Brian Walshe goes on trial in death of wife who disappeared more than 2 years ago

Brian Walshe admitted disposing of his wife Ana's body but denies murder; prosecutors must prove homicide without a recovered body using physical and digital evidence.

  • Brian Walshe, a Massachusetts father, pleaded guilty to misleading police and improperly handling human remains before his trial for allegedly killing and dismembering his wife Ana Walshe.
  • The jurors were selected in November but will not return until December 1 for opening statements, and prosecutors plan to present physical evidence, DNA links, and Walshe's online searches about disposing of a body.
  • Walshe has a prior conviction for selling forged Andy Warhol paintings, and investigators found a hacksaw, knife with blood and bone fragments, and cleaning products he allegedly purchased after his wife's disappearance.
