In a shocking turn of events, investigators have found a bone fragment on a hacksaw that was allegedly discarded by Brian Walshe after he committed the heinous crime of killing and dismembering his wife, Ana. Brian, 47, appeared in Norfolk County Superior Court and pleaded not guilty to a number of charges including first-degree murder, misleading police, obstruction of justice, and improper conveyance of a human body. The victim, Ana, 39, was allegedly killed by Brian on New Year’s Day, and her body has yet to be located. However, investigators have uncovered substantial evidence linking Brian to the murder.
Court documents recently made public reveal that the aforementioned bone fragment was discovered on the hacksaw that Brian had allegedly disposed of near Ana’s mother’s residence in Swampscott, Massachusetts. Additionally, during a search of the dumpsters, investigators found Ana’s COVID-19 vaccination card, Volkswagen keys, clothing items, and jewelry including a Hermes watch, Gucci necklace, Hunter boots, a black Prada purse, and a short black coat.
Surveillance footage and images have also shed light on Brian’s suspicious activities following Ana’s murder. The footage shows Brian purchasing cleaning supplies and disposing of a trash bag in a dumpster. Further investigation revealed that Brian had bought various items including cleaning supplies, a hacksaw, and a hatchet from different stores. The hacksaw, believed to be the murder weapon, was eventually found by investigators.
It has been revealed that Ana had been involved in an affair with an unidentified man for several months. This man informed the police that he had spent Thanksgiving with Ana in Dublin. Moreover, Brian’s search history raised several alarming questions related to body disposal and decomposition times.
The court documents provided additional information regarding the state of Brian and Ana’s home. Rugs featuring red-brown staining and items identical to Brian’s purchases were discovered, indicating possible evidence of the crime. It was also disclosed that Ana, a mother-of-three, was the sole breadwinner of the family, working in real estate in Washington DC, while Brian stayed in Massachusetts with their children. Brian had a criminal conviction for fraud and was awaiting sentencing.
Friends of Ana have claimed that she was planning to leave Brian and exhibited signs of distress before her disappearance. The search warrant revealed that Ana was killed around 4 a.m. on January 1, shortly after bidding farewell to her friend and former boss with whom she celebrated New Year’s Eve.
Brian displayed questionable behavior following Ana’s death, conducting searches related to body disposal and decomposition times on his son’s iPad. He proceeded to purchase various items from different stores, including cleaning agents, plastic sheets, hazmat suits, a hatchet, and a hacksaw. Investigators also observed Brian visiting dumpsters near his mother’s home in the days that followed. It is suspected that Ana’s dismembered remains were initially placed in trash bags, but were subsequently removed and incinerated by waste services prior to the police search.
The defense has put forward various claims, including the assertion that Brian’s mother hired a private investigator to follow Ana due to suspected infidelity, with no evidence suggesting Brian’s involvement. Another potential motive mentioned by prosecutors is the substantial life insurance payout Brian would receive upon his wife’s death. However, his defense attorneys rejected this theory, pointing out the wealth of Brian’s mother.
Brian is expected to appear in court again in August. Until then, the investigation continues, and the search for Ana’s body remains ongoing.
