A man murdered his sister because she was pregnant and he believed she was no longer innocent.

Bethany Ann Israel has tragically left behind her husband Josh, after her life was taken in a brutal and devastating manner. The person responsible for her death is believed to be her own brother, Jack Joseph Ball. According to police, Ball allegedly killed Bethany, who was four months pregnant at the time, and her unborn child at their family's home in Lakeville, Minnesota.

It all started when Bethany's mother called 911, reporting a large amount of blood found at their home and fearing that her daughter may be dead. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a disturbing and gruesome sight - a pool of blood in the kitchen and various weapons covered in blood, including a saw, hatchet, and knives scattered throughout the house.

To their horror, the officers also discovered Bethany's dismembered body and several other body parts in the home. They also found journals and papers belonging to Ball, where he expressed his anger towards his sister for being pregnant and no longer being "innocent". As the police searched for Ball, they received a call from a nearby resident who had captured footage on their Ring camera of a man leaving what appeared to be a body part on their front step.

The suspect, Ball, was apprehended by the police with a self-inflicted knife wound on his throat. More body parts were found in the area, and it was later determined by the medical examiner's office that Bethany's cause of death was complex homicidal violence.

Bethany was not only a beloved wife, daughter, and sister, but also a well-known figure in the volleyball community. Her warm and kind spirit had touched the lives of many, and her absence has left a void that cannot be filled. A GoFundMe page was set up to help with her funeral expenses and has raised over $30,000.

As for Ball, he has been charged with second-degree murder of his sister and second-degree murder of her unborn child. A judge has set his bail at $2 million with conditions and $1 million without conditions. The Dakota County Attorney, Kathy Keena, described the allegations in this case as "deeply disturbing and horrific".

In the wake of this tragedy, Bethany's love for life, her family, and her friendships are the legacies she leaves behind. She will always be remembered as a beacon of warmth and generosity, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her.
