Arkansas mother killed herself at mansion where her twins, six, were also found murdered after abusive doctor husband refused to halt divorce

One Arkansas The mother killed herself in her mansion 24 hours after divorcing her abusive doctor husband; His young twins were also found dead next to him, both murdered.

Charity Beallis’ cause of death was released by the Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday, almost three months after her death. River Valley Democrat Newspaper reported.

The sheriff’s office also said Charity wanted to reconcile with her husband, and the three were found dead less than 24 hours after her husband refused and the divorce was finalized. 5news reported.

No further information was given as to whether he killed his six-year-old twins, a boy named Maverick and a girl named Eliana, as part of the murder suicide. More details are expected at a later date.

There have been no arrests regarding the children’s deaths.

The trio met with Charity’s 56-year-old Dr. She was found dead in the sprawling $750,000 Colonial-style home in Bonanza in December, less than 24 hours after she finalized her separation from Randall Beallis.

Beallis was convicted of assault last year after admitting to strangling Charity in front of her children.

His previous wife also died of a gunshot wound in 2012, but her death was ruled a suicide.

Court records show Charity sought full custody of the twins and obtained a protective order against Beallis, citing his history of abuse.

The gruesome discovery was made at Beallis’ $750,000 home in Bonanza, Arkansas.

Details of the custody decision have not been made public, but Charity’s lawyer told the Daily Mail that she was unsuccessful in that effort, and at a final hearing on December 2, the judge awarded joint custody.

In her final text exchange with her eldest son, John Powell, Charity expressed her hopes for a future away from Beallis, beyond the years of abuse her family claims she had to endure.

“He was going to move somewhere else, get a good job and give his kids a good life,” Powell previously told the Daily Mail.

‘Then hopefully one day she wanted to be a good grandmother and enjoy the things a normal family would want.’

Powell claimed Charity repeatedly admitted to being “horrified” of her husband in the months before her death.

‘He was always worried something would happen,’ he said. ‘She was fighting hard to protect her children.’

Court records show Charity obtained a restraining order against Beallis in February 2025 after he attacked her at her home. She filed for divorce the following month, and Beallis later pleaded guilty to domestic battery and received a suspended sentence.

Powell and Charity’s father, Randy Powell, said they did not believe Charity would harm their children.

“I can’t imagine my mother shooting a gun and killing my little brother and sister when I was six,” the younger Powell said.

‘He was terrified and hoped he could get out of there safe and get on with his life as the person he always wanted to be.’

Charity’s ex-husband, Dr. Randall Beallis was convicted of battery last year after admitting to strangling her in front of her children.

Three days after they were found dead, a trash diver sifting through trash 15 miles away in Fort Smith found a trash bag full of Charity’s belongings and other special family memorabilia, including photos and a gold necklace engraved with the children’s names.

It is not yet known how the items were destroyed.

Investigators with the Sebastian County Sheriff’s Office also called the discovery a ‘red flag’ but declined to provide further details.

Beallis, who has been a licensed family physician in Arkansas for nearly two decades, has faced numerous complaints about his family, which were reviewed by the Arkansas State Medical Board, according to records first obtained by the 5News show.

In January 2018, the board reprimanded Beallis for prescribing opioid medication to Charity following a surgery; He later acknowledged that this behavior was inappropriate. He faced no disciplinary action.

The board re-examined Beallis in February 2021 following a dispute involving Charity’s son, John Powell, in which Beallis and Charity were accused of slashing the teenager’s truck tires with a knife during an argument.

Beallis later pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of criminal mischief and received a suspended sentence. The health board again did not take any action.

Beallis appeared before the board again last year after Charity made domestic violence charges, claiming he assaulted her in front of their children.

In written responses, Beallis denied the allegations, saying the incident arose from a dispute over her phone and emphasized that he never strangled or strangled her.

He later pleaded guilty to third-degree battery and was given a suspended sentence.

No disciplinary action was taken against Beallis when Charity and the children were found dead. State records show his medical license remains active and is set to expire in February 2027.
