True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews

Charity Beallis and her six-year-old twins were found shot to death in Bonanza, Arkansas on December 3rd. Her father says he viewed her body at the morgue—shot twice, chest and between the eyes. Two months have passed. No one has been arrested.
The timeline: Divorce from Randall Beallis finalized December 2nd. Joint custody awarded. Children scheduled to return to him December 5th. Bodies found December 3rd.
Defense attorney Eric Faddis joins True Crime Today to break down what the investigative silence means, how two-shot suicides are analyzed legally and medically, and what the defense playbook looks like when documented history this extensive exists.
Randall Beallis was arrested in February 2025 for allegedly strangling Charity in front of their children. Felony charges were reduced. Child maltreatment was substantiated for both twins months later. His attorney says he's cooperating and is not responsible for the deaths.
There's prior history. Randall's second wife Shawna was found dead in 2012 with a gunshot wound to the forehead. Ruled suicide. The case was reopened in 2021 and closed again—evidence had been destroyed pursuant to court order.
Three days after Charity and the twins were found, family photos and a necklace with the children's names were discovered in a dumpster at an address connected to Randall through court records.
Investigators have said almost nothing since December 9th. The sheriff's office told media in January they have "no new information to share."
A mother shot twice. Two children dead. A custody deadline one day away. A prior wife's death ruled suicide under similar circumstances. Items discarded at a connected address.
Eric Faddis explains what legal threshold hasn't been met—and what whoever did this should be thinking two months into silence.

Investigators have now laid out the most detailed timeline of the night Nancy Guthrie was taken. Her doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 AM. Camera software registered a person at 2:12 AM — but there is no footage because Nancy had no cloud subscription. Her pacemaker app disconnected from her phone at 2:28 AM. From first intrusion signal to last digital trace: forty-one minutes.
Thursday's press conference brought significant corrections to earlier reporting. The Pima County Sheriff denied forced entry and confirmed no cameras were smashed or destroyed. The doorbell camera was disconnected and has been forensically processed with no recoverable video. Ransom notes sent to media outlets referenced specific items — an Apple Watch and a floodlight — but no proof of life accompanied them. No follow-up communication has come in. The FBI confirmed one arrest for an imposter ransom demand and announced a fifty-thousand-dollar reward.
On True Crime Today, Robin Dreeke — former FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — walks through the behavioral evidence. The deliberate disconnection of the camera. The knowledge of Nancy's subscription status. The decision to contact media instead of family. The sustained silence as a woman who needs daily medication to survive enters day five without it. Dreeke applies decades of FBI behavioral training to the patterns that are emerging — and explains what those patterns tell investigators about who they should be looking for.

Federal versus state prosecution remains an open question. FBI involvement suggests possible federal charges, which typically carry different sentencing structures than Arizona state court.
Nancy's vulnerability factors heavily into any eventual sentencing. At 84, with limited mobility and medication needs the sheriff described as potentially fatal to miss, her condition elevates the stakes for whoever is charged.
Eric Faddis analyzes the legal landscape surrounding one of the most high-profile kidnapping cases in years.

With jury selection starting February 10th, 2026, the Kouri Richins murder case is entering its final phase. The Utah mother is charged with fatally poisoning her husband Eric with fentanyl, then authoring a children's book about grief. Recent pretrial hearings have addressed witness credibility, the admissibility of jailhouse letters, and whether Eric's high school drug use can be presented to jurors.
But there's a glaring gap in the evidence conversation.
Hair follicle analysis — a forensic tool capable of revealing months of drug use history — could definitively answer whether Eric Richins was a secret fentanyl user or the victim of acute poisoning. The science can distinguish between chronic exposure and a single lethal dose. It's been used in criminal cases worldwide to establish exactly this kind of timeline.
The defense has characterized Eric as a partier who consumed substances freely. The prosecution says the circumstantial evidence points to premeditated murder. But neither characterization is definitive. Hair analysis could be.
We don't know whether such evidence was collected during the autopsy. We don't know Eric's burial status. What we do know is that in the public filings and hearings, this forensic option hasn't been raised — even as both sides battle over the credibility of a drug dealer who has now changed his story about what he actually sold.
Today's episode examines what's at stake as this trial approaches, what forensic science could offer that witness testimony cannot, and why the most important evidence in this case may never see a courtroom.
Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty. She is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Monique Tepe allegedly knew for eight years that her ex-husband had threatened to kill her. She divorced Michael McKee in 2017 after just seven months of marriage. Witnesses told investigators he strangled her, forced unwanted sex, told her he could end her life. She never filed a public report. She rebuilt everything — new husband, two kids, a life. On December 30th, she and Spencer were found dead in their Columbus home. McKee pleaded not guilty despite surveillance footage, a ballistics match, and documented threats.
Mica Miller made fourteen police reports in her final months. Reported GPS trackers, harassment, fear for her life. Told her family if she ended up with a bullet in her head, it wasn't her. Two days after serving Pastor JP Miller divorce papers, she was dead. Ruled suicide. JP just pleaded not guilty to federal cyberstalking while the indictment alleges tracking devices, a nude photo posted without consent, fifty-plus contacts in one day, and lies to investigators.
Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — author of "The Minds of Mass Killers" and a DV survivor herself — connects these cases. She explains the psychological burden of living under threat, why victims don't report, how coercive controllers weaponize systems against their targets, and the forensic profile of defendants who treat prosecution as competition. Two women. Two failures. One pattern.
