Arkansas mom found shot to death with two children wrote cryptic Facebook post months before killings

In a chilling turn of events, a woman and her two children were discovered dead in their Arkansas mansion, just months after she posted a mysterious message on Facebook.

Charity Beallis, 40, and her children were found with fatal gunshot wounds in their Bonanza, Arkansas home on December 3, following a welfare check by the Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office. This tragic discovery came just a day after the final divorce hearing between Charity and her estranged husband, Randall, as reported by 5 News.

The couple had a tumultuous history. On February 16, 2025, Randall allegedly assaulted Charity, according to the report. Although initially charged with aggravated assault on a family member, third-degree domestic battery, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, he later pleaded guilty to a single charge of third-degree battery in October.

As a result, Randall was handed a one-year suspended sentence and issued a no-contact order, prohibiting any interaction with Charity or her family—a measure that Charity consented to.

Charity initiated divorce proceedings in March, shortly after Randall’s arrest. The divorce documents reveal that the couple married in 2015 but had been living separately since February of this year.

Charity filed for divorce shortly after her husband was arrested. The divorce records indicate the two got married in 2015 and stopped living together in February.

In August, months after Randall was accused of choking Charity, she made a cryptic Facebook post, sharing screenshots to an article titled “If a partner has ever strangled you, they will likely kill you.”

“If a woman’s partner has ever strangled her, even once, her risk of being murdered by that same partner with a gun shoots up 750% compared to a woman who has never been strangled,” the Daily Press article shared by Charity states.

The wife and mother made a series of hashtags in the comment section of the post, including “#StopCorruption,” #JusticeForVictims,” #AccountabilityNow,” “#SystemicFailure” and more.

According to the outlet, Charity also made a comment on a 5 News article in August, where she wrote, “I’m living this battle right now. I am the victim, yet I’ve been treated like the problem while the criminal — a local doctor — is being shielded by the very system that’s supposed to protect us.”

“I’ve tried to reach Prosecuting Attorney … but he won’t even accept a letter from me. My voice, as the victim, has been shut out,” Charity wrote. “This is not just about me — this is about a system that protects offenders and rejects victims. Lives are at stake, including the lives of young children.”

The Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office wrote in an update on Tuesday that the United States Secret Service and Homeland Security Investigations are now among the agencies involved in the investigation.

A suspect hasn’t yet been named, deputies added, but said 12 search warrants are in progress and six have been served.

According to 40/29 News, deputies said Randall, who is a doctor in Arkansas, was not a suspect as of Friday.

Randall’s attorney told the outlet his client has been cooperative with law enforcement and fully supports the Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office investigation.

After Charity died, on Dec. 4, Randall’s attorney filed a motion to dismiss the divorce case. Charity was seeking full custody of the children.

Fox News Digital reached out to Randall’s attorney for comment.
