Still Missing MA - Ana Walshe, 39, allegedly left home, may have been dismembered, Cohasset, Jan 2023 *husband indicted* #4

Also did Brian really make calls to the hospitals?
I've missed a lot this afternoon.

He said the hospitals "didn't have her" but I'm not seeing any evidence that he called them.

But of course he didn't know what his future story was going to be, in order to stage it accordingly.

Yeah, I just got back to watching when I heard that and wondered if they had already proved or disproved he actually called or not. His strategy for murder is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

So BW was reading AW's texts on 1/2/23. Is that what I'm hearing? I'm trying to multi-task. Catch me up.

 

[BUF]

Did anyone hear that tomorrow is a half day?

 

[Megnut]

The State better reveal the significance of the hole in the bedroom ceiling. Serious plot hole.

Did anyone hear that tomorrow is a half day?

Yes. And boy do I need it.

I always have to remind myself that his defense is that she suddenly died. I hate that because all this is proving is that he is a liar. The defense will either make it look like the kids messed with the phones and that is why they were read after her death or that he was still in his panicked state - after all he had a lot to do with his google searches, home depot and dumpster errands.

I have no doubt the jury will see this for what it really is.

 

[Yemelyan]

Did anyone hear that tomorrow is a half day?

Yes, the judge said she had to schedule hearings in some of the other cases she is in charge of so that they also stay on track.

LOL ….memories of another Dedham trial! This is a much better judge though….

Yes in the Judgfe dept it is like night and day isn't it compared to the KR trial. This Judge is very professional and polished and trying to do the right thing. Not snarky or drawing attention to herself. So refreshing JMO

What's with the Katie Holmes divorce I wonder?

Given Katie Holmes filed for divorce from TC in June 2012-- I don't think this one just randomly populated the search engine. Perhaps the Holmes divorce was of interest to BW since Holmes reportedly filed while TC was filming in Iceland, and TC was said to be blindsided by her action. Citing her desire to protect their daughter from Scientology as a primary reason, the divorce was finalized quickly, and Holmes was granted sole custody of their daughter.

IMO, I think BW could have been paranoid that a similar fate could happen to him-- Ana would use his unsettled federal case to secure a quick divorce, and gain full custody of their children. In reality, BW had used their children as his 'get out of jail card' (i.e., bail condition provided for home confinement, citing BW as their primary caregiver). Except BW just couldn't help himself: after Ana's years of sacrifice, support, and patience, on the very day the Court was set to impose a non-imprisonment sentence for his 2018 federal case, the Court learned of new allegations made against BW in Probate Court, and postponed imposing the federal sentence that was about to set him free from home confinement and no imprisonment! (See my earlier posts re. BW's 2018 Federal Indictment re. Warhol).

Take note BW's interrupted federal sentencing occurred on 10/8/21, and Ana took a position with Tishman Speyer in Washington, DC by February 2022. Due in part to the atrocious allegations made against BW, involving his father's estate, the imposition of BW's federal sentence was still on hold at the time of Ana's murder.

BW was finally sentenced on 2/20/24 for the 2018 Andy Warhol, 4-count indictment, plus two additional counts of obstruction of justice, after failing to disclose assets on the defendant's financial statements presented to the Court.
