Finding Ana | This Disappearance of Ana Walshe

In this segment, Bob Motta helps us untangle one of the most challenging elements of the case: Ana Walshe’s body has never been found. No remains. No autopsy. No definitive cause of death. And yet prosecutors are moving forward with a full murder charge. Bob breaks down what prosecutors need to prove in a no-body case, and why this one may be stronger than most. While the defense argues that the l...

Day 7 of the Brian Walshe murder trial delivered the most damning forensic testimony yet. A Massachusetts State Police DNA analyst confirmed that Ana Walshe's genetic material was recovered from a piece of human tissue found in a dumpster near Brian's mother's apartment — the closest investigators have come to finding her remains nearly three years after her disappearance. But that wasn't all. Ana...

In this conversation with defense attorney Bob Motta , we dig into the strange forensic angle the defense is clinging to: the fact that investigators found no biological evidence in the bedroom where Brian claims Ana died naturally. Crime lab specialist Matthew Sheehan testified that blood was found everywhere it should be if a body was moved and dismembered: the hacksaw, the hammer, the hatchet,...

In this segment, defense attorney Bob Motta joins us to dismantle one of the most bizarre strategies unfolding in the Brian Walshe murder trial: the claim that Ana Walshe simply died in her sleep… and Brian responded by dismembering her. Brian has already pleaded guilty to cutting up his wife’s body and dumping her remains across multiple towns. That part isn’t in dispute. So why is the defense le...

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 g...

The first week of testimony has shaken the foundation of the defense for Brian Walshe. From cell-phone data placing him at multiple dumpster sites to surveillance footage and forensic tools found nearby — the prosecution says the timeline and digital footprints speak louder than any alibi. Guest: ex-FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer. She guides us through: How investigators used synced devic...

Day 6 of the Brian Walshe murder trial gave jurors something they won't forget — surveillance footage of a masked man in blue latex gloves pushing a cart through a Lowe's on New Year's Day 2023. Inside that cart: a hacksaw, a hatchet, a utility knife, a Tyvek suit, mops, buckets, and cleaning supplies. The total was $463.23. He paid cash. Hours later, prosecutors say Walshe drove to a liquor store...

Brian Walshe is on trial right now for murdering and dismembering his wife Ana. Her body has never been found. He's already pleaded guilty to disposing of her remains and lying to police—but he says he didn't kill her. His defense: he woke up, found her dead from some unexplained medical event, and panicked. Rather than call 911, he spent three days Googling how to dismember a body, bought a hacks...

Whatever happened to Ana Walshe in the early hours of January 1, 2023, her husband left a trail. Starting at 4:55 a.m., he searched "how long before a body starts to smell." Over the next 72 hours: "hacksaw best tool to dismember," "can you be charged with murder without a body," "how to clean blood from wooden floor." He went to Home Depot in surgical gloves and a mask, paying cash for tarps, mop...

Day 5 of the Brian Walshe murder trial delivered some of the most disturbing testimony yet — text messages prosecutors say Brian sent to his wife Ana's phone for three days after allegedly killing and dismembering her. Massachusetts State Trooper Connor Keefe read the messages aloud in Norfolk Superior Court. They show Brian Walshe's tone shifting from casual to concerned to frantic between Januar...

From the outside, the Walshes had it together. Three kids, a house in upscale Cohasset, a townhome in D.C., and Ana rising through commercial real estate. But the structure was fractured in ways that matter. Ana was months into an affair. Brian was under federal home confinement for art fraud, unable to travel, serving as primary caregiver while his wife built a separate life 400 miles away. She w...

Brian Walshe sat across from detectives and told them everything was fine. Happy marriage. No affair. No idea where his wife went. He said he'd "never do anything to hurt" Ana. What investigators didn't tell him right away was that they'd already pulled his search history—queries like "how long before a body starts to smell" and "can you be charged with murder without a body." In this interview, r...

The Brian Walshe trial has barely begun, and already the defense story is cracking under the weight of its own contradictions. Today on Hidden Killers, we break down the opening statements — not just what each side said, but what the evidence actually shows. Because if you watched the defense’s narrative unfold, you probably noticed something: it doesn’t come anywhere close to matching the digital...
