Charity Beallis Warned She’d Be Killed — The System Ignored Her, Now Three Are Dead

The Netflix documentary "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" presents some of the most damning allegations ever made against the disgraced music mogul — and the most explosive involve two murders that changed hip-hop forever. In this breakdown, we examine the documentary's claims about Diddy's alleged role in the deaths of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G., including never-before-heard audio from Keefe D's 2008 proffer session where he alleges Combs offered a million-dollar bounty on Tupac and Suge Knight. We walk through the testimony of Bad Boy co-founder Kirk Burrowes, who kept detailed journals during his years at the label and now claims Combs was "insanely jealous" of Biggie and Tupac's friendship.  Burrowes alleges Combs cancelled Biggie's London trip and kept him in Los Angeles despite the danger — and that after Biggie was killed, Combs allegedly tried to charge the funeral costs back to the dead rapper's estate. We also cover the response from Biggie's estate manager Wayne Barrow, who denies the funeral allegation entirely. The documentary raises a disturbing question: did Combs lose a friend, or build an empire on tragedy? Sean Combs has denied all involvement in both murders and has never been charged. Keefe D's trial is scheduled for 2026. This is Crime Weekly's full breakdown of the allegations, the evidence, and what it all means. #Diddy #SeanCombs #TheReckoning #Tupac #NotoriousBIG #Biggie #CrimeWeekly #TrueCrime #Netflix #HipHop Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jesse Butler wasn’t the monster people warn their daughters about. He was the boyfriend parents trusted. Flowers, church, country clubs, family dinners — the whole Norman Rockwell starter kit. And according to investigators, behind that perfectly polished image was a pattern of calculated violence that nearly killed two teenage girls. In this interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke breaks down how someone like Butler operates in plain sight — how predators build charm, weaponize trust, and calibrate threats to keep victims silent. We walk through the behavioral markers, the escalation from love-bombing to violence, and why strangulation is one of the most chilling predictors of future lethal behavior. We also look at the bodycam moment where Butler’s mother immediately coaches him — and what that interaction reveals about the ecosystem that allows someone this dangerous to thrive. And as Stacy points out, strangulation requires sustained, intentional effort. What does that tell us about motive, psychology, and risk moving forward? If you’re a parent, guardian, or young adult — this is a conversation you cannot afford to skip. #JesseButlerCase #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #DatingViolence #VictimSupport #StrangulationRisk #JusticeForSurvivors Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This episode of Hidden Killers brings together three troubling, psychologically revealing stories — each offering a unique window into manipulation, identity, and the way families and offenders construct narratives to protect themselves. We begin with Bryan Kohberger’s reported self-harm threats inside Idaho Maximum Security Institution. He’s allegedly telling staff he’ll “harm himself” if they don’t move him out of J-Block — a threat strategically worded, attached to conditions, and deployed after earlier complaints didn’t get traction. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the psychology behind conditional threats, escalation patterns, and why institutions must take every claim seriously even when manipulation is suspected. From there, we move into Kohberger’s serial-killer outreach — his attempts to connect with high-profile offenders rather than family or supporters. Shavaun helps us understand what this reveals about identity, belonging, status, and the collapse of the image he expected to maintain inside prison. When inmates respond with contempt instead of fascination, the psychological fallout can be profound. Finally, we shift to the Anna Kepner cruise-ship case, where conflicting accounts from adults and teens highlight the distance between family myth and emotional reality. Parents describe harmony; teens describe aggression. Shavaun walks us through why teenagers often perceive danger more clearly than adults, how aggression becomes normalized, and why blended families are especially vulnerable to maintaining a narrative that doesn’t match the truth. Across all three segments, one theme emerges: when reality doesn’t match the story someone needs to believe, the mind works overtime to bridge the gap — sometimes through manipulation, sometimes through denial, and sometimes through sheer grandiosity. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #AnnaKepner #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonPsychology #FamilyDynamics #SerialOffenders #TonyBrueski #CriminalMindset Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Charity Beallis did everything right. She reported the abuse. She filed for divorce. She got a protective order. She went to a state senator and told him her husband was going to kill her. She reportedly pleaded with local police. She posted publicly on social media, naming the case number, begging someone to listen. The system heard her. And then the system gave her husband joint custody of their six-year-old twins. Twenty-four hours later, Charity and both children were found shot to death in their Bonanza, Arkansas home. Dr. Randall Beallis was arrested in February 2025 for allegedly choking Charity in front of their kids. He was charged with aggravated assault and child endangerment. By October, those charges were reduced to misdemeanor battery. He got a suspended sentence and walked free. On December 2nd, a judge awarded him joint custody. On December 3rd, his wife and children were dead. On December 4th, his attorney filed to dismiss the divorce. No one has been arrested. No charges have been filed. Dr. Beallis denies any involvement and says he is cooperating with investigators. But this isn't the first time questions have surrounded a death in Dr. Beallis's life. His previous wife, Shawna, died from a reported gunshot wound in 2012 at age 34. It was ruled a suicide. According to accounts now surfacing, her family never believed that ruling. Two wives. Both mothers. Both reportedly dead from gunshots. Thirteen years apart. Charity saw what was coming. She screamed it from the rooftops. The system failed her at every turn. This is her story. #CharityBeallis #RandallBeallis #BonanzaArkansas #TrueCrime #DomesticViolence #SystemFailed #JusticeForCharity #ShawnaBeallis #ArkansasCrime #CustodyBattle Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner aboard a cruise ship has left behind a trail of conflicting stories — and at the center of it is a blended family dynamic that now looks very different depending on who’s doing the talking. Parents and grandparents describe harmony, closeness, and three teenagers who were “the three amigos.” Yet teens who actually lived inside that home describe something else entirely: aggression, chokeholds, tension, and behavior reframed by adults as “just playing.” On today’s episode of Hidden Killers, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to break down what these contradictions reveal about denial, family image-management, and the difference between outside perception and lived experience. Shavaun explains why teens often have a more accurate read on the emotional temperature of a home than parents do — especially in blended families where adults may be overly invested in a narrative of unity. She walks us through the psychology of minimizing aggression, why “roughhousing” becomes the excuse of choice, and the gender dynamics that shape which behaviors get dismissed and which get flagged. We also look at why an outsider — in this case, Anna’s ex-boyfriend — might actually provide a more reliable account than adults with emotional or reputational skin in the game. And how cabin assignments made by a travel agent, not the kids themselves, may speak volumes about parental blind spots. This segment is a deep dive into credibility, emotional truth, and the patterns families cling to long after red flags have been waving in plain sight. #AnnaKepner #HiddenKillers #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimePodcast #FamilyDynamics #BlendedFamilies #CruiseShipCase #TonyBrueski #PsychologicalInsight #TeenPerspective Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson is officially back in South Florida — just not the way she planned. According to Florida Department of Corrections records, the convicted mastermind behind the Dan Markel murder-for-hire has been transferred from the Ocala reception center to Homestead Correctional Institution in Miami-Dade County. It's the exact placement her defense team requested at sentencing, when Judge Stephen Everett recommended she be housed close to her husband Harvey. The woman who allegedly funded a contract killing because she couldn't accept her grandchildren living in Tallahassee is now thirty miles from her former life, behind razor wire, serving life without parole. Her son Charlie Adelson is serving his own life sentence in South Dakota after being transferred in 2024 over security concerns. Katherine Magbanua remains at Lowell Annex in Ocala.  The hitmen are locked up. Five people convicted. Eleven years from murder to final judgment. But one question refuses to go away: What about Wendi? Prosecutors identified Dan Markel's ex-wife as an unindicted co-conspirator in court documents. She testified at every trial under limited immunity. She has repeatedly and consistently denied any involvement in or knowledge of the plot. She has never been charged. State Attorney Jack Campbell said his office would "make decisions in the coming weeks" after Donna's conviction — and months later, no decision has been announced. Meanwhile, Donna's "jailhouse daughter" has been talking publicly about the family fractures behind bars, the strain between mother and daughter, and Donna's fears about Harvey's deteriorating health. The Markel family is still fighting for access to their grandchildren under the Markel Act — the law that exists because of this case. This is where the story sits. For now. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #WendiAdelson #HomesteadPrison #MurderForHire #TrueCrime #AdelsonFamily #FloridaCrime #JusticeForDanMarkel #TrueCrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
