"Walshe is standing trial for allegedly killing his wife, Ana, on New Year's Day 2023. Prosecutors say he dismembered her body and dumped her remains in dumpsters around the region, including one near his mother's home. Investigators never found her body. In the days after her disappearance, they say Walshe repeatedly misled police as searches stretched from the couple's Cohasset neighborhood to Washington, D.C., where Ana worked."
"On Nov. 18, just before jury selection began, Walshe pleaded guilty to two charges - misleading police and improperly removing or concealing a body. However, he still faces a first-degree murder charge. Sentencing on the lesser charges will come later. On Monday, defense attorney Larry Tipton argued in his opening statement that Walshe found Ana suddenly dead after a night of New Year's celebrations - and then spiraled into a panic."
