Slashing john's
Speaker 2: tires on the truck that was registered In john's name

Speaker 2: in that. Relationship since the case has made national, news
Speaker 2: the triple homicide has focused public attention on another, case
Speaker 2: the death Of randall's second, wife Shan A, graham a
Speaker 2: thirty four year old licensed practical, nurse back in twenty.
Speaker 2: Twelve in twenty, Twelve shawna died. Violently her cause of
Speaker 2: death was a gunshot wound to the.
Speaker 3: Head her death was.
Speaker 2: Ruled a, suicide but some Of shawna's family members have
Speaker 2: posted on social media there were irregularities In shawna's crime.
Speaker 2: Scene they say that they Suspected randall was involved in her.
Speaker 2: Death The Daily mail interviewed one Of shawna's relatives who
Speaker 2: told the publication That, shawna quote.
Speaker 3: Had too much to live.
Speaker 2: For she was late charity end quote and they claimed
Speaker 2: that Because randall was a prominent, doctor they believe that's
Speaker 2: why he wasn't questioned. Further, now, obviously again we have
Speaker 2: to consider this could be. Biased this was a friend Of.
Speaker 2: Shawna's shawna's, Mother Teresa, graham has been posting on social
Speaker 2: media for a long time about her suspicions regarding the
Speaker 2: circumstances Of shawna's. Death some Of shawna's family members have
Speaker 2: Told The Daily mail that they believe That, shawna contrary
Speaker 2: to What randall told, them did not suffer from depression
Speaker 2: to the degree that he. Claimed they also Said shauna
Speaker 2: always took pride in her, appearance so they found it
Speaker 2: very unlikely she would choose to end her own life
Speaker 2: by shooting herself in the. Forehead shawna's family members have
Speaker 2: stated they would like for her case to be. Reopened,
Speaker 2: however we checked and found, that in accordance with local,
Speaker 2: law the files on suicides are. Destroyed shawna's case file
Speaker 2: was destroyed in twenty. Fourteen On december, fourth one day
Speaker 2: after his ex wife and children were found, Dead randall's

Speaker 2: Well he's trying to take control of his mother's portion
Speaker 2: of the. Estate jawn said he was devastated by his
Speaker 2: mother's death and the deaths of his half siblings.
Speaker 3: As this court battle rages.
Speaker 2: On we're going to take a look at the timeline
Speaker 2: Of randal And charity's, marriage but first we have to
Speaker 2: go back and take a look At randall's romantic. History
Speaker 2: in our, research we found That randall's first, Wife, donna
Speaker 2: was a doctor In Fort. Smith randal And donna had
Speaker 2: three children, together but eventually the relationship fell. Apart they
Speaker 2: divorced in twenty. Ten sometime around that, Time randall got
Speaker 2: involved With. Shauna we're not sure of the exact timeline
Speaker 2: of when he And shauna got. Together according to her,
Speaker 2: family they had been together for a couple of, years
Speaker 2: at least at the time of her death in twenty.
Speaker 2: Twelve shawna's mother has claimed That randal And charity's relationship
Speaker 2: overlapped With shauna's and that they were having an.
Speaker 3: Affair she's actually.
Speaker 2: Posted messages on social media implying she believes that both of,
Speaker 2: Them randal And, charity might have been in on her daughter's.
Speaker 2: Death so that begs the question what was the story
Speaker 2: At shawna's crime scene and what happened in her And randall's.
Speaker 2: Marriage shawna died On january, fifth twenty. Twelve she was
Speaker 2: thirty four years. Old her cause of death was a gunshot,
