Autopsy confirmed the cause of death of an Arkansas mom and her two kids last December was amurder-suicide.
Bonanza City resident Charity Beallis, 40, murdered her two children and killed herself on 2 December 2025, the Sebastian County Sheriff's Office announced in a statement. Per theFacebook post, 'the autopsy conducted by the Arkansas State Crime Lab has a conclusion of suicide for Mrs. Beallis and homicide for the two children.'
The Sheriff's Office confirmed that they have yet to find any evidence suggesting the crime was not amurder-suicide. It's still an ongoing investigation, pending electronic forensic data obtained from Beallis' residence.
On the day of the incident, responding police noted evidence consistent with the autopsy result.
Using her phone, Beallis deactivated the home security alarm at around 10:00pm, per the statement. All the doors and windows were closed when police arrived at the residence on 3 December 9:30am. All of the house's access points also passed rigorous testing.
According to court documents obtained by5News, Charity expressed growing concerns for herself and her children. On 16 February 2025, Randall Beallis, Charity's estranged husband, allegedly strangled her in front of her children inside their home. Charity filed for divorce on 5 March.
Per the outlet, Charity requested full custody of the children because his husband was already charged with domestic violence. A court order had also banned Randall from contacting Charity and their children.
Randall was initially charged with aggravated assault on a family member, third-degree domestic battery, and two counts of third-degree endangering a minor, according to a criminal information sheet filed in March 2025.
The charges were reduced to third-degree battery in October 2025. Randall pleaded guilty to that charge. He was ordered not to contact Charity or any member of her family without a court order.
In August 2025, Charity expressed her fears in a 5News Facebook post about the case. '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,' she wrote in a comment to the post.
