On today’s episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell share their latest reporting on the Charity Beallis case out of Bonanza, Arkansas.
In December — just a day after her final divorce hearing from Dr. Randy Beallis — Charity was found dead in her home next to her two 6-year-old twins, Maverick and Eliana. Dr. Beallis denied any involvement in the deaths of his soon-to-be ex-wife. And information about the investigation has not only been sparse … It’s bizarre.
Today — as they continue to seek answers in Charity’s case — Mandy and Liz look at the 2012 death of Shawna Beallis, Dr. Beallis’ second wife who also died of a gunshot wound. Shawna’s death was ultimately ruled a suicide. A look in the case file, however, raises serious questions about how the investigation into her death was conducted.Let’s Dive in… 🥽 🦈Episode Links
