Jesse Beale charged in Queensland with killing ex-wife Crystal Beale after a dinner dispute, body found in Brisbane River.

Jesse Beale, 49, is facing murder and misconduct with a corpse charges in Queensland after his ex-wife, Crystal Beale, was last seen alive following a family dinner in Sunnybank. Prosecutors say she confronted him about graphic photos of her on his device during a car ride, and was killed near Ryan Street, with her body later found in the Brisbane River. CCTV showed his car parked near Carlow Street for 11 minutes with no one exiting, and his phone was later recovered near the river. Beale’s search history included tide times and privacy tools, raising suspicion. He was denied bail, and his defense cited Beale’s substance abuse and mental health struggles. The case continues in the Supreme Court of Queensland.
