On the morning of Jan. 8, 2023,
Brian Walshe spoke to police for the second time in two days.
It was during that interview, at least the third time Walshe had spoken to police after his wife, Ana, was reported missing days earlier, that investigators confronted him with grisly Google searches found on his son’s iPad. The device, police told Brian Walshe, searched for “best ways to dispose of a body” around 4:54 a.m. on the morning of Jan. 1, 2023.
Brian Walshe told police he last saw his wife around 6 a.m. on the 1st.
“So how do you explain at about 4:54 in the morning the iPad mini is querying, ‘best ways to dispose of a human body,’” Cohasset Police Sgt. Harrison Schmidt asked Walshe.
“I don’t, I have no idea,” Walshe responded. “I don’t use that iPad, so that’s really weird.”

During the interview, Schmidt continued to press Walshe for an explanation, asking if his then 6-year-old son was of average intelligence.
Walshe said he believed he was, but acknowledged it wasn’t the boy who made the searches.
“How do you explain that?” Schmidt asks again. “I don’t, I have no idea,” Walshe replies.
“So you’re not using that iPad?” Schmidt follows up. Walshe said he did not.
Schmidt notes that the device made several more searches on the afternoon of Jan. 1, 2023, including “does the dishwasher remove blood from a knife.” Attorney Tracy Miner, who represented Walshe in his federal art fraud case, shut down the interview.

When a police investigator told Brian Walshe his son's iPad searched "best ways to dispose of a human body," he offered little explanation.
