On December 3, 2025, Charity Beallis and her six-year-old twins, Eliana and Maverick, were found dead from gunshot wounds inside their home in Bonanza, Arkansas. The discovery came just one day after Charity lost a contentious custody battle with her estranged husband, Dr. Randall Beallis—a man she had previously accused of strangling her in front of their children.
The national headlines moved fast. An abusive marriage. A dead mother. A broken system. Case closed.
But the documents tell a far more disturbing—and far more complicated—story.
Court filings and police records reveal a long, volatile history on both sides of this family. A 2021 police report states that Charity’s own father told investigators she confessed to shooting Randall’s previous wife—who died from a gunshot wound to the forehead in 2012 in a death officially ruled a suicide. Charity was arrested in 2013 for aggravated assault with a firearm. Her father once went to court alleging she posed a danger to her firstborn child. That same teenage son later sued for emancipation from both parents, claiming they slashed his tires while holding the infant twins.
Two parents. Two children. A documented history of violence. Allegations that were never fully resolved. And now, three lives lost.
Despite the magnitude of the case, there has been no arrest, no named suspect, and no publicly confirmed cause of death.
