True Sunlight TSP #140 - Charity Beallis Was Shot Twice, Sources Say. Did She Really Die By Suicide As Police Claim?
Why did police in Arkansas lie about Charity Beallis’ final divorce hearing in their latest press release in the case? After the Sebastian County Sheriffs Office released a strange statement indicating that Charity died by suicide and her 6-year-old twins died by homicide, investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dug into the records to find out exactly what happened in that hearing hours before Charity and her children died.
Sources say that Charity was shot twice on the evening of Dec. 2 in Bonanza, Arkansas. A new investigation reveals turmoil between the sheriff’s office and Charity before the murders and connections that make us suspicious of corruption.
While a police press release attempts to absolve Randy Beallis from the crime — which he has never been named a suspect of and says he was not responsible for the deaths of his family members — we still have questions.
