Charity Beallis Warned She’d Be Killed — The System Ignored Her, Now Three Are Dead
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
For nine months, Charity Beallis told anyone who would listen that she was in danger. She reported strangulation. Filed for divorce. Got a protective order. Went to a state senator. Documented her fears online. She even posted research showing that victims who are strangled are 750% more likely to be murdered by their abuser.
But instead of protection, she got a court ruling awarding joint custody to the man she said she feared. Three days later, Charity and her six-year-old twins were found dead from gunshot wounds.
No one has been charged.
Federal agencies — including Homeland Security and the Secret Service — have joined the investigation. And now, the 2012 shooting death of the same man's first wife — ruled a suicide at the time, with evidence later destroyed — has been reopened.
Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins me to break down the behavioral indicators in this case, the system failures that may have placed Charity and her children at greater risk, and the patterns investigators look for when multiple deaths surround the same individual over time.
We discuss:
– Why strangulation is one of the strongest lethality predictors in domestic violence
– How victims often signal escalating danger long before systems recognize it
– Why courts prioritize parental rights even in high-risk domestic-violence cases
– How federal agencies approach complex or multi-jurisdictional investigations
– What reopening a prior death means behaviorally — not legally
– What investigators evaluate when someone’s partner has died in similar circumstances
– How abusers often use legal filings to assert control, even during investigations
– What professionals look for when interviewing someone connected to multiple deaths
This isn’t about speculation.
This is about patterns — behavioral, systemic, institutional — and why victims like Charity fall through the cracks even when they are shouting for help.
