"On Monday, opening statements will take place in the murder trial of Brian Walshe - a case that has drawn national attention since his wife, Ana, vanished nearly three years ago. Prosecutors accuse Walshe of killing her on New Year's Day 2023, dismembering her body, and discarding her remains in dumpsters across the region, including one near his mother's home. Investigators never recovered her body."
"Investigators recovered evidence from a dumpster near his mother's home, including a rug from the family's home, distinctive jewelry, and a watch Ana wore on New Year's Eve. They also found 10 trash bags in Peabody containing cleaning supplies, boots consistent with those people say they last saw Ana wearing, cutting tools, and her COVID-19 vaccine card. Analysts later detected both Brian's and Ana's DNA on slippers and a Tyvek suit found among the items."
