Deceased/Not Found MA - Ana Walshe - Supposedly Left Home in Rideshare to Airport - Cohasset #3

[lcookster]

SO grateful that all this evidence was collected and that the Police pursued this with vigor. The destruction of her body is unfathomable. As they were reading the google search list, he did a head shake. Seriously? Does he want us to believe that someone broke into the house and used the son's ipad over the course of several days? Feeling for friends and family members who now have all of this horrendous and detailed information to absorb. Those darling boys.

Wonder what AW's life insurance policy value was.

Well, it's obviously going to the children's estate once they can determine absolute death. I bet it was a hefty, because he wanted it bad enough to take her life.

 

[ilovewings]

Are there some examples of cases where prosecutors managed to convict someone of murder without a found body?

There are cases where there have been convictions without a body: At the moment I cannot think of specific cases but I watch lots of true cases and there have been convictions. They are more difficult of course.

Brian stated Ana left the house at 6 or 6:10am on January 1st. Her phone was pinged and it was found to be at her home on Jan 1, but turned off on January 2nd at 3:14Am. Brian stated Ana was wearing a black dress, hunter boots, watch, necklace and ring and carrying a Prada purse.

that same day he was seen on security video at Home Depot in Rockland buying cleaning supplies, mops, brushes, tape, tarp, a tyvek suit with boots, buckets, goggles, baking soda and a hatchet. at 5:32PM he was seen at some street in Hingham.

January 3rd

By tracking his phone, at 4:27PM he was at an apt complex in Abington. Surveilance photos showed his car and a man fitting his description exit the car near a dumpster. He leans in with a garbage bag which appears to be heavy as he had to heft the bag in. At 4:48PM he hit another complex in Abington to dispose of another bag. And his phone showed him in Brockton at a third complex at 5:10PM. Video again showed him discarding bags at that dumpster in Brockton.

January 4th
Brian went to Home Goods and TJMaxx and purchased towels, bath mats, men's clothing. At 4:15PM he went to Lowes and purchased squeegies and a trash can. That was the day officers went to Ana's to do a well check. They observed his car with seats down and a plastic liner in the back of the car. The next day, the liner was gone and car was freshly vacuumed. Blood was found in the car which matched, through DNA, Ana.
January 5th
His phone showed he travelled to his mothers in Swampscott at 9:34AM and he went to the dumpster on that property.

I wonder if he knew that the dumpsters he used to discard Ana’s body would eventually incinerate the contents or did he just get lucky?

I didn’t hear about any google searches for incinerating a body.

This should not be difficult as there is plenty of circumstantial evidence with intent.

 

[Lexiintoronto]

His face was fairly blank throughout the entire hearing except for three times where he briefly knit his brows and shook his head ‘no’ when these were mentioned: -the google search for how to bound (? difficult to hear) a body
-a second knife was found with Ana’s DNA
-blood was found in his car

His children were mentioned more than once and I didn’t see a change of expression.

My guess based on the rest of his total stupidity is that he just got lucky.

What does mound a body mean? ( im
araid to google)

 

[Cindizzi]

Are there some examples of cases where prosecutors managed to convict someone of murder without a found body?

Kelsey Berreth- Colorado

Kelcie Schelling - Colorado

And hopefully soon Jepsey Kallungi - Colorado trial starts February 7.

I’ve listed the victim names, not the murderers.
All 3 have threads here on WS.

I'm not sure. The prosecutor's voice was muddled and it sounded like "mound", but it could have been something else.

 

[Niner]

Do I have the charges correct?

*Charged (1/17/23) & arraigned (1/18/23) with murder, assault to beat Ana with intent to murder & improper transport of body. Plead not guilty. Held without bond pending indictment.

TIA!

What does mound a body mean? ( im

I took one for the team and googled ‘mound’: a small hill or heap of dirt or stones (as one made to mark a grave) : the slightly raised ground on which a baseball pitcher stands. mound. 2 of 2 verb. : to form into a mound.

It was difficult to hear the DA, but I thought I heard ‘how to bound a body’.

eta: some reporters heard ‘impound’.

“Bound” makes more sense. Thank you.

Just caught up, thank you guys
for all the updates.
I’m speechless. He is stupider than I thought, what was he expecting to find with all those searches? A guide to dispose of a body step by step?

After reading about broken teeth search and beat with intent to kill, that’s how I think that happened, he beat her up (imo) It’s sickening and I hope that the children didn’t hear that happening.

So sad all around, the kids will not have a grave to go to visit their mom ( if she isn’t found) what a piece of **he is.

January 8th
LE search the Cohasset home. Found blood and two knives in the basement, one knife was damaged. There had been no activity on Ana's cards since her last activity before January 1st. LE attempted to get the bags from Abington complex dumpster, but they had already been picked up and taken to a location to be shredded and incinerated. By the time LE got to the location, the contents of the dumpster had been incinerated. LE were able to get the contents of the dumpster from Swampscott which were taken to Peabody. 10 trash bags were recovered at the Peabody transfer station. The bags were stained with blood, as Beland said "a lot". In the bags were towels, rags, slippers, tape, tyvek suit, gloves, cleaning agents, carpets, gloves, hunter boots, Prada purse, Ana's covid card, hacksaw, hatchet and some cutting shears. The purse and boots fit the description of what Ana was last wearing. A portion of the rug was heavily stained with red/brown stains and baking soda. A piece of a necklace that looked like the necklace Ana has been seen wearing. DNA matches were as follows:
Slippers-Brian and Ana's DNA
Tyvek suit-interior cuffs Brian and Ana, exterior left pant leg Ana, interior right sleeve Ana. And tissues on the suit that matched Ana.

And then the added search on December 27th, what's the best state to divorce for a man. "Rather than divorce, it is believed that Brian Walshe dismembered Ana Walshe and discarded her body". ( I had previously stated Ana had done the divorce search, but it was Brian that had made that search on google)

I agree bound makes more sense and I don’t know if she said mound or bound, but ”mound” as a verb can also mean: “To heap into a raised mass”, so he may have been trying to find out how he could best throw the heavy bags of her body (parts?) into a dumpster without breaking his back.

"How long for someone to be missing to inherit?"

It's always about the $$ for this guy. More important to him than his father, his friends, his wife, and his kids.
