"Photos shown to jurors revealed a trail of items stained with what appeared to be blood - a splattered carpet, men's outdoor slippers soaked through, a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, a Tyvek suit, and an array of tools, including a hammer, wire snips, a hatchet, and a hacksaw streaked with red-brown stains. Walshe is standing trial for allegedly killing his wife, Ana, on New Year's Day 2023."
"Prosecutors say he then dismembered her body and tossed her remains in dumpsters around the region, including the 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. During opening statements, Walshe's attorney, Larry Tipton, argued that Walshe found Ana suddenly dead after a night of New Year's celebrations - and then spiraled into a panic."
Massachusetts State Police forensic scientist Davis Gould testified about evidence recovered from a dumpster outside Walshe's mother's Swampscott apartment. Photos showed a trail of items stained with what appeared to be blood, including a splattered carpet, men's outdoor slippers soaked through, hydrogen peroxide, a Tyvek suit, and tools such as a hammer, wire snips, a hatchet, and a hacksaw streaked with red-brown stains. Prosecutors allege Brian Walshe killed his wife Ana on New Year's Day 2023, dismembered her, and discarded remains in regional dumpsters; investigators never found her body. Investigators say Walshe misled police as searches extended from Cohasset to Washington, D.C. Walshe pleaded guilty to misleading police and improperly removing or concealing a body but continues to face a first-degree murder charge. The court considered narrowing text-message evidence involving William Fastow, who may testify next.
