- The killings occurred one day after a final divorce hearing at the Sebastian County Courthouse, according to local reports and court records.
- The sheriff’s office says search warrants have been executed and interviews are ongoing; autopsy results are pending and no arrests have been announced.
- Beallis filed for divorce in March seeking full custody and a protective order after her husband, Dr. Randall Beallis, was arrested on domestic violence charges.
- Court records show he pleaded guilty in October to third-degree battery from a February incident and received a suspended sentence and a no-contact order, while his attorney says the court had just awarded joint custody and has moved to dismiss the divorce case after her death.
