In a shocking twist to the death of 49-year-old Sunshine Coast woman Crystal Beale earlier this year, her ex-husband has been charged with her murder. Crystal was found dead in the Brisbane River by a member of the public at Yeronga on February 22. Early investigations into Crystal’s death suggested it was non-suspicious, however by March police confirmed a homicide investigation had been launched. The man was Crystal’s former husband Jesse Wahlen Beale, police allege. Police alleged 49-year-old Jesse murdered Crystal before moving her body into the Brisbane River, where she was later found.
