Brian Walshe has been convicted of first-degree murder in the death of his wife Ana Walshe, who disappeared on New Year's Day 2023. After just six hours of deliberation, a Norfolk County jury found the 50-year-old Cohasset man guilty of premeditated murder — making this one of the rare cases where a first-degree murder conviction was secured without the victim's body ever being recovered. Ana Walshe, a 39-year-old mother of three who worked as a real estate manager in Washington D.C., was last seen alive in the early morning hours of January 1, 2023, after a New Year's Eve celebration at the family home.  Prosecutors presented devastating digital evidence including Google searches from Brian's devices for "best way to dispose of a body," "hacksaw best tool to dismember," and "how long for someone to be missing to inherit." Surveillance footage showed Walshe purchasing a hacksaw, Tyvek suit, and cleaning supplies at Lowe's on New Year's Day. Investigators recovered blood-stained items from dumpsters including Ana's Hunter boots, pieces of carpet with her DNA, and a hacksaw that tested positive for her blood. The defense argued Ana died suddenly and unexpectedly, sending Brian into a panic — but called zero witnesses and Walshe himself declined to testify. Prosecutors pointed to a $2.7 million life insurance policy, a deteriorating marriage, and Ana's affair with a D.C. realtor as motive.  Sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday where Walshe faces mandatory life in prison without the possibility of parole. Ana's sister released a statement saying simply: "Justice has been served."  #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheVerdict #GuiltyVerdict #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #CohassetMurder #JusticeForAna #FirstDegreeMurder #TrueCrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Brian Walshe murder trial has reached its final stage. A jury of six men and six women is now deliberating whether the Massachusetts father of three is guilty of murdering and dismembering his wife Ana Walshe on New Year's Day 2023. Closing arguments revealed two starkly different narratives.  Prosecutor Anne Yas pointed directly at Walshe and declared Ana is dead because he murdered her, describing him as cool and calculated as he bought hacksaws and cleaning supplies with cash while searching online for how to dispose of a body. The defense countered that Walshe found his wife dead in bed from sudden unexplained causes and panicked, making terrible decisions but never planning to harm the woman he loved.  The jury has three options on their verdict slip: not guilty, first-degree murder which carries life without parole, or second-degree murder which would make Walshe eligible for parole after 15 to 25 years. During deliberations the jury asked to see exhibit 97, a photograph of Ana lying on a rug in her living room. That same rug was later found cut into pieces in a dumpster, soaked in her blood, with a fragment of her necklace embedded in the fibers.  Ana Walshe's body has never been recovered. Brian Walshe has already pleaded guilty to disposing of her remains and misleading police, though the jury was not told about those admissions. Whatever verdict comes back, it won't answer the question haunting this case: what actually happened in that Cohasset home between the champagne toast at midnight and the first Google search at 4:52 a.m. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrime #MurderTrial #JuryDeliberation #CohassetMurder #ClosingArguments #TrueCrimeNews #JusticeForAna Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One month after 18-year-old Anna Kepner was found dead on the Carnival Horizon, the case has exploded into public view — not because the FBI has announced charges, but because her own family is now exposing details that paint an increasingly disturbing picture of what happened inside that cabin. In a December 5th custody hearing in Brevard County, Anna’s older stepbrother testified under oath that their stepfather, Christopher Kepner, once put him in a chokehold during a custody dispute — the same type of bar hold that killed Anna. That testimony, delivered while the FBI is investigating a homicide involving the identical technique, immediately raised questions about where a 16-year-old could have learned a neck restraint that takes minutes to execute. This episode breaks down everything emerging from court: the skipped psychiatric medications in the days before Anna’s death, the suspect’s hospitalization after the ship docked, the parents moving him to an undisclosed location because they feared he was too dangerous to be around other children, and the family fracturing into public accusations. The grandmother says security footage shows only the stepbrother entering and exiting the cabin. Anna’s father told People magazine he wants his stepson to “face the consequences.” Then retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to dissect the behavioral complexity surrounding concealment — Anna hidden under a bed, wrapped and placed out of sight. Robin explains why concealment by juveniles doesn’t automatically equal malice; panic, dissociation, and shock can drive catastrophic decisions. We look at shifting statements, trauma responses, family chaos, and what investigators prioritize next: timelines, nonverbal cues, consistency, and the autopsy. No one has been charged. But the family has drawn its own conclusions — loudly and publicly. More testimony comes December 17th. We’ll stay on it. #AnnaKepner #CarnivalCruise #CruiseShipInvestigation #TrueCrimeNews #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #JuvenileCases #FamilyDynamics #CrimeInvestigation #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brian Walshe is on trial for murdering and dismembering his wife, Ana — a woman whose body has never been found. He has already pleaded guilty to disposing of her remains and lying to investigators, but maintains he didn’t kill her. His explanation: he woke up, found Ana dead from an unexplained medical event, panicked, and tried to “protect his children.” The prosecution says the evidence tells a very different story. In this full interview, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — former chief of the Bureau’s Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — breaks down every behavioral marker in this case: Walshe’s police interviews, his shifting explanations, the marriage dynamics, the hidden affair, and the sequence of Google searches that began at 4:55 a.m. with “how long before a body starts to smell.” We also examine the explosive testimony from Day 6 of the trial. Jurors watched surveillance video of a masked man in blue latex gloves pushing a cart through Lowe’s on New Year’s Day, buying a hacksaw, hatchet, mops, buckets, and a Tyvek suit — all paid for in cash. Hours later, prosecutors say Walshe dumped a trash bag behind a closed liquor store. Inside that bag: blood-soaked carpet, human hair, and a piece of Gucci jewelry Ana owned. Crime lab experts testified that nearly every tool recovered from dumpsters tested positive for blood — including the hacksaw, hatchet, hammer, and tin snips. The basement showed blood stains near black trash bags. The bedroom — where the defense claims Ana died suddenly — was forensically clean. No blood. No disturbance. No biological trace. The medical examiner testified that sudden natural death in a healthy 39-year-old woman is “pretty rare.” After this breakdown, you’ll understand the evidence the jury is weighing — and what it actually means. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #WalsheTrial #TrueCrimeNews #ForensicEvidence #RobinDreeke #FBIAnalysis #MurderTrial #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeForAna Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Prosecutors in the Brian Walshe murder trial are trying to do something extremely rare: prove first-degree murder without a body, without a weapon, and without a confirmed cause of death. Ana Walshe has never been found. But what the Commonwealth does have is a digital trail that reads like a blueprint for premeditated murder — and a defendant positioned to receive $2.7 million in life insurance if his wife died. According to testimony from Massachusetts State Police Trooper Nicholas Guarino, the searches began at 4:52 a.m. on New Year’s Day: “Best way to dispose of a body.” Three minutes later: “How long before a body starts to smell.” Over the next several days, the searches continued and escalated — questions about DNA degradation, dismemberment tools, identifying remains with broken teeth, and research into serial killer Patrick Kearney, the so-called “trash bag killer.” Day 5 testimony took the case even deeper. Trooper Connor Keefe read dozens of text messages Brian allegedly sent to Ana’s phone for three days after prosecutors say she was already dead. None were delivered. Her phone was never recovered. In court, jurors also saw the tools investigators pulled from a Swampscott dumpster — a hacksaw, hatchet, hammer, shears, tape, even a measuring cup — items prosecutors say Brian used to dismember her body. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to assess the strength of the Commonwealth’s case, the role of circumstantial evidence in no-body prosecutions, and how the defense is trying to introduce doubt through marital context and investigative missteps. Brian Walshe admits he disposed of Ana’s body — but the jury doesn’t know that. Now the question is whether the prosecution has enough to prove he killed her.

In this full episode, Bob Motta joins us to dissect the entire defense strategy playing out in the Brian Walshe murder trial — a strategy built not on one cohesive story, but on three shaky pillars the defense is hoping can hold up under the weight of the evidence. First, Bob walks us through the “sudden death” claim — the idea that Ana died unexpectedly in her sleep and Brian panicked. Not murdered. Not harmed. Just suddenly gone. Bob explains why the defense is leaning into this bizarre narrative, what they were trying to draw out of the medical examiner, and whether a jury will ever buy that a medical fluke led to dismemberment and disposal. Then we turn to the “clean bedroom” angle. The defense hopes the lack of forensic evidence in that room creates doubt. Bob breaks down whether that’s a real foothold or a mirage — because while the bedroom is spotless, the basement is a forensic crime story written in blood. We explore whether jurors interpret a clean space as innocence… or bleach. Finally, we tackle the heart of the case: there is no body. No autopsy. No official cause of death. Bob explains how prosecutors build a murder case anyway, what standards they must meet, and why circumstantial evidence — when stacked high enough — becomes its own undeniable force. This conversation is the full blueprint of where the defense is going, what they hope the jury grabs onto, and where the entire strategy may collapse under its own contradictions. If you want to understand not just what the defense is arguing, but why, this is the full breakdown. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #MurderTrial #LegalAnalysis #TonyBrueski #CourtroomBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Brian Walshe case isn’t just about timelines, evidence dumps, and surveillance clips — it’s about a mindset. A pattern. A psychological profile that becomes harder to ignore the deeper you look. Today, we’re combining the trial’s most explosive Day 4 revelations with a full behavioral breakdown from psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, who helps us decode what investigators say they’re seeing in real time. In court, jurors learned that Brian Walshe allegedly searched “Ana Walshe found dead” on Christmas Day 2022 — a full week before his defense claims Ana died suddenly and unexpectedly in their bed. Prosecutors also introduced testimony from Ana’s boyfriend, William Fastow, who revealed a relationship built on plans, long-term goals, and a future without Brian. Surveillance footage and cell-tower data added even more pressure, placing Brian near dumpsters across multiple apartment complexes in the days after Ana vanished. But the evidence only tells half the story. Shavaun Scott walks us through the psychology underneath it all: the shifting stories, the image-management, the sudden claims that “no one would believe” the truth, and the digital trail investigators say points to preoccupation — not panic. She explains why certain explanations fit a familiar behavioral pattern, and how someone can publicly perform calm normalcy while privately unraveling. This episode connects the emotional framework, the alleged deception, and the forensic timeline into one picture: not speculation, but applied psychological analysis paired with courtroom testimony. If you’re trying to understand the gap between what’s being said and what’s being shown, this conversation lays it out plainly. 🔔 Subscribe for daily trial coverage, expert insight, and the most complete breakdowns anywhere. #BrianWalshe #AnaWalshe #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeToday  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two shocking criminal cases. Profoundly different stories. But a single unifying variable: evidence. In this special all-in-one episode, former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to walk us through both the Luigi Mangione suppression hearing and the early trial of Brian Walshe — side by side. What you’ll get: A look at the body-cam video in a McDonald’s, a backpack with a ghost-gun + manifesto, and the scrambled fate of the Mangione case. A deep dive into Mangione’s weird behavior after the killing — surrender, confessions, chatter in custody — and what it all might mean. A breakdown of digital footprints, dumpster trails, and forensic evidence in the Walshe trial that could rewrite the defense’s story. A broader discussion of public reaction — from “Free Luigi” supporters to nervous watchers of Walshe’s fate — plus the danger of copycats and the impact on judicial precedent. What to watch next: suppression rulings, trial dates, possible appeals — and how both cases reflect larger tensions around ideology, justice, and the law. This episode isn’t just about crime. It’s about how evidence shapes narratives — and why what stays or gets thrown out could define not just verdicts, but public perception of justice itself.
