While Ana’s body has still not been found, prosecutors reeled off a long list of information to a judge on Wednesday, leading them to believe that Brian ‘dismembered and discarded her body.’ Prosecutors said that starting January 1, Walshe made at least 20 Google searches, asking about dead bodies and how to dispose of them. Prosecutors also added that the searches were made on his son’s iPad from January 1 to January 3.

Why did Brian Walshe kill his wife?

According to one of his Google searches ‘What’s the best state to divorce for a man’ on December 27, 2022, it clearly shows that Brian wants to separate from his wife.

But after some days, after celebrating the new year with a friend, Brian, and Ana Walshe went to bed around 1 or 1:30 a.m. He told police Ana left early that morning for her job in Washington DC but there is no evidence she left the home.
