Hell and Gone Murder Line: The Beallis Family [UPDATE]
On December 3, 2025, deputies were called to the home of 57-year-old Dr. Randall Beallis, his 40 year old wife, Charity Beallis and their six year old twins on South 1st Avenue in Bonanza, Arkansas.  The bodies of Charity, and her two children, a boy and a girl were in the home - all of them had been fatally shot. On March 4, 2026, there was a shocking twist in the case.  According to the sheriff’s office, the evidence reviewed so far did not point to another person being responsible. Investigators now say Charity killed the children - and then killed herself.

Hell and Gone Murder Line: Aaron Hodge [From the Archives]
In October of 1995, something strange was going on inside the Flick home at 302 McNabb Street in Rector, Arkansas.  This family was made up of 36-year-old David Flick, his wife 34-year-old Barbara, their daughter 11-year-old Andria Flick, and Barbara’s son 17-year-old Aaron Michael Hodge, who she had from a previous relationship.  Barbara was a nurse, and her husband David had a transmission shop that specialized in fixing transmissions. Friends and family said that they were a happy couple.  Andria played basketball and did beauty pageants. Aaron was well liked by his friends as well, and both Andria and Aaron were popular at school.  Andria, Barbara and David were planning on going to Florida to visit relatives, leaving Aaron at home. And like many teens at home alone, he threw a party.  This seems perfectly normal… except that David, Barbara and Andria never arrived in Florida.  And several days laters, the police discovered their bodies, all shot to death in their house.  On the surface, this appeared to be a perfect family, but detectives quickly discovered that things behind closed doors were far from what they seemed.  What happened to turn the seemingly perfect family into a house of horrors?  If you have a case you’d like Catherine Townsend to look into, you can reach out to us at our Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hell and Gone Murder Line: Lori Murchison [From the Archives]
On Sept. 1, 1995, a police officer in Fort Smith, Arkansas pulled over a vehicle. A man named Jerry Cogan was driving and his girlfriend, 24-year-old Lori Murchison, was the passenger.  Lori worked at a local nursing home. She had a four year old daughter, Britney, and adored her little girl. But Lori had been battling an addiction to drugs, according to what her friends told police, mainly to methamphetamines and also alcohol.  Because of that, Lori had been living with her mother, Nancy, in between staying at different local motels, and Nancy had been taking care of Lori’s daughter on and off. Lori and Jerry had been at a bar that night. When the officer pulled them over, he believed that both of them had been drinking. So, he placed Jerry under arrest for DUI, and Lori for suspicion of public intoxication.  Lori was taken to the Sebastian County jail. And she was released sometime after 5 AM on September 2nd. She told detectives that she planned to get money and come back to bail Jerry out.  But she never returned to jail. The last time she was seen alive was at the Continental Motel, when she was picking up a key to a room.  Her family had no way of knowing where she was - or that the hunt for this missing mother would eventually involve charges of corruption at the highest levels of government.  If you have a case you’d like the Hell and Gone team to look into, you can reach out to us at our Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
