From the above article...
Charity’s father, Randy Powell, said there was no doubt in Charity’s mind that her ex-husband was going to kill her.

Randy said there was no one else that had any reason to harm Charity or her children. He said he believes Randall killed Charity for financial gain and because of hatred.

Who calls their divorce attorney to file a motion within a day of their wife and children being found shot to death? I get that the couple were divorcing, but seriously?? Doc’s first priority was to have the divorce dismissed??

JMO

IMO someone who wants to save money on his divorce attorney for something else?

The timing of this murder was incredibly financially advantageous to Dr. Randy because there wasn’t a final divorce decree yet.
If Charity was still alive, she would have received half of Dr. Randy’s assets accumulated over the past 12 years of marriage during the final decree.
If she was murdered AFTER the final decree, Charity’s half of the money would go to the son she had when she was 16 years old.
It’s amazing that now Dr. Randy will get to keep all of his money and not have to give half to Charity’s survivors since she was killed before the divorce was finalized.

It is fascinating that there hasn’t been an arrest yet.

Anyone who kills innocent children is a special kind of evil. Demonic, psychopathic evil.

I have to wonder if he hired it out, which may complicate things a little bit.

I have also wondered that. He knows he will be the first one looked at.

Yeah, I'd be super interested to see if he has a solid alibi or not. This one is a bit weird, as we don't typically see the kids killed in these types of cases.

 

[tlcya]

IF this was a intimate partner murder and the killer is a certain personality type IYKWIM, he might view the children more as possessions that outlived their usefulness. Wouldn't be the first time, surely won't be the last.

Beallis’s estranged husband, Dr. Randall Beallis, was arrested in February for choking his wife in front of their children. He pleaded guilty to third-degree battery in October and received a one-year suspended sentence and was ordered to pay over $1,500 in fines, 5NEWS reported.

Shawna Jeanette Graham Beallis
Apparently he had 4 other children from previous relationships?

Interesting obituary for Shawna
Never mentions that she’s a WIFE just a good mom,daughter,sister.
Written by her family without his input?
Trouble in paradise before “suicide”??

Odds GREATLY against her dying at 34 years old and leaving a little girl behind.
Who raised daughter Bella?
So many questions I have here….
Would love to hear what wife #1 and older children have to say…..

Who investigates these things?
I think some small town detectives may not be best equipped to determine suicide vs homicide made to look like suicide??

Thinking of all the times “suicide” may not be what it looks like.
Even very wealthy, influential families sometimes have to FIGHT for the right
investigation. Look at Barry and Honey for example….

All IMHO

Does any one have any confirmed MSM link stating that CB was at the final hearing and, if so, do we know who was favored in the judgement?? I'm hearing conflicting info online. TIA

There were some letter and documents added today. I can’t open them for some reason, perhaps someone else can?

In legal terms, nunc pro tunc is a Latin phrase meaning "now for then," which allows a court to correct an order or judgment retroactively to an earlier date. This correction is used to fix clerical mistakes or omissions so that the official record accurately reflects what the court decided or what should have been done at an earlier time. The goal is not to change the court's past decision, but to make sure the record is accurate and fair.

Interesting legal foot-race going on ... his attorney filed a motion to dimiss the divorce decree, less than 24 hours after Charity died!

Now Charity's son John obtained an attorney and is seeking a retroactively dated divorce ruling be filed.

I assume this is about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ - the house and perhaps life insurance policies? Although, she likely changed the beneficiaries earlier this year, since she was in fear for her life.

Seems to be a lot of family fighting over money.
Any of them caring about a mother and two 6 year olds that were shot dead?

Most likely, her son and her parents do at the least. Even though there's the incident about the tire slashing and his emancipation, he has spoken with love and admiration for his mom since. He's also stated he was with her at his sisters' births (or shortly after), held them, and cared for them over time. Evil stepdaddy may have made the relationship untenable for a responsible 17 year old who went to school, worked, and was able to buy a very nice truck and maintain it. I'd be curious where he lived after he was granted emancipation.

It was evil stepdaddy that stated in the tire slashing that he was "acting like a parent". He clearly had a gigantic control problem and he clearly felt he was ENTITLED to violence and destruction of another's property.

In any event, this woman's estate, who had just been granted a hard fought for divorce, should NOT be left in its entirety to her EX husband even IF he had nothing to do with the heinous murder of her and their 2 children.

He's very close with his maternal Grandparents, matter of fact he's named after his Grandfather. Fairly certain he moved in with them after the 2020 tire puncturing event.

IMO, the 12/2 bench ruling will stand. The rush to file the divorce dismissal was shady as hell.

Mr. Beallis’ Attorney statement is in the comments at link.

I’m curious why CB had less time with the kids, per the final decree? Interesting plot twist and I now have questions. Possibility all is not as it would seem in this case?

I wonder what people in the area thought of him as a doctor, and how he treated nurses and other medical personnel.

We don't know if its the case here but sometimes if its been found a parent has unfairly withheld the children from their other parent and/or practiced parental alienation, a family court judge will give the denied parent more time to "equalize" the periods of denial.

And then again, it might be huge bias on the part of the judge due to the father's "position" in life.

Was this schedule an ongoing long term rolling 2 weeks with dad, 1 week with mom, followed by another 2 weeks with dad then 1 week with mom? That seems to be an unusual schedule.

And the reason Charity's father was denied any and all contact with these children??? There must be something pretty serious and well documented for a judge to do that. Unless, of course, the judge is just crooked as he//.
